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. Discover the charm of waterfront living where every detail is curated for your comfort and satisfaction.

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!
