The homes and homesites of Callawassie—including waterfront— are among the area’s best values. Send me more information about Callawassie Island!
Golf by Tom Fazio
In designing the 27-hole Callawassie Island golf course, Fazio took advantage of a lush natural environment to create intriguing visual drama as well as excellent playability.
One of the master architect’s earliest designs, the course meanders intimately along the river and salt marshes in a way that environmental regulations make difficult today. And wth a recent $4 million renovation, the three distinct nines play like new. Send me more information about Callawassie Island!
A Certified Community Wildlife Habitat
Callawassie Island is the first South Carolina community to have been designated a “Community Wildlife Habitat” by the National Wildlife Federation. Coexisting with nature—with live oaks and palmettos, with egrets and herons, and with the thriving ecosystem of the salt marsh—has always been important here. Today, that distinguished designation still applies and Callawassie is one of only four South Carolina communities that can claim it.
Clubhouse and Other Amenities
Every community needs a center, and at Callawassie Island, it’s the gracious clubhouse. Encompassing 26,000 square feet of Lowcountry style, it offers a fine blend of casual and formal dining areas. Members and guests enjoy the Grill Room Bar for a drink after a round of golf as much as the Dogwood Room for a gourmet dinner.
The clubhouse complex includes a pool overlooking the marsh, with the golf practice area, pro shop, tennis center, and fitness center nearby. Final touches are bocce and croquet courts and a horseshoe pit. Send me more information about Callawassie Island!
The River Club

The River Club docks offer community boat tie-ups and slips, as well as deep-water access to the Colleton River and Port Royal Sound. The Sugar Mill Ruins dock and the Paddler’s Point dock offer easy creek access to residents with smaller boats or kayaks. The island’s surrounding tidal rivers, creeks, and freshwater ponds are home to great inshore fishing. Residents catch shrimp and crab right off the community docks.

Offering privacy, security and premium amenities in a natural setting surrounded by ocean and inlets, Sailfish residents live in spacious beachfront homes and intimate oceanfront condos, golf-view villas and townhomes with private docks.
Stretching along ocean and river, the community’s Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course sets a tone of sporting excellence. Prestigious and private, the club requires no tee times for play. It was named one of Golf Digest’s 10 Best New Remodeled Courses for 2008. Send me more about this home in Sailfish Point!
Golf & Water Together
First completed in 1981, the course was completely renovated by its original designer, Jack Nicklaus. Every hole has a water feature, providing views of all three of the surrounding bodies of water—Atlantic Ocean, Indian River and St. Lucie Inlet.
From the Sailfish Point clubhouse, play begins just steps from the practice area, then moves along the island to culminate in the par-4 signature 18th hole that has been dubbed “Window on the Sea” for its remarkable ocean view. Send me more about this home in Sailfish Point!
Direct Boating Access
Sailfish Point is like no other community in Florida, offering access from its private marina to open water in just five minutes. The Indian River, the Atlantic and the St. Lucie Inlet all await, offering a vast variety of fishing and boating experiences from a luxurious sea island base.
Often homeowners take their boats over to the city of Stuart for lunch and a little shopping. Some cruise to the Bahamas, approximately 75 miles east. Others make the day’s jaunt across the state via the Okeechobee Waterway to the Gulf of Mexico. Send me more about this home in Sailfish Point!
24-Hour Security
Homeowners enjoy their beachfront property in freedom and security. Sailfish Point Security is a private entity providing 24-hour patrols of roads, waterways and beaches. Security clears all guests, contractors, service personnel and residents.
Homes and lots around the harbors offer private, deepwater slips that put boats just steps from your door. Send me more about this home in Sailfish Point!
