2BR Oceanfront Shipwatch Villa! High-Speed Internet!
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Shipwatch
We purchased our first villa, a 1-bedroom, beachside Seascape (3563) and Kiawah Island Getaways was born. Once we got our feet wet with the villa rental business, it was a like a fever for us, and every year for five years straight, we purchased a villa. We both really enjoyed furnishing, decorating and maintaining the villas - not to mention the newfound fun of meeting and talking to all sorts of people about Kiawah.
Owner's Map of Shipwatch
In 1985 Shawn and I drove to Kiawah in our VW Bug convertible and Shawn introduced me to Kiawah. I remember stepping over the dune boardwalk out in front of the Kiawah Island Inn and seeing Kiawah's wide, sandy beach for the first time - it was so brilliant it practically danced before my eyes. It was during this vacation that the two of us decided to set our sights on moving to this beautiful and fascinating place permanently.
It was not until 1988 that our dreams came true and our U-Haul rattled across the Kiawah Island bridge (at that time it was nothing more than a wood-planked bridge). For the next four years we rented a 1-bedroom villa overlooking a lagoon, 4251 Mariner's Watch. Shawn was so thrilled to be living on the island that he spent the additional money required for the personalized South Carolina license plate "KIAWAH" (which we still own today). We both worked in Charleston and had a difficult time battling the traffic getting to our jobs, yet every weekend you could find us either cleaning villas (for other folks) or sunning at the beach.
In 1992, we began building our home on the island at 134 Conifer Lane. During the design phase, I gave birth to our first son Benjamin. He arrived 2 months early in an ambulance outside of the Kiawah Island Fire Station. In 1994, Theodore, our 2nd son was born. Theodore had a more traditional birth on the 9th floor of the St. Francis Xavier Hospital, overlooking the Charleston rooftops on Calhoun Street.
