Fully Fenced Yard on James Island backing up to protected wetland

Fully Fenced
0.2 acres

The fenced in yard has comfy St. Augustine grass, several trees, and backs up to protected wetland (no neighbors behind the house). The yard is large enough to play fetch, get the zoomies out and enjoy a beautiful Charleston day. It’s also small enough that you can always have eyes on your pup(s) - kids are more than welcome too!! There are several benches, a sunken fire pit (we have a cover over it for safety- but can easily be lifted if you wish to use), water hose, table and outlets for use at all times. If needed/ requested, I can put up an umbrella for shade, set up a sprinkler, open the door for restroom use, etc. I work from home and am happy you accommodate, chat, or stay out of your way - whatever your preference is.

"Great yard with a high fence, shady areas, and friendly host!" more

Peaceful, Fully Fenced Yard in Shadowmoss

Fully Fenced
0.25 acres

Welcome to your pup’s private backyard oasis! This spacious, fully fenced 0.25-acre area offers plenty of room for dogs to run, sniff, and play freely. Surrounded by peaceful woods, the yard feels secluded and calm—perfect for dogs who prefer a quiet environment. You may even spot local wildlife or enjoy some birdwatching while your pup explores. Relax on the deck in Adirondack chairs or on the swing while your dog plays. There are plenty of tennis balls and a ball thrower available for extra fun. A dog bowl is provided—just bring your own water or fill up using the spigot by the front door. Please note: there is a pool on the property, but it is securely fenced off and not accessible to pets at this time. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac, this spot is ideal for an stress-free visit where you and your dog can unwind, play, and enjoy nature together. Note that I put sometimes to seeing another dog because there’s a beagle that lives way back in the house in the photo that is sometimes outside and will bark at the excitement. He is fenced in his own yard though.

"Quite and peaceful neighborhood. Will be going back soon." more

Fully fenced for your sniffs!

Fully Fenced
0.02 acres

Smallish, fully fenced yard with plenty of sniffs and enough room for fetch. Currently, one neighbor has a dog that could be out but is inside the majority of the time. And he’s very friendly. My dog is also reactive so it will be inside or off property when spot is available. Don’t mind you hanging out on the deck while you’re here.
