About Dennis Garapic

Double Dunes are are owned by the Conway family, formerly of Cleveland Ohio. They fell in love with the south while living for some years in Asheville, North Carolina. Charleston was a favorite destination even then. Peter Conway is a partner in the local real estate firm of Akers and Ellis, and manages several Kiawah properties on behalf of his wife and two daughters.

We don’t operate rental units – we open our homes to new friends. If you stay in our home we want you to feel right at home yourself. If we accomplish that, we have succeeded. We believe that you will find each of our homes to be the perfect base for exploring Kiawah and having the vacation of a lifetime. If there is anything you need, just let us know!

Double Dunes is managed by family friend Dennis Garapic. Dennis and Peter came together to Kiawah to play golf, and to watch the 2007 PGA Senior tournament on the island. Kiawah has gotten into Dennis’ blood, and managing Windswept gives him an ironclad reason to be a frequent visitor.

Dennis Garapic purchased this villa in 2011
Why Dennis Garapic chose Kiawah Island

We became enchanted with Kiawah one spring break when we drove up the east coast from Florida looking for the perfect place for a second home. When we arrived on Kiawah, we knew our search was over. It wasn’t any one particular thing – it was everything. For the girls, it was the beach. For Peter, it was the golf, and the biking. For Mary, it was the fact that the island is a nature conservancy. Alligators, turtles, bobcats, oh my! And for all of us, it was the serenity of a Kiawah sunrise, and the dolphins playing on the strand at Captain Sam’s inlet.

What makes this villa unique

Double Dunes is unique.Where else can you sleep up to 20 folks right on the beach on Kiawah? Two villas side by side. The west beach location is extremely convenient. Freshfields is just minutes away, yet you are inside the security gate.
