Welcome to Charleston's Sea Islands

Kiawah River is located on the southern edge of Johns Island, SC, across from Kiawah Island. Meet water everywhere. Johns Island is surrounded by the Intracoastal Waterway, the Stono River, the Kiawah River and Bohicket Creek. Johns Island is located in Charleston County, South Carolina and is the states largest island. It is the fourth-largest island on the US east coast. Johns Island is 84 square miles, with a population of 21,800 people.

The historic city of Charleston is a short drive from our home at Kiawah River. Charleston has received much acclaim for its history, charm and glamour. Ask for our "Official Guide to Charleston" when you visit Kiawah River and experience Charleston like a local.
