Are you tired of the hustle and bustle of city life? Are you longing for a break from an endless slew of work and responsibility that seems to crash down on you wherever you are, wherever you go? Chances are you should listen to your instinct, get some days off and leave all that behind for a much-needed breather.
Multiple studies have shown that a brief respite is necessary to recharge our productivity levels and ease our stress. We humans are not machines; we get worn down, burned out and then we become more prone to making mistakes. We want – no, we need to run away from all this once in a while. And what better getaway can you find than an island retreat in the middle of nowhere?
Figuratively speaking, of course.
Kiawah Island nestles on the tip of the Atlantic coast in South Carolina. While it isn’t really in the middle of nowhere, it does boast of a small population that’s nothing like the stifling environment of the workplace. It is a tiny barrier island with the facilities and luxuries of high-end resorts – numerous resorts, condos, villas, chalets and even entire houses are available for rent here for you to embark on your private getaway, courtesy of Kiawah Island Rentals.
Kiawah Island Rentals – Resorts
Resorts, as their name implies, are not unlike those found in the city, with one difference: most of the Kiawah Island resorts are golf resorts, for golf enthusiasts to try their hand at the many highly-acclaimed golf courses that stretch in many places across Kiawah Island. In fact, one of the best golf courses in America is here: the Ocean Course, which seriously puts your golfing skills to the test while innocently distracting you with panoramic views left, right and centre. There are four other notable golf courses as well, namely the Turtle Point, Osprey Point, Oak Point and Cougar Point, all of which are worth checking out if you have the time.
Kiawah Island Rentals – Condominiums
If you’re not so much of a golf fan and would prefer lower rental rates than those offered by resorts, you can always opt to rent a condominium instead. If you choose a high enough floor you will be able to glean a picturesque, birds-eye view of a vast swathe of the island, provided you chose a strategic condominium. The feeling of being elevated plus the serenity of a private getaway will certainly help to soothe your work-frayed nerves and lower your stress levels. Besides, no one said that you couldn’t check out the golf courses if you didn’t stay at the resorts; by all means take a stroll down, if only to watch other golfers at their game. Kiawah Island Condo Rentals allows you look for the perfect place and the perfect price without much hassle.
Kiawah Island Rentals – Villas, Chalets and Houses
Do you prefer feeling grounded? Then you can rent a villa, chalet, cottage or even normal houses for the duration of your stay, courtesy of Kiawah Island SC Vacation Rentals. These are equipped with many facilities for a quiet, lazy life at home, such as a kitchen, a refrigerator, and a washer and dryer. You can kick back and relax on your private patio while watching your kids have the time of their lives on the beach, or you can just lounge indoors to unwind in the blissful quiet and privacy condominiums can’t provide (hint: multiple rooms and shared walls). When you are hungry you can cook, or you can eat out in one of Kiawah Island’s food hotspots, or resort food if it better suits your palate.
In fact, depending on how much you are willing to splurge, these rental spots might even come with a fitness centre, a gaming room or even private pools and hot tubs! These luxuries are things you normally don’t get to enjoy at home due to time constraints, but now, here in Kiawah, you can peruse them to your heart’s content.
In short, this vacation getaway is like a home away from home.
But sometimes you also want to burn off some of that piled-up frustration from your life, and not just laze about in the sun. In that case, here are some things that you can do on the island other than golfing:
Kiawah Island Rentals – Revel in Natural Beauty
Sometimes a casual stroll along the beach is all you need to calm down. If so, Kiawah Island has much to offer: being an island, it has wide expanses of beautiful beaches. You can walk barefoot and feel the sand beneath your feet, or the baby waves that try to snatch your toes as soon as you’re close enough. You can also just watch those at play; Kiawah’s beaches are full of many forms of beach entertainment, such as beach volleyball, fishing, swimming and sand sculpture building. Alternatively, you can rent a bicycle to cycle lazily around the island to truly enjoy its natural beauty.
Try Tennis
Tennis is also a popular sport on Kiawah Island, and it shows. In fact, the Kiawah Island Golf Resort is touted the best tennis resort in America by TENNIS magazine. So you can ignore this amusing, if not intentional, misnomer and give tennis a go in one of the resort’s two tennis complexes that give you a choice between Har-Tru clay courts and hard courts. You might even like it as a hobby once you go back to the city; who knows?
Go Online
Will you feel too unaccustomed to being totally cut off from the rest of the world? Worry not, for strategic places on Kuwait Island (including your room or rented house, sometimes) are also fitted with internet connectivity; you can still check your e-mails or post updates about your wonderful vacation on Twitter or Facebook. Feel free, however, to ignore any work-related e-mails for the time being. It’s your holiday time, you’ve taken leave, so you might as well delay replying unless they are really, really urgent (or if they come from your boss). Kiawah Island may not be a booming city, but it will have Wi-Fi spots in most restaurants and coffee corners if you ask around.
