Cypress Point on Kiawah Island

Cypress Point is an enclave of 14 contemporary cottage homes at the heart of Kiawah Island's East Beach Village. The community sits beneath a canopy of grand oaks and large pines. Its wooded setting makes it feel more secluded than its central East Beach location would suggest. Golf vistas of Tom Fazio's River Course 5th hole are visible from within the neighborhood, and serene lagoon views abound.

The community's tranquility pool is one of the most distinctive amenities in East Beach — bordered by water features, olive trees, and thoughtfully designed seating areas. It's a different proposition from the standard resort community pool. Beach access at Boardwalk 28, Turtle Point Golf Course, East Beach Village, and The Sanctuary Hotel are all within easy reach.

Where is Cypress Point on Kiawah Island?

Cypress Point sits at the center of Kiawah Island's East Beach Village — within the island's most walkable area — yet feels more enclosed than its location implies. The neighborhood is defined by its mature canopy: grand oaks and large pines create a shaded, wooded character that's unusual for East Beach, where most properties sit in more open settings.

The River Course's 5th hole runs adjacent to the community, giving residents golf vistas directly from within the neighborhood. Lagoon views are a common feature of the properties. The combination of wooded canopy, golf views, and lagoon setting makes Cypress Point one of East Beach's more visually distinctive enclaves.

The Homes at Cypress Point Kiawah

Cypress Point's 14 homes are contemporary Mediterranean-style cottages on Cypress Cottage Lane. The architectural approach leans toward clean contemporary lines within a natural setting — homes designed to sit within the canopy rather than dominate it.

Cypress Point cottages typically range from 2,100 to over 2,700 square feet, with 3 to 4 bedrooms and up to 4.5 baths. Inside, ten-foot ceilings open the floor plan beyond what the square footage suggests, while screened porches frame quiet sightlines across lagoons and golf course fairways.

Set in Kiawah Island's East Beach village, most cottages combine the privacy of a single-family home with the elegant ease of a coastal retreat — well-suited to full-time residents, second-home owners, and rental investors alike. Property sizes and configurations may vary — PHE agents can provide current inventory details and recent comparable sales for accurate market context.
 

The Cypress Point Tranquility Pool

Cypress Point's community pool is not a standard resort pool. The tranquility pool is bordered by water features, olive trees, and inspired seating areas — designed as a calming, aesthetically intentional space rather than a recreational facility.

Just steps from beach access, outdoor showers are positioned beyond the pool deck, offering a convenient place to rinse off after a day on the sand before heading home.

Soft landscaping, considered hardscape, and quiet sightlines give the entire setting a retreat-like quality more reminiscent of a private resort than a typical residential pool — a place to unwind rather than entertain, favored by residents returning from morning walks along the beach or seeking a quiet afternoon poolside.

East Beach Village Access

Cypress Point's East Beach location puts a range of island amenities within easy reach.

• Turtle Point Golf Course is within walking distance.
• The River Course — a Kiawah Island Club private course — is adjacent to the neighborhood.
• Beach access at Boardwalk 28 serves East Beach Village.
• The Sanctuary Hotel, Night Heron Park and Nature Center, and Roy Barth Tennis Center are all nearby.

For buyers looking for a small, wooded East Beach community with golf and lagoon views and the full East Beach Village amenity footprint on the doorstep, Cypress Point is one of the few that delivers all of those features in a 14-home enclave.

Kiawah Island Club Membership at Cypress Point

Some Cypress Point properties may be listed with the opportunity to purchase a Kiawah Island Club membership alongside the home — Golf, Sports, or Social tier, depending on the listing. If membership is available, it will be noted in the listing.

Properties without a membership offering cannot have one added after the sale. All property owners enjoy the amenities supported by KICA — The Kiawah Island Community Association — including the Sandcastle pools and clubhouse, over 30 miles of bike trails, a preserved ecosystem, and 10 miles of private beach.

Cypress Point sits adjacent to The River Course, one of the Kiawah Island Club's two private championship golf courses — designed by Tom Fazio.

For Club members at Cypress Point, the River Course is on the neighborhood's doorstep. For a full overview of Club membership tiers and costs, see our Kiawah Island Club membership guide.
