7008 Pelican Bay Blvd #304, Calais at Pelican Bay, Naples FL

Lifestyle vignette

Morning light filters in over the Pelican Bay golf course, catching the tops of the trees right at eye level. You slide open the doors, feel that soft Gulf breeze, and all you hear is birds, a distant golf cart, and the quiet hum of a community that moves at a relaxed, coastal pace.

Coffee happens in the open kitchen while you watch the first golfers of the day, framed perfectly by the wide, reimagined great room. No projects, no to-do list, just a beautifully finished space that already feels like “you.”

In the afternoon, you walk across the street to the Pelican Bay beach tram, ride through the mangroves, and spend a few unhurried hours at the private beach club. Later, it is an easy decision between a quiet dinner at home, cocktails at Marker 36, or a spur-of-the-moment reservation at Waterside Shops.

Evenings here are golden hour on the lanai, the last groups finishing their round, and a home that feels like a private, tree top gallery of golf course views. You close the door, take in the warm, modern interiors, and it hits you again: this is exactly the Naples life you were hoping for.

What it feels like day to day

Mornings:
Soft morning light comes in over the fairway while you make coffee in the open kitchen. The travertine floors stay cool underfoot, and the great room feels wide open, with that calming stretch of green right in front of you.

Afternoons:
Work, errands, or a workout at the Pelican Bay fitness center, then a quick walk to the tram for a few hours at the beach. It is central enough to get everywhere quickly, but the feel inside the residence stays quiet, relaxed, and private.

Evenings:
Sunset on the lanai with the last golfers of the day in the distance, then either an easy dinner at home or a short drive to Waterside Shops, Artis Naples, or Mercato. When you return, you park under the building, take the elevator up, and step into a space that feels more like a boutique hotel than a condo.

Buyer Decision Framework

Privacy vs proximity:
Here, you get both. You are in a central Pelican Bay location that makes it simple to reach the beach tram, beach clubs, and nearby shopping, yet the third floor tree top vantage point keeps the residence quiet and buffered from street activity.

Golf-course view vs waterfront view:
If you love the calm of a wide green view instead of boat traffic or pool noise, this golf course exposure is ideal. You still live in a beach club community and can be at the Gulf in minutes, but your everyday backdrop is peaceful and soft.

Guest suite strategy:
The split bedroom floor plan means guests have their own wing, with access to a beautifully updated bath and privacy away from the main living area. It works equally well for visiting friends and family, or seasonal guests who stay for several weeks at a time.

Renovated now vs renovate later:
This residence is the “renovated now” choice. Walls have already been removed, flooring is consistent throughout, and the kitchen and baths are finished. If you would rather start enjoying Pelican Bay immediately instead of interviewing contractors, this floor plan and finish level remove that entire decision set.

Seasonal living considerations:
For seasonal residents, under building parking protects from weather, and the secure building entry makes this an easy lock and leave home. For full time residents, the central Pelican Bay location cuts down driving time and keeps your daily routine efficient year round. (We never recommend leaving a car here during the summer unless you have someone that can move it if we have a hurricane)

Questions buyers always ask

Q: How close is this residence to the Pelican Bay beach tram and beach clubs?
A: Calais sits in the north central part of Pelican Bay, and from this building it is a short, comfortable walk across the street to the tram. From there, you can be at the private beach clubs, Gulf-front dining, and miles of sandy beach within minutes.

Q: What makes this condo feel different from an original Calais residence that has not been updated?
A: The walls between the kitchen and living areas have been removed, the floors are continuous large scale travertine tile, and the kitchen and baths have been modernized. The original floor plan had three screened balconies that have all been enclosed with hurricane glass doors, making the residence bigger. The entire space feels open, cohesive, and current, rather than segmented or dated.

Q: Are the furnishings included in the sale?
A: Yes, the residence is offered furnished. The pieces were selected by a designer specifically for this space, so it truly functions as a turnkey second home or immediate primary residence.

Q: How does the third floor position live compared to lower or higher floors?
A: Third floor at Calais puts you right at the tree top level, which gives you a wide, green panorama without feeling too high or removed from the landscape. It feels intimate and connected, yet still elevated and private above the course.

Q: What are the main amenities of Calais and Pelican Bay that come with this address?
A: Calais offers its own pool and clubhouse with a small fitness room, while Pelican Bay residents enjoy private beach access via tram, beach clubs, Gulf-front dining, tennis, pickleball, fitness, and walking paths, all in an incredibly convenient North Naples location.

Q: How flexible is ownership if I want to use the residence seasonally and have options in the future?
A: Pelican Bay properties tend to hold long term appeal due to the beach club amenities and central location. Within Calais specifically, there are established rental policies for seasonal stays, which gives you optionality, though exact rules and minimums should always be confirmed with current association documents.

Smart Buyer Notes

Docs to review:
Start with the full property dossier and association information provided for 7008 Pelican Bay Blvd #304. That is where you will find video, floor plan and information about Calais and Pelican Bay from the associations 

Insurance considerations (general):
As a mid rise condo in Pelican Bay, you will typically have a master association policy that covers the structure and common elements, with an interior policy (HO-6) for your personal contents, interior finishes, and liability. A smart buyer will ask for:

• A copy of the owner's policy

• Clarification on what is covered by the association vs the owner

• Any recent or upcoming changes to deductibles or coverage requirements

Assessments and reserves:
Review the current Calais budget, reserve schedule, and any history of special assessments. Given the age of the building, it is important to see how the association is planning for long term items such as roofs, elevators, exterior painting, and concrete maintenance. Pair this with Pelican Bay Foundation updates so you have a full picture of upcoming projects.

Floor plan livability:
This particular residence has a split bedroom floor plan, which works very well for privacy and hosting. The open-concept main area means the view is shared from the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, so it lives like a larger residence without wasted hallways. For many buyers, this layout functions beautifully as a primary home, seasonal base, or long stay guest condo.

Hosting and guest flow:
Guests can arrive, come up via secure elevator, and head straight into their own bedroom and bath without crossing the main suite. The great room and lanai become the shared gathering spaces, with the golf course backdrop setting the tone. It is an easy, natural flow for cocktails before heading to dinner or for relaxed evenings after a beach day.
