Perfectly positioned along the legendary 11th hole of The Ocean Course on Kiawah Island’s easternmost tip, 23 Ocean Course Drive is a shingle-style coastal estate where championship golf, sweeping marshland, and the Atlantic Ocean converge in spectacular fashion.
Designed by the esteemed East Coast firm Mark Finlay Architects, this symmetrical cedar-shake residence sits on more than half an acre of prime ocean-view property. Rows of windows, glass doors, and balconies frame panoramic vistas from every upper level, while expansive outdoor living areas invite seamless indoor-outdoor living. An in-deck pool with integrated spa anchors the rear terrace, and a third-story balcony captures uninterrupted views of the Atlantic stretching across the horizon.
Spanning more than 5,000 square feet and offered furnished, the home is thoughtfully designed to maximize water and golf course views from the primary living spaces. Two oversized screened porches on the second level offer perspectives in every direction — ideal for dining, entertaining, or quiet evenings in the coastal breeze.
A grand two-story foyer with sweeping staircase and gallery overlook introduces the home with architectural presence. The entire first level is devoted to guests, centered around a seventeen-foot living room wrapped in white vertical shiplap and lined with glass doors opening to the covered terrace and pool deck. A convenient pool bath provides easy access from outdoors.
Four corner guest bedrooms offer abundant natural light from multiple exposures. Two rear suites open directly to the pool terrace. Bathrooms are beautifully appointed with beadboard wainscoting, frameless-glass showers, dual vanities, and refined coastal detailing. Every space reflects craftsmanship, from heart-of-pine flooring to extensive crown molding.
Accessible by windowed staircase or elevator, the second floor reveals sweeping views of the Ocean Course and Atlantic beyond. The expansive living room features a white-beamed ceiling, gas fireplace with pale stone surround, custom built-ins, and a dramatic wall of windows opening to a balcony overlooking the pool and ocean.
The dining room, wrapped in windows, connects seamlessly to the first screened porch — designed with dual dining areas and a comfortable sitting space beneath a beadboard ceiling.
The chef’s kitchen blends classic styling with top-tier appliances, including a Wolf® six-burner gas cooktop with griddle and dual ovens, paneled Sub-Zero® refrigeration, two Miele® dishwashers, and a GE® Profile microwave. A center island with prep sink, peninsula breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, and bay-windowed sink wall complete the space.
A beverage nook with Sub-Zero® refrigerator and bar sink leads to the second screened porch, offering additional outdoor conversation areas. A flexible fifth guest suite on this level features custom cabinetry concealing a Murphy bed, allowing use as either bedroom or office.
The entire top floor is devoted to the primary suite — a serene retreat above it all. Tall windows frame unforgettable views of the Ocean Course and Atlantic, while a private balcony invites mornings with sea air and evening sunsets.
The spa-like bath is bathed in natural light and features a freestanding soaking tub beneath treetop views, frameless-glass rain shower with additional showerhead, dual vanities, and separate water closets. A sitting area, study, and dual walk-in closets complete this exceptional owner’s level.
Additional features of this home include a four-car garage, home gym, windowed second-floor laundry room with sink and cabinetry, tankless water heater and integrated sound and security systems.
This home has a Kiawah Island Club Golf Membership available with purchase, giving Members access to world-class golf at Cassique and River Course, along with an unmatched collection of amenities including a 9,000-square-foot fitness facility, beach clubs overlooking the ocean, five-star dining experiences, spa, boathouse, Marsh House, and a bed & breakfast located in downtown Charleston.
23 Ocean Course is more than a residence; it is a generational coastal estate defined by architecture, privacy, and uninterrupted Atlantic views. Host to multiple PGA Championships, The Ocean Course provides one of the most celebrated golfing experiences in the world — and here, it becomes your backdrop.
