Hilton Head Plantation

Hilton Head Island, SC

Darle's Insight: Hilton Head Plantation is the largest community on the island. With that, there are many types of properties to choose from in various price ranges. Since no weekly rentals are permitted, it has become a community of primary residents and second homeowners with a cross section of ages. Because it is nearly built out, it is very desirable for someone who prefers an established neighborhood to pioneering in a new development. Bounded on one side by the intra-coastal and on another by Port Royal Sound, boating opportunities and outstanding views are available. Lots of golf, tennis, and much more. There is also a retirement community within the gates.
