A classic 1980s tower on the quiet south end, with Gulf and Clam Bay views from the lowest residential floors.
Stratford at Pelican Bay is a 20-story tower of about 80 residences at 5601 Turtle Bay Drive, completed in 1984 on the south end of Pelican Bay off Crayton Road. Because parking sits beneath the building, residences begin on the third level, so Gulf views start lower here than in most off-beach towers. From September 2024 to September 2026, ten residences sold here for $605,000 to $2.85 million, at a median of $1.25 million.

Residences at Stratford
Stratford was one of the first towers built in Pelican Bay, and its plans reflect an era of generous rooms. Two-bedroom residences start at about 1,733 square feet, three-bedroom plans with a den reach about 3,040 square feet, and the penthouse levels run larger still, to roughly 4,375 square feet with four bedrooms. With parking tucked beneath the building, even the lowest residential floors look over Outer Clam Bay and the preserve to the Gulf, and the views widen with every level. Many residences have been renovated, some with enclosed lanais that add air-conditioned space. Floor plans are available on request.
The Tower and Life in Pelican Bay
Stratford sits on the quiet south end of Pelican Bay, a short ride to the south tram station and the community’s private beach facilities, and minutes from Waterside Shops and Artis–Naples. At home, residents have a heated pool and spa, a fitness room, tennis and pickleball courts and a social room. Stratford does not permit pets, which appeals to buyers who want a quieter building. Compare Stratford with its neighbors in our guides to Pelican Bay condominiums and Pelican Bay Gulf-view condos.
Renting at Stratford
Stratford allows one lease a year with a 90-day minimum, and few residences come up for rent. Over the last two seasons, two-bedroom residences were offered at about $10,000 to $12,000 a month in season, with off-season rates of $6,000 to $8,000, and one was offered at a monthly rate of $7,000. A two-bedroom residence of 2,000 square feet leased twice at $12,000 a month for the season. The no-pet rule applies to tenants as well as owners. Alpizar Property Management places seasonal tenants of 30 days or more and high-end annual tenants for Pelican Bay owners; see our guide to seasonal rental management.
Florida’s Condo Safety Law
Completed in 1984, Stratford falls under Florida’s condominium safety law: a milestone structural inspection at 30 years (25 where the local building official requires it) and every 10 years after, and a structural integrity reserve study every 10 years, the first of which was due by December 31, 2025. Stratford is well past the 30-year mark, so it is on the 10-year re-inspection cycle; ask the association for the latest milestone inspection report, the reserve study and any planned special assessments before you make an offer. Resale buyers also have seven days after receiving the condominium documents to cancel the contract.
