Wexford Plantation is one of Hilton Head Island’s most exclusive gated communities — and one of the only neighborhoods offering a private lock-controlled harbor system. For serious boaters and luxury buyers, this feature alone separates Wexford from every other waterfront community on the island.
Unlike Broad Creek or open Sound frontage communities, Wexford offers protected deepwater access through its private marina basin. Homes are positioned along a European-inspired harbor, where many properties feature private yacht dockage directly behind the residence.
For buyers seeking luxury real estate with serious boating capability, Wexford represents one of the most refined waterfront lifestyles on Hilton Head Island.
