Pelican Key, St. Maarten

Pelican Key is a hillside neighborhood rising above Simpson Bay, with villas and condos looking over the bay, the lagoon and the Caribbean Sea. Kim Sha Beach and the small Pelican Key Beach are at the foot of the hill, along with resort restaurants, a casino and a well-stocked provisioning store. It is quieter than the Simpson Bay strip while staying a short drive from it.

For sale with Andreu Realty on 7 October 2026: five properties. At the new Concord Residence, a studio at $340,000, a two-bedroom at $650,000 and a two-bedroom penthouse at $1,100,000, all with ocean views; and two ocean-view villas, Villa Del Mar with four bedrooms at $1,900,000 and Villa Oceane with five bedrooms and a separate apartment at $2,200,000. Three Pelican Key properties are shown as sold on our site.

Pelican Key is on the Dutch side, so a civil-law notary handles the sale and buyer closing costs come to about 5.5% of the price, including the 4% transfer tax. For the Concord units, which are sold before completion, ask for the construction schedule, the payment plan and how deposits are protected.

Pelican Key suits buyers who want a view and a quieter street while staying a few minutes from Simpson Bay, the beaches and the airport.

Buying in Pelican Key: what to check. Two kinds of purchase dominate here: new condos at Concord Residence and ocean-view villas on the hill. Concord Residence lists 2026 as its year of completion; on our listings the asking price works out at about $535 a square foot for the studio (635 sq ft), $542 for the two-bedroom (1,200 sq ft) and $580 for the two-bedroom penthouse (1,895 sq ft) (10 October 2026). The building lists a communal pool, a gym, a rooftop terrace, underground parking, a gated entrance and a 24-hour guard, but its association fee is not published yet: ask the developer for the estimated budget and the fee per unit in writing, with the completion date, the payment schedule and how deposits are held. The studio and the two-bedroom come semi-furnished and the penthouse fully furnished: ask for the list. Of the villas, Villa Del Mar (four bedrooms, built 2012) lists hurricane shutters, hurricane-impact windows, an electric gate and a rental program, and Villa Oceane on Zircon Road (five bedrooms, about 3,971 sq ft) a private pool, a gym and a spa. On a hillside, ask how the house gets water and power during an outage, and drive the road after rain. Both villas are sold fully furnished: attach the inventory to the purchase agreement. And get an insurance quote, including windstorm cover, before you sign.
