Great position in Freshfields Village with its array of shops and restaurants. Not as swanky as The Sanctuary- but that is reflected in the price. Short drive to all local golf courses. Regular live foyer Jazz and some funky art

The island is beautiful and designed for relaxation.
The island is beautiful and designed for relaxation. We did not golf but it is big there. There are many rules on the island which my friend did not like and she thought the people were uppity. We only had bikes and you really do need a car to get groceries and in case of rain. You will get stuck there without transportation. Also since we did not have a car, I did not print the pass that was sent to us by our Airbnb host. We took a Lyft to Kiawah and had to pay a $20 entrance fee to the island. Had we taken an Uber or printed out the car pass, we could have avoided this fee. We were not told about that. Overall, I would go again and be better prepared the next time.

Such a beautiful place. Quiet and safe. The parks are nice and just strolling through the island is wonderful. We enjoyed the beach and going for ice-cream treats. Having a grocery store on Kiawah was super helpful.

A friend called Kiawah Island, a constructed paradise, and it is. It's a beautiful location, with verdant golf courses, roads lined with mature trees that provide an emerald canopy, and sand finer than sugar.

The beach was fantastic!
The beach was fantastic! This place is just a very short walk to the beach and no beach pass was necessary, nor was there a fee to go to the beach. It is near a small village called Fresh Fields, which was where we ate most of our meals, because any other restaurants were far away. But there was enough variety for the three days and nights we were there. Folly Beach was fun, too, with plenty of restaurants, and a walk to the lighthouse is a must. Gorgeous beaches there, too. Three to four nights is perfect. You need a car to get around.

Beautiful place!
Beautiful place! A unique experience, being a gated, planned community with no commercial development on the island itself. A very quiet, peaceful place with lots of vegetation, great network of bike trails and beautiful beaches. You can bike on the beach which is fun, and there is almost no traffic. Shopping center just 10 minutes from the front gate with everything you need and more. Very clean and well-kept place, we spent 3 days there and I didn't see any trash on the trails or beaches. It does have a "country club" feel which took getting used to but overall we enjoyed it quite a bit.

Need to have more restaurants.
Need to have more restaurants. Restaurants that are there are over-priced. Need competition. I don't mind spending money when the food and service was good, but we often walked away feeling disappointed with both.

The charm of Savannah GA with beaches akin to Outer Banks. The property is conveniently located within a 5 minute walk to the beach and only a 10 minute drive to a grocery and shops. The house had everything we needed for a long weekend trip with 4 kids all under 10. The beaches feel semi private since there is no street parking near the access bridges. The houses near this property are unbelievable. So over the top we thought we were going to spot a celebrity on their balcony or taking a walk through the neighborhood.
