South Carolina Waterfront Homes for Sale

Waterfront Homes in South Carolina

South Carolina is located in southeast United States. Three geographic regions cover the state. The Atlantic Coastal Plain (or the South Carolina Low Country) extends west from the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Coastal Plains are swampy, flat and marked by rivers near the coast. The Coastal Plains are forested and lined with sandy hills as you move inland. The higher elevations and rolling hills of the Piedmont are located northwest of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The more low-lying Blue Ridge Mountains cross northwest South Carolina with elevations reaching 3,000 ft.

South Carolina's economy is historically based on agriculture. Tobacco, poultry, cattle, dairy, soybeans and hogs are important agricultural products. Growth of the textile industry met an ill fate in the 1920s with the appearance of the boll weevil--sending many African Americans north in search of work. Textile and clothing industries are based in Piedmont and continue to be an important industry to the State, along with chemical products, paper products, machinery and tourism.

It opened in 1912 as the Baker-Craig Sanitarium, Charleston’s first private hospital and first maternity hospital.

It was known alternatively as Baker Sanitorium, Baker Hospital & Nursing School, and Baker Memorial Hospital over the years. The building was converted to condominiums in 1984, a prominent example of adaptive reuse in the city. Baker House is an ideal location for outdoor and fitness enthusiasts. It sits directly across from Colonial Lake, providing access to its park, gardens, and walking/jogging paths. Right behind the building is Moultrie Playground, with public tennis courts, pickle ball courts, basketball courts, a playground, and batting cages. Baker House is also an easy stroll to the Battery and all the best downtown Charleston has to offer. In the same block, you can walk to the shops and restaurants in The Jasper.

Waterfront Living on the Intracoastal, Minutes from Downtown Charleston, SC

Charleston, Charleston County, South Carolina


Enjoy sweeping Intracoastal Waterway views and private deepwater dock access from this beautifully renovated condominium in Wappoo Creek Place, just minutes from downtown Charleston and approximately a mile from the Country Club of Charleston. The rear of the home is almost entirely glass, creating a stunning backdrop of the water and passing boats. Nearly every space — including the living room, dining room, sunroom, and primary suite — looks directly out to the water with picture windows framing panoramic views. Thoughtful design elements and interior openings extend those sightlines throughout the home, so you’re greeted by water views from your first step inside and even the kitchen. The 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath residence underwent a comprehensive renovation about 10 years ago, adding maple engineered hardwood flooring and updating the kitchen, bathrooms, windows, doors, and HVAC system. Step inside and feel like you’re in a magazine shoot. The decor strikes a refined balance of coastal style and livable elegance—bright, inviting, and thoughtfully curated. Tropical paint colors are the perfect complement to island living. The entry opens to a gated bluestone courtyard garden with irrigation and landscape lighting. Inside, you’re immediately struck by the water views. The open layout is anchored by a central living room. Its electric log faux fireplace creates an additional focal point, separates the living and dining rooms, and even hides a television cabinet above the mantle. The statement kitchen is beautifully designed for both functionality and storage, featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, floor-to-ceiling pantry cabinets, and a dedicated coffee/baking/appliance station. A Miele induction range elevates the appliance package. The adjacent eat-in area includes a built-in window seat overlooking the front courtyard. Upstairs, the primary bedroom displays expansive water views. The en suite bath features a spa-like shower with pebble floor, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet with stacked laundry. Imagine the convenience of having your laundry room right in your closet! Two additional bedrooms face the front of the home. One features a skylight above the bed for natural light by day and stargazing at night. The other, currently used as a home office, includes a walk-in closet. A hall bath serves the guest rooms, while a half bath is on the first floor. The sunroom has a vaulted ceiling and expansive windows to fully capture the waterfront setting. Sliding glass doors open to a private bluestone patio overlooking Wappoo Creek, perfect for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the view. A private deepwater dock reserved exclusively for Wappoo Creek Place residents is directly behind the condo for the ultimate boater’s convenience. Ownership includes access and dockage rights conveyed with the sale, but separately transferred. The property also includes a finished one-car garage with epoxy floor and a reserved driveway parking space, plus access to additional guest parking. Wappoo Creek Place offers a highly convenient location off of Maybank Highway on James Island. It's just a short walk to Harris Teeter, CVS, local coffee shops, and the soon-to-open Caviar & Bananas. Downtown Charleston and Folly Beach are only minutes away, and the Country Club of Charleston is approximately one mile from the property. In addition to the deepwater dock, homeowners enjoy a pool and park-like landscaping. Don’t miss this exceptional offering combining panoramic water views, private dock access, and a beautifully renovated interior—all in one of Charleston’s most convenient waterfront locations.

