OWNER NEWSLETTER
DECEMBER 2025
FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER, BRENT GRESHAM
We hope you and your loved ones are enjoying this beautiful season and all the moments of reflection and renewal it brings. As the year unfolds across the Lowcountry, Kiawah Island takes on a quiet kind of splendor — the marsh grasses shift to gold, the air grows cool and crisp, and the beaches become even more peaceful beneath the soft winter light. It’s a season that reminds us to slow down, to gather with friends and family, and to savor the beauty that surrounds us.
As we look ahead to the holidays, there’s no better time to experience Kiawah in its most tranquil state. The rhythm of island life softens, yet the spirit of celebration fills the air — from cozy gatherings around the fire pits and festive evenings at the clubhouse, to crisp morning walks along the shoreline as dolphins trace the surf. Whether you’re here to celebrate with family, unwind after a busy year, or simply enjoy the serenity of ocean breezes and quiet sunsets, winter on Kiawah offers a sense of peace and connection that’s truly timeless.
A new sunrise is on the horizon for our club, so bring your shades — bright days are ahead, and we’re so excited to share them with you.
PROPERTY UPDATES
Water Leak Update
Contractors will begin the final phase of renovations in Building 300, due to the water leak that occurred last June. They will also be installing large floor drains near the water pump in Buildings 100, 200, and 300. This work will mainly affect the parking garage and service closets, and minimal disruption is expected for owners and guests.
Additionally, as recommended by our mechanical engineering consultant, the replumbing of the main water lines in Buildings 100 and 200 will also commence this month.
Wi-Fi Upgrade
We are excited to announce that we have changed our WiFi network provider. Our new provider is the largest in the U.S. and specializes in our type of wireless hardware, earning high praise for their services. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we implement this exciting improvement. We look forward to you enjoying the benefits of this long-awaited upgrade.
New Vehicle Pass
To prevent unauthorized vehicles from accessing our property, we have introduced a new parking pass system. All owners and registered guests will need to display this pass on their dashboards. You will receive the pass from the Concierge upon arrival. Thank you for your cooperation.
Resodded Promenade Lawn
The lawn area of the promenade has recently been resodded for your enjoyment. Please refrain from allowing pets to use this space.
Privacy Landscaping
We recently added privacy plants to the front of our property to soften the impact of nearby development and maintain our tranquil atmosphere. We will continue this effort around the perimeter to fill gaps, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure our property remains a peaceful oasis.

We’re excited to introduce new features for your dog! Enjoy an automatic watering bowl for hydration and a colorful crate of beach toys next to the dog washing area. Please return the toys after use for all our furry guests to enjoy.

AFTER THE STORM: THREE YEARS STRONG
A New Chapter on Captiva Island
Three years ago, Hurricane Ian brought devastation to Captiva Island and much of Southwest Florida. South Seas—at the very heart of Captiva and acquired by Timbers only months earlier—was among the hardest hit. The storm swept away guest areas that generations of families had treasured, leaving behind both physical and emotional loss. In the aftermath, Timbers moved swiftly, meeting an unforeseen challenge with urgency and resolve. The focus was not only on rebuilding what was lost, but also on strengthening the resort to withstand the storms of the future.
Through the hard work, dedication, and countless late nights of the Timbers team, every area damaged by Ian has now been restored. While the main hotel was destroyed, residential units are fully back, and plans are in motion to rebuild hotel accommodations with even more luxury, serenity, and longevity than before. In the meantime, two new additions are opening this year: Beach House, a restaurant on Sunset Beach with sweeping Gulf views, and Captiva Landing, a lively water play area designed for families. Both honor the resort’s legacy while infusing the island with fresh energy and new experiences.
For owners and guests alike, Captiva remains a rare place where time slows, charm endures, and sunsets turn each evening into a celebration. Looking ahead, Timbers is preparing an exciting new project for the luxury market—one that will resonate with those who feel at home at destinations like Timbers Kaua‘i and Timbers Kiawah. The spirit of Captiva, defined by its natural beauty and a rhythm that invites reflection, continues to offer new ways to experience everything that makes this island extraordinary.
