01 / THE WATERFRONT

From your own dock,
the day opens up.

Private dock and covered pierhead extending into the deepwater creek
A private departure point. A destination all its own.

True deepwater living

Your plans.
The tide’s pace.

Take the boat out before the rest of the island stirs. Return for a long lunch, then wander down to the covered pierhead as the light begins to soften.

Completed in 2025, the private dock further distinguishes the property. A 16,000-pound boat lift accommodates an approximately 32-foot vessel, while two jet ski docks and additional mooring pilings provide flexibility for larger watercraft. The covered pierhead features Garapa decking, built-in seating and a bar area, creating a destination in its own right and placing some of the Lowcountry's finest inshore and offshore boating directly outside the back door.

Heated saltwater pool and waterfront terrace overlooking the marsh and Intracoastal Waterway

The elevated waterfront terrace

Where the pool ends,
the horizon begins.

An elevated waterfront terrace frames a heated saltwater pool and spa overlooking the marsh and Intracoastal Waterway. The 34-by-15-foot pool incorporates a dramatic 26-foot negative edge, spillover basin, automated lighting and fire bowls, while an adjoining outdoor kitchen with Blaze grill and weathered granite countertops creates a natural extension of the home's entertaining spaces.

ROOM TO LINGER

More than 2,000 square feet of porches and decks allow the landscape to remain a constant presence throughout the property.

02 / THE RESIDENCE

Reimagined in 2023.
Rooted in its setting.

A coastal home.
A collected soul.

The architecture and interiors balance scale with character. Hardwood floors extend throughout the living spaces, while coffered ceilings, custom millwork and two gas fireplaces add warmth and dimension. A dramatic stair tower illuminated by 27 fixed casement windows creates an architectural focal point, while a custom five-foot compass rose inlay anchors the foyer.

Coffered living room with glass doors framing the waterfront view
Expansive glass keeps the view close, even indoors.
Custom kitchen with central island, statement lighting and dark cabinetry

Read the full property description

Set behind the gates of Wild Dunes Resort on Isle of Palms, 15 Waterway Island Dr offers an extraordinary convergence of the Lowcountry's most coveted lifestyles: beach, golf and true deepwater living. Here, days can begin on the water, move to the beach or golf course, and end overlooking the deepwater marsh--all from the privacy of one of Charleston's premier gated resort communities. The defining luxury is not simply deepwater access, but the endless view. Completely reimagined in 2023 the residence was taken down to the studs creating a sophisticated coastal home designed around its surroundings. Spanning approximately 5,718 square feet, the residence offers five bedrooms, 5 full and two half bathrooms, an elevator, four-car garage and approximately 2,037 square feet of coverporches and decks.

The architecture and interiors balance scale with character. Hardwood floors extend throughout the living spaces, while coffered ceilings, custom millwork and two gas fireplaces add warmth and dimension. A dramatic stair tower illuminated by 27 fixed casement windows creates an architectural focal point, while a custom five-foot compass rose inlay anchors the foyer. Reclaimed Savannah mahogany doors, an antique dresser repurposed as a Carrara marble-topped powder room vanity, and mahogany entry doors flanked by copper gas lanterns introduce collected details rarely found in newer construction.

Designed equally for everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen is equipped with a 48-inch Thermador Dual-Fuel Pro Grand Range with steam and convection ovens, complemented by extensive refrigeration, additional pantry appliances, a wet bar with Bosch dishwasher and Hoshizaki commercial ice machine, and three separate washer/dryer locations throughout the property.

Yet it is outside where 15 Waterway Island Drive becomes truly exceptional.

An elevated waterfront terrace frames a heated saltwater pool and spa overlooking the marsh and Intracoastal Waterway. The 34-by-15-foot pool incorporates a dramatic 26-foot negative edge, spillover basin, automated lighting and fire bowls, while an adjoining outdoor kitchen with Blaze grill and weathered granite countertops creates a natural extension of the home's entertaining spaces. More than 2,000 square feet of porches and decks allow the landscape to remain a constant presence throughout the property.

Completed in 2025, the private dock further distinguishes the property. A 16,000-pound boat lift accommodates an approximately 32-foot vessel, while two jet ski docks and additional mooring pilings provide flexibility for larger watercraft. The covered pierhead features Garapa decking, built-in seating and a bar area, creating a destination in its own right and placing some of the Lowcountry's finest inshore and offshore boating directly outside the back door.

Technology and infrastructure have been considered with the same attention to detail. Whole-home automation provides mobile control of window shades, pool systems, music, appliances, cameras and security, with integrated sound extending throughout the interiors, porches and dock. A 22kW Generac whole-house generator, Moen Flo leak-detection system, three Navien tankless water heaters and three-zone HVAC further support the residence.

Approximately 3,000 additional square feet of garage and utility space provides exceptional storage and functionality, including epoxy flooring, a dedicated workout area, built-in workbench and storage systems, elevated storage platforms, oversized kayak and waterfront-equipment storage, and even a climate-controlled dog retreat with an enclosed artificial-turf run.

15 Waterway Island Drive presents an increasingly rare proposition on the Charleston coast: true deepwater boating, protected marsh views, resort-style amenities and the beach all within the gates of Wild Dunes. Completely reimagined for modern coastal living and surrounded by one of the Lowcountry's most extraordinary natural settings, this is a property--and a lifestyle--that would be exceptionally difficult to recreate. . !5 Watwerway Island Dr is part of the Wild Dunes Community Association and the Morgan Creek Harbor Association. There is a possible supplemental assessment for dredging of the seawall. Please ask for more information. All information deemed to be true but may not be exact, buyer to verify. Thank you for your interest!
