Pelican Landing Vacation Rentals

Bordering Estero Bay, Spring Creek, and an aquatic preserve that leads to the Gulf of Mexico, Pelican Landing, Florida, is 2,365 acres of maintained shrubs and flora - live oaks, cypress trees, wild palmettos, slash pines, and Florida's state tree, the sabal palm, all filling the roaming eye.
Pelican Landing is within Bonita Springs, a developing resort and beach town with many vacation rentals. Calusa Indians lived for centuries in the Southwestern Florida area. They would travel to Bonita Springs, where they believed the waters at Surveyer's Creek healed. In the 17th century Ponce de Leon and later explorers wiped out the Calusa.
Only mounds of shells and painted pottery are stark remnants of their once home. Bonita Springs, like much of Florida, was ignored, as Americans headed west. Pelican Landing got its start in 1985 with the creation of Pelican's Nest Golf Club's eighteen hole golf course. The major national corporation, WCI Communities, purchased, developed, and expanded the property, now called Pelican Landing.
