For more than 85 years, Sea Island has provided travelers with a luxurious private sanctuary, combining breathtaking nature, outdoor activities, and the highest quality accommodations. The Cloister Ocean Residences, a private residence club on Sea Island, aims to offer the very best in personalized worry-free vacations.
Every Bedroom a Room With a View
The Cloister Ocean Residences consists of 22 residences. With one, two, or three-bedroom options, each home is beautifully furnished in a classical style that brings together rich wood and a light airy ocean feel. Daily housekeeping and concierge services ensure that you don't have to worry about a thing from the minute you arrive. Even your grocery shopping will be ready and waiting.
Every residence comes with a fully equipped kitchen, private balconies, and 42-inch televisions in the living room and each bedroom. Unlike some private residence programs where only the master bedroom enjoys a view, every bedroom comes with a scenic view, either of the ocean, or the river and marshlands.

The Georgian Room is the only Forbes Five-Star restaurant in the entire state of Georgia, with award-winning head chef Daniel Zeal producing a fine selection of "new southern" cuisine.

A Smart Way to Own on Sea Island
The luxury shared ownership program at The Cloister Ocean Residences offers a quarter-share residence with a guaranteed 13 weeks access each year, at least one week each month. Longer stays and schedule alterations may be arranged to suit your needs. The price for a one-quarter deeded ownership varies from $425,000 to $1.1 million, depending upon size and location. By comparison, a 3-bedroom whole ownership property on the island would cost somewhere in the region of $3.75 million.
