Where the Crawdads Sing

  • 8 guests

  • 3 bedrooms

  • 3 bathrooms

Set up on one of the rocking chairs on the clapboard porch, watching the sun streak the flat water pink and orange, and listen to the creek and croak of the marsh wildlife at twilight. This beautiful home has been designed to make the most of the unique marsh views with huge picture-frame windows dominating the double-height Great Room. The canary-yellow and deep blue motif gives off a fun, holiday vibe with lavish chandelier and floral upholstery touches. The funky kitchen has loads of prep space on the granite-topped counters and central island. The 6-seater dining table is tucked into a side nook with floor to ceiling marsh views. A classy, wood-paneled den comes with a curated selection of books for quiet time and a mahogany desk provides a remote working space. The sprawling master suite has a huge king-sized bed, private balcony overlooking the marsh, and a luxurious roll-top bath in the en-suite. Over 30 miles of hiking and biking trails cover Kawiah Island’s diverse habitat. World-class golfing, tennis courts and kayaking centres are all on your doorstep.

Local guide


About Johns Island

Johns Island is the largest in South Carolina – a sprawling expanse of rivers, creeks, and swamplands, just 11 miles from Downtown Charleston. The vibe is super laid back, with sleepy hamlets hosting craft breweries and brewpubs with cornhole in the backyard. It’s the scenery that really draws you in. Towering oaks with swathes of moss line the roads, the most famous being the ancient Angel Oak at the heart...
