Pelican Bay Rentals — Annual Leases and Seasonal Stays With Full Beach Club Privileges
Pelican Bay rentals come in two forms, twelve-month leases and furnished seasonal stays, and tenants on either live exactly as owners do: two private beach clubs reached by tram, the Community Center, and Waterside Shops and Artis–Naples minutes away. Pelican Bay condos, villas and homes for rent range from garden condominiums to Gulf-view tower residences, furnished or unfurnished, for relocating professionals, seasonal residents testing the market, and buyers waiting for the right home. Annual leases are the scarcer half of the Pelican Bay rental market: from September 2024 to September 2026, 34 were recorded in the MLS, at a median of $5,000 a month, against 76 seasonal leases.

Annual or Seasonal?
Most Pelican Bay rentals are seasonal: more than twice as many seasonal leases as annual ones were recorded over the past two years, at about twice the monthly rent. Annual leases suit relocating households and buyers taking their time; seasonal stays suit winter residents and buyers who want a season in the community first.

How Leasing Works in Pelican Bay
Every Pelican Bay association reviews and approves tenants before occupancy. Expect an application, background and credit review, and a fee, with approval typically taking two to four weeks — so begin your search at least 45 days before your target move-in. Each building also sets its own leasing rules: The Heron accepts only leases of twelve months or more, most towers allow one to three leases a year with a 90-day minimum, and St Nicole, St Raphael and Cap Ferrat allow 30-day terms; every tower’s rules are compared on our Pelican Bay seasonal rentals page. Beach club and Community Center privileges transfer to the tenant for the lease term through the Pelican Bay Foundation. We handle the application process for our clients from start to finish.
Pelican Bay Owners: Lease Your Residence With Confidence

Pelican Bay Annual Rentals — Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an annual rental cost in Pelican Bay?
From September 2024 to September 2026, 34 annual leases in Pelican Bay and Bay Colony were recorded at a median of $5,000 a month. Most garden and mid-rise condominiums leased for $3,250 to $4,500, tower residences for $5,000 to $8,500, villas and homes for $3,800 to $12,000, and Bay Colony residences for $12,500 and up. Current availability appears above.
What is the difference between annual and seasonal rentals in Pelican Bay?
An annual rental is a twelve-month lease, priced lower per month and offered furnished or unfurnished. A seasonal rental runs from 30 days to a full winter season, is fully furnished and is priced higher: seasonal leases over the same two years had a median of about $10,000 a month, twice the annual median. Each association sets its own minimum term and number of leases per year. Seasonal availability is on our Pelican Bay seasonal rentals page.
How many annual rentals are available in Pelican Bay?
Few at any one time. On September 29, 2026, 16 annual rentals were listed across Pelican Bay, most of them garden condos, and 34 annual leases were recorded over the previous two years, fewer than half the number of seasonal leases. Register your criteria with us and we will alert you, and approach owners, as residences come available.
Which Pelican Bay condos are for rent?
Most annual inventory is in the garden and mid-rise condominiums, such as Laurel Oaks, Pebble Creek, L’Ambiance and Avalon, which leased at about $3,250 to $4,500 a month over the past two years. Gulf-view towers such as St Nicole, St Marissa, St Kitts and Coronado lease annually at about $5,000 to $8,500 a month when a residence comes available, and The Heron rents only on twelve-month leases.
Which Pelican Bay buildings require annual leases?
The Heron requires a minimum lease of twelve months, so it rents only on annual terms. Most other towers allow one to three leases a year with a 90-day minimum, and St Nicole, St Raphael and Cap Ferrat allow up to three leases a year with 30-day minimums. Confirm current terms with the association before applying.
Do annual tenants get Pelican Bay beach access?
Yes. Beach club, tram and Community Center privileges transfer to the tenant for the term of an approved lease through the Pelican Bay Foundation. Tenants in Bay Colony buildings also receive Bay Colony Beach Club access where the association permits.
Are Pelican Bay annual rentals furnished?
Both are available. Furnished annual leases are common in condominiums owned by seasonal residents; unfurnished leases are more typical in villas and single family homes. Many owners are flexible, and we can often arrange either.
Can I have a pet in a Pelican Bay rental?
It depends on the association. Most villa communities and several towers allow one or two pets, often with size limits; some buildings prohibit pets for tenants even when owners may have them. We confirm the current policy before you apply.
How long does association approval take?
Typically two to four weeks after a complete application, which includes a background and credit check and an application fee. Plan to begin your search at least 45 days before your intended move-in date.
I own in Pelican Bay. Can Alpizar manage my annual rental?
Yes. Alpizar Property Management, LLC handles tenant placement, association applications, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections and renewals for Pelican Bay condominiums, villas and homes. Contact us for a complimentary rental analysis and management proposal.
