Jack Island is our community at low tide—active, connected, and full of movement. Set at the heart of our community, it’s surrounded by water in every direction, with Jack Island Pond at its center and the Kiawah River just beyond. Inspired by the Sea Islands’ historic fishing villages, this neighborhood offers a rare blend of waterfront character and easy access to many of the area’s favorite shared spaces.

Where the Community Gathers

This lively village center features trails that weave between homes and connect to nearby amenities, including the Spring House, dog park, neighborhood pier, and a collection of riverfront gathering spots.

A cool dip under the Lowcountry sun
A quiet sunset along the pier
One moment on land, the next on the water
Just beyond the front door, nature trails begin
Catching a little sunshine at the Spring House
