What Is Included With Every Tuscan Sands Home Purchase?

Every Tuscan Sands home purchase includes a Dye Club membership — one of the most valuable inclusions of any residential community on the Grand Strand and a specific feature that distinguishes Tuscan Sands from every other neighborhood within Barefoot Resort.

The Dye Club membership includes:

• Preferred access to all four Barefoot Resort championship golf courses — Greg Norman, Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, and Davis Love III — at cart fee only. No green fee for members — a meaningful ongoing financial benefit for golfers who play regularly.
• Members-only access to the Cybex Eagle fitness facility — a full fitness center available exclusively to Dye Club members.
• Access to the Dye Clubhouse — including the private pool and hot tub facility.
• Members-only dining and social privileges at the Dye Clubhouse bar and grill.

The financial value of the Dye Club membership is significant. Green fees on the four Barefoot Resort courses run $100 to $200-plus per round for non-members in peak season. A golfer who plays twice per week for six months at $150 per round saves approximately $7,800 annually on green fees alone through the Dye Club cart-fee-only access. For serious golfers this membership inclusion is one of the most compelling value propositions in the entire North Myrtle Beach market.

In addition to the Dye Club membership, all Tuscan Sands residents share access to the full Barefoot Resort amenity package:

• Largest saltwater pool on the Grand Strand — resort complex at the Yacht Club
• Private oceanfront beach cabana — shuttle service to the Atlantic Ocean
• Two marinas — public and private — with optional boat slip access
• Walking and biking trails throughout the 2,300-acre resort
• East Coast Greenway trail access
• Direct access to Barefoot Landing — 150-plus shops, restaurants, and entertainment

What Are the Homes Like in Tuscan Sands?

Every home in Tuscan Sands was built by D.R. Horton's Emerald Homes division to a Mediterranean design standard — all-brick and stucco exteriors, tile rooflines, arched architectural details, and the warm coastal character that defines the Italian-inspired aesthetic throughout the community. Two floor plan configurations were originally built in Tuscan Sands.

The Hawthorne Plan — Single-Level Living

The Hawthorne is the smaller of the two Tuscan Sands floor plans — a single-story or 1.5-story Mediterranean design from approximately 2,100 to 2,500 square feet. Three or four bedrooms with first-floor primary suites — the most accessible floor plan in Tuscan Sands for buyers who prefer single-level or primarily single-level living. The Hawthorne is the most common floor plan in the community and represents the entry price point for Tuscan Sands. Many resale Hawthorne homes have been significantly upgraded by current owners.

The Cumberland Plan — Larger Estate Configurations

The Cumberland is the larger Tuscan Sands floor plan — from approximately 2,100 square feet at base to 3,330 square feet at maximum configuration. Four to five bedrooms with 2 and 3-car garage options. The Cumberland's larger footprint accommodates more flexible living arrangements including dedicated home offices, bonus rooms, first-floor guest suites, and large open-concept entertaining floors. Resale Cumberland homes with full upgrades — pools, outdoor kitchens, premium finish packages — represent the premium tier of Tuscan Sands inventory.

Standard features found throughout Tuscan Sands homes:

• 10-foot ceilings on main living floors
• Solid 8-foot interior doors — a specific luxury detail not found in standard production builder homes
• Oak hardwood flooring throughout — no carpet in main living areas
• Granite countertops standard throughout kitchens and bathrooms
• Gas cooktops — a preferred cooking feature that a growing share of buyers specifically seek
• Custom cabinetry — built-in wine racks and custom configurations common
• 2 and 3-car garages — many with garage floor tile systems
• Versa Lift attic storage systems on select homes
• Private pools — heated and cooled combinations — on many properties
• Outdoor kitchens and covered entertaining areas
• Custom closet systems in primary suites
• Shiplap and designer accent walls in studies and living areas
• Screened porches and sunrooms on many configurations
• Fully fenced yards — particularly common on corner lots

Where Is Tuscan Sands Located Within Barefoot Resort?

Tuscan Sands is situated in the interior of Barefoot Resort along Via Palma Drive and Via Verde Drive — positioned between the Greg Norman golf course and the Intracoastal Waterway in the heart of the resort's most prestigious residential zone.

Key distances from Tuscan Sands:

• Atlantic Ocean beaches: approximately 1 to 2 miles — golf cart accessible via resort paths — shuttle to private beach cabana available
• Barefoot Landing: approximately 5 to 10 minutes by golf cart or car — directly adjacent to the resort entrance
• Greg Norman golf course: golf course views directly accessible from many Tuscan Sands properties — walking and golf cart distance to the first tee
• Intracoastal Waterway: situated along the ICW — waterway views from select lots
• Highway 17 access: approximately 5 minutes

• Cherry Grove Beach: approximately 15 minutes north — explore North Myrtle Beach homes for sale

Tuscan Sands' position within the interior of Barefoot Resort provides a level of privacy and natural setting that perimeter communities cannot replicate — surrounded by golf fairways, ICW wetlands, and the natural landscape of the 2,300-acre resort rather than highway or commercial adjacency.

