▾The Residence
Yes — short-term rental is permitted here by the Town of Hilton Head Island, with no HOA or community covenant restricting it. That single fact, paired with nine bedrooms, is the reason 13 Bradley Circle reads differently from most of the island's beachfront inventory. How many bedrooms and baths does 13 Bradley Circle have? Nine bedrooms and eleven baths across 5,300 square feet, completed in 2025 on a lot under a quarter acre, offered at $3,499,000. A private infinity-edge pool, an elevator, and a three-car garage serve the whole of it. The penthouse level holds the gathering room: beamed ceilings, a kitchen open to the dining area and great room, and a wide covered porch where the salt air and the long view do the work. Brand-new homes surround it in a resort-style setting, with open space to the side and rear. Request a viewing and David will respond within one business day to arrange a private showing.
The Highlights
Completed in 2025, this 5,300-square-foot residence looks out across tidal marsh to the Atlantic beyond, a vantage that shifts with the light and the tide throughout the day. Nine bedrooms and eleven baths include multiple primary suites, while the pool, deck, and covered porch extend the living space into the open air. A three-car garage completes a home built for Bradley Beach, minutes from the island's South End beaches and Coligny Plaza.

Questions
Yes. Bradley Beach is one of the island's short-term-rental-friendly beachfront neighborhoods, and its homes are built to accommodate vacation stays. You operate under the Town of Hilton Head Island ordinance with an annual Town STR permit plus an active Town business license.
There is no master HOA governing Bradley Beach, and no restrictive rental covenants along Bradley Circle or Bradley Beach Road. Rental allowance is set entirely by the Town of Hilton Head Island Land Management Ordinance — there is no community approval layer to clear.
The Town's current model is $150 per bedroom per year, which replaced the prior flat $250 fee. At 9 bedrooms, 13 Bradley Circle computes to roughly $1,350 annually, plus the separate Town business license. David Carroll can confirm the exact figure at your application. These figures are estimates and can change — confirm the current amounts with David Carroll before you rely on them.
Bradley Beach is un-gated — you drive straight in, with no gate pass or community security check. That also means there is no community rental-permission layer on top of the Town ordinance.
Beach access is via the Driessen Beach Park boardwalk, which includes restrooms, showers, beach matting for mobility aids, and seasonal lifeguards. This home also carries beach rights and beach access among its community amenities.
Bradley Beach sits on the island's South End, minutes by car from Coligny Plaza — the island's primary dining, shopping and services corridor. No measured mileage is published for this listing, so David Carroll can confirm the exact drive distance.
No — Town STR permits are non-transferable and non-refundable, valid only for the property and owner they were issued to, running May 1 through April 30. As the new owner you apply in your own name; budget for that first-year permit as a closing-period item.
You need the annual Town STR permit and an active Town business license, plus an account with the Town Revenue Services Office and quarterly filings. Rentals under 30 days carry SC sales tax, SC and Town accommodations taxes, and the Town Beach Preservation Fee — roughly 9–13% of gross, with exact rates verified at filing. These figures are estimates and can change — confirm the current amounts with David Carroll before you rely on them.
Short-term rentals are permitted in Sea Pines, Palmetto Dunes (excluding detached homes in Leamington), Shipyard, Forest Beach, Folly Field, Burkes Beach, and Singleton and Bradley Beach. They are prohibited inside Hilton Head Plantation, Indigo Run, Long Cove Club, Palmetto Hall, Port Royal Plantation, Wexford and Windmill Harbour.
The Town caps a rental at six vehicles, all parked on improved driveway surfaces — no grass, shoulders or right-of-way. Quiet hours run 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM, and an owner or manager must be reachable 24/7 with a one-hour complaint response.
Yes — this is 5,300 heated square feet of just-completed 2025 construction with an infinity-edge pool, elevator, and ocean and marsh views, in a neighborhood where $1M+ Hilton Head inventory tightened 15.3% while closings rose 12.0%. New-build homes at this bedroom count rarely reach the market here.
Above 3,600 square feet the Town requires third-party monitored fire suppression and alarm, smoke and CO detectors in every bedroom, on each floor and in exit corridors, and a 60-minute auto shut-off valve on any gas or propane grill. As a 2025 build these systems are new; David Carroll can confirm what is already installed.
Coastal insurance is underwritten per property, so quote it against this specific 2025 build — new construction is built to current coastal code. On the sand, dune trespass and alteration carry heavy fines, and glass, unpermitted fires and fireworks are banned, with dogs seasonally restricted by month.
Yes — Bradley Beach is a small South-End beachfront neighborhood, and 13 Bradley Circle is a brand-new 2025 home there with ocean and marsh views, 9 bedrooms, 10.5 baths, a private infinity-edge pool and an elevator. The penthouse gathering room holds the best views in the house.
Public beach visitors use the metered Driessen Beach Park lot at 64 Bradley Beach Road, served by automated kiosks. This home's own parking is substantial — a garage for 6+ cars plus four on the driveway — within the Town's six-vehicle cap for a rental.
