Considering a Home in Sea Island (Homesites, Cottages & Condominiums)?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Sea Island (Homesites, Cottages & Condominiums) and the surrounding Sea Island golf market.
Sea Island proper is a small, privately owned barrier island (roughly 500 homes) that functions as one of the most exclusive residential real-estate markets on the Georgia coast, built around The Cloister resort and the Sea Island Club membership ecosystem. It is distinct from -- and should not be confused with -- St. Simons Island, the larger, more populated island immediately to its west, where all three Sea Island Golf Club courses are actually located.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Golf and club access is not bundled into a typical home purchase here. Full and Beach & Sports Sea Island Club memberships require owning qualifying real estate plus a member-sponsored application; Invitational and Junior memberships do not require real estate but do require sponsorship (Invitational) or an age limit (Junior, under 50). The sole automatic-bundling exception on the island is the Cloister Ocean Residences fractional-ownership property -- see that separate community record.

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)
Current$5,999,000
Approximate low end of current active listings on Zillow at time of research; Sea Island's typical (median) home value index was reported separately at roughly $3.58M, and condo/cottage-only listings may run lower than the current single-family-dominated active-listing set captured here.
Home price (high)
Current$42,000,000
High end of current active listings found this pass; ultra-luxury oceanfront estates (see The Reserve at Sea Island) can exceed this.
Sea Island Club membership (golf/beach/social access) is a separate cost from SIPOA dues and is not automatically included with home purchase for most property types -- see the Sea Island Golf Club anchor records and The Cloister at Sea Island for the full membership structure. Reported standard Club figures (aggregator-sourced, unconfirmed on Sea Island's own site): $150,000 initiation, $12,000/year dues.
