Located just south of Charleston, South Carolina, the Kiawah Island Golf Resort is an eco-friendly luxury resort along 10 miles of pristine beach. There are five championship golf courses, pools with water slides, and an on-site nature center (with birds, snakes, and alligators) within this resort, occupying most of the 10,000 acres of the island. Rooms range from one bedroom options to whole house rentals, some of which are at The Sanctuary hotel. The property is packed with features -- a spa, bike rentals, fitness center, markets, restaurants -- but some guests complain about expensive food and a crowded feel during peak season.

This large seaside resort and golf course provides an opulent getaway in the style of a historical southern estate. It is situated on Kiawah, a barrier island 15 miles south of Charleston, South Carolina. The 90-hole golf course attracts a large number of sports enthusiasts, many of whom bring their families along. The resort offers elegant hotel rooms, independent villas, and freestanding rental homes. There are a large number of creative family activities and events organized specifically for teens.
