Let us introduce you to The Inlet — the new 11-townhome community is being developed by Seabrook Island resident Paula Murphy and her son, Keith Murphy, an architect with Island Architects.
The open-concept living spaces will boast 9- and 10-ft ceilings and gas fireplaces.

“Although zoning permitted more than double the number of residences on the site, we intentionally limited the community to 11 townhomes to preserve the live oak corridor, protect the surrounding wetlands, and retain the sense of retreat that defines Seabrook Island,” said Keith Murphy in a press release.
His mother, Paula Murphy, added, “The Inlet was designed to nestle into the landscape, respecting what makes Seabrook Island so extraordinary.”
The Inlet aims to offer marsh views and show off the deep-rooted character of the island.

The plans range from 2,330 to 3,239 sqft, and include three- and four-bedroom layouts, each with a private elevator, a two-car garage, and dedicated golf cart parking.
Construction is expected to be completed in the fall of 2026.
