Del Webb at Cane Bay, Summerville, SC

About Del Webb at Cane Bay

Del Webb at Cane Bay is in Summerville, in the Charleston & Lowcountry region of South Carolina. Developer: Del Webb. Status: Sold out (resale market). Age-restricted (55+ community; occupancy rules are set in its recorded governing documents).

The Del Webb at Cane Bay Association's own site describes a 360-acre, gated neighborhood attracting adults 55 years of age or better, where a home includes membership to a 20,000 square foot amenity center. Most of what follows about homes and amenities comes from third-party pages that are labelled as such.

Buy Homes in Charleston, a brokerage site, says Del Webb began home sales in 2007 in its first gated 55+ community in the Charleston area, finished it in 2017 with 1,000 single-family detached homes, and that only resale homes are available. It lists the county as Berkeley. 55places says the community was built from 2007 to 2017, shows 1,017 total homes and 18 for sale at the time of the page, resale homes only, and lists the address as 325 Palmetto Point Drive, Summerville (Guide to South Carolina gives the same street address).

55places describes the clubhouse, called The Resort, as a 20,000 square-foot clubhouse and recreation area with a fitness center, an indoor lap pool, hobby and craft studios, a ballroom and a sundeck with a fire pit. Outdoors it lists a beach-entry resort-style pool, a fishing lake, a dog park, and tennis, pickleball and bocce courts, plus miles of walking and biking trails and around 100 clubs and interest groups including card clubs, golf, line dancing, photography and wine tasting. These details come from a page that states it aggregates third-party information and has not been verified by the developer or association.

Homes, per 55places, come in six collections with over 20 floor plans, from 1,109 to 3,400 square feet, with one to four bedrooms, one-and-a-half to three-and-a-half bathrooms and attached two- to three-car garages. Buy Homes in Charleston describes the homes as single story, single-family and detached.

Because the community is built out, buying here is a resale transaction. That means price, condition, upgrades and closing timelines are set by individual sellers, and Del Webb's new-home price list does not apply. It also means the association's governing documents, resale disclosure and current assessment, not a developer brochure, are the documents to request before making an offer. See Summerville for the town-level context.

Distance to Charleston is reported inconsistently. The Del Webb page for its Charleston-area communities says they are just 25 minutes from the historic area of Downtown Charleston. 55places says the community is 25 miles northwest of historic Charleston in one place and about 45 minutes from Charleston in another. A buyer should drive the route at the time of day they would expect to use it, since none of these figures is a measured drive time.

Age restrictions at Del Webb at Cane Bay

The Fourth Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (revised June 9, 2023), posted by the association, states at Section 2.6.1 that the community "is intended to provide housing primarily for persons 55 years of age or older" and "shall be operated as an age-restricted community in compliance with all applicable state and federal laws." It provides that "each Dwelling Unit, if occupied, shall be occupied by at least one (1) individual 55 years of age or older" and that "at all times at least eighty (80%) percent of the Dwelling Units within the Properties shall be occupied by at least one (1) individual fifty-five (55) years of age or older." No person under 19 may stay overnight in a dwelling for more than 90 days in any consecutive 12 months. If the age-qualified occupant dies or leaves, other qualified residents may continue to occupy the home for reasons the Board finds reasonable and acceptable. An age-qualified occupant is 55 or older, or 50 or older if an original purchaser from the declarant. The Board sets age-verification policies (Section 2.6.2). Read the full declaration before buying.

Pricing at Del Webb at Cane Bay

No official price list exists for a resale community. 55places lists a price range of low $300ks to mid $600ks and says 18 of 1,017 homes were for sale when its page was published; it also states that its information is aggregated and unverified. Treat that range as orientation and use recent closed sales from a local agent for real pricing.

South Carolina Department of Revenue guidance says homeowners over age 65 may receive a complete exemption of taxes on the first $50,000 of fair market value of a legal residence, with a temporary increase to $75,000 for tax year 2026 only, and that approved legal residence status (the 4% assessment ratio) is required first. One real-estate source places the community in Berkeley County; confirm the county and millage with the county auditor, and see Summerville for the published 2025 rate tables from the South Carolina Association of Counties.

HOA and fees at Del Webb at Cane Bay

The association's site is a sign-in portal that does not publish a fee. Figures in third-party listings are undated or old (one brokerage listing shows a fee last updated 9/9/19, and other summaries give different numbers), so get the current fee from the association.

Ask the association for the current assessment, what it includes (the brokerage page says it covers amenities and common-area and lawn care, as of its 2019 update), any special assessments, the reserve study, and the transfer or capital contribution due at closing. Get the answers from the association or its management company, not from a listing.
