Kiawah Island Vacation Rental Villas

Kiawah Island is a unique and beautiful retreat just off the coast of Charleston, South Carolina. What makes this island unique? First, Kiawah Island has one of the few beaches on the east coast that runs from east to west and is south facing. Nestled in this sheltered area where the coast cuts inward, the surf on Kiawah is almost always gentle and calm.

Private villas are the only way to visit Kiawah IslandĀ kiawahislandgetaways.com , but there are only a few property management companies that you can rent from.

Second, Kiawah Island Golf Resort owns most of the island, including the only hotel on Kiawah, the five-diamond Sanctuary Hotel. The resort has carefully monitored the development on the island and limited its intervention in commercial activities. This has created a uniquely untouched environment with a maritime forest and native wildlife. You will not find fast food chains, outlet malls, nothing to mentally pull you out of the cocoon of the coastal beauty that is Kiawah Island.