Updated Home on True Deep Water on the Intracoastal Waterway in Charleston

Hollywood, Charleston County, South Carolina


Set along the Stono River and the Intracoastal Waterway, this true deepwater residence captures the very heart of Charleston’s boating lifestyle with a stunning home that embraces the best of both indoor and outdoor living. Located in one of the most desirable corridors for waterfront recreation and offshore access, and also close to the amenities of downtown Charleston, 5648 Captain Kidd Road truly checks all of the boxes! Deepwater access, thoughtful construction, layered outdoor living spaces, and refined coastal finishes combine to create one of the most compelling riverfront opportunities in Charleston. A shared dock reaches seven feet of water at low tide, and a covered pierhead houses your private lift, allowing you to launch at sunrise, return at dusk, and enjoy the river at virtually any hour. The remote control powered lift makes life even one step easier. The dock is equipped with water, electricity, and a fish cleaning station for those late evenings after a successful day on the water. The home is four levels and constructed for the coastal elements. With a metal roof, Hardiplank exterior, hurricane-rated windows with numbered quick-fastener panels, 2x6 construction, and spray foam insulation from top to bottom, this structure is as strong as it is refined, yet notably, it is not located in a flood zone. Every detail speaks to long-term durability without sacrificing style. The built in elevator shaft goes from the ground level to the third floor, making this a home you can stay in forever. Inside, the main living level welcomes you with soaring eleven-foot ceilings and eight-foot mahogany doors, where walls of glass and French doors frame uninterrupted 180-degree views of the river and marsh. The open floor plan was created for gathering, flowing seamlessly from the great room with its inviting gas fireplace into a coastal chef’s kitchen that blends function with artistry. Anchored by the GE Café Suite, including a six-burner stovetop, double ovens, convection microwave, dishwasher, and beverage chiller, the space is elevated further by quartz countertops, a custom fish mosaic backsplash, a copper sink, a pot filler, coffered ceilings, and a generous walk-in pantry complete with its own coffee bar. From here, doors open directly to the expansive back porch, often affectionately called the “party porch,” where evenings unfold with family and friends. Outdoor living is layered across four covered porches, a ground-level patio, and a rooftop deck offering sweeping 360-degree vistas. The main-level back porch feels like a private waterfront club, featuring a gas fireplace, putting green, and a fully appointed outdoor kitchen with gas cooktop, grill, wine chiller, and extra refrigeration. Just beyond, a waterside fire pit overlooks the Stono River, and the fenced backyard provides a secure space for pets to roam. An outdoor shower and four-car garage complete the lower level, where a separate-entry guest or in-law suite offers flexibility for multigenerational living or potential rental income. Upstairs, the owner’s retreat serves as a sanctuary above the water. The private porch captures uninterrupted 180-degree views of the Intracoastal and the grand oaks, while the spa-inspired bath invites relaxation with a soaking tub, expansive porcelain-clad shower with dual heads, and dual sinks in a custom vanity with enviable storage. A generous walk-in closet completes the suite. Two additional bedrooms share a bath on this level, each with porch access and easy proximity to the thoughtfully placed laundry room. The fourth floor offers two more bedrooms and shared bath, while the rooftop deck crowns the home and is an extraordinary perch for sunning, stargazing, or watching boats cruise the waterway. This is not simply a waterfront home, but it is a true deepwater lifestyle on one of Charleston’s most treasured waterways, where every detail has been designed to celebrate the view, the breeze, and the freedom of living on the water.
