Dewees Island is more than a place. It is a way of living. Every detail, from unpaved roads to conservation-focused design, reflects a commitment to living lightly on the land.

Those who live and work here carry the full weight of preserving the natural ecosystem while ensuring daily life remains possible. Every service is built, managed, and funded by the people who call this community their own.

The Property Owners Association oversees daily life: ferry operations, staffing, infrastructure, safety, oversight, and environmental care.

The Dewees Utility Corporation sustains the water, sewer, and treatment systems that support every home, building, and fire response on the island.

Pristine beaches, community docks, a clubhouse, and other amenities provide simple comforts, while stewardship initiatives preserve the natural resources.

Dewees thrives because every decision is deliberate, proving wild places endure when people decide they are worth the effort.
