Today's open house at 400 Lambiance Cir #202 was pretty steady.  99% of the people coming through were working with a Realtor or have been looking at real estate in Pelican Bay for years.  I did meet a nice couple from Chicago land.  They had never seen Pelican Bay before and I enjoyed showing them the amenities that Pelican Bay has to offer.

Speaking of amenities.......yesterday my husband and I headed down to the Sandpiper Restaurant at the beach in Pelican Bay for a late lunch.  We just made it to the restaurant before they stopped serving.  It was a crystal clear day.

As we were eating our lunch, we spotted FOUR manatees out in the Gulf.  I wish I had a better camera with me than my cell phone. That would have made a great photo!

After lunch, the Gulf water was actually warm enough for us thin skinned Floridians to go in for a swim.  The photo below was taken with my cell phone but you can see how clear the water was yesterday.

As I sat in my open house today, my first question to all the people who came through was, "Are you familiar with Pelican Bay?"  Unless someone is familiar with all Pelican Bay has to offer, they may have a hard time justifying the prices of real estate.

Naples has many beautiful places to live.  If you are a "beach" person, you many want to consider the community of Pelican Bay.

Today, April 13th,  I will be holding an open house at 400 Lambiance CIR #202 in L'Ambiance in Pelican Bay.  This unit is a rarely available C-2 unit with marvelous lake and waterscape views from the grand salon and kitchen. The lovely unit has a great room floor plan that lends itself to carefree entertaining. Two sets of sliders off the grand salon lead to a spacious lanai with a Jenn Air grill.   There is 1967 sq. feet under air, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a 1 car attached garage.

If you owned this unit, you could be enjoying this view AND the beach at Pelican Bay!

The Naples area has FINALLY been receiving some rain.  After all the years I lived in Chicago, I never thought I'd be happy about a rainy day.  Even with this rain, we're still behind rain totals for last year.

Last night we had a lovely dinner at the Sandpiper with relatives of ours in from Colorado.  I have to say the Sandpiper was pretty busy for a Monday night in April.  Even though we did not see a spectacular sunset, the food was delicious and the company great.

It's now official!  The new Pelican Bay Foundation board members are Mike Coyne, Doug Esson and Robert Pendergrass.

According to an e-mail that was sent out to Foundation members by Gerhard Seliatnigg, there was a delay in the election results due to a discrepancy between the number of shares voted on three separate reports.  It was determined that the discrepancy was a presentation error not a tabulation error.  54% of the Foundation board members voted in this election.

I wish the best to our three new board members.
