About The Dunlin

The Dunlin, Auberge Collection, is a coastal escape in South Carolina's Sea Islands set within the exclusive waterfront community of Kiawah River.

Inviting guests to experience the outdoor bliss of coastal living on 2,000 picturesque acres, the nature-embraced Johns Island resort is just 20 miles from Charleston. Designed by Amanda Lindroth, the property offers 72 cottage-style guest rooms and suites. Adventure beckons with 20 miles of riverfront and scenic nature trails and flora- and fauna-rich marshlands, while two Auberge dining concepts and a destination spa celebrate the rich heritage of South Carolina and the simple wonder of life on the river.

Role Overview

As the sun sparkles over a palm-fringed oasis in South Carolina, the Pool Server/Bartender becomes part mixologist, part host, and part vacation-day mind reader—gliding between bar and loungers to deliver jewel-toned cocktails and chilled refreshments with effortless charm.
