Life in the Reef!

By
Real Estate Agent with Endless Summer Realty

Pelican Reef is an exclusive waterfront community located just south west of Anastasia Island's famous Lighthouse.  There will only be 125 homes to ever be built here on this pristine tract of land, bordered by the sparkling Intracoastal waterway to the west, and extensive marshlands filled with native birds of every size and color!  For those with water front property, your views are extensive and include the historic Bridge of Lions, the downtown skyline, The famous Cross, and dramatic sunsets compliments of Mother Nature each evening! The waterfront is calm and beautiful and you will enjoy the shrimp boats with their nets full and a sky full of birds following. If you are up early enough, you can watch the birds fly from the neighboring Alligator Farm in the morning and then later, at dusk, returning to their roost, all in beautiful formation. The dolphin live and play right in our back yards and fishing from your dock or the community pier is plentiful! Our best neighbors are the Roseate Spoonbills, the tall Blue Herons who stop cars (we do not have traffic!) as they saunter across the street from pond to marsh, and the dolphins that splash and play in our back yards!

All of the homes save for only a few, back to marsh, ponds, tributaries running to the Intracoastal, and then of course direct Intracoastal waterway! The neighborhood offers a community pier for all to use which is included in your low quarterly fees of only 285.00. You have the ultimate in privacy and the community is secured by a beautiful wrought iron gate, 24/7. For those boaters who do not purchase a home that is waterfront, you have boat slips, only several years new, right here in the community. You can rent a boat slip for approximately 9.50 per foot, per month. For this you have exclusive use of the boat slip (boats up to approximately 32 feet), water, electricity, and a storage box. Quite a deal and you never have to leave the community!

For those who enjoy biking or running, you are only a short distance from many locations such as the Amphitheater, The State Park Beach, Restaurants, Shops, The Bridge of Lions to Historic Downtown, The Alligator Farm and so much more. The cross breezes from Ocean to Intracoastal cool you and keep the air fresh and clean.  The soil is rich and fruits and flowering plants grow in abundance so the gardener in you is welcome to come out and play!

The community plans events for all ages such as the hayride and trick or treat events on Halloween, the Easter egg hunt and brunch, and always a magnificent 4th of July event where we in this community have Front Row Seats for the downtown fireworks on the water. Pelican Reef is Anastasia Island's best kept secret! Come and join us in a community where the neighbors love to live and play in their island paradise! We have both stunning homes and outstanding vacant lots for sale in a variety of price ranges. Call today to come and discover your own piece of Heaven on Earth!

Thank you everyone. Yes it is a beautiful place to live work and play!!! As for the name, we are a waterfront community and some of the docks are home to many wonderful brown and white Pelicans. They also dot the shoreline here and are amazing to watch flying in formation overhead between here and the beach, less than a mile away. Hence, Pelican Reef! We are truly blessed by Mother Nature here!

I have very fond memories of St. Augustine --- when I lived in Tallahasee and Orlando, this was one of my favorite get-aways. Loved that the city offers so many Bed and Breakfast places. This one sounds like a dreamy place to live. How lucky you are!
