The Residence
Renovated in March 2026, 13 McIntosh Road is a turn-key four-bedroom residence on more than an acre inside Spanish Wells — Hilton Head Island's quiet, private, gated deep-water golf community. At 3,494 square feet across two stories, it is finished, not a project: solid white oak floors run the main level, the living room rises to a tray ceiling under newly installed windows, and the chef's kitchen is appointed with granite counters, stainless-steel appliances, and a professional-grade six-burner double oven. Golf course views frame the property. A porch, a private pool, and a two-car garage serve everyday living, while the community's dock, beach rights, and beach access extend the Lowcountry well past the lot line. Spanish Wells keeps a residential pace — golf carts and motorcycles, neighbors, quiet roads — for buyers who want year-round island living rather than resort scale.
Highlights
The value
At this level, value rests less on square-foot comparison than on what can't be reproduced — a 1.0245-acre setting in Spanish Wells. Offerings of this kind are genuinely limited, which is what sustains their position in the market.

Questions
Yes — Spanish Wells is one of the island communities where primary residences and year-round living are the dominant ownership pattern. It is a gated peninsula community set well away from the island's commercial corridors, with a nine-hole golf course, tennis, and a deep-water community dock.
Spanish Wells and Port Royal Plantation are the two most often named. Spanish Wells sits on a high peninsula between the Intracoastal Waterway and Broad Creek, among mature live oaks and lagoons — gated, residential in character, and away from the island's resort traffic.
Yes — 13 McIntosh Road was completely renovated in March 2026, with solid white oak flooring throughout the main level, newly installed windows, and a tray-ceilinged living room. At 3,494 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, it is finished and ready to occupy.
All three. The Spanish Wells Club offers a nine-hole golf course and tennis, and the community maintains a 100-foot deepwater day dock with a covered pier-head, floating dock, and pavilion on Calibogue Sound. This home also carries beach rights and beach access.
13 McIntosh Road sits on a 1–3 acre homesite with a main-level primary suite, four bedrooms and four baths across two stories, and a 2-car garage. Spanish Wells is also a golf cart and motorcycle community. Tracy Dayton can confirm the exact lot dimensions and any parking covenants.
This one was taken down to a new standard in March 2026 — solid white oak floors, new windows, and refreshed finishes throughout, paired with the soaring ceilings and 1–3 acre homesite that newer infill lots rarely offer. You get current finishes on a mature, oak-shaded parcel.
Yes. Island luxury inventory reads balanced, and Hilton Head sellers have been landing near ask — roughly 96% of list year to date on detached homes. A fully renovated 3,494 sq ft home on 1–3 acres inside a gated deepwater community is priced consistent with that segment.
The deepwater dock is a community amenity — a 100-foot day dock with covered pier-head, floating dock, and pavilion on Calibogue Sound, available to residents for boating, fishing, crabbing, and kayak launching. Individual Spanish Wells homes do not carry private docks.
The Spanish Wells Club offers a nine-hole course and tennis in a quiet residential setting — a members' course rather than a resort tournament venue, which is precisely what many year-round residents prefer. This home overlooks the golf course and has pickleball and a community pool as well.
Spanish Wells is a residential community where primary residences are the dominant pattern, so it should not be approached as a short-term rental play. Any Hilton Head rental under 30 days also requires a Town STR permit ($150 per bedroom annually) and a business license. Tracy Dayton can confirm current covenants. These figures are estimates and can change — confirm the current amounts with Tracy Dayton before you rely on them.
Spanish Wells sits on a peninsula between the Intracoastal Waterway and Broad Creek, with deepwater and lagoon homesites and shared deepwater dock access on Calibogue Sound. 13 McIntosh Road is a golf-course-view home with beach rights, a pool, and a 1–3 acre setting among mature live oaks.
Spanish Wells is one of Hilton Head Island's established gated communities built around residents who stay — not just visit. Mature trees, quiet roads, and neighbors who know each other make the off-season as comfortable as the summer months. Tracy Dayton knows this community well and can speak to it honestly; reach her at 843-686-4000.
