Hilton Head oceanfront real estate for sale, whether condos, villas, or homes, is prime Island real estate, and many of these properties are currently priced at or below market value. Foreclosures and short sales in condo/villa segment of the market have brought about resurgence in activity and, as a result, inventory of oceanfront real estate is quietly diminishing, especially in the upscale Palmetto Dunes and Leamington villa market, where a large number of these exclusive properties are located.  

Oceanfront real estate is defined as first row dwellings—in other words, there are no structures between it and the ocean. Obviously, however, some properties have better views than others, so location should always be paramount in determining a property’s true value. In addition to villas, Palmetto Dunes features a number of select oceanfront homes. While Sea Pines does have several oceanfront complexes, the majority of oceanfront real estate in that resort is in the luxury home market.   Forest Beach and Folly Field offer a mixture of homes and villas with varied price points, while Port Royal Plantation’s oceanfront homes for sale are not to be missed!
