Just a short drive from the historic city of Charleston lies the beautiful island of Kiawah, a privately gated beachfront resort community. Carefully designed to preserve the island's semitropical beauty, Kiawah Island's collection of privately owned properties blend artfully with the natural landscape. Kiawah's environmentally sensitive design encourages peaceful coexistence between the island's wildlife and modern convenience, with a variety of shops and restaurants. The island's wide beach, maritime forest, and sweeping sand dunes take center stage. Visitors flock to Kiawah for a serene and uncrowded retreat where they're apt to spot any number of deer, osprey, great blue heron and loggerhead turtles.
Kiawah Island's natural beauty is unsurpassed and the main attraction is the hard-packed ten miles of sandy beach. Sloping gently into the surf, the Kiawah beach is an ideal spot for swimming, beachcombing and sunbathing. Taking a dip in the Atlantic Ocean is free fun! There are no general use pools on Kiawah Island, so if pool access is important, please be sure to request a property which offers a neighborhood swimming pool. 2- and 3-bedroom cottages with pool access are available. It is important to know that none of the neighborhood pools are heated.
The beach is also perfect for jogging or bike riding, as are the Island's 30+ miles of bike trails extending from one end of the island to the other and winding through dense woodlands and along hidden waterways. The 21-acre Night Heron Park also features basketball and volleyball courts, soccer fields, a nature center, and a fitness trail complete with cardio and strength training stations.
With five championship courses designed by some of the industry's heavyweights, Kiawah has staked its claim in the golf world as a world-class destination. The topped-ranked Ocean Course, designed by Pete Dye, was featured in the movie The Legend of Bagger Vance. Consistently names one of the top 100 golf resorts in the world, the island is legendary amongst world golfers.
It's no secret that Kiawah is a favorite family destination. Besides the island's natural beauty and the unparalleled opportunity for casual relaxation and unstructured fun, there are also programs designed to help guests and their children maximize their vacation experience. A fully supervised day camp is available in the summer, and teen activities range from comedy improv workshops to scavenger hunts and much more.
Just 40 minutes away lies historic Charleston, South Carolina, chock-full of attractions and tours. Sample local seafood and Lowcountry fare at any number of great dining establishments. And shopping? A variety of open-air markets , haute couture boutiques, and interesting antique shops beckon. No matter what your interests, there's something for you at Kiawah Island.

“can't wait to go back”
The beach is spectactular
“Had a lovely time”
We enjoyed our stay. We thought the condo was very clean and was in a great location, a 2 minute walk to the beach. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you would need for a long stay. The decor was a bit outdated, but it was still very clean. There is a great terrace to sit out, we even saw a deer right under our terrace. Ours did not have an ocean view, but we did notice some did. The washer and dryer were a plus. Would definately go back.
“Great place to stay near Charleston”
We really enjoyed staying on Kiawah Island! The condo we stayed in was beautiful - right on a lagoon and within 5 minutes walking distance to the beach. I recommend that you bring or rent bikes to ride all around. The island is flat and the bike trails are exceptional. Charleston is about 30 minutes away - kind of confusing to get to because of all the bridges and roads that change names but very doable once you figure it out. It's a great city filled with history.
“nice villa!”
very comfortable, bigger than expected, great customer service.
“We loved our stay at Resort Quest on Kiawah Island. We would definitely stay here again .”
Very nice, comfortable, clean, and private. One of the best we have stayed in.
“Excellent accomadations”
I was nervous about the trip as we had never been to SC before, nor stayed at any Resortquest facility. I was very impressed with the villa we rented. It was close to the ocean, and very clean and comfortable. We did have a maintance issue, which was handled quickly. Overall, a very nice choice.
“my wife was pleased”
Most important to me the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the space and comfort of ours Villa was great. Would love to make a return trip.
“Better than expected.”
I was expecting a decent villa, however this was better than expected. There was three adults sharing this space and we never felt crowded. It was a good experience.
“Huge Villa”
The resort grounds were very clean and well-maintained. Our Villa was great, but a bit dated. The bedroom had a musky smell, but everything else was fantastic. Huge porch, fully equipt kitchen...I could go on.
“Value”
Excellent value for the dollar. Great site for the mature - quiet and controlled
