Island Sound is one of the most desirable residential neighborhoods within the gated Pelican Sound Golf & River Club in Estero, Florida. Uniquely offering both coach homes (Island Sound I) and mid-rise condominiums (Island Sound II), the neighborhood provides buyers with a variety of floor plans, beautiful golf course and lake views, bundled championship golf, and access to one of Southwest Florida's premier golf and boating communities. Its central location, maintenance-free lifestyle, and outstanding amenities make Island Sound a favorite among both seasonal and year-round residents.
Situated in the heart of Pelican Sound, Island Sound offers residents convenient access to the community's extensive amenities while providing a peaceful setting surrounded by lush fairways, sparkling lakes, tropical landscaping, and protected preserves. Many homes enjoy panoramic views of the golf course and waterways, creating a tranquil environment that perfectly complements Southwest Florida's outdoor lifestyle.
Island Sound is divided into two distinct neighborhoods. Island Sound I features spacious two-story coach homes with attached one-car garages. These residences offer approximately 1,551 to 1,669 square feet of living space with two to three bedrooms, open floor plans, large screened lanais, and generous primary suites. Island Sound II consists of four-story condominium buildings with elevators and covered carports. These residences generally range from approximately 1,250 to 1,560 square feet and feature two-bedroom plus den and three-bedroom floor plans designed to maximize natural light and scenic views.
Many residences throughout Island Sound have been beautifully updated with modern kitchens featuring quartz or granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, luxury flooring, renovated bathrooms, impact-resistant windows and doors, and stylish coastal finishes. Spacious screened lanais provide the perfect place to relax while overlooking championship golf fairways, peaceful lakes, and abundant Florida wildlife.
One of Island Sound's greatest benefits is its bundled golf membership. Every homeowner enjoys full membership privileges at Pelican Sound Golf & River Club, including unlimited access to the community's 27-hole championship golf course designed by Chip Powell. Unlike many private golf communities, ownership includes golf privileges without requiring the purchase of a separate equity membership, making Pelican Sound one of Southwest Florida's most attractive bundled golf communities.
Beyond golf, Pelican Sound offers an exceptional collection of resort-style amenities. Residents enjoy multiple swimming pools and spas, a state-of-the-art fitness center, professionally staffed tennis and pickleball facilities, bocce courts, walking and biking trails, and an active social calendar featuring clubs, tournaments, fitness classes, concerts, holiday events, and year-round activities designed to foster a vibrant community atmosphere.
One of the features that truly sets Pelican Sound apart is its direct access to Estero Bay. Residents have access to private boat storage, a community boat launch, kayak and canoe facilities, and the exclusive private shuttle boat to Lovers Key State Park. This unique amenity allows homeowners to enjoy boating, fishing, shelling, paddleboarding, kayaking, and relaxing on one of Southwest Florida's most beautiful Gulf beaches without leaving the community.
Pelican Sound also offers several outstanding dining venues, including the recently renovated Golf Club, the River Club, the Pelican Pub, and casual waterfront dining options. Whether enjoying lunch after a round of golf or gathering with friends for dinner overlooking the Estero River, residents benefit from a true country club experience with numerous opportunities for socializing and recreation.
Island Sound enjoys an outstanding Estero location just west of U.S. 41, placing residents minutes from Coconut Point Mall, Miromar Outlets, Gulf Coast Town Center, Hertz Arena, Southwest Florida International Airport, and the white-sand beaches of Bonita Springs and Fort Myers Beach. Convenient access to Interstate 75 makes traveling throughout Southwest Florida quick and easy.
Real estate within Island Sound remains highly desirable because of its variety of home styles, bundled golf membership, resort-style amenities, and exceptional location within Pelican Sound. Whether buyers are seeking a seasonal retreat, investment property, or full-time residence, Island Sound offers an outstanding combination of value, luxury, and lifestyle in one of Estero's premier golf communities.
