Kiawah Island, SC Vacation/Rental/Investment Property

[Daniel Sanford]

My family loves Kiawah Island, we go several times a year.   Would like to buy my own vacation home/condo there but plan to rent it out enough to cover the ongoing cost.   I know there are a lot of fees associated with owning on the island.    I also understand Kiawah Island performs very different that other beach markets due to year round rentalibility but it's also more expensive.   Also looks like overall home values have actually declined in recent years.    Anyone have experience investing on the Island or expertise in evaluating this market for investment purposes?   Looking for general advice on economic feasibility for single family home or condo/villa investment.
