Kiawah Island is unlike any other vacation destination my family has visited. The beaches are extremely private, there are great dining options on-island and nearby, and the tennis facilities are awesome. The island has a resort-like feel to it, with daily fun-family events and world-class golf, tennis and dining, but also is emersed with wildlife, peace and quiet. Kiawah is also close to Charleston, a very vibrant and historic city. We enjoy visiting the South Carolina Aquarium and eating at Hanks, Coast, Amen Street, Pearlz, Blossom, and Halls. The shopping is fabulous! We have visited the island for almost twenty years and we always knew this was the perfect place for our second home.
