Dewees-Island is a private, oceanfront barrier island located approximately twelve miles north of Charleston. The island boasts two and a half miles of pristine beaches and sand dunes that nestle against an unspoiled maritime forest. The residential community on the island is designed to live in harmony with the natural surroundings. Only 150 homesites will ever be allowed on Dewees Island and island access is available only to property owners and their guests. This peaceful, nature lover's paradise is called "one of the best-kept secrets on the South Carolina coast." Residents of the island embrace a unique philosophy to provide a place of seclusion "where the wonders of nature provide a retreat from mainstream life." Nearby is historic Charleston with its' gorgeous antebellum mansions and gardens, quaint horse-drawn carriages and walking tours, fine dining and eclectic shopping. Places to visit in the area include the Old City Market, the South Carolina Aquarium, Historic Fort Sumter and Mt. Pleasant and the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition.
