Cyndi McLean is a South Carolina native (oops, but born in Tennessee) having grown up in the upstate, Greenville, and then migrating to the coast to study marine biology. After graduating from the College Of Charleston, she found herself working for Kiawah Island Resort and most recently, Pam Harrington Exclusives. After many years in the resort environment managing properties, coupled with 10 years of helping coordinate conferences and meetings as a subcontractor with NOAA, she decided to fulfill an entrepreneurial dream. Kiawah Go Go was created by Cyndi, filling a much needed niche in the resort industry.

Hi Cyndi!
Thank you so much, your service has been exceptional! We have travelled many places and used similar services, but you are simply the best!!! Details like providing both the spray and the lotion sunscreen when I forgot to specify, and two smaller blocks of the cheddar when a large block was not available - you did the shopping exactly as I would have done myself. We will definitely use your service again :-)

Hi Cyndi,
Thanks again for everything! Everyone was happy, especially me, as I didn’t have to get off a plane to search for food.
I totally love the service and congrats on your new business!

Hi Cyndi!
You did a great job with everything on our list and yes we had a great time as usual in Kiawah. Was definitely a treat to find our groceries already there when we arrived! Will definitely do that again!
Take care

Dear Cyndi,
Arriving on Kiawah on a gorgeous summer Saturday afternoon is made even more perfect by finding your rental home fully stocked with everything from fresh fruit to toothpaste; from deli meats to doughnuts. While less fortunate vacationers stand in line at the crowded grocery, fighting over the last of the smoked turkey, our family is already on the beach thanks to our “Kiawah Concierge” Cyndi! Simply send your grocery list to Cyndi – no list is too long – and she will do the shopping for you AND carry all of the groceries into the house where they will be waiting on you when you arrive, hungry and tired from
traveling. It’s the ONLY way to start a Kiawah vacation!
Sincerely,
Benita J. Riley
