Considering a Home in Cloister Ocean Residences?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Cloister Ocean Residences and the surrounding Sea Island golf market.
Cloister Ocean Residences sits directly at The Cloister resort and is Sea Island's clearest case of real estate genuinely bundling club membership rather than merely making a buyer eligible to apply. Every one of the 22 deeded quarter-share units carries automatic, full, year-round Sea Island Club membership -- a materially stronger model than the rest of Sea Island, where Full/Beach & Sports membership requires both qualifying real estate and separate member-sponsored approval.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Membership is included automatically with purchase of a deeded quarter-share -- no application, recommendation, or member sponsorship is required, and the standard initiation fee is waived entirely. This is the one documented exception to Sea Island's otherwise approval-based membership model.

Costs & Fees
Figures below are labeled Current only when the source itself frames them as presently accurate. Everything else is labeled Historical — a source checked today does not make an old figure a current one.
Home price (low)
Historical — as of 2026-09-21$375,000
Reported starting price for a one-quarter deeded share (1BR); one other source (Atlanta Magazine) cites $425,000 as the low end -- sources conflict on the exact starting figure, flagged rather than arbitrarily resolved. Neither source gives a specific effective date for current pricing.
Home price (high)
Historical — as of 2026-09-21$1,100,000
Reported high end for a penthouse quarter-share.
All 22 deeded quarter-share residences include full, year-round Sea Island Club membership automatically bundled: the standard initiation fee (reported at $100,000 by one source, though the Club's general current initiation fee was reported elsewhere at $150,000 -- flagged as a possible historical/reporting discrepancy) is waived entirely, and owners pay only one quarter of the standard annual dues. Owners also receive complimentary membership in the 3rd Home reciprocal vacation-ownership program (3,000+ properties in 70+ countries).
