Leamington, on Hilton Head Island, is a 460-acre neighborhood at the south end of Palmetto Dunes, on the Atlantic side of the island. It is really two neighborhoods: a private residential side of single-family homes, and a villa side of oceanfront and second-row condos. Leamington has its own property owners association, separate from the one that runs the rest of Palmetto Dunes, so check which side of it you are looking at.

Leamington Homes for Sale

Buyers looking at Leamington are choosing between a home on the residential side, where no short-term rental is allowed, and a villa on the villa side, where it is. The MLS files both sides under Leamington, so check which side a listing is on before you plan to rent it out. The association also sets its own rules and fees. The 18 condos of South Shore Commons, on South Shore Drive, have a page of their own. The rest of the resort is on Palmetto Dunes homes for sale, which also explains what owners need to know about gates, decals and renting.

The Leamington Gate and Beach Access

The residential neighborhood is gated. You need a pass to drive in, the same as for the rest of Palmetto Dunes, and you pick it up before you reach the Leamington Gate. What sets Leamington apart, according to its association, is that it is the only private beach community on the island where residents can use their own golf carts inside the gates. Owners can ride one to the beach without leaving Leamington.

Everyone else in Palmetto Dunes gets around another way: personal golf carts are not allowed in the rest of the resort, and Leamington is on the route of the seasonal Dunes Buggy shuttle. See the Palmetto Dunes guide for how the gates and passes work.

The Leamington Lighthouse

The island’s other lighthouse shares the neighborhood’s name: the Hilton Head Rear Range Lighthouse at 53 Leamington Lane. It is an 1880s iron range light standing between two holes of the Arthur Hills course. The outside is free to see with a visitor pass, and the tower is closed.
