The Bayshore on Hilton Head Island

The Bayshore is on Squire Pope Road at the north end of Hilton Head, on the water where Skull Creek meets the Intracoastal Waterway, looking across to the marshes of Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge. It is a rental community: residents pay by the month, with no large buy-in fee, which sets it apart from the island’s three continuing care communities.

Apartments and The Villas

Most residents live in independent-living apartments in the main building, with dining, a pool and the boardwalk along the water. The Villas are free-standing patio homes on the waterway, for residents who want a house of their own with the community’s services.

Assisted Living in Your Own Apartment

The Bayshore brings assisted-living care to residents where they live: four levels of in-home assisted care delivered in the resident’s independent-living apartment, so nobody has to move to a different building when they need help. Compare it with the island’s other options on independent living on Hilton Head.
