Charleston SC Beach Home Real Estate

Isle of Palms beach homes - Sullivans Island Beach Homes - Folly Beach SC Beach Homes - Edisto Beach Homes

Just 15 minutes from downtown lies Sullivan's Island and the Isle of Palms, two of Charleston's barrier islands. With 10 miles of sandy beaches, beautiful marshes and luxurious living, these islands have given its residents an escape from urban living since the 1800s.

The East Islands are especially attractive to relocating executives, perhaps because they are only minutes from Mt. Pleasant and a short drive to downtown. The East Islands have quick access to shopping, restaurants, hospitals and businesses while living the beach life.

Sullivan’s Island,  located at the entrance to Charleston Harbor, has a history of proudly protecting the harbor from military invaders and is the sight of a major battle of the American Revolution. Today it is an established residential and vacation community. Quaint shops, restaurants and pubs welcome locals and visitors. There are no hotels, motels or bed and breakfasts on the island. Most homes range from $1 to 7 million.

Right next door to Sullivan's Island is the Isle of Palms, a residential community bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and lying 10 miles north of Charleston, this island, with its salt marshes and wildlife, offers the best of both worlds…vacation and permanent living.  The Isle of Palms is self-contained, with shops, dining, an array of beautiful accommodations, and two championship golf courses.  Charlestonians have been flocking to the island for holidays since 1898.  With new bridges and easy access, the island now offers the seclusion and charm of  a sea island, where people from around the world often turn their vacation into permanent living.  Just minutes from downtown Charleston and the culture we all dearly love about the South.

Wild Dunes, a world-famous resort and private community, is located at the northeast end of the island. Housing options range from oceanfront condominiums to luxury homes on the ocean, marshland or overlooking golf courses.  Boating, Golfing, Fishing, Crabbing or just sitting around the cabana listening to low country music…this resort is a lively place to visit and a happy place to live.
