Make Kiawah Island your next getaway

Kiawah Island is a place where untouched beaches, maritime forests, and winding bike trails come together to offer the ultimate lowcountry escape. Just 25 miles south of Charleston, this barrier island is known for its upscale charm, world-class golf courses, and miles of uncrowded shoreline. Whether you’re catching a sunrise over the Atlantic, teeing off on the Ocean Course, or biking beneath moss-draped oaks, there’s no better way to enjoy Kiawah Island than from the comfort of a Vacasa vacation rental.

Recent Kiawah Island guest reviews

The property was very nice in all regards. All attempts to deal directly with the property management company were disappointing or impossible.
MA A. | Nov 2025
The home had everything we needed and it was comfortable and clean. The location is great, it’s an easy bike ride to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked. We would stay here again!
