Scope: Window and sliding glass door replacement, completed in four zones over six-to-eight weeks each

Windsor Court replaced windows and sliding glass doors building-wide in early 2026. The work moved through four zones, six-to-eight weeks per zone, and finished in March.

What it means for your stay: Now complete. Refreshed glazing across the building means tighter weather seals, less wind/road noise, and clearer views. No active construction or scaffolding.

Overview

Located in the Oceanfront area of Palmetto Dunes.

Best for
  • Families with young kids (zero-entry mushroom pool, playground, kiddie-friendly beach)
  • Golfers and tennis players (3 courses + 47 courts within PD)
  • Guests wanting covered garage parking with storage lockers
  • Groups needing 3-4 bedrooms with each bedroom having its own bath
Not ideal for

  • Guests wanting walkable nightlife or dining variety
  • Visitors during active window replacement phases (check zone schedule)

Windsor Court is a 190-unit oceanfront complex in the Leamington section of Palmetto Dunes on Hilton Head Island, offering one of the most family-friendly amenity packages in the community. Two five-story buildings — South (3000-series units) and North (4000-series units) — sit directly on the Atlantic with a private beach boardwalk over the dunes. The pool complex is the highlight: two oceanfront pools (one seasonally heated), a zero-entry family pool with a mushroom-shaped waterfall that toddlers love, a hot tub, a children's playground, an observation terrace, a fire pit, and propane grills with a covered grilling area.

Units range from 1BR/2BA (about 1,037 square feet) to 4BR/4BA (about 2,100 square feet), with the 2BR at 1,442 square feet being the most common layout. Underground covered parking with elevator access and storage lockers for bikes and beach supplies comes standard — a meaningful upgrade over the surface-lot parking at many oceanfront buildings. The beach boardwalk has showers at the access point, and trash chutes on every floor are a small but frequently praised convenience.

Guest reviews of renovated Windsor Court units are exceptional. But quality varies significantly by unit, as owners renovate on their own timelines. The active renovation cycle across many units — luxury vinyl plank flooring, granite countertops, new appliances — is an encouraging trend. As a Palmetto Dunes property on Hilton Head Island, you get the full resort package: three championship golf courses, 47 tennis and pickleball courts with two free hours daily, the 11-mile lagoon for kayaking, and the free Dunes Buggy shuttle to Shelter Cove. A window replacement project runs through spring 2026, so check construction schedules before booking.

Our take: One of the best-amenitied buildings in Palmetto Dunes with two pools, a playground, covered parking, and storage lockers — and the renovated units earn genuinely glowing reviews. But unit quality varies enormously, and the window replacement project (through April 2026) means scaffolding and construction noise. The 4BR units at $2,500,000+ signal high-end owners who invest in quality.

Getting around: Moderate within PD. Beach and Dunes House walkable. Most dining/shopping requires Dunes Buggy or bike. 5 miles PD bike paths connect to 50 miles island-wide.

FAQ

Common questions about Windsor Court

Is Windsor Court oceanfront?
Yes — Windsor Court sits directly on the Atlantic in the Leamington section of Palmetto Dunes. Two five-story buildings — South (3000-series units at 57 Ocean Lane) and North (4000-series at 51 Ocean Lane) — share a private beach boardwalk over the dunes with showers at the access point.
Is Windsor Court good for families with young kids?
Yes — it's one of the most family-friendly buildings we cover. The pool complex includes a zero-entry family pool with a mushroom-shaped waterfall that toddlers love, plus a children's playground, a hot tub, and a covered grilling pavilion. The gentle Palmetto Dunes beach stays uncrowded compared to the public Forest Beach access. Request a pool-facing unit to keep an eye on kids from the balcony.
How big are Windsor Court units?
Windsor Court has 190 total units. Layouts range from 1BR/2BA (about 1,037 sqft) to 4BR/4BA (about 2,100 sqft). The most common is 2BR (~1,442 sqft). The 4BR units list at $2.5M+ for sale, signaling high-end owners who tend to invest in premium renovations — those units typically rent at premium rates too.
Does Windsor Court have covered parking?
Yes — underground covered garage beneath each building, with elevator access from the garage to all residential floors. Two vehicles per unit. Storage lockers in the garage hold bikes and beach supplies — a real convenience that's not standard at every PD oceanfront building. Trash chutes on every floor are another small detail guests mention often.
How is Windsor Court different from Villamare?
Both are Leamington-section Palmetto Dunes oceanfront complexes with covered parking, multiple pools, and full PD resort access. Windsor Court is newer (1995 vs 1986), more family-skewed (zero-entry pool with mushroom waterfall, playground), and has 190 units across two buildings. Villamare is bigger (160 units across three buildings) with adults-only Serenity Pool, indoor heated pool, and full Health Club with sauna. Pick Windsor Court for a young-family trip; Villamare for couples or off-season visits when the indoor pool earns its keep.
Is there construction at Windsor Court right now?
Yes — a full window and sliding glass door replacement project runs September 2025 through March/April 2026, in four zones of about 6-8 weeks each. Scaffolding is present on the active zone, with daytime noise and possibly limited parking during work. All amenities (pools, playground, beach access) remain open. Confirm your unit's zone and active dates with your PM.
Do you need a car at Windsor Court?
Helpful but not essential during shuttle season. The beach is steps away. The Dunes House Beach Bar is about a 10-minute walk. Alexander's Restaurant and the General Store are about 12 minutes by walk or 4 minutes by bike. The free seasonal Dunes Buggy connects to Shelter Cove Marina. You'll want a car for full grocery runs (about 10 minutes outside the gate) and anything off-resort.
When is Windsor Court cheapest to rent?
November through March drops significantly versus summer peak. Trade-offs in winter: the family pool isn't heated year-round, the Dunes Buggy shuttle doesn't run, and beach-bar season is over. Shoulder-season (April-May, September-October) often hits the value sweet spot for families — pool open, mild weather, lower rates than peak summer.
