The post Akers Ellis Real Estate & Rentals Presents A Chic Kiawah Island Home appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Those looking for the blend of beachy vacation with southern hospitality need not look further than South Carolina’s Kiawah Island. The scenery of this simple setting is beautiful with pale colored hues in the sky and dogwood scattered along the beachfront. For those looking to getaway without 2 hours in an airport plus three hours on the plane, or, worse, 7 hours in a car with the kids during traffic, just buy a house here. Particularly, the house at 58/59 Surfsong Road.

A private island just off the coast of Charleston in South Carolina, offers 20 miles of beautiful beaches, exclusive to those living on the island, including a beach club offering poolside and Oceanside dining options. The space also includes athletic activities like gold courses, biking and hiking trails, a first class spa, skeet shooting, and of course, boating and kayaking options. For dining options, the area is also home to Voysey’s, run by Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio.

At 1.35 acres, the property is large enough to accommodate a family compound with abundant space for extended family and friends, a very private beachfront estate, or 2 separate homes.  58 Surfsong is currently an undeveloped beachfront homesite, while 59 Surfsong has a very charming 3,800 square foot home on the adjoining property.
