Kiawah Island, South Carolina

Population: 1,163
Located in Charleston County

On the Coast of South Carolina, nestled between the surf of the Atlantic Ocean and the sweeping marshes of the mainland, lies a rare vacation paradise called Kiawah Island. Home of the internationally televised 2003 World Cup Golf Championship, Kiawah Island is located in Charleston County. The name Kiawah, pronounced KEE-a-wah, comes from the Indians who once lived here.

Kiawah Island has 10 miles of pristine, sun-swept beach. It has more beachfront than any individually planned resort community on the Eastern Seaboard. Villas, private homes, cottage, golf course facilities and resort are artfully woven into the natural landscape, allowing visitors to enjoy both the modern luxuries of a beautifully planned community and the serenity of a remote barrier island.

Just minutes away, historic Charleston, South Carolina offers 300 years of history, art and culture. You have access to fabulous restaurants, cultural activities, antiquities, historical attractions and top notch shopping.

Whether you¹re searching for the house of your dreams, a vacation retreat, or investment property, you will find the perfect home, cottage, or villa here on Kiawah Island. Choose from a variety of oceanfront, neighborhood, golf course, lagoon, tidal creek, or deep-water properties. Many with private pools, community pools, water access, and boat docks, and many have breathtaking views, great neighbors, and island charm.

Homes start at $125,000. This will buy a one bedroom villa, with approximately 600 square feet. A single family home with three or four bedrooms, and 2,500 square feet of living space will run about $850,000. Home prices are steep, but many people use these as investment properties initially, and then later on, live in them. Homes here rent easily and quickly for the vacation seasons.
