Those unfamiliar with Kiawah Island might think that this is some place around Honolulu, but it’s actually a barrier island on the Atlantic Coast, just 25 miles southwest of Charleston, South Carolina. It offers 5 different neighborhoods, and if you ever buy one of the homes here, you can join the Kiawah Island Club. That’s a privilege, since it regularly ranks among the top clubs and golf resorts in the country.
Membership here can come through 2 different ways. One is if you buy a previously unsold homesite through Kiawah Island Real Estate. The other method is to buy a resale property from a current member of the club, who can then offer the membership as part of the sale.
Just keep in mind that there is a cap on the number of memberships, and it will depend on the club’s capacity to fulfill current membership demands.
