3 Alder Lane @ Forest Beach | Steps from the Beach | Walk to Loggerhead Landing Dining

Experience the best of South Forest Beach living at 3 Alder Lane, a brand-new 4,500-square-foot retreat just 75 steps from the Atlantic. Built for gathering, relaxing, and making the kind of memories that bring families back year after year, this five-bedroom showpiece blends elevated coastal design with generous amenities — all tucked into a rare third-row lot that offers privacy without sacrificing convenience.

Spend your mornings at the coffee bar before slipping down the private bike path to the beach, then return home to your own elevated pool oasis — where the afternoon sun catches the water and the only decision is whether to swim or simply lounge. As evening falls, stroll over to Loggerhead Landing Restaurant for dinner on the dunes, complete with live music, fire pits, and that unmistakable Lowcountry atmosphere just steps from your front door.

Inside, the main-level living area was designed with connection in mind. An open-concept floor plan brings the kitchen, dining room, and living room together effortlessly, anchored by a massive 100-inch OLED 4K Smart TV, two plush sofas, and a pair of arm chairs that make it easy to settle in after a long beach day. Large windows and a light, modern palette keep the space feeling airy and inviting no matter the time of day.

The fully equipped kitchen is built for real cooking and easy entertaining alike. A restaurant-grade Sub-Zero refrigerator, double ovens, gas stovetop, custom range hood, double dishwashers, two sinks, and an instant hot water dispenser give home chefs everything they need. The sprawling dining table seats ten, while the coffee bar and wine fridge make mornings and evenings equally effortless — whether you're fueling up before a bike ride or winding down with a glass of rosé.

Head to the third floor for four additional bedrooms and a dedicated family room with a sleeper sofa — perfect for movie nights, extra lounging space, or accommodating larger groups. A king bedroom with an en-suite walk-in shower offers a quiet escape, while the queen suite provides its own private bath and plenty of comfort for couples or guests. The bunk room, fitted with two twin-over-full bunks and dual Smart TVs, is sure to become the kids' favorite space on the island.

The second floor was designed as a private retreat for the adults in the group. Two beautifully appointed king suites anchor the level, including the primary suite — a true standout featuring a built-in wine bar and beverage fridge, multiple spacious closets, a Smart TV, and a spa-inspired en-suite bathroom with a luxurious walk-in shower and soaking tub. The second king suite offers its own en-suite walk-in shower, creating an ideal setup for couples or guests who value both privacy and upscale finishes.

When it's time to entertain, the upper rec room delivers an experience most vacation homes simply can't match. A 130-inch projection screen, high-performance projector, and Dolby Atmos surround sound system create a true home theater for movie nights, watch parties, and gaming sessions. Next door, the game lounge is stocked with a 77-inch LG OLED TV, an Xbox Series X, PlayStation 4, a commercial-grade Golden Tee PGA Tour arcade system, and a professional JOOLA championship ping-pong table — all set up around flexible LovSac seating that makes it easy to stay all evening.

Outside, the centerpiece of the home is a luxurious private oasis designed for year-round enjoyment. The 14-by-18-foot L-shaped pool offers distinct zones for swimming and lounging, surrounded by an expansive deck with a poolside dining table for eight, integrated LED lighting, ceiling fans, dedicated pool half bath, and radiant ceiling heaters for cooler nights. A 75-inch outdoor television anchors each level's deck space, and a dedicated grill station makes outdoor cooking feel effortless. A convenient half bath near the pool keeps the flow easy when you're spending the whole day outside.

Located in the heart of South Forest Beach, 3 Alder Lane puts guests within easy reach of everything Hilton Head has to offer — from Coligny Plaza's shops and dining to Harbour Town's iconic lighthouse, scenic Sea Pines bike trails, championship golf, and miles of uncrowded Atlantic coastline. Whether you're planning a multi-family vacation, a milestone celebration, or a laid-back island retreat, every detail of this home was designed to help your group slow down, reconnect, and experience Hilton Head at its very best.
