Pelican Bay is a master-planned neighborhood that has set the standard for luxury living in Naples for over four decades. Spanning 2,170 acres along the Gulf of Mexico, this gated neighborhood offers residents access to three miles of private beach, two beachfront restaurants, and impeccably maintained common areas. XL Homes of SWFL understands the unique building requirements within Pelican Bay and works closely with the neighborhood's architectural review process to deliver custom homes and renovations that meet the neighborhood's exacting standards while reflecting each homeowner's personal vision.
Pelican Bay is one of the largest and most established luxury neighborhoods in Naples, featuring a mix of single-family homes, villas, and high-rise condominiums across its expansive footprint. The neighborhood was developed by WCI Communities beginning in 1977 and has evolved into one of Southwest Florida's most sought-after addresses. Single-family homes within Pelican Bay range from approximately 2,500 to over 6,000 square feet, situated in distinct sub-neighborhoods including Bay Colony, Barrington, and Cap Ferrat. The neighborhood is managed by the Pelican Bay Foundation, which oversees the private tram system connecting residents to the beach, the beach pavilions, and the extensive network of walking and biking paths that wind through mangrove preserves and native landscaping.
Construction within Pelican Bay requires approval from the neighborhood's Architectural Review Board, which evaluates all exterior modifications including new construction, renovations, and landscaping changes. The ARB maintains detailed guidelines covering roof styles, exterior colors, materials, and landscaping requirements. Pelican Bay has specific noise ordinances and construction hour restrictions that must be factored into project timelines. Properties closer to the mangrove preserves may have additional environmental setback requirements. XL Homes navigates these requirements regularly and maintains excellent relationships with the Pelican Bay Foundation and ARB, ensuring smooth project approvals and compliance throughout construction.
Within Pelican Bay, XL Homes provides custom home construction for available lots, comprehensive whole-home renovations, kitchen and bathroom transformations, outdoor living expansions, and structural modifications. We specialize in modernizing older Pelican Bay homes with contemporary finishes, impact-rated windows, and energy-efficient systems while maintaining the architectural character the neighborhood is known for.
