7008 Pelican Bay Blvd #502 Calais, Naples FL

Lifestyle Vignette

You arrive in Calais at Pelican Bay under the palms, slip into under-building parking, and the day instantly gets quieter.

Upstairs, the top-floor ceiling height changes everything. Light lifts, the rooms breathe, and the whole residence feels bigger than you expected.

The lanai becomes the anchor, Gulf air, a wide horizon, and that soft shimmer that makes Pelican Bay feel like a true retreat.
Morning is coffee with a view and a quick walk or tram ride to the beach club.

Midday is tennis, pickleball, or a peaceful bike ride under the canopy of paths.

Evenings are simple in the best way, a sunset glow, dinner plans at Waterside or Artis, then back home to that lanai.

Big-Picture Appeal

• Top-floor volume matters. 11-foot ceilings create that penthouse-style feeling buyers chase.

What it feels like day to day

Mornings: Light pours in early, lanai doors open, and you start the day with the Gulf as your backdrop. Beach club plans feel effortless.
Afternoons: This is where Pelican Bay shines. Tram to the beach, a workout, tennis, pickleball or a long walk on shaded paths, then lunch at Waterside.
Evenings: The residence settles into calm. Sunset colors off the lanai, then dinner at Artis Naples or nearby favorites, and home again to quiet.

Buyer Decision Framework 

Privacy vs proximity:
Calais gives you a tucked-away, residential feel while staying close to Waterside Shops, Artis Naples, Mercato, and daily conveniences.

Golf-course view vs waterfront view:
Golf views can be beautiful, but a Gulf view is pure Naples. It’s the one thing you cannot renovate into existence.

Guest suite strategy:
Think about how you host. Do you want guests in their own zone with privacy, or a more social layout for weekends and holidays? (We’ll walk you through the floor plan flow in person.)

Renovated now vs renovate later:
This residence is very usable today. The smart buyer move is enjoying it now, then updating on your timeline, not a contractor’s.

Seasonal living considerations:
Furnished, low-maintenance, and easy to lock and leave. Under-building parking and Pelican Bay’s lifestyle infrastructure make seasonal living feel seamless.

Questions buyers always ask (Q&A)

Is this considered a penthouse?
It’s a top-floor, penthouse-style residence, and the 11-foot ceilings deliver that elevated feeling buyers associate with penthouse living.

Can I live here comfortably without renovating right away?
Yes. It’s livable now, and you can choose if and when you want to update.

Is Calais pet friendly?
Calais is small-pet friendly, which is a real advantage in this market.

What kind of parking does it have?
Under-building parking, which matters for convenience and weather protection.

What’s special about this location within Pelican Bay?
You’re in the heart of the lifestyle, close to the beach system and the best daily amenities, without feeling like you’re in the middle of tourist traffic.

Smart Buyer Notes

Property Details: LinkTr.ee

Insurance considerations (general):
Condo ownership shifts much of the exterior building coverage to the association, but buyers should still confirm their interior coverage needs, deductible structure, and what the association policy covers.

Assessments and reserves:
Calais has completed the required structural and reserve planning. A smart buyer will confirm what projects have been completed, what’s in motion, and how reserves are being funded going forward. We will walk you through the key points in plain English.

Floor plan livability:
The real value here is how it lives. Ceiling height, light, and lanai connection make it feel more expansive than the numbers suggest.

Hosting and guest flow:
If you host often, we’ll map the “arrival to lanai” flow and guest privacy in a way that matches your lifestyle.
