Kiawah Island Real Estate
Homes and Condos for Sale on Kiawah Island, SC
Kiawah Island is located just 30 minutes south of historic downtown Charleston. Kiawah Island is one of three private resort communities in the Charleston area (another one of which is Seabrook Island, located just south of Kiawah Island). Kiawah Island attracts people who love golf, tennis, wildlife, and a private beach. Access to Kiawah Island is restricted to home owners and vacation renters of the island. The only public access to Kiawah Island is the county park, which is on the south tip of Kiawah Island and has paid admission. Kiawah Island is somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle of Charleston, but it's still just a short drive to downtown Charleston. There is a nice market (Freshfields Market) located between Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island with restaurants, a grocery store, banks, a sports store, clothing stores, and general stores. This market has made the area more appealing because residents now have easy access to all the necessities of life with no need to leave the beach.

More about Kiawah Island, South Carolina
One of Charleston's most exclusive resort communities, Kiawah Island is a perennial favorite for permanent residents and visitors alike. Along with Seabrook Island to the south, Kiawah Island is the destination for those looking for privacy, luxury, and recreation at a pristine location.
A modest thirteen square miles, Kiawah Island is currently home to approximately 1,200 permanent residents. This barrier island is an excellent location for those looking for a home where they can "get away from it all" but still be close to the culture and excitement of metropolitan Charleston. Driving from downtown to Kiawah Island takes about forty minutes, traveling through Johns Island.
As it is a private island, only home owners and those renting vacation units have truly unfettered access at Kiawah Island. While there is paid public access at the county park on the southern tip of the island, this is the only real exception to the privacy enjoyed by Kiawah Island's residents.
Kiawah Island's other great attraction is its internationally recognized recreation facilities. The Kiawah Island Golf Resort opened in 1974 and currently has five world-class golf courses to challenge the skill of novices and experts alike: the Ocean Golf Course, Turtle Point, Osprey Point, Oak Point, and Cougar Point. The Ocean Course has hosted not only the Senior PGA Championship, but also the Ryder Cup. The Kiawah Island Golf Resort was voted the "#2 Golf Resort in the U.S." by T+L Golf Magazine.
Along with golf, Kiawah Island is also home to world class tennis facilities (Tennis.com ranked it the "#2 U.S. Tennis Resort in the USA"), fine dining, spas, and miles of views for hiking, biking, or kayaking.
Because of Kiawah Island's numerous amenities and exclusivity, real estate is priced accordingly: the average home price on Kiawah Island is around one million dollars. However, high density units such as condominiums, duplexes and townhouses are also a popular choice and are priced much more affordably.
Kiawah Island is also an incredibly popular vacation spot for visitors from South Carolina, as well as from around the world. For those interested in purchasing a second home or vacation getaway at Kiawah Island, there is a brisk, year round market for these rental units. The demand for vacation rentals combined with the steady appreciation of real estate prices over the past ten years make Kiawah Island an excellent investment.
Things to do on Kiawah Island, SC
Kiawah Island is a choice vacation destination for celebrities and business executives who enjoy the privacy the island brings, the world class golf courses on Kiawah and Seabrook, and the top notch accommodations. Kiawah is just a 30 minute drive from historic Charleston, so there are plenty of options for entertainment if you decide to leave the island. Kiawah and Seabrook are both very different from the other beaches in Charleston because of the lower density development that has left so much of these islands natural. This makes Kiawah a great place for those who enjoy coastal wildlife and the serenity of nature. You will find miles of nature trails for walking and biking throughout Kiawah. With the Atlantic Ocean on one side and large expanses of marshes on the other, Kiawah is also a great place to kayak and swim. For those who like to fish, the north side of Kiawah Island is great for surf fishing, and the Bohicket Marina is just a short drive. Golf is Kiawah Island's biggest draw, because this is an area where you can literally play like the pros. Kiawah Island hosted the 1991 Ryder Cup, the 1997 and 2003 World Cup of Golf, and the 2007 PGA Seniors Cup. In addition to these titles, Kiawah Island's Ocean Course has been selected to host the 2012 PGA championship.