Is Tuscan Sands a Good Investment in 2026?

Tuscan Sands has one of the strongest long-term investment profiles of any single-family community in North Myrtle Beach — driven by four specific structural advantages.

1. 108 homes total — permanently limited supply. Tuscan Sands contains exactly 108 homes — the community is complete and no new homes will ever be built. This finite supply creates structural scarcity that supports pricing when comparable inventory elsewhere in the market increases. When a well-maintained Tuscan Sands home comes to market the pool of directly competing properties is small by design.

2. Mediterranean architecture ages exceptionally well. All-brick and stucco Mediterranean construction maintains its visual character and structural integrity significantly better than frame construction in the coastal South Carolina climate. The consistent architectural standard throughout the community means no property is visually diminished by a neighboring home built in an incompatible style — a specific quality-of-life and resale value advantage over communities with no architectural guidelines.

3. Dye Club membership adds permanent ongoing value. The included Dye Club membership creates a permanent financial benefit that transfers with every resale — buyers who purchase in Tuscan Sands receive the membership as a standing feature of the property. This ongoing benefit sustains demand from golf-lifestyle buyers specifically seeking communities with course access built into the ownership package.

4. Vacation rental demand is strong and consistent. Tuscan Sands properties are among the most actively searched vacation rental homes in North Myrtle Beach — the combination of Mediterranean character, four-course golf access, resort amenities, and Barefoot Landing adjacency creates a rental appeal that generic vacation homes cannot match. Confirm STR eligibility for any specific property with the HOA before purchasing for rental income purposes.

How Does Tuscan Sands Compare to Other Barefoot Resort Neighborhoods?

Tuscan Sands is the premium tier of Barefoot Resort single-family living — but understanding how it compares to alternatives helps confirm the right fit.

Tuscan Sands vs Leatherleaf. Leatherleaf is the other established premium single-family neighborhood in Barefoot Resort — well-maintained homes with golf course views at generally lower price points than Tuscan Sands. Leatherleaf wins on price accessibility — entry points start lower. Tuscan Sands wins on architectural character — the Mediterranean requirement creates a more visually cohesive and distinctive streetscape — and on the included Dye Club membership. See the complete Barefoot Resort neighborhoods guide. See the complete Leatherleaf guide →

Tuscan Sands vs Dye Estates. Dye Estates is a gated neighborhood with direct ICW waterfront access — the most waterfront-forward community in Barefoot Resort. Dye Estates wins on direct ICW frontage with boat docks. Tuscan Sands wins on community size, floor plan variety, and the included Dye Club membership standard. For buyers whose primary driver is boating and ICW access Dye Estates is worth seeing side by side.

Tuscan Sands vs Grande Dunes Tuscany Village. Grande Dunes Tuscany Village in Myrtle Beach is the closest comparable in the broader Grand Strand market — also custom Mediterranean estates at a premium price point within a major resort master plan. Grande Dunes wins on Ocean Club private beach access and community scale. Tuscan Sands wins on golf course adjacency and the four-course Dye Club membership inclusion. Both are among the most distinctive residential addresses on the Grand Strand. Search Myrtle Beach homes for sale for Grande Dunes listings.

What to Know Before Buying in Tuscan Sands

Four things every Tuscan Sands buyer should address before making an offer:

1. Confirm the Dye Club membership transfer process. The Dye Club membership included with Tuscan Sands homes is a specific benefit that should be confirmed to transfer cleanly with any resale purchase. Confirm the membership transfer process and any associated fees during due diligence. Some memberships require a transfer application and approval — confirm the timeline before closing. This is a standing due diligence step for any Tuscan Sands purchase.

2. Confirm STR eligibility before purchasing for rental income. Short-term rental policies in Tuscan Sands should be confirmed with the HOA directly before purchasing for vacation rental purposes. Do not assume STR eligibility from community reputation — confirm the current CC&Rs during your South Carolina due diligence period. See the complete due diligence guide.

3. Get pre-approved at the right loan level. Most Tuscan Sands purchases exceed $766,550 — requiring jumbo financing with distinct credit, down payment, and reserve requirements from conventional financing. Have your financing completely clear before visiting any specific property. Start your mortgage pre-approval here.

4. Move quickly on premium lot positions. ICW-adjacent and golf course view lots in Tuscan Sands generate the most buyer interest and move faster than interior lot homes. These are a finite and non-reproducible inventory — when the right home comes to market serious buyers move within days. Be pre-approved and monitoring the market actively.
