Waterfront Gem in the heart of James Island!

Summary:
Nestled in the serene environment of James Island, our waterfront property offers a secluded getaway that feels like a world apart, yet remains connected to everything you need. This newly constructed two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit provides the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility.

From the moment you arrive, the breathtaking views of Clarks Sound stretching towards Folly Beach captivate the senses. Whether you're an early riser eager to catch the stunning sunrises or someone who revels in the peaceful hues of sunsets, our waterfront retreat is perfectly positioned to provide you with unforgettable vistas.

The ground floor unit not only boasts panoramic waterfront views but also ensures privacy and comfort. The inviting space is designed with relaxation in mind, featuring contemporary decor and all the amenities required for a stress-free stay. Each bedroom is a haven of comfort, offering plush bedding and serene views to ensure a restful night's sleep.

Located deep within the heart of James Island, our property provides a unique vantage point over the natural beauty of the area. Despite its secluded feel, you’re only a stone's throw away from local attractions. The James Island Youth Soccer Club is nearby, offering sports enthusiasts a chance to engage with local teams. Moreover, both downtown Charleston and Folly Beach are just a 15-minute drive away, making it easy to explore the rich history and vibrant beach scenes.

For those who love to explore on foot, the surrounding community provides a picturesque backdrop for leisurely strolls or morning jogs. Back at your waterfront sanctuary, you can unwind in the privacy of your space, which includes a private entrance distinct from the main family home.

This unit also offers flexibility for larger groups, as there is an additional unit upstairs that can be rented, depending on availability. Whether you are planning a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a group adventure, our property is designed to accommodate your needs.

As your hosts, we reside on-site but prioritize your privacy. We are available as needed to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. Our goal is to provide a seamless experience that allows you to relax, rejuvenate, and create lasting memories in this special part of South Carolina.

Whether you're here to soak in the natural beauty, explore local attractions, or simply escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our Waterfront Gem on James Island offers the perfect setting for your next vacation.

Christmas with Family

This property was the perfect extra room for our Christmas Family gathering. We were 5 minutes away from our family and had all the comforts of home. The sunrise and sunset on the water was such a gift. Thank you for a great place to create memories. We’ll definitely be back.

As if the charm of Charleston isn’t luring enough on its on, this plantation style home on the wetlands is a destination on its own. We were greeted by the personal drive, an escape from the near by destinations. We loved using the backyard for sunset photography, and evening laughs. The host was quick to reply, and anticipated our needs, even down to easy to forget toiletries. The location offers an off road private feel, while keeping you close to everything you’ll want to visit/do!

Family Vacation

The home was perfect for our family of 6! We had enough space to sleep comfortably, hang out together inside and enjoy the beautiful lawn and marsh water outside. The property was secluded enough for a special family time but close enough to the beach and restaurants and tourist attractions to make for a wonderful vacation!

Relaxing Gem

This location was beautiful and after 15 years visiting Charleston this is the most relaxing of any prior places we have stayed. Felt very comfortable and almost like being at except with a water view. The environment felt very safe. I slept on the deck one night watching night and day arrive, beautiful. The one issue we had the host corrected very quickly, The kitchen are was beautiful and very funny. We will go back. I definitely recommend as it is a very peaceful location yet close to beach great restaurants and downtown Charleston.

Well-appointed scenic property

My wife and I had a pleasant stay at this James Island property, when we had to stay around more than most visitors likely do. The interior was clean and spacious, and we felt at home with all the dishes and appliances in the kitchen, plus the shower liquids were a nice touch. The view of the marsh speaks for itself, and there was plenty of room to walk our dog. My wife was 7.5 months pregnant, so we did takeout for most meals, and she stayed behind while I did the Bridge Run. Despite having a few sets of neighbors, noise was never an issue.

Jamestown

The property was beautiful, clean, and right on the water as advertised. The backyard view was gorgeous; especially at sunrise and sunset. The Christmas decor inside the property was a nice touch. There were plenty of extras that you wouldn't normally get at a hotel or resort; items like just in case you forgot this, we have these extras. Somehow I missed where we'd be sharing that beautiful backyard with a whole complex in the listing description, but that's really our only complaint.
