4BR/4BA Private Island Retreat/Country Club - 25 mins from HHI - Golf Included

Welcome to our four-bedroom, four-bath waterfront villa, nestled within the private, gated sanctuary of Callawassie Island, an expansive 900-acre nature reserve designed for those who relish perfect weather, championship golf, five-star dining, and white glove concierge services.

Each bedroom in the 1,700 sq ft villa has an en-suite bathroom.

Located minutes away from pristine beaches, exceptional shopping destinations, and historic landmarks, the villa provides a comfortable base for exploration. Discover the idyllic Hilton Head Island Beaches, Beaufort's historic charm, the cultural richness of Savannah, and the timeless allure of Charleston—all within easy reach.

Guests enjoy full access to the Callawassie Island Club, including our three exceptional 9-hole golf courses, meticulously designed by renowned architect Tom Fazio. Two of these courses have recently undergone a $4-million renovation.

Your stay includes ONE ROUND (18 holes) of golf PER DAY FOR TWO ADULTS, including cart hire, throughout your entire visit (excluding Mondays, reserved for maintenance). Additional guests can play for a nominal fee of $85 per round. Club rental is available through the pro shop.

The Callawassie Island Club offers a collection of world-class amenities including heated swimming pools (one overlooking the Colleton River), six Har-Tru tennis courts, newly constructed pickleball courts, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a full-service day spa (offering deep tissue, Swedish, therapeutic stretch, and medical massages, as well as a variety of facial options and detox therapies). There's also a thoughtfully crafted poolside playground for the kids. From our community docks, you can go fishing, shrimping, crabbing, kayaking, and paddleboarding. Should you desire to explore the island's charm, free bicycles are at your disposal.

*** Canine Companions Welcome ***

We warmly welcome well-behaved dogs (under 50 lbs). You may bring up to two dogs to the villa, ensuring that no member of your family is left behind. To maintain an environment of utmost comfort and cleanliness, we kindly request that dogs refrain from accessing the furniture or beds. In rare cases where excessive shedding occurs, an additional fee of $100 per dog may be assessed. We also welcome larger, well-behaved dogs. To ensure the safety and well-being of your beloved pets, we kindly ask that you keep them on a hand-held leash when outside the villa, maintaining a distance of at least 50 feet from all lagoons and ponds. Be careful of our sticks and branches, as some may harbor thorns or other hazards.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE 2024 COURSE AERATION SCHEDULE when planning your stay. Aeration will occur as follows:

* July 8-12: All 18-holes will be closed for aeration (Palmetto closed for renovation April 1 – Oct 31);

* July 15-19: 9-holes only open per day (rough aeration);

* July 20th: 18-holes back open for play.

Following aeration, the greens will have sand for an additional week. Despite these measures, the courses remain highly enjoyable throughout the season.

Smoking is permitted on the screened-in porch and outside the house. Please do not smoke inside the villa.

FYI Callawassie Island observes quiet time from 8pm to 8am daily. Please maintain noise levels at a considerate level so as not to disturb our full-time island residents.

Disclaimer: the villa is not available for events, commercial activities, or any form of large gatherings, including weddings, bachelor/bachelorette parties, graduation celebrations, and other events.

Destination Thanksgiving
Since our oldest of 4 started college, we began doing desination Thanksgivings where we would all meet in a new city/state to be together. We love the Charleston area and decided to venture just outside. Okatie did not disappoiont with it's proximity to Bluffton and Hilton Head. Home was perfect for us to celebrate the holiday. We enjoyed the golf and pickleball amenities as well as the onsite restaurant when we did not feel like cooking the day after Thanksgiving. The kitchen was a bit tight for such a large meal prep but nonetheless we had a great time.

An amazing family vacation in an amazing location!!
The villa was great and provided our family plenty of room and access to amazing amenities on Callawassie Island! The villa had everything you would need, full kitchen amenities, towels and linens made vacation prepping easy. Two pools, pickle ball, tennis, kayaking, and an amazing golf course! We were close to numerous parts of the low country, Parris Island, Beaufort and Hilton Head. Simply put…you can’t go wrong staying here for vacation!!

Nice Property in a Private Golf Community
The property is a villa with another unit attached on the side. It is very quiet. The villa has been partially renovated. There are new floors throughout. The bathrooms are partially remodeled. The master bath has a very old vanity with no drawers. It should have been replaced when the floors were replaced. The view from the house is over a pond and is gorgeous. The kitchen is adequately stocked. The beds are comfortable. Callawassee is absolutely beautiful with an abundance of wildlife, including gators. The three nine hole courses are wonderfully maintained and medium difficulty. There are two clubhouses and two pools. There is a lack of restaurant options on the island (one club open for lunch and one for dinner and both closed a couple of days a week) and off island options are 20 minutes away. All of the residents are extremely friendly and many are renters or part -time residents.

Fantastic Location & Beautiful Spot
This place was perfect for a weekend getaway with friends. We played golf a couple of days (not on the local course) and wished we'd played on the local course also. The house was perfect size, had everything and was a great location - calm, quiet and relaxed. The little pond out back was a wonderful place to sit in the screened porch and just listen to the wildlife. Couldn't ask for a better place!

A wonderful stay…
I cannot say enough about the owners and their beautiful home. The check in had a small goof-up that was not related to the owners; security would not let us on the island because they had misplaced the visitors list…but the owners were quick to assist in getting it corrected. The home was beautiful and well appointed and well the scenery and wildlife….amazing!! The remodel that is occurring is only making it even more lovely. I cannot say enough about how wonderful our trip was because of this home and the great owners. Definitely coming back…

Low Country Treat
Perfect house for family of four (parents and adult children). The house is bright and airy and the view out of the back onto a lagoon (including an alligator) was beautiful. The kitchen is a little small but fine for four people. We were going to host Christmas for nine and decided to move that to an Aunt's house instead. We did not get a chance to golf but we did a lot of walking and exploring the island. We ate at the golf club grill which was excellent and had super friendly people working there.

Great house and location
We stayed in this property before the current owners were in place. While it was pretty good before, they have made nice upgrades to the linens, new and added TV's and some kitchen items. This is super convenient to the club house area (restaurants, golf, tennis, pool and now pickleball). Brad was very responsive and proactive in prepping us for our trip. Very accommodating and professional to deal with. Having two guests as "members" with golf included is an excellent value!
