Absolutely stunning oceanfront residence in Port Royal, Hilton Head Island's premier private oceanfront community. This oceanfront oasis underwent an extensive renovation in 2020 and is arguably the finest oceanfront home currently available for sale on the island. With double oceanside porches, the home was built to utilize the Lowcountry's year-round outdoor lifestyle and boasts an oceanfront heated pool and spa as well. Whether dining al fresco, enjoying the Carolina sunrises, basking in the summer sun whilst poolside, or enjoying a cool fall evening under the stars, 38 Ensis is the epitome of oceanfront living on Hilton Head Island.

Planned Development Mixed-Use District
The purpose of the Planned Development Mixed-Use District is to recognize the existence within the Town of certain unique Planned Unit Development s that are greater than 250 acres in size. Generally, these PUDs have served to establish the special character of Hilton Head Island as a high quality resort and residential community. It is the intent in establishing this district to allow the continuation of well-planned development within these areas. In limited situations, some commercially planned portions of PUDs are placed within other base districts to more specifically define the types of commercial uses allowed.
