A premiere planned community that revolutionized the modern American resort, Sea Pines is not only famous for its excellent resort amenities such as world-class golf courses and tennis courts, but also manages to deliver an incredible vacation resort while preserving the surrounding ecology. The oceanfront rentals face the beach and facilitate private beach walks, but condominiums and Sea Pine villas are also an excellent option for people who want to get a lower price but have similar proximity to the beach. 

The Sea Pines resort spans about 5,000 oceanfront acres and occupies a third of the Island, with  approximately 1,300 acres devoted to parks, forests, and other natural beauties. The resort features five miles of pristine beaches, twenty miles of bike trails, and natural paths, and the area is home to two airports. Award-winning golf courses such as Harbor Town Clubhouse and Heron Point are located here along with the Sea Pines Racquet Club, one of the best tennis facilities in the country. In order to maintain the balance between residents and the surrounding environment, the area features beach walks, hayrides, kayak expeditions, bike tours, and much more.
