4843 Williams Island Drive, Little River, South Carolina
Inside the gates of Paradise Island, on the deep-water side of the channel, this newly finished waterfront residence stacks three stories of board-and-batten porches over its own private boat lift. The pool was custom designed for the lot. The dock is shared. The Intracoastal is yours every morning.
"The lift is yours. The dock is shared. The Intracoastal is your front yard, and the gate keeps it that way."
Williams Island Drive sits along the deep-water side of Paradise Island, a gated community on the Intracoastal Waterway between Little River and the Calabash channel. The home at 4843 was finished in 2023 to take maximum advantage of the lot. Three stacked porches face the water. A private boat lift is in. A shared dock is steps away.
Inside, the great room is open to the kitchen, both wrapped in custom cabinetry that extends to the ceiling. The quartz countertops carry through to a waterfall island. Luxury vinyl plank runs through the main level, with tile in the wet rooms. Designer lighting throughout. A gas fireplace anchors the great room. Stainless appliances. The kind of finish package a buyer would otherwise spec themselves.
Five bedrooms, four and a half baths, 3,157 square feet over three levels. Two-car garage. The pool was custom-designed for this lot, not dropped in from a catalog. Paradise Island is secured behind its own gate, and HOA dues run about $100 a month. Outside the gate, you are four minutes from Hwy 17 and ten from the North Myrtle Beach strand. Inside the gate, the channel is steps away.
This is the moment. The private boat lift is in. The shared dock is steps from the back door. The Intracoastal Waterway runs from the back of the property all the way to Charleston in one direction and Wilmington in the other. Few Paradise Island lots have this configuration.
Not a kit, not a drop-in. The pool was designed for this footprint, hugging the property line so the back patio still opens to the water. Coastal Carolina afternoons, private.
Quartz countertops throughout. Custom cabinetry to the ceiling. Stainless appliances. Designer lighting. Luxury vinyl plank on the main floors, tile in the wet rooms. No renovation list, no contractor calls.
The architecture stacks covered porches on the ground, second, and third floors, each with wood ceilings. The top porch reads the Intracoastal best. The ground porch reads the pool best. The middle porch is the daily one.
Paradise Island is a secured, gated Intracoastal community. The HOA covers the gate and the common amenities for one hundred dollars a month. Low enough to forget. High enough to keep the gate working.
The math, before the meeting. Adjust down payment, rate, and term. The monthly comes through live.
Paradise Island is a small, gated waterfront community on the Intracoastal Waterway, between Little River and the Calabash channel. The boats leave from your own slip and come back to it.
Cherry Grove Pier sits ten minutes south. Calabash, the seafood town, is six minutes north. North Myrtle Beach is fifteen minutes by car, less by boat. Hwy 17 is four minutes from the gate, but the gate doesn't hear it.
The Intracoastal at this stretch is deep enough for a cruiser, calm enough for a kayak, and busy enough on a Saturday to remind you why you bought here.
We arrange private showings inside the gate. Leave a name and a way to reach you, and Basil will confirm a window that works for the channel and for you.
