At Timbers Kiawah Ocean Club and Residences, we love including pets in the fun, and especially enjoy seeing many of them experience a beach vacation for the first time. Here’s a handy list of pet-friendly activities you can partake in together.

Each property in the Timbers Collection prides itself on providing experiences authentic to their distinct location. This holds true from the large-scale amenities all the way down to the smallest details — like offering thoughtfully curated refreshments that reflect the local scene.
