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.

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.

Great location for easy quick travel to areas to visit. Beautiful quiet place. Mornings on the front porch having coffee just taking in the view was so relaxing. My sister and brother in law joined us. Plenty of room for us all. All the amenities you needed were available. Host was very accommodating. I would definitely refer this property to others.

From the time I booked our stay to after we checked out everything was perfect. Many times before check in I had questions for the Host and my questions were answered quickly and accurately. Once we checked in we had everything we needed and everything was clean. If we are in the Charleston or Folly Beach area again we will definitely stay here.

Fantastic Family Weekend Getaway

The property is clean, updated, and convenient but the VIEW from the backyard takes your breath away at sunrise and sunset. If you want it all - the comforts of home and to experience the best nature has to offer then this is the place for you.
