Dataw Island is such a fantastic community!

Thanks for the wonderful review. We came to Dataw in 1998, looking for a community where we could continue to boat year round, not seasonal like boating in the Great Lakes. After our first visit here we were sold. Dataw has all the wonderful amenities that most gated golfing communities have but the one thing that stood out besides all the natural beauty, and made it different from others, was being able to keep our boat right where we lived. We are located just a few miles from the intracoastal, which makes Dataw Island Marina an ideal place for destination boating. Makes a great place to live too! Donna & Mike McKeown
