From the beginning
John's Island was envisioned as a very private, family-oriented club community that took full advantage of its barrier island location. The community's plans laid out by the legendary developer, E. Llwyd Ecclestone, Sr., called for strategically placed homes in the shadow of majestic live oaks and careful preservation of the pristine natural environment. Since its inception in 1969, John's Island has grown and evolved. It has seen both the original golf and beach clubhouses replaced and first-class recreational facilities added.
