Travel & Places to Stay

There are a few options for staying on Kiawah. Through the resort, you can stay at The Sanctuary Hotel or rent a house/villa. You could also a use third party rental service like Akers Ellis, Sweetgrass Rentals, or Airbnb, etc to rent houses/condos. Of note, these rentals do not include resort amenities. Otherwise, you could stay right outside the resort at the Andell Inn.

Travel Note

On island transportation

Most activities are within walking distance on Kiawah island, and we definitely recommend renting a bike for your stay. It is one of our favorite ways to explore the island and bop around from the tennis courts, to the golf courts, then to the beach, and maybe an ice cream at the Sanctuary! For all guests staying through Kiawah Island Resort there is also a complimentary door-to-door transportation to any resort restaurant or amenity across the 10-mile barrier island. You can call to reservice using extension 82900 to request a complimentary ride. Please allow 15-20 minutes for service. The shuttle service ends at 11PM. The shuttles can be used for transportation to and from all wedding events 😊
