See How Shawn Surprised Me With a Trip For Thanksgiving in 1987!

Play Video

Thanksgiving doesn’t always have to mean turkey and football. I remember one Thanksgiving back in 1987  when Shawn and I decided to do something different. I came home from work and saw a new car in the driveway. I thought, “What the heck? Did Shawn buy a new car without telling me?” But no, it turns out he had rented it for a surprise trip down to Tampa, Florida. 

We ended up in this beautiful oceanfront suite—an unexpected upgrade from the regular room we booked. Instead of the usual holiday chaos, we spent our days by the pool, listening to a live band, and simply enjoying each other’s company. That spontaneous Thanksgiving, just the two of us, became one of our most cherished memories.

This year, why not create your own unforgettable Thanksgiving escape on Kiawah Island? Our intimate properties are perfect for couples looking to enjoy a peaceful holiday, away from the usual hustle and bustle.
