5 South Carolina Golf, Island, and Waterfront Homes with Views

Within a premier golf course community in Pawleys Island, this brand-new residence keeps a private, set-back presence—approximately 150 feet off the street—while opening to the landscape beyond. An expansive rear porch frames direct views of the #2 fairway on the Jack Nicklaus–designed course, extending daily life outdoors with an outdoor gas fireplace. Cedar accents and other design details lend the sought-after Pawleys Island feel, while the front porch’s knotty pine ceiling and gas lantern set a warm tone on arrival. Inside, a 9-foot-tall double door leads to the foyer, where an oak staircase and high ceilings in the great room create airy volume. Thoughtful upgrades include extensive moldings, upgraded insulation and wiring, a dual range, two tankless hot water heaters, and a laundry vanity with wet sink—finishes designed for easy, polished living.

Set on two lots totaling .80 acres on Fripp Island, this custom-built, sprawling ranch-style residence unfolds with an easy, airy rhythm. Magnificent sunset views are enjoyed from the main living space, two front bedrooms, and a sun room that could be converted into an additional bedroom, offering flexibility for changing needs. A large formal living room makes a gracious first impression, anchored by a wood fireplace plumbed for gas and finished with an English basket of coals. Nearby, a sitting area off the dining room creates a quieter moment—an inviting place to talk with a friend or settle in with a favorite novel. Glass doors separating most rooms keep sightlines open while allowing each space to feel distinct, lending the home a light, relaxed sense of privacy throughout.

Along the water’s edge on Fripp Island, this beautifully renovated home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac overlooking Blue Heron Lake. Designed for coastal living with natural serenity, it invites long mornings of birdwatching—herons, kingfishers, painted buntings, and mergansers—whether you’re on the screened porch, out on the deck, or settled into the open living areas with the rookery in view. Inside, new maple hardwood floors set a warm, refined tone. The first-floor primary suite offers everyday ease with an extra-large closet, plus a walk-in shower and double sinks. A gourmet kitchen anchors daily life with granite tops, a live-edge island, premium appliances, an extra pantry, and a coffee bar tucked into the butler’s pantry—made for unhurried routines and easy entertaining.

Along the shores of Lake Murray in Lexington’s gated Kingston Harbour, this well-maintained all-brick residence balances formal and casual living with ease. Two main-level bedroom suites include a primary suite with a private bath and walk-in closet, while the spacious great room—complete with built-ins and a fireplace—connects seamlessly to a modern kitchen finished with granite countertops, stainless appliances, and ample storage. Upstairs, two freshly painted bedrooms with new carpet are joined by an unfinished flex space, ready to evolve into additional living area or a fifth bedroom. Outside, a landscaped and fully fenced yard sets the scene for everyday gatherings, with a new patio, outdoor kitchen, screen porch, and firepit. Community amenities include a pool, tennis, clubhouse, boat ramp, and gated security, keeping lake life close at hand.

Steps from the shoreline of the Wando River, 145 Low Tide Court sits in Wando Village, a vibrant waterfront community with a deep water dock. A modest foyer sets a distinctive tone, lit by a pre‑WWI brass Art Nouveau ceiling lamp with hand‑painted glass shades. From there, the home opens dramatically into an expansive open‑concept space designed to be shaped by color, light, furnishings, and daily rhythm. Create a conversation area, a family gathering space in front of the fire, formal dining beneath a colorful 1930s Pate de Vere chandelier, or a sunny study and reading room overlooking the garden. In the chef’s kitchen, an oversized island with quartz countertops anchors the room, while custom 10′ cabinets provide generous storage and prep space. It’s a setting that invites personal expression, morning to evening.
