Hilton Head Plantation sits on about 4,000 acres, making it one of Hilton Head's larger planned communities, and you'll find gated neighborhoods with houses in different settings-there's waterfront homes, villas, single-family houses with golf, lagoon, or wooded views, and homes that look out to Port Royal Sound, golf courses, lakes, marsh, or woods, and people stay in hotels, motels, villas, and resorts in the area too. The neighborhoods connect to each other and to amenities with biking and jogging trails, about six miles in all, and you'll see two miles of sandy beach along Port Royal Sound plus parks like Dolphin Head Recreation Area and Spring Lake Pavilion. There's a big community pool, bocce and shuffleboard, gardening, and playgrounds, and you'll often see folks at the tennis center and clubhouses, and there are twelve Har-Tru tennis courts and lots of pickleball courts as well.
When people want to be social, they can join activity clubs or take part in festivals and live music like the Gregg Russell Summer Concerts or Sunset Celebrations, or join in civic, social, and fraternal events, and in summer, there's a Kids Kamp Program for school-age children. The social life often involves stop-offs at Plantation House or Old Fort Pub for a meal, plus nearby restaurants cover a wide range-Southern, soul food, Sichuan, Vietnamese, hamburger, pizza, buffets, and western food-so choices are plentiful, and you'll see both casual places and fine dining.
Shopping's nearby, and there are all sorts of places to get coffee or tea, from cupcake bakeries to ice cream shops, bubble tea spots, tea rooms, cafes, and coffeehouses. Whenever people need to travel, the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport and Hilton Head Regional Airport aren't too far away, making trips in and out of the area easier.
For recreation and staying active, there are four championship golf courses-Dolphin Head Golf Club, Bear Creek Golf Club, Oyster Reef Golf Club, and the Country Club of Hilton Head-and a big marina on the Intracoastal Waterway, called Skull Creek Marina, with docks for boats up to 200 feet, a boatyard, fuel service, and slips for rent or purchase, and there's fishing there too. Two nature conservancies in the community mean plenty of wildlife and walking in preserved areas, and you'll see people on guided tours, hiking trails, and biking, or even horseback riding if they want.
People who live in Hilton Head Plantation often join different clubs, use fitness centers, or take part in art and cultural events in rooms set aside for those activities, and there're resort-style features like spas and salons, wellness rooms, a movie theater, game and activity rooms, plus outdoor spaces for gardening, walking, or sitting. Community services include housekeeping, laundry, meal planning, and a concierge, also support for moves and families.
Security's a big deal here, with 24-hour gate access, security patrols, and a call system connecting people to help fast if needed, and homes and common areas are wheelchair accessible, have air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and furnished options if needed. The community's designed for many lifestyles-you'll find 55+ neighborhoods, places for active adults, boating, tennis, pickleball, golf, fitness, and lake homes, even mountain and equestrian sections, and it all runs as a membership community that started in 2010.
People needing more support can get help with medication, bathing, dressing, and moving around, so the care is there if folks need it, including for non-ambulatory residents, and everything from daily activities to fitness classes, library time, arts, gardening, and swimming gets scheduled or suggested, sometimes run by residents, sometimes by staff. There's a dining room, all-day dining, and meal options for allergies and special diets, and places serve everything from snacks and coffee up to full-service restaurant meals, whether at Plantation House or one of the big-name spots around the area.
Hilton Head Plantation blends private, scenic neighborhoods, a full slate of clubs and events, beaches, marinas, and sports facilities, with a focus on convenience, safety, and choices for every kind of lifestyle, and you'll see folks out walking, biking, or just relaxing pretty much every day, with the community's gates and security always keeping an eye on things.
