Selling Hilton Head Island’s Finest Coastal Properties

Make your dream of oceanfront living a reality.

With 18 years of real estate sales experience and Hilton Head Island homeownership, Sara is a seasoned Realtor ® who specializes in ocean oriented homes, villas, lots and income producing investment properties.

Hilton Head Island is a nostalgic destination where families have built many cherished memories. The appeal to live, vacation and invest on the Island has increased dramatically in recent years. For many buyers, an investment home on the island quickly turns into a primary residence.

Sara’s expertise provides for a professional and tailored experience for each and every client. Her personal approach to real estate, love for her profession and commitment to building and preserving relationships is what she believes makes buying and selling real estate more than just a transaction.

I'm thrilled to be joined by Anna Almeida, who is a former Michigander, like myself. Interning on the island in 2011, Anna loved the Lowcountry so much, she decided to stay. She has a vast background in the hospitality industry, as well as running Lux Design Hardscapes with her husband, Rafael. Anna is a natural people person, with a passion for real estate sales and marketing. She and Rafael reside in Bluffton with their 2 pups, Vito and Jada.

I’m honored to have 18 Armada Street showcased in CH2 Magazine’s “Property Envy 2024: Breathtaking Beauties, Pricey Properties."

Towering above captivating ocean views, this sophisticated oceanfront manor takes all the grandeur and elegance of classic Southern architecture and reimagines it as a thoroughly modern luxury home.  The stately dual porches of the dramatic entryway evoke the beauty of the Old South, while the sprawling sun-drenched outdoor spaces echo the hospitable beauty of a five-star resort. “The architecture of this home gives it such presence, a prefect mix of Georgian Revival alongside Lowcountry charm,” said listing agent Sara Kurtz.  “One of the only homes in Palmetto Dunes, with an expansive outdoor pool deck complete with a bar, sundeck and multiple lounging areas.”  Homebuilding brilliance has imbued the elements of the old world - a grand winding staircase, dramatic open spaces and soaring arched doors - with the subtle sophistication of modern design.  The net result is s home offering the best of both worlds, soaking in elegant scenery through wide windows or boasting a sprawling garage perfect for keeping a dream car collection in pristine comfort.
