Waterfront Vacation Rentals in Daniel Island, Charleston SC
Waterfront in the Charleston area means golden marsh at sunset, shrimp boats gliding past the dock, and pelicans commuting over your morning coffee — the water becomes the entertainment.
The Collection
Vacation Rentals in Daniel Island
Riverfront trails between two rivers, a walkable village center, and planned-community ease twenty minutes from the steeples. Our Daniel Island waterfront collection is curated around exactly that pairing — homes chosen because the waterfront promise holds up in person, hosted by locals who answer by name.
Waterfront spans harborfront, creekfront, and marshfront homes — each with a different rhythm. Tell us whether you want a dock for fishing, kayak access, or simply the view, and we'll steer you right.
Bikes handle the island's trails and village; downtown Charleston and the beaches are 20–25 minutes by car. Join the guest list, tell us your dates and party size, and we'll match you with the right waterfront home in Daniel Island the moment calendars open.

The planned community with soul
Daniel Island is Charleston's newest neighborhood — a master-planned community on a former cattle island between the Cooper and Wando rivers, fifteen minutes from both downtown and Mount Pleasant. It is manicured in a way the rest of Charleston deliberately is not: wide sidewalks, a town center with shops and restaurants, two championship golf courses, and the Credit One Stadium that hosts WTA tennis and concerts.
For guests, Daniel Island offers a resort-like calm with none of the resort pricing — pools, bike paths, and a walkable village center, all within easy reach of the peninsula's dining and the islands' beaches.
What to do
The two Rees Jones golf courses (Ralston Creek and Beresford Creek) are among the region's best-maintained public-access layouts. The island's trail system connects neighborhoods to the waterfront, and kayak launches on the Wando River offer marsh paddling without the open-water exposure of the harbor.
The town center clusters restaurants, a brewery, and a farmers market (Thursdays in season) around a walkable square — enough to spend an evening without leaving the island.
Staying here
Our Daniel Island homes are ideal for golf trips, tennis weekends, and families who want a quiet base with easy access to everything. Filter by pool or family-friendly, or join the guest list.
