Port Royal Plantation
Neighborhood in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Beaufort County 29926, 29928
Villas, single-family homes and oceanfront custom builds
A gated entrance with 24/7 security staff ensures that Port Royal Plantation’s single-family homes remain secure, even when homeowners are away. Most of the residences date back to the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s, but there are some New Traditional Victorians from the early- to mid-2000s. One-story prairie and ranch-style homes feature low-pitched roofs with defined horizontal lines. Full front porches invite residents into Cape Cod-style cottages while the New Traditional Craftsman homes offer paved pathways leading straight to the front door. Tall Carolina pines and sturdy live oaks form a natural wall around most homes. This creates a peaceful sense of seclusion while at the same time protects homes from flying golf balls. These listings begin around $900,000 for an older three bedroom and go up to $2.25 million for a five-bedroom built in 2022. Similar-style homes with oceanfront views and private beach access fall within the $3 million to $5 million range. Port Royal Village has condo-style villas and two-story townhomes for $450,00 to $725,000.Port Royal Plaza is just across the highway
After a morning on the golf course, Club members stop by Robber's Row Grille to eat fresh tacos under the shade of a veranda. Port Royal Plaza is packed with all types of restaurants right across the highway. There’s classic American bar food at Street Meet, specialty pasta at Bella Italia Pizza and made-to-order hibachi at OKKO Japanese. Residents regularly stop by Plantation Café & Deli to order their signature crab cake eggs benedict. About 5 miles down the road, Shelter Cove Towne Center has clothing boutiques, more independent restaurants and the local Kroger, too.Meet up for tennis practice at The Port Royal Golf and Racquet Club
Though anyone can become members of The Port Royal Golf and Racquet Club, one of the two 18-hole golf courses is reserved every morning for member-residents only. Locals meet up for regular practices at the clay tennis and pickleball courts just outside the central clubhouse. A fenced-in community garden with 78 individual plots rests along the inland marshes. In 2020, neighborhood residents came together to fund a community Beach House located right on the oceanfront. It features an Olympic-sized pool, a small playground and a private boardwalk leading down to the beach.Take William Hilton Parkway to Coligny Beach
Coggins Point Road cuts through the center of Port Royal Plantation and connects to US Highway 278 just past the gates. Locally known as William Hilton Parkway, Highway 278 links to the central oceanfront in fewer than 10 miles. Residents can follow the road about 10 miles northwest to reach the mainland. Hilton Head Hospital and the Hilton Head Island Airport sit fewer than 5 miles away from the neighborhood. The airport “is bigger than a commuter airport, but it’s mostly smaller planes so there’s not a lot of noise,” says Christopher Skrip, a local broker and co-owner of RE/MAX Dream.Annual POA dues cover community amenities
As of 2024, Port Royal Plantation’s annual POA dues totaled around $3,800. “When you’re paying that fee, you’re paying for the 24/7 security gate, the pool area, the gorgeous restaurant and all those kinds of amenities,” Skrip says. The golf course is open to the public for membership, “so that’s why your annual fees aren’t as high here.”Some of the best schools in Beaufort County are 5 miles away
Port Royal Plantation is only 5 miles away from some of the best schools in Beaufort County. Hilton Head Island Early Childhood Center offers a preschool through kindergarten program that scores a B on Niche. Hilton Head Island Elementary earns a B-plus, while Hilton Head Island Middle receives a solid B. Hilton Head Island High School gets an A-minus and offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.High risk of flooding and wind damage
Port Royal Plantation sits at the northeast point of Hilton Head Island, where the Port Royal Sound meets the Atlantic Ocean. This makes the community especially vulnerable during hurricanes and other large storms. According to Risk Factor, Port Royal Plantation is at extreme risk of flooding and wind damage. The neighborhood’s email blast system alerts residents of any potential storm threat and provides evacuation route details.
