OWNERSHIP FAQs
The purchase price is so low you might not believe it. In fact, Swallowtail was one of the original properties that offered specific residences, on specific weeks, so people could enjoy the comforts of home without the cost and complication that usually goes with ownership. The annual maintenance fee is competitive, and assures you there are no surprises.
Satisfaction is such that many Swallowtail at Sea Pines owners have been with us for more than 20 years. Yet today, some weeks and some choice residences are available. Call George Flathmann at Lighthouse Realty at 843.671.5551843-671-5551 to learn more.

Truly, Swallowtail is in the center of it all.

Catch the trolley the other way, and you are at a white sand beach that appears on lists of the world’s finest. Golf is right outside your door – the Pete Dye Heron Point Course.

“Beautiful and well maintained. I highly recommend.”
“Have been staying at Swallowtail my whole life, since the age of three months in 1982. The condos are lovely and peaceful. Nice pool under moss-laden live oaks. Perfect location within walking distance of Harbour Town. Directly across from The Shops at Sea Pines Center, and a very short drive or bike ride up Lighthouse Road from the Beach Club.”
“We used to own a vacation home in Sea Pines, but this is much easier and more enjoyable than having to maintain and worry about property. The golf course views and proximity to Harbour Town, the Beach Club, and The Shops at Sea Pines Center make this a perfect getaway home for us. And we get to stay in our same villa every year. We’re really glad we bought two weeks in Swallowtail!”
“Beautiful please. Quiet and with awesome views. A lovely place.”
“Excellent location and accommodation. Something to do for everyone.”
“Wonderful place for all ages. Great location. Relaxing, beautiful, lowcountry scenery with lots of things to see and do.”
“We love Swallowtail. After seeing all the conveniences of its location in Sea Pines, we purchased a week. The following year, we purchased another week. Swallowtail’s location makes it so easy. Access to walking and bike trails and halfway between Harbour Town and the beach. Great pool and hot tub. Grilling areas with two grills each. Swallowtail backs up to the Heron Point Golf Course. A quiet place for reading or having your favorite beverage as golfers come through. We look forward to going there every year.”
“The resort is located in Sea Pines, which is a gated community. It is tucked away, so it is perfect for peace and quiet. The unit is right off the course, which is great if you’re a golfer. The unit is clean with many upgrades.”
“My home away from home. Spacious townhouse-style units that are clean, bright, and well maintained. Full kitchen, washer, and dryer in the units. Sea Pines location couldn’t be better. Fifteen-minute walk to Harbour Town and a five-minute drive to the beach. Directly across the street from Giuseppe’s Pizza – the best on the island.”
