Whimsical Southern style meets modern lowcountry living at The Dunlin. A timeless gathering place, for the families who call us home and the neighbors who call us friends. A place where time slows, come here to nurture the soul in nature.
The farm on The Dunlin grounds was owned by the Limehouse family for approximately 60 years in the 1900s. Today the grounds are owned by the Kiawah River Hospitality Group, a joint venture between The Beach Company and McNair Interests.
The Dunlin’s serenely hospitable resort and community embody the vision of Kiawah River’s development partners, The Beach Company and McNair Interests, to curate a one-of-a-kind experience at one of South Carolina’s most cherished destinations.
Its namesake honoring the beautiful local shorebird, The Dunlin’s surroundings at Kiawah River showcase the region’s abundance of natural offerings. A preserved estuary, the destination is vibrant with sea island life such as roseate spoonbills, great blue herons, redfish and oyster beds among moss-covered oaks and pines, creeks, ponds, and wide spans of marsh grasses along the water.
