Ocean,Pool, Dock,River! This Place Has it!
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Inlet Cove
We bought our little piece of paradise quite by accident when we visited Kiawah for a friend's wedding. When we saw our cottage, we thought it was almost too good to be true. It had everything we were looking for in a place by the sea. There's an easy walk to the beach and a beautiful pool and the location by the river makes it ideal for us to enjoy canoeing and kayaking. We also catch Atlantic blue crabs there that we love to eat! The house itself has a screened porch, a fireplace and a view of the water. What could be better?
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Our cottage is in the middle of what seems like a nature preserve with all kinds of birds, wildlife (deer, bobcats, alligators!) and we regularly see dolphins coming in to feed in the river. Biking on the beach, tennis, and boating are high on our list. Of course, Kiawah is known for the fantastic golf courses right out our front door. We're only 20-30 minutes away from downtown Charleston, a beautiful historic city with world-class restaurants. There's a great aquarium there too.

Best Week Ever

Our week at this cottage was the best R&R I have ever had. We practically had the island to ourselves. Very few people were on the beach or at the pool the 1st week of May. The weather was perfect. We could not have ask for any better time to have gone. I can't thank the owners enough for allowing us to use their cottage. All the information provided by the owners at the cottage and delivered prior to our arrival was the best, on what to do, where to eat, get food, etc. I wish I could have stayed another week.

We have been to Kiawah over 6 different times, and we always stay in inlet cove. My father is 71 and enjoys fishing off the dock and riding his bike to the river to fish. My daughters love the beach, bike trails, and pools. My mother loves the homey atmosphere of the cottage and the close proximity to the beach and pool since she does not like riding bicycles. We all love going to the river at low tide to watch the dolphins. We had a special treat this year as a pair of dolphiins not only got onto the river bank once but twice. Very beautiful and exciting. This year, we had some days of bad weather, (the rain must have followed us) but this did not stop us from having a great time. On the days that it was raining, the cottage was well appointed with board games, puzzles, and 4 televisions with DVD players. The internet access was greatly appreciated. We were able to take pictures and load them right away and send to family and friends. We had 3 generations staying at this cottage and we all had plenty to entertain us. The ownerrs even had a supply of beach towels that we were allowed to use. We always pack our own food and from past experiences I also pack certain utensils that could not be found in the other cottages that we had rented. This time there were plenty of dishes, pots and pans, steamers, serving utensils and towels. If you are to fly to Charleston and stay at this cottage, you would not have to worry about extra items for food preparation. The gas grill was great since we did not have to pack charcoal and lighter fluid. The only extra items that you may want to take to this cottage would be a vegetable brush, salt and pepper and any special seasonings that you prefer. This cottage truly had all the necessary basics if you plan on cooking your own meals. I wish my own home was as nicely decorated as this cottage was.

Our family enjoyed our trip to Kiawah. We were impressed with the amenities of the cottage and its location. We used the information sent to us by the owners with restaurant suggestions, directions, etc. quite often. The beach, pool and fishing/crabbing dock were only a 5 - 7 min. walk from the house. We would definitely rent here again.

We have never rented a place in which more care was taken to insure that the visitor had everything needed to enjoy a vacation. The cottage is so close to the beach and pool/dock that it makes it so easy to enjoy whatever you feel like doing. Also, the wildlife was exciting with dear outside the porch at night. We would definitly rent here again!

We really enjoyed our time in Kiawah. The cottage was great! It was clean and well appointed. We loved being within walking distance of the beach and pool. Everything else was a short bike ride. We hope to visit this wonderful island get away again soon.

Very lovely, comfortable home, situated beautifully, with easy access to the ocean. Great base from which to explore beautiful Kiawah Island and tour historic Charleston. Dual large bathrooms and baths made it ideal accommodations for two couples. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Wouldn't hestiate to return. Very positive, A+ experience from all perspectives.

We felt like we were in the middle of a forest when we stayed at this cottage! The first morning we saw a bobcat out back and some very unusual birds. The cottage was very comfortable--a nice place to make memories!

We loved our recent stay at Riverview Cottage. We've been to Kiawah many times, but this was our first time staying in the Inlet Cove community. We loved the home and the Inlet Cove community - home was nicely furnished, short walk to the beach, short bike ride to the pool and shared dock area (which has a really stunning view). It was also very easy to access the various shopping areas. We would definitely stay here again.

We vacation on Kiawah often and have just had a second stay in this unit. It is by far the most comfortable place we have rented. It is more a well appointed home than a vacation rental. The porch is so comfortable and private with the sound of the ocean and the birds. We will be back.

We loved staying at your house on Kiawah Island! We had a great time kayaking on the river and seeing all of the island wildlife (we even got to see dolphins in the river one day!). It was so relaxing to sit on the back porch enjoying the view of the river and the evening sunsets. And since the house is just five minutes from the beach, we spent a lot of time sunning, biking at low tide, making sandcastles, and swimming. One of our favorite things to do was walk on the beach at night. We have never seen so many stars!Your house is ideally located to the new shopping area right off the island. It was great to have groceries, restaurants, and shops so close!We can’t wait for our next visit to your home in paradise!Mark & Melissa JohnstonSilver Spring, MD
