Waters Edge Townhomes in Folly Beach, SC

First Impressions

Waters Edge sits in one of Folly Beach’s most coveted waterfront pockets, where the setting is defined by river views, marsh light, and the easy cadence of island living. The community is made up of townhomes built in 2005, and the overall feel is polished, coastal, and intentionally low-maintenance. With the Folly River at the doorstep and the beach just a short stroll away, this is the kind of place where the scenery does a lot of the talking.

"Waterfront views and walkable island convenience define the everyday rhythm here."

Home Styles & Community Feel

The homes in Waters Edge lean into a refined beach-house look rather than anything overly ornate. Many feature hardwood floors, high ceilings, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and screened porches or private balconies that make the most of the water outlooks. The townhome layout is especially practical for coastal living, with en-suite bedrooms, main-level living in some floor plans, and garages large enough for vehicles, golf carts, bikes, and beach gear. Waterfront orientation is a major part of the appeal, and several homes also enjoy dock access, boat slips, or lift privileges that are rare along this stretch of Folly Beach.

Amenities & Daily Rhythm

Waters Edge has a distinctly recreational feel without losing its residential character. The standout amenities are the riverside pool, community dock, covered pier head, and floating dock, all positioned to take advantage of the marsh and river setting. That makes mornings feel unhurried and evenings especially scenic, whether you are watching boats pass by or taking in the sunset over the water. Center Street is close enough for an easy outing, and the beach is nearby as well, so the daily routine can shift naturally between the shoreline, dining, and a return to the dockside pool.

"It is a waterfront enclave built around views, boats, and effortless access to Folly’s most recognizable destinations."

Location & Schools

Waters Edge is set along West 2nd Street on Folly Beach, with historic downtown Charleston about 15 minutes away by the listing remarks. Center Street’s restaurants and shops are within minutes, and public beach access at 3rd Street West is also a short stroll from the community. Bert’s Market on East Ashley Avenue adds a convenient stop for essentials. School assignments commonly point to James Island Elementary, Camp Road Middle, and James Island Charter High, placing the community within the Charleston County school system and tying it to the broader James Island/Folly Beach corridor.
