Here in the Lowcountry, the ebb and flow of the tides each day is our touchstone. We revere our waters for its bountiful sea life and we revel in the opportunities this glistening playground provides. So join me as we explore this marvelous island and waterway life on the Charleston Coast in the Lowcountry – from a peek inside spectacular homes on the Intracoastal Waterway, to a sunset boat cruise to a faraway inlet, to a glimpse of dolphins strand feeding on Morris Island. Dewees Island – Charleston’s most magical place you have probably never been to I’ve never fallen out of love with the Lowcountry, but Dewees Island always reminds me what a mad, deep, eternal love it is. Just 20 minutes by passenger ferry from the Isle of Palms marina, it is a world apart from that to which we’ve become accustomed.

New on the Market: A Waterway Dream – 42 Intracoastal Court As I snuggle into the couch by the roaring fire on my porch, cold chardonnay cradled in my hand, I look out over the water and muse over the last boats heading home to turn in for the night. Where did they go today? What grand adventure did they have? Carousing around the Harbor? Tying up at Morris Island? Meandering... The Mirabella V docks at the Charleston City Marina This gorgeous sloop is currently in port at the Charleston City Marina. Her name is Mirabella V and she’s the largest in the world at 247 ft long, with a beam of 48ft and a mast with a height of 292ft. She cost $50,000,000 to build. To put her mass and height in perspective, the tallest building in Charleston is... Having a Sunday Funday in Charleston – Nothing Could be Finer All work and no play makes Kristin a very dull woman. Thus, this past beautiful, clear, no precipitation in sight Sunday afternoon, my husband and I decided on the spur of the moment that a Charleston Sunday Funday was in order. So we rang up his brother and girlfriend, found out they were happy to oblige, and we were on... Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island & Folly Beach – Are They Coming Back? Since it’s the summer and the beach is on almost everyone’s mind, I thought I’d do a post about our island real estate and how it has fared over the past 10 years. In doing my monthly newsletter in which I compare year over year sales, AND of course from just paying attention to what’s going on, I have noticed... Sometimes all we need is this… Just Another January Day in Charleston Since the high was in the mid-60s the past weekend, we jumped at the opportunity to get out on the water and enjoy a spectacular blue day. My husband, his brother and I hauled my kayak to Shem Creek, rented two others from Coastal Expeditions and paddled our way out to Crab Bank in the middle of Charleston Harbor. Crab...
