Sea Island Real Estate
Georgia's Most Private Address
Sea Island sits just across the causeway from St. Simons, a private barrier island of quiet lanes, manicured grounds and five miles of Atlantic beach. Life here revolves around The Cloister, the Beach Club and three celebrated golf courses — and homes rarely stay available for long.
Whether you are looking at an oceanfront residence, a fairway home near Ocean Forest, or a classic island cottage, I can walk you through what is available, how club membership works with a purchase, and what ownership on the island really looks like day to day.

Sea Island Club offers Full and Beach & Sports memberships that require the purchase of qualified real estate, alongside Invitational and Junior categories that do not. Some residences, such as The Cloister Ocean Residences, include year-round Club membership with the property. Membership terms change, so I confirm the current requirements with the Club for every property before you write an offer. Call me at (912) 577-3796 and I'll get you the specifics.
What Makes Sea Island Special
The Cloister
Sea Island's landmark resort and social heart, set at the southern end of the island beside the Black Banks River, with the Beach Club and Spa a short drive away.
Oceanfront Living
Five miles of private Atlantic beach. Oceanfront homes and residences here are among the most sought-after addresses on the Georgia coast.
Golf & Ocean Forest
Seaside, Plantation and Retreat courses plus the private Ocean Forest Golf Club anchor the island's golf-adjacent neighborhoods.
Cottages, Homes & Residences
From classic island cottages and lake- and fairway-view homes to gated oceanfront residences, inventory is limited and turnover is low.

- What's the minimum buy-in for Sea Island real estate?
- Entry pricing shifts with inventory, and club membership requirements can add to the total cost of ownership. Call me for the current low end of the market and what membership category each property qualifies for.
