Del Webb Ocean Isle Beach

Del Webb Ocean Isle Beach is a brand-new 55+ active adult community from Pulte Homes, breaking ground in 2026 with a grand opening planned for June 2026. Set in Shallotte, North Carolina — a small coastal town in Brunswick County just minutes from the white-sand beaches of the Brunswick Islands — the community is planned to grow to approximately 600 single-family homes on a gated, new-construction site marketed under the Ocean Isle Beach name. The centerpiece of the community will be a 15,000-square-foot clubhouse serving as the social hub for residents. Plans call for a state-of-the-art fitness center with a yoga room, an indoor lap pool, a zero-entry resort-style outdoor pool, and generous social gathering spaces anchored by a fire pit. Outside the clubhouse, residents will have pickleball courts, bocce courts, an outdoor amphitheater and lawn space for live music and food truck events, and walking trails winding through the community. A full-time onsite Lifestyle Director will plan and maintain the social calendar, with programming that typically includes cooking classes, happy hours, day trips, and interest-based clubs that residents help charter over time. One of the signature perks here is the planned high-season beach shuttle service run by the HOA — residents can skip the hassle of parking and hop a ride to the Brunswick Islands beaches just minutes away. Ocean Isle Beach, Holden Beach, and Sunset Beach are all within a short drive, and the Intracoastal Waterway, top-rated golf courses, and coastal dining are all part of daily life. The community's coastal climate makes year-round outdoor living realistic — golf, pickleball, boating, and fishing are all accessible twelve months a year. Floor plans will be Del Webb's typical open, single-level designs with spacious primary suites, flex space, and kitchen upgrades — similar to the floor plan families offered at nearby Del Webb communities in the Carolinas. Because the community is pre-opening, specific price points and model details have not been publicly released; Del Webb is currently building a VIP interest list. The surrounding area is quintessential coastal Brunswick County: the Shallotte riverwalk for shops, cafes, and restaurants; the Shallotte Farmers Market; the Museum of Coastal Carolina in Ocean Isle Beach; Silver Coast Winery; Ingram Planetarium; and The Soundhouse local theater. Wilmington is a 36.5-mile drive north for historic downtown charm, bigger shopping, and cultural attractions, and North Myrtle Beach is just across the South Carolina line to the south for entertainment, shopping, and dining. Healthcare is well-covered by Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center, Dosher Memorial Hospital, and CommWell Health of Shallotte. For travelers, Wilmington International Airport is about 37 miles away and Myrtle Beach International is within roughly an hour. As a brand-new Del Webb community, this is a true ground-floor opportunity — buyers who get in early will help shape the culture, the clubs, and the social identity of the neighborhood as it takes form through the late 2020s.
