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.
