Kiawah Island Vacation Rental FAQs:

What are the top activities to enjoy on Kiawah Island?

Kiawah Island is a perfect playground for those who truly love the great outdoors. It starts with Kiawah’s ten miles of pristine beach, ideal for swimming, collecting seashells, or relaxing with a good book.

For the golfers, you’re in luck. Five of the island’s courses are ranked some of the best in the country. The Ocean Course, in particular, has an esteemed status from hosting PGA legends and iconic tournaments.

Want to stay closer to nature? Hop on a bike or lace up your shoes, as trails weave through forests and marshland where you might spot deer, herons, or even a gator or two. If you prefer your thrills on the water, you can paddle through tidal reeks in a kayak or on a paddleboard for an up-close view of the island’s wild side.

From tennis courts to guided tours, every detail is thoughtfully designed for you to explore. So whether you’re chasing adrenaline or serenity, Kiawah has you covered.

 

When is the best time to visit Kiawah Island?

Each season brings its unique charm, and it all depends on the experience you’re after. Spring and fall are fan favorites, with mild temperatures, fewer crowds, and perfect days for golfing or getting lost in nature.

Summer brings the heat and the crowds, making it the busiest season. However, it’s also the best time for experiencing long and sunny days on the beach. Classic island buzz.

If you’re drawn to peace and quiet, winter is the season for you. Cooler days make for dreamy walks and slow mornings, plus often a more budget-friendly time to visit. No matter when you choose to visit, it’s all about finding what suits you between the weather, the crowds, and the cost.

 

How do I get to Kiawah Island and move around once there?

Kiawah Island is about 30 miles away from Charleston International Airport. Upon arrival at Charleston International, it’s a scenic 45-minute drive to the island, where you’ll pass a gated entrance. There’s no public transit, so make sure to plan for either renting a car or taking the shuttle.

Once you’re on Kiawah, having your own set of wheels is ideal, especially if you’re planning on getting around and exploring. The island's vast bike trails make it easy to rent one and cruise trails that link beaches, golf courses, and restaurants. Walking works just fine for short hops in central areas.

To maximize the full island experience, it is recommended to have some kind of ride to keep your visit to Kiawah Island smooth and simple.

 

What is the weather like on Kiawah Island throughout the year?

Hitting temperature highs in the 80’s and 90’s, expect a hot and humid summer due to Kiawah Island’s subtropical weather. Expect sunshine with a side of afternoon storms on your beach day visits during this season.

Winter, on the other hand, tends to be fairly mild. Daytime temps are in the 50’s and 60’s, and nights rarely dip near freezing. This time of the year is ideal for golf, long walks, or hanging out and enjoying the quiet season.

As for spring and fall, highs reach the 70’s with lower humidity and light rainfall keeps the island lush and vibrant. These seasons are a perfect time for a wide variety of island activities.

Packing for the season is a must. Prepare swimsuits in the summer and light jackets for the rest of the year.

 

Where should I stay on Kiawah Island for the best experience?

If you’re craving a full-on luxury experience, the Kiawah Island Golf Resort offers the service you’re looking for. They offer deluxe restaurants, bars, and experiences all within a short distance away from the golf course and the beach.

Vacation homes and condos offer more space and privacy. There’s plenty available across the island, with many featuring ocean views, back-deck sunsets, or trail access right outside your doorstep. The ideal choice for families or larger groups.

Choosing your beach getaway is crucial to having the best Kiawah Island experience. Staying near the Sanctuary leans more towards the classic, high-end hotel atmosphere, while rentals around the east and west ends of the island are more for seclusion or staying close to your favorite course.

It all comes down to what you want your vacation to be: the resort treatment, beachfront living, or a simple tranquility.
