About South Island
Plantation
South Island Plantation, located between Winyah Bay and the Sampit River, is a waterfront and golf-course Georgetown neighborhood with tidal marsh views and private, tree-lined lanes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the South Island Road entrance, where live oaks, palmettos, and long driveways set a quiet, coastal tone. Homes lean Lowcountry in feel, with broad porches, elevated foundations, and views framed by wetlands. Daily rhythms track the water, with docks, creeks, and open sky shaping the landscape. Nearby, the Rice Museum and the Strand Theater anchor local culture, while Buzz’s Roost adds a casual waterfront table.
