Connect to Kiawah with KICA's New Mobile App
Of the world’s population of seven billion,
about six billion people use mobile phones,
and another 285 million use tablets. Clearly it’s
become a way of life, of connecting with family
and friends, and of doing business. We share
photos, check email, read books and news, find
great restaurants, and get directions, right at
our fingertips. Mobile technology is our instant
connection to the world around us.
KICA is excited to bring that connection and
convenience to you with its new Kiawah Mobile
App. With the touch of a button, you can call
Security or any of the KICA departments,
contact a reservationist to book the Kiawah
Island Shuttle by KICA, catch up on island
news and events, find restaurants, and so much
more. Not on the island but wish you were? Pull
up the beach cam and put yourself there. Find
something in disrepair while you’re out biking?
One-touch connects you with the office to let
us know. Can’t find your way around? The map
will pinpoint your location on the island in an
instant. Stuck in traffic or want severe weather
updates? With push notifications, the app will
get you important news and info as it happens.
No matter where you are in the world, this app
will connect you to Kiawah. And it’s great for
your visiting family, guests and vacationers, too.
You can get this convenient and fun tool
right now. To download the mobile app to
your smartphone or tablet, go to the Apple
Store (Apple platforms) or Google Play Store
(Android platforms). Search “Kiawah Island
Community Association," find our app with
the instantly recognizable green Kiawah icon,
download it and you’re on your way.
The KICA mobile app is free, friendly, and will
evolve as we hear from you. We want your input
on things you’d find helpful on a mobile device.
So as you’re out and about on the island, use the
one-touch email function on the app to send
our communications team your ideas, or you
can contact us at 843-768-9194 or email us at
[email protected].
We hope you enjoy this brand new way to
connect to Kiawah Island!
Property Owners Praise Kiawah Shuttle Service
If the early reviews are any indication, the Kiawah Shuttle Service by KICA is a hit. Since it officially went into service in late April, the shuttle has been
booked for over 150 trips carrying over 350 people. KICA spoke with a few of these satisfied customers to get their personal opinions on this new service.
"We had a wonderful experience on the TGIF Shuttle Route. It was very convenient and our driver was competent and polite. We loved it!"
"Donnie, our driver, introduced himself, reviewed our plans for the evening, helped us into the shuttle and went over the audio, temperature
and lighting controls. Very fine job!"
"What a gorgeous vehicle! I couldn't be more complimentary of the folks and our experience."
"Our experience with the shuttle was luxurious and comfortable. It was nice to not h ave to drive, and our drivers couldn't have been
lovelier. This would be great for a wedding or family event."
"Our driver Darryl was very competent and pleasant to deal with. There was absolutely no trouble navigating downtown, and we arrived
a bit ahead of schedule. Our ability to communicate with him during the trip, with a screen that could be lowered or raised, was ideal.
Having internet access and Pandora was pleasant. The ride was very smooth and quiet and was great for socializing."
"Lindsay was excellent in her role as reservationist and point of contact. She was most helpful answering all of my questions, returned
phone calls very promptly and did not miss a detail."
"Our driver was prompt at every point during the evening and provided a very smooth trip."
