Wild Dunes

Located on the northeastern end of the Isle of Palms, Wild Dunes is a world unto itself. This gated, 1,600-acre resort community has a mix of full-time homes, short-term vacation rentals, and hotels, along with a rising tide of dining options and exquisite amenities. Wild Dunes is particularly well known for its two Tom Fazio-designed golf courses and its sizable tennis center, which boasts 12 traditional clay courts and four pickleball courts. Residences here range from small one-bedroom condominiums all the way up to palatial mansions. Many owners rent out their properties when they’re not in residence—Wild Dunes’ team has a whole division devoted to managing on-premises rentals. There's also bike rentals, four pools, and a spa.

Living in Charleston

Greater Charleston, which includes the city’s suburban neighbor of Mount Pleasant as well as the nearby barrier islands, is the epitome of southern charm. Charleston has a place for every mood, with relaxed beach towns just across the water from historic neighborhoods boasting cobblestone streets and colorful row houses. The subtropical climate of the South Carolina Lowcountry is a heaven for plant lovers, with a distinct fragrance perfumed by the abundant jasmine and gardenia shrubs as well as the smell of the surrounding marshes’ pluff mud. To outsiders, the latter might seem like an odd thing to love—it’s made of decomposing swamp grass and sea life—but Charlestonians know that the oozy goo and its scent is as central to the city’s identity as the famously delicious oysters that live in it. That’s Charleston for you—a city where the locals are passionate about their idiosyncratic and layered history.
