KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (WCSC) — A stretch of Lowcountry coastline known as Captain Sams Spit is steps closer to receiving guaranteed protection from development thanks to an agreement between the town of Kiawah Island, the state and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.

The agreement comes after almost two decades of effort to protect the land.

The state approved its share of the settlement, which includes a $37 million settlement share approved by the state legislature in August.

The town’s planning commission divided the land into three parcels. The Beachwalker Park parcel will go to the town, and two additional parcels will be owned by the state.

A conservation easement will cover the 76 acres of land. The Conservancy of the Sea Islands will help guarantee the easement.

Under the settlement, Captain Sams Spit will become a Heritage Trust preserve, the state’s highest form of protection.

Kiawah Island Mayor Bradley Belt said the town and the Kiawah community have been committed to ensuring there is no development at Captain’s Sam’s Spit and that it is preserved in its natural state in perpetuity.

“You can see the combination of strand-feeding bottlenose dolphins, you can see sea turtles nesting, you can see bobcats denning and you can see all these extraordinary migratory shorebirds,” Belt said. “It may be the only place in the world where all of these things come together. That’s why it’s so important and important to protect.”

The next step for the SCDNR is a letter of support from Charleston County to make the land tax exempt for the 2025 year. That request is on the agenda for Thursday’s finance meeting.

Once that is complete, the conservation easements need to go on record and finances will be exchanged.

A New Article Examines the Differences Between Villas, Cottages, and Single-Family Homes to Help Buyers Find the Right Fit on Kiawah Island.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C., Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- How do buyers decide between villas, cottages, and single-family homes on Kiawah Island? HelloNation has published an article that answers that question by walking prospective buyers through the practical differences between each property type and the ownership experience each one offers.

The HelloNation article explains that villas are among the most popular choices for second-home buyers on Kiawah Island. Because villas are typically part of a managed community, exterior maintenance, landscaping, and common areas are handled by a homeowners association. The article notes that this structure appeals to buyers who plan to visit seasonally and prefer not to manage ongoing upkeep from a distance. Villas are also often situated close to amenities such as pools, tennis courts, and beach access points, which adds convenience for shorter stays.

The article is straightforward about the tradeoffs that come with villa ownership. Units share walls or buildings with neighbors, and outdoor space is generally limited to a balcony or small patio. For buyers who spend extended time on the island or who need room for family gatherings, that arrangement can feel restrictive. Buyers who visit frequently and stay for longer stretches may find that single-family homes on Kiawah Island offer a level of space and privacy that villas cannot match.

Single-family homes represent the other end of the property spectrum, according to the article. They offer the most square footage, private outdoor space, and separation from neighboring properties. Many sit on wooded lots, lagoon-front settings, or along fairways, providing a sense of seclusion that is difficult to find in a shared building. The real estate agent featured in the article notes that for buyers who want to fully settle into the Kiawah Island experience or who entertain regularly, a single-family home tends to be the stronger fit.

The article also addresses the added responsibility that comes with single-family ownership. Owners manage their own maintenance, landscaping, and property systems, which can add complexity and cost for part-time residents. The article notes that many owners address this by working with a local property management company, though that adds to the overall expense of ownership and is worth factoring into the budget from the start.

Cottages are presented in the article as a middle-ground option that appeals to a specific buyer profile. They are typically detached or semi-detached structures, smaller than a full single-family home but offering more privacy than a villa. Some cottage communities include shared amenities and association management, while others operate more independently. For buyers who want a private feel without the full footprint of a larger home, the article describes cottages as a practical option worth considering among the property types Kiawah Island has available.

The HelloNation article frames the decision between property types around three practical questions: how often the buyer plans to visit, how much upkeep they are willing to manage, and what kind of experience they want during their time on the island. A buyer who visits a few weeks a year may find that a low-maintenance villa suits that pattern well, while a buyer spending months on the island has more reason to prioritize space and privacy.

The real estate agent featured in the article recommends working with a local professional who is familiar with all three categories and can walk buyers through specific examples, pricing history, and resale comparisons across property types.
