KIRE Launches New and Improved Kiawah.com

Kiawah Island Real Estate is pleased to introduce our revamped website. From your suggestions and feedback we designed a website that better captures the beauty and lifestyle of the Island. The new photography showcases fantastic images of beach, marsh, maritime forest, golf courses, and families enjoying Kiawah. We also revised content and made navigation simpler so it’s easy to find exactly what you need.

At Kiawah.com, you can sample almost everything that the Island has to offer in a fresh and engaging way. Through striking photos and expanded information resources, our new website offers a virtual Kiawah experience, practically bringing viewers to the Island before they’ve even left their monitors.

This new website, under development for nearly a year, was created to enhance Kiawah’s online market presence, and also to facilitate communications with all of its audiences. Morgan Eldridge, KDP’s director of marketing says, “We felt we had some good [communications] tools in place, but we wanted even better ways to define Kiawah’s essence and convey that in a persuasive manner.” Whether you’re new to Kiawah Island, or have lived here for years, you’ll frequently visit Kiawah.com to see what has changed.

A cornerstone of the new Kiawah.com is the Real Estate section where Kiawah properties for sale are showcased in a dynamic style. Searches are facilitated by multiple criteria and the efficient organization of comprehensive information, so buyers can zero in on properties specific to their preferences. They will also appreciate detailed information about the Charleston area, as well as the Island’s amenities, including the Clubs, beaches, The Sandcastle, golf, spas, shopping, and more.   

“The site is of real benefit to those looking to buy a home on the coast,” says Chris Drury, KIRE’s president, adding, “With 21 years of experience here, we have learned a great deal about what people want to know as they look for property and what’s important in helping them make one of the most significant purchasing decisions of their lives. We feel that Kiawah.com provides this in an informative and appealing way. The site is of tremendous benefit for those looking to buy a home on the coast. And it’s a great resource for our current property owners.”

The website team worked diligently to improve the look and the functionality of the website, but their most important goal was to impart Kiawah’s strong sense of community to their project. “We wanted a tool that would accurately capture and depict Kiawah’s allure, but we also thought it was important to provide an inclusive vehicle for the community; one that they’ll be proud of, point to, and say, ‘This is Kiawah,’ ” says Eldridge.

Nothing can quite compare to experiencing the Island first hand, but at Kiawah.com, you can come pretty close. Soon on the site, a new high-definition video called “It’s a Kiawah Life” will virtually bring the Island right to you. Spectacular images are coupled with interviews from the Kiawah Partners that tell the Island’s compelling story. We are very excited about this new opportunity!
