About this home

A rare opportunity in rural James Island to own a coastal cottage WITH the flexibility to build a larger primary residence in front of it. Or don't & just live in it! Just 3 miles from Folly Beach; bike there in the summer, it's faster than by car! Keep your boat right here (no HOA) tucked in the back of this .40-acre lot which is across from the MARSH. Such a peaceful area that takes you back in time you'll see wild turkeys, coastal birds, & deer, this existing tiny home (classified as an ADU) offers immediate use as a primary residence, guest cottage, or income-producing rental. The current home features wood-look tile flooring, updated windows, a tankless water heater, mini-split HVAC, & a roof*. The front porch/deck was replaced November 2025. SO MUCH flexibilty with this property--The town has verified a home can be built in front of this existing cottage. Steady ocean breezes and salty air in a location that feels relaxed yet incredibly convenient to the James Island Library,
