A beautiful island with 10-miles of wide sandy beaches, Kiawah has an expansive maritime forest where nature blends seamlessly with the islands’ accommodations and activities. During a visit, it is common to spot a wide variety of wildlife including dolphins, alligators, deer, osprey, turtles, and great blue heron. Bike rentals are available to take advantage of the island’s 30 miles of bike trails through the forest and connecting to the beach. Kiawah Island's beach slopes gently into the surf, making it an ideal spot for swimming and sunbathing. The hard-packed sand is perfect for jogging or biking at low tide.
Located in the West Beach area, the villa is very convenient to a variety of shopping and dining options. Steps from the villa, the Straw Market includes a restaurant, ice cream shop and convenient island stores.
Just outside the Kiawah entry, Freshfields Village and Bohicket Marina & Yacht Club offer an assortment of boutiques, a full grocery store, restaurants and convenience services.
