Located just north of Charleston, SC, Ocean Park at DeBordieu Colony continues to be one of the most popular neighborhoods in this upscale, private, ocean front community.
The “Victorian” architecture of these 41 single family homes gives the community the casual feeling of a turn-of-the century village on the ocean. Here you’ll find luxuriously detailed beach homes with wrap-around porches, metal roofs and extra touches that add to the charm.
The center street leading from the gazebo and croquet lawns to the private bath house and beach board walk is red brick. White picket fences abound.
When the development of this DeBordieu neighborhood began in 1988, it was originally designed for small Victorian cottages. Similar neighborhoods were also developed in Kiawah and Wild Dunes.
The idea took off immediately, but the market called for something a little different….. actually, a little bigger…. like the home featured here, and currently for sale, 39 Ocean Park Loop.
(Click on any of these pictures for more details about the home.)
To comply with what the DeBordieu Colony buyers wanted, the architectural requirements were kept in tact, but the maximum size was increased.Therefore, Ocean Park provides a variety of homes from coastal cottages to large beach houses that have as many as 8 bedrooms.
When DeBordieu opened Ocean Park in 1988, I was the Marketing Director at DeBordieu Colony at the time. I can remember how much fun we had dressing up in Victorian garb and playing croquet on the croquet lawns. At the time, there was talk of getting together a interclub croquet team, which I think would be a great idea. (If you’re a DeBordieu Colony owner, please let me know if you think that’s a good idea. I think it could be really cool and would be happy to do the leg work.)
If you’re not a DeBordieu Colony owner yet, then let’s get together and change that!
People who have been here say there will never again be a place like DeBordieu Colony. And there has never been a better time to consider a purchase here. Why not visit this weekend. For more information, call Troi Kaz, 843-455-4523 or Jane Chapman, 704-650-9328.
DeBordieu Colony is a very private residential community on the ocean located just south of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, about an hour north of Charleston.
