A gated coastal community with a 15-acre yacht basin
Windmill Harbour's luxury townhomes and million-dollar estates center around the largest inland marina on Hilton Head Island. Lined with 70-foot yachts and 30-foot sailboats, the 15-acre yacht basin is well-protected by one of the East Coast's only three harbor lock systems. "It's obviously a great place if you love yachts and boating, but you don't have to own one to live in Windmill Harbour," Maria Skrip says. Local broker and co-owner of RE/MAX Dream, Skrip, says, "It's home to the South Carolina Yacht Club; let's just say you're not a boater, that's okay, you can just utilize the pool and clubhouse." "They actually have a pretty good mix of people there," Skrip adds. "You have some younger single people, families with young kids and some retirees."
The Windmill Harbour neighborhood sits Jenkins Island adjacent to Hilton Head Island.
The Windmill Harbour neighborhood only has 428 resdences.

Townhomes are "the size of houses"
Driving through the gates, "you're going to first hit a stop sign and either go right or left," Skrip says. "If you go right, that'll take you to the yacht club and all the amenities," and "If you take a left, you're winding around the harbor and out towards the lock system." Tree-canopied streets wind around the neighborhood, showcasing an array of grand homes, most of which feature Charlestonian-style architecture. There are pastel-colored villas, waterfront single-family homes and townhomes "the size of houses," Skrip says. "I mean, basically, the townhomes are 3 stories tall with stucco exteriors; most even have elevators." These go for around $1 million to $2 million. "The villas or little condos are right where the yacht club is," she says. They can range from $425,000 to $650,000. The single-family homes "have all been custom built," she adds, "so you get a variety of styles." There are contemporary farmhouses, craftsman-style bungalows and cape cods, too. The homes further inland typically range between $700,000 to $900,000, while the waterfront estates can list over $2.5 million.
Many of Windmill Harbour's larger homes are located along the Intracoastal Waterway.
