Life along the links

Beau Rivage lays along the gentle greens of Beau Rivage Golf & Resort. The 18-hole public fairway is the backyard for the neighborhood’s patio homes, where golf carts drive on and off the course. The links connect two subdivisions: Willow Glen Estates at Beau Rivage Plantation and Beau Rivage Plantation. HOAs oversee both gated enclaves, monitoring things like road maintenance and streetlights. “There isn’t any through traffic,” says John Theodorakis, Broker/Realtor with Intracoastal Realty Corporation, who lives in Beau Rivage Plantation. “Most people have golf carts, and I can easily drive mine to my friends’ houses in Willow Glenn without having to get on a public road," he says. "If you want to drive a car or an actual vehicle though, you’ll have to leave the neighborhood.” Outside the gated greens, the community offers proximity to Carolina Beach, a top-rated school system and a short drive to Wilmington – without the city taxes.

Connected by a golf course: Willow Glen and Beau Rivage Plantation

Under oak trees and Spanish moss, The Beau Rivage Plantation and Willow Glen subdivisions are connected by a golf course, not roads. Both communities are gated; the latter is fully closed-off, while the former has one public entrance for those looking to access the fairway. To accommodate the greens, many streets feature uniform lots and home layouts. The Beau Rivage Plantation subdivision was first built in the 1980s, while Willow Glen began construction in the early 2000s and development continued into the late 2010s. Both communities offer New Traditional homes; some are brick, while others have siding and Craftsman-style architectural influences. Properties include hardwood floors, crown molding and stainless-steel appliances. Single-story houses in either community typically cost between $300,000 and $435,000 and usually occupy 1,100 to 1,900 square feet. Two-story homes with bigger yards and a pool or fire pit in the back may range in price from $550,000 to $865,000 and can sit on over 3,000 square feet. Brick Colonial-style townhouses are also available, typically costing about $300,000, while condo units will run potential buyers $190,000 to $235,000.

Beau Rivage Golf Course and River Road Park

The 18-hole Beau Rivage Golf Course sits amid long-needle pine forests and meanders behind homes. It’s privately owned and, other than aesthetics, doesn’t have any real association with the neighborhood. “A lot of folks are members of the club, but being a homeowner doesn’t automatically make you a member,” Theodorakis says. If they choose to join, residents pay an annual fee, allowing them to access to fairways year-round, and can relax at the Pavilion, the club’s recreational facility. Leagues and lessons are available at the six pickleball and two tennis courts, while the Cabana Bar serves cocktails for members to sip by the Olympic-sized swimming pool. The indoor ballroom is rented out for events, from baby showers to corporate meetings. While Beau Rivage is also a resort, with overnight suites near the fairway, Theodorakis says, “It’s not really affected by tourists.” That's because the resort only has 28 rooms, which are often stayed in by businesspeople rather than vacationers. Those who live in the Willow Glen subdivision earn access to the Willow Glen Community Center via their HOA fees. It also has an event space and a pool where many neighborhood festivities occur, from cocktail tastings to a pumpkin carving contest. The closest outdoor space to the neighborhood is River Road Park. It sits amid coastal brush on the shores of the Cape Fear River. A fishing pier leads out to the water, where many visitors cast their line while children with sandy feet run around the playground behind them.

Shopping and Dining

Shopping and dining options sit along Carolina Beach Road. Locals can get groceries from Harris Teeter or eat out at one of the various restaurants in the same shopping center, from Eggs Up Grill for breakfast to Ida Thai Cuisine for dinner. Nearby Fish Bites Seafood is both a restaurant and a fish market, serving and selling fresh fish and shellfish from its laid-back coastal interior, where lobster eaters wear bibs. To dine on the water, Carolina Beach and its boardwalk are about 6 miles south of Beau Rivage, and offer numerous shore-side restaurants, like Hurricane Alley’s, where visitors can eat comfort food on the outdoor deck, shaded by grass umbrellas. For dessert, there’s Latella Gelato, a Carolina Beach mainstay that serves a variety of rotating flavors.

What’s happening in Beau Rivage

In the Willow Glen subdivision, the clubhouse hosts events throughout the year. Families run before Thanksgiving dinner at the Turkey Trot, kids get sticky fingers at poolside ice cream socials and neighbors perfect their recipes and athletic abilities before the Cornhole Competition and Chili Cookoff. Theodorakis explains that in Beau Rivage Plantation, the golf club doesn’t officially operate as a neighborhood gathering place in the same way because it's not formally affiliated with the neighborhood. However, he notes, “The owners of the country club live in the neighborhood and will open the pool for a big Fourth of July pool party and other things of that nature,” he says. “Beau Rivage [the neighborhood] does multiple golf cart parades whether it be the Fourth of July or Christmas. At Halloween, there's trunk or treat.”
