Map & Owner's Profile
Expansive Views of Intracoastal Waterway, Easy Access to Beach
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Dewees Island
The owners built this house as a labor of love in 2004. Great jobs keep them away most of the time. Dewees Island offers incredible private beaches, great fishing, birding as well as kayaking, tennis, an inviting community pool. We love everything about Dewees. It's a great back to nature experience with all the comforts of a great house and community. It's within easy access of Charleston if you want to enjoy the dinning, history or cultural events.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The beach is very private. You might run into one or two people, instead of hundreds. It's a short golf cart ride from the house (5 minutes). The house has amazing views of the marsh and the Intracoastal Waterway. There's great birding right from the back deck or screened in porch. We see beautiful sunsets. We love using golf carts to get around the island. We like to go crabbing and shrimping as well as fishing.
