About the Area > Kiawah Island

On the Coast of South Carolina , down an avenue of oaks several miles long, nestled between the surf of the Atlantic Ocean and the sweeping marshes of the mainland, lies a rare paradise called Kiawah Island. The community boasts five championship golf courses, including the world-renowned Ocean Course, host of the 2007 Senior PGA Championship and the 2012 PGA Championship.

Kiawah Island has 10 miles of pristine, sun-swept beach. More beachfront than any individually planned resort community on the Eastern Seaboard and was voted "most romantic spot and best spot to walk the beach" by Southern Living's editorial staff.

Villas, private homes, cottages, golf, tennis and resort community facilities are artfully woven into the natural landscape, allowing residents to enjoy both the modern luxuries of a beautifully planned community and the serenity of a remote barrier island.

Located between Kiawah and Seabrook Islands , Freshfields Village is a commercial center with locally-owned businesses, shops and restaurants reminiscent of a small town. The village green offers farmer's markets, concerts and local talent shows. A variety of architectural styles and exterior materials were used to build Freshfields Village , so that the center appears as if it was built over time. You can shop for groceries in an upscale supermarket, buy clothes and gifts in a number of botiques, buy sporting goods for your next outing, or relax for dinner. You never have to leave the serenity of your island life.
