About Wicklow

The ONLY Luxury Escape in the Heart of the Santee Delta!
Nestled in the untouched Santee Delta along South Carolina’s breathtaking Hammock Coast, Wicklow Hall is surrounded by hundreds of thousands of acres of privately protected wilderness and the nearby Francis Marion National Forest. We are just 15 minutes from historic downtown Georgetown, and only 50 minutes from the famous downtown Charleston!

Originally established in 1831, Wicklow Hall has been thoughtfully reimagined for the modern era, blending historic architecture with contemporary comforts. While preserving its original craftsmanship and integrity, the estate has been transformed into a one-of-a-kind luxury retreat, where past and present coexist beautifully.

Set on 10 private acres, Wicklow Hall features four distinct homes, each offering a unique blend of timeless character and modern luxury. A freshwater pond on the property is home to two resident alligators—Oscar, an 8-foot giant, and Miss Josephine, a young juvenile. While completely wild (and absolutely not to be fed), they’re fascinating to observe as they bask on the island.

For water lovers, we are just four minutes from a world-class boat launch, providing access to some of the richest fishing waters on the South Carolina coast. Guests are encouraged to bring their own boats or book a chartered fishing excursion with our expert captains—an experience that brings you up close to the untouched beauty of the Santee Delta.

Just 15 minutes away, the historic town of Georgetown awaits. Known as the gem of the Hammock Coast, Georgetown boasts world-class cuisine, from fresh-caught seafood to gourmet steaks and pasta. Stroll along the picturesque waterfront boardwalk, browse charming boutiques, or hunt for treasures in the many antique and specialty shops.
