1 Buck Island
8 BR | 9.5 BA | Sleeps 26
Welcome to 1 Buck Island, a rare and breathtaking 10-acre private island retreat just minutes from Hilton Head’s coast. This is not simply a vacation rental; it is a world of its own. Accessible by private boat in under ten minutes, 1 Buck Island offers unmatched seclusion while remaining moments away from championship golf, fine dining, and the iconic Harbour Town lighthouse.
Designed for unforgettable gatherings, this exclusive escape features two luxurious residences: a main house with five king master suites and a spacious guest house built for togetherness with bunks, queens, and expansive communal areas. Together, they create a private compound that feels more like a resort than a rental home.
Outside, the island becomes your playground. An infinity-edge pool overlooking the marsh, a hot tub beneath ancient live oaks, fire pits, secret trails, and expansive event-ready decks create endless opportunities for connection and celebration. Dolphins cruise by at sunset, hammocks sway in the breeze, and evenings glow with firelight and laughter.
Whether you are hosting a wedding, on a corporate retreat, or taking a once-in-a-lifetime family reunion, 1 Buck Island can transform ordinary trips into legendary experiences. Concierge services are also available, and can elevate your trip even more.
