Story by Katherine Barry Verano and Mike TouhillA look back at the events that shaped the last fifty years on Kiawah IslandMilestones are almost always celebrated with one eye on the future and one on the past, a lifetime of memories woven together to create the moment that is today. This year, Kiawah Island celebrates a golden milestone. It was fifty years ago that the Island began its transformation from a private, family retreat into one of the most sought-after resort and residential destinations in the country. Like the rising and falling of the tide, Kiawah remains constant. Since 1974, generations of families have come to call Kiawah home, and a culture of community has flourished amidst its windswept dunes and dynamic saltwater marshes. Journey with us over the last half century and relive the moments that have defined the Island and its legacy.1974Kuwait Investment Company Acquires Kiawah IslandThe Royal family, who logged timber on the Island and built its first seaside vacation homes, sold Kiawah to Kuwait Investment Company for $17 million. The new owner, in consultation with Sea Pines Company, completed an extensive environmental inventory and created a master plan for development.1975Sea Pines Company Takes Over Management of Kiawah Island1976The Kiawah Island Community Association is FoundedMarsh Point Golf Course OpensReal Estate Sales BeginKiawah Island Inn OpensIn May 1976, Kiawah Island Golf Resort officially opened with the Kiawah Island Inn (pictured in header). Perched atop a prominent beachside bluff, the Inn had two oceanfront swimming pools, the Charleston Gallery and Jasmine Porch restaurants, and the Topsider Lounge bar. The resort also opened a nine-court tennis complex and the Straw Market shops.1981Turtle Point Golf Course OpensTurtle Point Golf Course was designed by the renowned Jack Nicklaus and features stunning oceanfront holes in the heart of East Beach Village. Nicklaus returned to Kiawah in 2016 to oversee a full renovation of the course. 1988The Town of Kiawah is IncorporatedOsprey Point Golf Course OpensKiawah Resort Associates Acquires Kiawah IslandIn 1988, Kiawah Resort Associates (KRA) purchased the Island for $105 million from the Kuwait Investment Company. And so began the Island’s transformation into one of the top luxury communities in the U.S.1989Hurricane HugoThe “Storm of the Century” barrelled into Charleston on September 21, 1989. A Category 4 storm, Hurricane Hugo left a swath of devastation across the greater Charleston area.1990KRA Sells Resort Assets to Landmark Land Co.The First Issue of Legends Magazine is Released1991The Ocean Course Opens Kiawah Island Hosts the Ryder CupIn 1991, the biennial Ryder Cup golf matches came to the shores of legendary Pete Dye’s newest creation, The Ocean Course.

Days on the Island’s northern beach at the mouth of the Stono River. After leaving the Air Force in July of 1972, my thoughts turned to Kiawah and how I could return. Fortunately, there was a home for rent on Eugenia Avenue. I’d visit every chance I could for a week or a weekend. One of my most memorable times on Kiawah was when, for five days, my dog and I were the only ones on the Island. That dog was my soulmate, a German Shepherd named Kiawah. During this time, Kiawah and I were walking the beach when I noticed this large silver thing up in the sky. It got closer and closer, and much to my surprise, it was the Goodyear Blimp! They were flying right up the coastline. I waved to the pilots, and they waved back to me. I roamed all over the Island back then in an old jeep that I’d bring down. One year, I also had a motorcycle down there that provided more fun in the dunes, on the old logging trails, and of course on the beach. Back then, you’d turn off the beach at the present-day allée of oaks, and as soon as you cleared the dunes, you would see the old Vanderhorst Mansion. Mr. Royal’s sawdust pile was located near where Kiawah Island Community Association (KICA) headquarters is today, and they had pens to catch feral hogs out there too. Hunting on the Island was one of my favorite things to do, along with catching all the oysters, clams, and shrimp we could eat. Every holiday, every vacation, every free day was spent on Kiawah. We continued to land airplanes on the beach until the Inn opened. At one time, there were five airplanes on the beach at the same time—one of them was a twin-engine Piper Apache! It was a great runway at low tide. We’d fly low along the beach, looking for soft spots in the sand before landing. It was a really neat experience. I knew I wanted to own something at Kiawah the first time I set foot on the Island. It was just a matter of convincing someone to sell me a piece of land. I happened to be on Kiawah when they started surveying, and I watched them survey lots one through six. I inquired about the lots, and they told me they would be listed at $40,000. I immediately called my dad and said, “Let’s buy three, sell two, and build a house.” My dad laughed and said, “Son, where are we going to get $40,000, much less $120,000?” I’ve always wanted to be here. Kiawah was it for me. My wife, Donna,

It was the spring of 1969, and I was a twenty-four-year-old Lieutenant in the Air Force. My flight instructor was a bit of a thrill seeker and liked to land in unusual places. One of those unusual places was on Kiawah’s beach at low tide. My first visit to Kiawah was July 4 of that same year when I was invited to attend a get-together at the home of then-Governor John C. West. There were maybe twenty houses on the Island at that time. A mutual friend from Camden invited me to come out to the gathering, and boy, what a special day that was! We rode dune buggies through the sand, and I enjoyed seeing a different side of Kiawah. Prior to that day, I had only seen the Island during landing and takeoff. It was love at first sight. During the next four years, we spent many fun

Trust the surgeon physicians choose for LASIK—Dr. Kerry Solomon, the leading LASIK surgeon in South Carolina! People searching for an exceptional ophthalmologist in or around North Charleston, Summerville, Mt. Pleasant, or West Ashley, SC, are fortunate to have one of the world’s best right here in the Lowcountry: Kerry Solomon, M.D. Dr. Solomon is internationally renowned for LASIK and refractive cataract surgery. He attracts patients from all over the country who want to be treated by a surgeon who has accomplished so many “firsts” in eye surgery. The driving force behind Dr. Solomon’s success is his passion for patient care, and dedication to helping people like you to enjoy a better quality of life through improved vision. We want you to come in and see for yourself what makes Dr. Solomon’s practice truly unique. Use our easy online form to request an appointment, or call our office at (843) 881-3937 and one of our friendly staff members will schedule an appointment at a convenient time and location for you. We serve patients from Goose Creek, Johns Island, Kiawah Island, Myrtle Beach, and beyond. That’s a tough one, because there are so many. Of course, it all comes down to helping people see more clearly than they ever thought they could and allowing them to enjoy a better quality of life. I love hearing the stories about people getting back to their favorite activities like hunting, fishing, watersports, or simply driving more comfortably at night. I really enjoy exceeding people’s expectations, which happens quite a bit since the technology we use allows us to improve upon what is possible with glasses. I enjoy hearing the praise for my staff, and the appreciation from patients who feel they have been treated like family. It’s not a coincidence… our practice is different by design. We have worked – and continue to work – very hard to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, instead of the clinical, impersonal feeling you can sometimes get at an eye practice. Because we’ve located our call center in a separate part of the office, our patients don’t hear
