Privately owned Little Hawkins Island comes with a main residence, two guest cottages, and its very own club.

The antebellum home—which now sits on a half-acre lot—retains many of its original features. The two front rooms are drenched with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling triple-hung windows, which once provided access to the deep front porch.
