News Title:Stanley Martin Homes Adding 66 Villas to The Tides at Ocean Isle Beach, Bringing Planned Home Count to 583
Stanley Martin Homes is bringing 66 new villas to The Tides at Ocean Isle Beach, adding another housing option to one of the newest residential developments in the Ocean Isle Beach area. Scheduled to arrive in November 2026, the villas will join the community's 517 planned single-family homes, bringing the total number of residences at The Tides at Ocean Isle Beach to 583.
The addition of the villas will introduce a second home type and a lower starting price point for buyers interested in the community. While Stanley Martin Homes is currently pricing its single-family homes from the upper $400,000s, the new villas are priced starting in the mid-$300,000s.
The Tides at Ocean Isle Beach began sales in September 2026 and is located on the west side of Ocean Isle Beach Road, just north of Old Georgetown Road. Stanley Martin Homes owns approximately 205.44 acres at this location, where the company is developing the 583-home residential community.
The development will feature 517 single-family homes and 66 villas, with two different villa floor plans joining the four single-family home designs already being offered. The villas will provide a smaller-scale alternative, with approximately 1,592 to 1,636 square feet of living space and primarily single-level layouts.
Planned resort-style amenities at The Tides at Ocean Isle Beach include a clubhouse with a fitness center, a community swimming pool, pickleball courts and a dog park. The combination of detached homes, villas and recreational amenities will give the development a variety of housing options within the same community.
Stanley Martin Homes Expanding Its Coastal Carolina Presence
Stanley Martin Homes was founded in 1966 and is headquartered in Reston, Virginia. The company originally established its reputation in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area before expanding throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Over its history, Stanley Martin has built more than 40,000 homes.
In 2017, Stanley Martin became part of Japan-based Daiwa House Industry, one of the world's largest residential construction companies. The acquisition provided Stanley Martin with additional financial resources and support as it continued expanding into new markets throughout the United States.
The company's more recent expansion includes its acquisition of United Homes Group in 2026. This transaction is particularly significant in the Carolinas because United Homes Group had previously acquired Great Southern Homes in 2023. Great Southern Homes was a well-established homebuilder in South Carolina, and its operations became part of Stanley Martin's expanded homebuilding organization following the United Homes Group acquisition.
Stanley Martin is already active in coastal North Carolina, where it is building new homes at Rourk Woods in Shallotte and East Meadows in Winnabow. The Tides at Ocean Isle Beach represents another significant addition to the company's growing presence in the coastal Carolina housing market.
