House on the water in Mount Pleasant SC The day begins with a cup of coffee as you settle yourself in a comfortable chair, read the paper, and enjoy the peace and serenity of daybreak overlooking spectacular views of the Wando River and, depending on the time, the marsh grasses filling with the tide. This is a “soul fulfilling ” kind of morning – one where the day unfolds in an unhurried way and all you have to contemplate is what kind of bait you’ll fish with today. The Wando River is home to some truly great fishing, whether you head toward the Charleston Harbor, or the quieter coves of the Upper Wando. There’s a certain sense of freedom that comes with living in the ultra-private enclave of Sandy Point, not far from historic downtown Charleston SC, with a dock of your own on the deep water of the Wando River and your boat waiting at the end, ready for your next outing.

With the cooler packed with snacks and drinks you head out for a day on the water. After a few hours of boating and fishing you head to The Wando River Grill – the perfect place to tie up for lunch. As the afternoon winds down and you start cruising home, the house beckons with its broad, comfortable lanai and screened porches offering a shady, breeze-filled spot to cool off. After a day of swimming and playing, the kids retreat upstairs to the media room to unwind with a movie on the projector screen. Meanwhile the rest of the family enjoys drinks out on the porch.

And, as evening approaches you take a sip of a tall ice cold sweet tea, cross the patio and settle into that very same chair. You gaze across the glassy water of the infinity pool as it melts into the yard beyond, onto the water of the Wando River with painted hues of burnt orange as the sun begins to set on the horizon. It’s a warm summer evening and the sounds of crickets and treefrogs fill the air. Maybe you watch children or grandchildren laughing, chasing fireflies in the yard. You think back on the day you’ve spent with your family in this amazing spot along the Wando River. 

As you look around at your family, your home, and your view, you realize that you are indeed living a charmed life. And, you will get to go to bed, wake up, and live it over again tomorrow.

NOTE:  Discover a life on the water that awaits in Mount Pleasant. Whether you’re living on the Wando River, Shem Creek, the Charleston Harbor, or any of the area’s many rivers, creeks, and tributaries you’ll never get tired of the water views.
