A secluded island with only 150 home sites, Dewees Island majestically marries natural, coastal terrain with elegant estates. Located north of Charleston, Dewees Island is the ultimate private residential community whose amenities include its beautiful beach and unruffled forest. For recreation and relaxation, residents walk the 2.5 mile stretch of beachfront, build sandcastles, swim in the ocean, harvest oysters and crabs, observe a school of dolphins, watch sea turtles build their nests, or fish from the surf or tidal creek. Some property owners opt not to build and instead stay at the Huyler House, a plantation-style home that has private guest suites, a swimming pool, tennis courts, and Timucua room. Here, property owners are able to enjoy dinner with friends and the restaurant and then retreat to their rooms for solitude. Dewees Island is accessible only by ferry or personal boats, and residents use golf carts or bikes as their primary modes of transportation on the island. Unpretentious and private, Dewees is desirable for those who wish to escape to a quiet island and simple lifestyle. Often, Dewees is described as “barefoot beach” living, a moniker that succinctly characterizes its appeal. In fact, the original proposal fiercely protects wildlife and the natural environment, thus ensuring the island’s tranquil charm. Real estate on Dewees Island consists of single family homes and vacant land lots. Read More
