Similar to Martha's Vineyard

No. There's been a Black community on the Vineyard for over a century.

Thank you. Also, Brazilians make up 20% of the year round population. But people who have never been there love to talk about how there is no diversity on the Vineyard.

That’s such a long way to travel just to do those things for a few nights. You can do all that much closer to home. It will also cost you alot of time and money, between the rental property and rental car.

I personally would pick an easier place to get to.

You can fly to both Charleston and HHI. I prefer the convenience of HHI.

Kiawah - you can fly to Charleston and drive an hour there

I can't see how anyone would find Kiawah pretentious. There's no "scene" the way there is in upscale resort towns in the Northeast. It's very well maintained but sleepy and relaxed.

Its Southern pretentious, which admittedly would seem low key to a Yank.

It is not very Southern in terms of people who live there. Heavy New England; mid-Atlantic; and Mid-West. Boston, Chicago, and NY are three places you hear people say they are from over and over again.

HHI you can land on the island and be anywhere on the island in 10-15 min. Or Uber or rent a golf cart.
