The Wall Street Journal spotlighted a remarkable Kiawah Island residence in its “House of the Week” and “House of the Month” series, highlighting a one-of-a-kind home currently for sale through Kiawah Island Real Estate, positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and a Jack Nicklaus–designed golf course.

Designed by globe-trotting homeowners who drew inspiration from years of luxury travel and European living, the four-level, 8,000+ square-foot home blends classic Southern coastal architecture with refined contemporary interiors. With direct beach access and sweeping fairway views, the property offers a rare dual-front setting that is virtually unmatched even within Kiawah’s exclusive second-gate enclave.

The Journal details the home’s hotel-inspired design and amenities, including a chilled wine room, custom lighting from a U.K. designer, spa-style bathrooms modeled after renowned European and California resorts, and more than 3,000 square feet of covered and outdoor living space overlooking a heated saltwater pool. The owners have invested heavily to keep the property at a five-star level, incorporating advanced Wi-Fi, air and water purification, and ongoing annual upgrades.

The feature also notes Kiawah Island’s strength as a luxury real estate market, citing rising prices, limited inventory, and sustained buyer demand, with the home listed at $18.5 million and positioned as a premier offering on the island.
