544 Tierra Mar | More Freedom Than a Condo

The truth about “condo vs villa” in Pelican Bay

A lot of Pelican Bay buyers start by touring condos because that’s what they see online first. Then they experience villa living and it clicks. It’s not about being anti-condo. It’s about wanting a home that feels personal and grounded, with fewer shared spaces and more lifestyle flexibility.

What “more freedom” can look like

Here’s how buyers usually describe it after they tour a villa:

• “It feels like a real home, not a building.”

• “I can step outside and breathe.”

• “I like having my own garage.”

• “Entertaining feels easier.”

• “It’s lock-and-leave, but not sterile.”

How this Tierra Mar villa delivers that feeling
