Twice now, over the past few years, we have volunteered our home to the Chamber Music of Charleston, to use as their concert hall. With all the biking, boating, swimming and beaching, they may be exhausted by day’s end – but they’re never bored. And on days when the dolphins might not be around, we always can count on seeing some of the most colorful, indigenous birds, strutting their stuff. Sometimes, when we’re canoeing, a pair of dolphins will cruise alongside, showing off their aquatic skills. This afternoon, I was able to grant their wish, as a pair of these frisky creatures showed up, just west of our dock, leaping, diving, leaping, diving, for a good ten minutes.

The coffee is still hot, a pleasant reminder that the wooden walkway out to our dock is so conveniently short – maybe the shortest one, of all the docks on Kiawah Island. I get out there, sit down and take a sip. It’s high tide this morning, so I decide to take my cup of coffee out to the dock. We invited the owner of 6 Summer Islands Lane, on Kiawah Island SC, to share his insights on just what it’s like to experience the natural beauty and sense of peacefulness that comes with living here. ![]() But, when those pictures are accompanied by words from the homeowner, it’s better yet.
