Overview

On Kiawah luxurious homes and homesites are as much at home in the natural environment as the famed Ocean Course Pete Dye added 20 years ago. The habitat here is as hospitable to white-tailed deer, bobcat, and migrating seabirds, as it is to the guests at The Sanctuary, the Island’s five-star hotel on the Atlantic.

An award-winning master plan has long set Kiawah Island apart from all other coastal communities on the Eastern Seaboard. Guided by keen respect for nature and a strong emphasis on preservation of serene landscapes, Kiawah’s developer has worked for decades to nurture the Island’s maritime forest, sand dunes, and marshes as well as the visual allure of its 10-mile beach.

For many families, having a home on Kiawah affords the setting for creation of lasting bonds between generations. There’s no substitute for the joy of childhood summers and holidays spent learning to throw a cast net, maneuver a canoe, catch blue crabs, master a rod and reel, or identify some of the 300 species of birds who, like property owners, love to spend as much time as possible on the Island.

As a Kiawah Island homeowner, your days are enriched by relationships with neighbors who have lived all over the world. As a member of The Kiawah Island Club, you’ll enjoy the amenities and venues that allow you to pursue passions ranging from golf, tennis, and squash to health and wellness. If you are one of those whose good fortune has allowed you to enjoy this uncommon sea island you will soon understand why Kiawah is the best place to spend the best days of your life.
