## Unspoiled Nature, Pure Privacy & Oceanfront Conservation Living
Located just north of the Isle of Palms across Dewees Inlet, Dewees Island is an exclusive 1,200-acre private barrier island sanctuary dedicated to environmental preservation. Accessible only by private passenger ferry or private boat, Dewees Island offers an intentional retreat from modern congestion with no paved roads, no commercial stores, and no gas-powered vehicles. Residents and guests travel along crushed-shell lanes exclusively by electric golf cart, bicycle, or foot. With only 150 platted homesites and over 65% of the island permanently protected in conservation easements, Dewees represents one of the lowest-density oceanfront communities on the Atlantic Seaboard.
## 1. The Dewees Island Lifestyle & Logistics
* Private Ferry Transit: Served by an hourly passenger ferry from the Isle of Palms Marina (50 41st Avenue, Isle of Palms, SC 29451), a scenic 20-minute crossing across the Intracoastal Waterway.
* Community Amenities at Huyler House: Features a clubhouse, saltwater pool, tennis and pickleball courts, member guest suites, and an environmental nature center.
* Outdoor Recreation: Over three miles of uncrowded Atlantic beach, inshore fishing, crabbing docks along Lake Timicau, and miles of shaded nature trails.
## 2. Sustainable Coastal Architecture & Ownership
Homes on Dewees Island are custom-designed to coexist with the maritime forest canopy, utilizing modest footprints, dark-sky turtle-friendly lighting, rainwater catchment, and heavy timber pilings engineered for coastal resilience.
