What Is The Colony at Pelican Landing?
A private, gated enclave built inside the larger Pelican Landing community in Bonita Springs, at 23505 Tuscany Way. Bay water, golf, gated.
The double name is the whole point of it. The Colony is the specific neighbourhood; Pelican Landing is the larger community it sits within.
I am Kris Asquith, Broker Associate at Premiere Plus Realty, and Bonita Springs is one of the nine Southwest Florida markets I work.
Is The Colony the Same Community as Pelican Landing?
Related, not identical, and the two get treated as interchangeable because they appear side by side in listings.
Pelican Landing is the master level. Its association sets the baseline rules that apply across the whole property, and most of what people picture when they hear the name, the gatehouse and the golf and the overall footprint, belongs to that level.
The Colony is a section carved out inside it, separately gated, with its own identity and its own architectural standards. Buying here means buying into a community that sits inside another community.
What Does Two Layers of Association Actually Mean?
In practice, two gates and two sets of documents, and it is the fees that make it matter.
There is a master association and an enclave association, and they are not the same bill. What each covers, what each maintains and who governs what are separate questions with separate answers, and a summary of "the HOA fee" for this address is almost always incomplete.
None of this is complicated once somebody lays it out. It is simply that almost nobody lays it out before a buyer is already touring homes.
What Kind of Water Is It?
Bay, the same as the community around it. That puts The Colony with Bonita Bay and Saltleaf rather than with the inland lake communities like The Brooks.
What any single home has by way of dockage and route out is an address question rather than a community one, and worth confirming for the specific property. See waterfront homes in Bonita Springs and boating homes.
How Does It Compare With the Rest of Bonita Springs?
It is the most structurally unusual address in this market, and that is its character rather than a complication to be talked around. An enclave inside a master community buys a smaller, more defined neighbourhood without giving up the scale of the amenity around it.
Against Bonita Bay, it is the smaller world inside the bigger one. Against Shadow Wood Country Club, it is bay rather than lake. For the market as a whole see Bonita Springs real estate and gated communities in Bonita Springs.
How I Would Approach It With You
By getting both layers on paper before we talk about any particular house.
What I would establish with you: both associations' fees and what each covers, which amenities belong to the master community and which belong to The Colony, how club and golf membership work and whether either has a waiting list, and the rental rules in writing at both levels if letting the property is part of your plan.
The step-by-step buying process shows where those checks fall. Get in touch or call (239) 300-1427.
