Step outside to your private sun deck under a pergola—the perfect spot for your morning coffee or sunset cocktail.
Whether you're soaking up the views from one of the balconies, floating in the pool, walking to the beach, or watching wildlife from the dock, The Pink Pelican makes it easy to embrace the laid-back luxury of island life. Dolphins, manatees, and a variety of coastal birds are frequent visitors in this tranquil setting.
Located on Florida’s Gulf Coast just outside Sarasota and an hour south of Tampa, Longboat Key is known for its pristine beaches, fine dining, and relaxed sophistication.
