Windmill Harbour is one of the Lowcountry’s most distinctive gated communities, designed around a true boating lifestyle. Tucked just off the mainland side of Hilton Head (minutes from the bridge), the neighborhood is centered on a beautiful, protected inland harbor—giving residents a rare combination of calm, scenic waterfront living and easy access to Hilton Head Island, Old Town Bluffton, and Savannah.
At the heart of Windmill Harbour is the South Carolina Yacht Club (SCYC) and its full-service marina. For boaters, it’s hard to beat: a sheltered harbor setting, convenient slip access, and quick routes to the Intracoastal Waterway and open water. Even if you don’t own a boat, the harbor creates a special atmosphere—morning walks along the water, coastal breezes, and that laid-back “everything moves a little slower” vibe people come here for.
Windmill Harbour is known for being active without feeling crowded. Residents enjoy:
Gated entry and private roads for a quiet, secure setting
Marina and yacht-club scene (social events, waterfront gatherings, and a strong boating community)
Tennis and pickleball, and an overall outdoorsy, social culture
Walking and biking-friendly streets under mature Lowcountry landscaping
Homes in Windmill Harbour typically feature classic Lowcountry architecture—many with lagoon, marsh, or harbor views—on beautifully landscaped lots with mature trees and coastal charm. The neighborhood feels established, private, and intentionally designed, with the harbor as the signature focal point.
One of Windmill Harbour’s biggest advantages is its location: you’re close to Hilton Head Island beaches and golf, plus Bluffton’s dining and daily essentials, with easy access to Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. It’s an ideal fit for full-time residents, second-home owners, and anyone who wants a waterfront community feel without being deep in the island traffic.
