Charleston 

Sit high atop a horse-drawn carriage as candy-colored homes glide by, admire elaborate gardens, and dine Lowcountry style; this is Charleston, a remarkable journey through time, mere minutes from our island.



As a guest of Kiawah Island Golf Resort, you have at your fingertips a concierge who exists solely to make your stay at our Resort as rich and varied an experience as you care to enjoy. From a carriage, boat, bicycle or walking tour of nearby Charleston - rated third top choice for domestic travel by readers of Condé Nast Traveler - to an extraordinary off-island meal at places only the locals can name. From a list of just the right places to shop for handmade crafts, American and English antiques, fine art or jewelry, to a tour of a legendary plantation.

Don't feel like driving? Let those of us who experience the city daily be your guide to the highlights of a trip downtown. We offer comprehensive excursions that will take you to such intriguing places as Fort Sumter, the Calhoun Mansion, and Drayton Hall Plantation. Or see the Holy City the way the colonists did - from a horse-drawn carriage. Visit our Transportation section for more information.

Of course, you'll want to be sure to say hello to over 10,000 animals at the new South Carolina Aquarium, opened in 2000. Kiawah Island Golf Resort was proud to donate one million dollars to the aquarium in the continuing effort to keep people aware of the many ways that nature plays a role in our lives. In fact, the loggerhead turtles that you'll see at the aquarium were hatched from nests right here on Kiawah Island! 

All of this and more awaits you in our Lowcountry paradise. And all is at your beck and call as our privileged guest.

Continuing education

Lynelle Johnson D.V.M

Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine

Associate Professor of Medicine

David Maggs B.V.Sc.

Diplomate, American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists

Associate Professor of Ophthalmology

University of California, Davis

Dr. Johnson is an internationally recognized expert on respiratory medicine. Lynelle contributes to all the major veterinary texts and is a frequent speaker at both the national and international meetings.  Lynelle is a frequent IVS speaker, where she has presented practical seminars

Dr. Maggs expertise at presenting practical and informative seminars has led to invitations to speak throughout the nation. He also contributes to the veterinary texts and is also a consultant for online services.

Both Drs Johnson & Maggs work with practicing veterinarians daily and have vast experiences that enable them to distill the questions from their general practitioner colleagues into short practical answers.  We have all been to meetings where you already know 45 minutes of the material in a 50 minute lecture but have to wait until the very end to get the new information!  In this seminar series, Drs. Johnson and Maggs have identified approximately 4-6 frequently asked questions to be answered per lecture session.  Those questions will then be answered succinctly in approximately 10 minutes per question to allow for time for discussion amongst the group.  The pace is rapid and so the CE is never boring!
