PR Newswire

Pre-launch sellout underscores strong demand for luxury co-ownership on Kiawah Island, South Carolina; more Pacaso homes coming soon in this exclusive vacation enclave.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C., Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacaso, the leading technology-enabled real estate marketplace for co-owned second homes, today announced that its newest Kiawah Island residence, Sea Marsh, sold out entirely before officially launching to the public. All ownership shares were claimed rapidly, underscoring the growing demand for luxury co-ownership opportunities on one of the East Coast's most sought-after barrier islands.

The swift sellout reflects strong buyer interest in Kiawah Island and the Lowcountry lifestyle. Pacaso plans to add more homes on the island in the coming months.

"Kiawah Island continues to resonate deeply with buyers looking for a refined coastal escape," said Austin Allison, CEO and co-founder of Pacaso.

We're excited to bring additional homes to Kiawah Island soon to meet that demand."

Expansive windows fill the open-concept great room with natural light, while the chef's kitchen features a large island, premium appliances, and custom finishes.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) — For residents and visitors on Kiawah Island, emergency medical care is now much closer to home.

Medical University of South Carolina Health, in collaboration with Kiawah Partners, has developed a new free-standing emergency room on the island, significantly reducing what has traditionally been a more than 20-mile drive to the nearest hospital-based emergency department.

The facility is designed to provide around-the-clock emergency care while also serving as a critical gateway for patients who need more advanced treatment.

Beyond shortening drive times, the new ER is paired with expanded air medical access. MUSC Health recently introduced a new medical helicopter expected to reduce the time it takes to transport patients from Kiawah Island to MUSC’s main hospital in downtown Charleston. Health leaders say the combination of air transport and on-island emergency care could be a game changer for coastal communities.

The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including mobile X-ray capabilities, a primary care clinic and physical therapy services. MUSC Health says the site is part of a long-term, 12-year development plan aimed at serving a community that has historically traveled 20 to 50 miles for emergency services, often facing heavy traffic that can significantly delay care.

MUSC Health President David Cole said the travel burden was a major factor in bringing emergency services to the island.

“If you’re somebody who lives on Kiawah, there’s an understanding pretty quickly that you’re about an hour away when you have an emergency,” Cole said. “What this does is provide care minutes away. If you take a fall or have an emergency, you now have a 24-hour emergency room without having to worry about traffic or getting stuck on the highway.”

The free-standing emergency room will operate 24/7 and is expected to be open to the public by Dec. 18.

Just a twenty minute drive from Charleston’s stoic steeples and stately single houses, Sullivan’s Island, with its storybook cottages and pristine beach, is the charmingly sun-bleached answer to the Holy City’s pomp and circumstance. Sullivan’s is also a secret locals are keen to keep. The small island measures only two and a half miles long, but the town punches well above its weight when it comes to natural beauty, historical significance, curb appeal, and places to eat, drink, and shop. Here are the best things to do on Sullivan’s Island.

Enjoy the Outdoors

With 2.5 miles of Atlantic Ocean-fronting shoreline, Sullivan’s Island’s main draw is its pristine shoreline, a wide sandy stretch prime for sandcastle-building and sunbathing. Called “Stations” as a nod to the trolley line that once ran in the area, the island’s wayfaring points also serve as easy meet-ups for beach access. Each station has its perks: If you want to stay close to the main drag of Middle Street, with all of its restaurants and shops, Stations 21, 22, and 22 ½ are your best bets; If you want to be a little farther from the action and close to the lighthouse, try Station 18 ½.

Connecting the Charleston Light (the iconic black-and-white lighthouse) to Fort Moultrie (the Revolutionary War-era fort that’s now a National Historic Park), this two-mile trail winds through the island’s maritime forest for a different perspective of the spot’s natural beauty.

Savor the Impressive (Especially for Its Size) Food Scene

The Lowcountry is shrimp country, and at this fish-camp-inspired restaurant, you’ll find the best local ones, pulled straight from nearby Shem Creek. Try them fried with garlic aioli or stirred into fried Carolina Gold rice with fresno chilis and XO sauce. If you’ve got a thirsty crew, wash it all down with the Big Fish Jug of Margs.

With a menu inspired by local, seasonal ingredients and surrounds informed by the area’s maritime culture, the self-proclaimed “eclectic Southern” restaurant isn’t dishing what you’d necessarily expect for beach-town fare. That’s due largely in part to its chef, two-time James Beard Award nominee Jacques Larson, whose menu includes house-made pastas and “Lowcountry frites,” polenta fries served with comeback sauce. Not in the mood to come off the beach for dinner? Pick up a wood-fired pizza for a sunset picnic on the sand.

The sister restaurant to concepts first born in St. John and St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, The Longboard celebrates seafood in its freshest, lightest forms, with dishes like poke bowls, ceviche, and sushi wraps. Don’t miss Oyster Happy Hour (weekdays 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and weekends 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.), with its rotating selection of the bivalves, served raw, grilled, dressed, or as shooters.

When you’ve tired of seafood, settle into this local favorite for a pulled pork sandwich or perfect smoked wings. Better yet, order “The Board” for your crew of beach bums; it’s a sampler of wings, sausage, ribs, pulled pork, and turkey, served with a trio of their memorable sides, like the mac & cheese or collard greens. Be sure to try their signature sipper, the Gamechanger, a frozen fruity concoction with two kinds of rum. They even sell the mix, should you want to make it at home.

So named for Edgar Allen Poe, the famed poet who was stationed on Sullivan’s Island with the U.S. Army in 1827 and 1828, the gastropub is the town’s destination for burgers and fish tacos. Roll off the beach in your cover-up and flip flops for lunch at one of the umbrella-shaded picnic tables out front.

Shop Local Favorites

Rethink the kitschy airbrushed-tee-filled surf shops you’re accustomed to seeing in beach towns.

Discover the Area’s History

First settled in the late 17th century, Sullivan’s Island has its own Historic District that’s listed on the National Register. Stroll Middle Street, I’on Avenue, and Central Avenue between Stations 17 and 18 ½ to see private homes that once served as both military properties and residential dwellings and were built between 1870 (like the Dr. John B. Patrick House on Middle Street) through about 1950 (like the Fort Moultrie Chapel on Central Avenue, built in 1944). For true, stop-in-your-stroll cottage charm, make sure to walk past circa-1900 1808 I’On Avenue—a prime example of the architectural type. (Just don’t stare or linger for too long! It’s a private residence.)

Built in 1962 and officially called the Charleston Light, the black-and-white lighthouse that rises above the beach has become synonymous with the island—with most locals referring to it as the Sullivan’s Island Lighthouse. While it’s not open to the public, you can read the explanatory markers on your way to the beach at Station 18 ½. It also makes for a great photo opp from the sand.

Still under construction as the Revolutionary War began, this coastal garrison (the island’s first) was notably built from palmetto logs and sand. Even so, the British advance was thwarted by the defensive efforts there, saving Charleston from a 1776 occupation (it eventually fell in 1780) and it was renamed for its victorious Commander William Moultrie. The original fell into disrepair, as did the second that was built in its place. Finally, a third brick iteration was completed in 1809. It served as a garrison for the Federal troops, and once they abandoned it, by the Confederacy. It was modernized in the 1870s and was used until World War II. Operated by the National Park Service, it’s worth a visit for anyone interested in military history, as it’s been restored to showcase its various functions from 1809 to 1947.
