Kiawah Island Property Management
for High-End Homes
Boutique Property Management Since 2001
We manage high-end villas, condos, and homes on Kiawah Island’s beachside neighborhoods. For over two decades, we’ve helped homeowners like you protect their investment, boost rental income, and enjoy true peace of mind.
As a small, family-run company, we treat every home as if it were our own – ensuring it’s spotless, beautifully maintained, and perfectly presented for each guest. While larger agencies focus on volume, we focus on quality, giving your property the personal attention it deserves.
A Better Way to Care for and Earn From Your Kiawah Home
At Kiawah Island Getaways, we intentionally limit our portfolio to just 20 homes so we can give each one the attention it deserves. This boutique approach allows us to deliver exceptional guest experiences that translate into 30-40% higher revenue for our owners.
We take care of every detail – from maintenance and staging to bookings and guest communication – so you can relax knowing your home is in expert hands.

Can Kiawah Island Getaways help Owners renovate?
If your property needs a boost, we would love to help you with renovations or decorating improvements to increase rental income. In addition, we can provide the right contacts to get the work done.
Most villa and cottage regimes restrict renovation work to off-season. In order to take full advantage of the allowed construction period, your contractor should submit plans to the Town of Kiawah and your regime so they can be approved and permits issued by the end of August. Work should start as soon as allowed in October. All renovation work generally must be completed by the end of March. If it extends beyond that time, you may be fined by the regime or even asked to stop work.
