WCI built it as a bundled-golf community of roughly 1,299 homes, and it comes with a rare extra: a boat shuttle to the Gulf of Mexico down the Estero River. Condos and coach homes start in the high $200s, and single-family homes run to just over $900K as of Q2 2026, with golf membership included in ownership. For buyers who want golf and Gulf access without an estate-level budget, this is one of the best values in Estero.

Pelican Sound is part of the School District of Lee County, with Pinewoods Elementary and Estero High School, which offers the Cambridge AICE program, among the nearby school options. Since attendance boundaries can change, it’s always a good idea to confirm the current zoning with the School District of Lee County .
Buyers pick Pelican Sound because it pairs bundled golf with Gulf boat access, and it does so at a price well below the region’s estate communities. That combination is why downsizers and seasonal buyers like it here.
