What a wonderful vacation rental! Just steps from the beach and close to everything. Ample room for four couples and pet friendly. Has an elevator, fully equipped kitchen, wi-fi and a TV in every bedroom. Lovely ocean view from the deck and a screened-in porch in case the bugs are bad (they weren't). Best of all, did I say it was pet-friendly? A real bargain with rent-sharing.

Beautiful Gem on One of Best Islands in the U.S.

I have been coming to Kiawah Island for close to 40 years, and 1113 Duneside is one of the most beautiful places we’ve stayed. The location can absolutely not be beat, and the home is stunning, cozy and just perfect (as well as quiet and peaceful). And somehow the weather was incredible. Peter is so thoughtful, and you can definitely see it in the small touches he’s put into his wonderful home. From the well-stocked kitchen to the comfortable beds and amazing master shower, you can tell Peter has taken the time to think of everything. Thank you for sharing your lovely piece of paradise at Kiawah with us! We had the best time and will definitely be staying here on our next trip! Sincerely, Lisa, Scott, Jenifer and Alex

A wonderful home! Fantastic View! Great property, well maintained! Owner very helpful! Kitchen a little tight. My only suggestion would be to get a rectangle table for dining area and smaller chairs. Would give you more room. I would absolutely recommend this home to family and friends.

My family had a wonderful time on our vacation to Kiawah Island, thanks in part to the GREAT accommodations this property provides! For the first time, 10 of us had PLENTY of room. We will definitely go back with hopes of booking 1113 Duneside.

Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Owner response: We are always thrilled when our guests enjoy Duneside, and Kiawah, as much as we do! Recently, Kiawah Island was named the "Happiest Seaside Town in America" by Coastal Living Magazine. Your happiness obviously put us over the top! We look forward to your return visit.

We couldn't have stayed in a nicer home- location perfect, floor plan worked great as we had our daughter and husband with their 5 month old so they had their own floor and we had our peace and quiet. Photos accurately depict the home and the only negative was the pool was opening till the next week. Just a short two minute walk to a spectacular beach! Owners thoughtfully provided beach chairs and umbrellas. The view of the ocean from the master was beautiful and we slept with the sounds of the ocean lulling us to sleep each night- what could be better!

Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, pet owners, romantic getaway.

Owner response: We are so pleased that your vacation with us was all that you could have wished for. Yes indeed, the sound of the ocean at the villa is a daily, and nightly, lullaby. We hope that you will stay with us again, taking advantage of the repeat guest discount.

Christmas at Kiawah

Guest Beachcomber
Date of stay 12/23/11
Review Submitted 01/10/12

Our family shared a wonderful Christmas in this condo. The sunrise over the ocean as viewed from the living room was fabulous. A short walk down the path brought us to a long, flat beach to walk. The condo was clean, well maintained, comfortable and easily accommodated the 8 of us. Charleston was an easy 35 - 45 minute drive. Freshfields - the local shopping area had everything one could want - good grocery store, delicious restaurant. All in all a holiday venue I would recommend.

My family and I spent a week at this house from March 20th to March 26, 2011. My children loved the fact that they could have their own rooms including a tv and wifi!!!! The house is very well maintained and we sure enjoyed our stay. We mostly stayed at the house during the week and loved the fact that we could walk straight out to the beach from it...so easy!!! The kitchen is awesome with nice granite countertops! I personally loved the master shower/steam room!!!!

We had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday here on Kiawah. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed all the beautiful features of your home. It felt like we were living in a Southern Magazine featured home! We hope that you will consider our suggestion of adopting us into your family. We think it is a great idea. Thanks again.P.S. The flowers were so nice.

What a lovely home you have! We had a terrific time renewing our friendship that began in college 41 years ago!Some of the highlights in our dining experience include Fat Hen, Rosebank Farms, and especially Cru in Charleston. We hope that all who come after will have an equally wonderful stay. Enjoy long walks on the beach, beautiful sunrises and laughter with friends!

We all really enjoyed your home - it is beautiful - the weather was beautiful for the entire stay. We had a really nice time here and enjoyed many of the Charleston restaurants as well as those on Kiawah. Our favorites were:Rosebank Farms Cafe, Up Da Creek Seafoood Company, Wild Olive (great Italian food), Basils in Charleston. Island Soulfood Cafe had great low country food at reasonable prices, King Street Grille at Freshfields village.The above restaurants were for lunch and dinner in case it sounds as though all we did was eat. The weather was great, but that is not controlable, we just lucked out. The golf courses are beautiful to look at, but too expensive to golf on. Oh well, I didn't bring my clubs anyway!For shopping, World Apart on Maybank/Wapoo Road; Charleston Downtown Fruit Market on Saturday was a nice place to taste local fare and the merchants had lovely art work for sale. Some generous merchants even donated jewelry to our friend who is recuperating from surgery gone wrong. Everyone is so friendly here. Great views and a most comfortable villa.Fantastic! The house is great and enabled us to relax and enjoy our time together. We also took part in the vodka and wine tasting at the Vineyard and tasted tea at the only tea plantation in the US. Lots to see and do and of course the ocean provides a great backdrop. Thanks!

It's only Tuesday and we have been having a super time! Thanks for the flowers on the center table. Everyone is feeling so relaxed now - can't wait to continue this on Saturday....Well toady is Friday, August 7th. We are off to start a new tradition. We are heading to Hall's Chop House as recommended by a friend of Rebecca's. We would normally head to 82 Queen, but we are in a steak mood. The beach has been awesome - some good boogie board rides. Some super bike rides have been had and last night we rescued a baby raccoon from being run over. Today we are hopeful its mommy found it. W LOVE 1113 Duneside. We are all feeling SO relaxed. Thank you Conway family!Sat: Last night was a trip! Into Charleston for a delightful dinnner at Hall's Chop House. EXCELLENT! It is on King Street. Piano bar on ground floor, dining upstairs. Impeccable service. Then a walk down to 82 Queen to say hello and see the lovely lit courtyard - followed by a trip to River Street Sweets for some Pralines!What's not to love about Charleston and Kiawah Island?

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Kiawah. We loved staying in your home. We swam in the ocean most days, walked along the beach, collected shells, rode all over the island, visited Charleston, Fort Sumter, ate at Magnolias, cooked fun meals, played games, did puzzles and generallly had a wonderful time!

Walking, biking, gazing at the dolphins, golfing, multiple meals with good people- a most enjoyable respite from a NH winter. Most importantly, a time for family gatherings, catching up and cousin bonding. Next time? Kayaks and Charleston, can't wait! Also that boasted of New year's Day swim - next time. Your lovely Kiawah home is perfect for all and very relaxing. Happy New Year!

five star accomodation--we loved it. Beautifully furnished Just a few issues-- 1. the elevator kept making a noise and the call lights coming on. we called the resort but they were unable to fix the problem. 2. In additon, a lamp in the entry floor bedroom burned up--the plastic actually started to melt. Luckily, I was in the room when it happened and I immediately unplugged it and took it ouf ot the room. I called the resort on this problem as well but they did not come to fix it before we left. 3. You need a non-stick 8in sautee/fry pan for the kitchen

Owner response: I appreciate the feedback. The lamp and the sautee pan will be provided. As for the elevator, it seems to have a friendly impulse which makes it want to follow us, unbidden, from floor to floor. But as elevators go, it is harmless.
