Port Royal Plantation’s three 18-hole golf courses, two championship croquet courts, a 16-court racquet club, an oceanfront beach club with swimming and an indoor entertaining/dining facility, a magnificent ante-bellum Clubhouse, a completely private security gate and 24-hour full area coverage security, this 1,800-acre plantation is the epitome of natural beauty and tranquility.


 

The shape of Hilton Head Island is much like that of a high-top basketball shoe. Often, when Islanders are explaining a location in broad terms, we might say it is in or near the “toe” or the “arch”, etc. In those terms, then, Port Royal Plantation would be in the “heel”. This enviably located plantation has over 1,200 acres with 2,100 homes, most with oversized lots. Captain William Hilton arrived on the sandy shores of Port Royal, later home to Confederate troops who were stationed at Fort Walker until the Union troops invaded.
With easy access to schools, medical facilities, the public library, restaurants, grocery stores and a multitude of shopping, Port Royal’s amenities abound. Inside the plantation are three championship golf courses, as well as the Port Royal Racquet Club, and 16 tennis courts. 
Port Royal homes are beautifully scattered among the live oaks and palmettos. From sprawling estates to luxury villas, marsh side homes, golf course views or oceanfront dreams, Port Royal has it all. The residential area of the plantation is separate and distinct from the hotel, villa and vacation rental area.
Real estate sales in this family-oriented plantation are strong, though short sales and foreclosures have hit the market. Call me for more information and details.

It is the only private Oceanside planned residential community on Hilton Head, designed solely for residents and their guests’ enjoyment.

With miles of bicycling and jogging leisure paths, several outdoor pools, a heated indoor pool and a private beach pavilion, Port Royal’s secluded shores are prime mid-island real estate on Hilton Head Island. This plantation’s pristine beaches, three championship golf courses and the award-winning tennis complex of the Port Royal Racquet Club--with 16 tennis courts--make it the ideal resort for both beach rentals and a place to call home on Hilton Head.

History buffs might be interested in the fact, also, that the bluffs of Port Royal Plantation were first sighted by Spanish Captain Pedro de Quexos in 1521, and claimed later by English Captain William Hilton in 1663. Hence, the name of our island.

The present Port Royal Plantation was occupied by Confederate forces at the start of the Civil War, but were defeated in the Battle of Port Royal in 1861, whereupon 13,000 Union troops took control of Hilton Head Island. Historical markers at Fort Walker Park, the Beach House and the Steam Gun describe events that took place here and in the surrounding waters.
