Grand Harbor: Skidaway Island’s Most Anticipated New Waterfront Community
There’s a quiet excitement building on Skidaway Island—and it’s not just the sound of cicadas in the oaks or boats cruising along the creek. It’s Grand Harbor, a brand new gated, deepwater community taking shape along Green Island Road. As someone who lives, works, and raises a family right here on Skidaway, I can honestly say: this is one to watch for the boaters out there.
Whether you’re dreaming of building your forever home or looking for that rare blend of privacy, elegance, and coastal access—Grand Harbor checks every box.
Where Lowcountry Charm Meets Deepwater Living
Grand Harbor is thoughtfully designed to preserve the beauty of the island while offering modern luxury. The community will feature just 45 custom-built homes, each set on generous lots averaging around 0.38 acres.
But what makes Grand Harbor truly stand out is the deepwater access—every home comes with a deeded boat slip (25–30 feet) on Franklin Creek, giving residents direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean. For boaters, kayakers, and sunset cruisers alike, this is a dream come true.
Lifestyle Perks Without Leaving the Island
Living at Grand Harbor means more than just a gorgeous home. The community will include:
- A resort-style pool overlooking the marsh
- An open-air clubhouse pavilion
- Walking trails and sidewalks throughout
- Gated access and private roads
- Kayak storage for easy launch days
And the best part? It’s all tucked within Skidaway’s serene, oak-canopied landscape—just minutes from the State Park, Wormsloe, and everything else we love about life on the island.
Lowcountry Architecture with Elevated Detail
The homes in Grand Harbor are designed in classic Lowcountry style, with deep porches, tall windows, and modern interiors made for entertaining and everyday comfort. Features like:
- Chef-style kitchens with custom cabinetry and quartz countertops
- Spa-inspired bathrooms and oversized closets
- Bonus rooms or private home offices
- Seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces
If you’re already dreaming of porch swings and oyster roasts, I’m right there with you.
Location, Location, Skidaway
I may be biased, but Skidaway Island is one of the most beautiful and welcoming places I’ve ever lived. Grand Harbor is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the best the island has to offer:
- 20 minutes to downtown Savannah
- A few miles from The Landings Golf & Athletic Club
- Easy access to the Skidaway Institute, State Park, and more
While Grand Harbor is not part of The Landings, there have been conversations about offering membership options to the Club. No decisions have been finalized, but it’s an exciting possibility that could expand lifestyle options for future residents.
