Some Pelican Bay addresses are all about the skyline. San Marino is for the buyer who wants the opposite: a relaxed, low-rise, villa-style rhythm where you can lock up, head to the beach, and be back home in minutes without ever feeling like you live in a crowded tower. It’s polished, practical, and quietly charming, the kind of neighborhood that fits real life beautifully.

Big-Picture Appeal

• Low-rise coach home community with a residential, neighborhood feel (not a high-rise vibe). 

• Built in the early 1990s and widely referenced as 1991. 

• Approximately 81 residences across two floors, so it feels intimate and easy. 

• Generous interior sizes around 1,600 to 2,100+ square feet

• Private neighborhood amenities plus the bigger Pelican Bay lifestyle, including beach transportation and beachfront dining. 

The Lifestyle Story

What living in San Marino feels like

San Marino is the kind of place where your day starts with a calm coffee on a screened lanai, then turns into a beach day without a complicated production. It’s a “drive in, exhale instantly” address. You get the Pelican Bay prestige, but with a more grounded, home-like feel.

Neighborhood amenities

Owners enjoy a community pool and spa, plus a clubhouse-style social and fitness space, the kind of setup that gets used because it’s right there and low-maintenance. 

Pelican Bay’s beach access advantage

One of the most loved parts of Pelican Bay is how effortlessly you can get to the sand. Pelican Bay’s private tram system is a signature feature, and San Marino is often described as conveniently positioned for quick beach access via tram routes. 

Who San Marino is Perfect For

• Second-home owners who want low friction ownership and a true lock-and-leave feel.

• Buyers who love Pelican Bay but prefer a quieter, low-rise neighborhood instead of an elevator tower. 

• Active lifestyle people who want beach days, walks, and tennis culture within Pelican Bay’s broader ecosystem.

• Pet lovers who need flexibility compared to stricter condo buildings. 

Smart Buyer Notes

• Confirm the exact floor plan and square footage because San Marino has multiple layouts

• Leasing rules are once per year with a minimum stay, but the minimum term can be reported differently across sources. Always verify in the condo documents before you plan seasonal rental income. 

• Pet policies are favorable by Pelican Bay standards, allowing two pets under a weight limit

• Coach home living means a different ownership feel than a tower: fewer shared hallways, a more residential mood, and an easier “home” sensation.
