Vacation Rentals by Owner

Outstanding Villa!

We visit Kiawah island 2 or 3 times a year, usually renting an oceanfront villa. This time we decided to try a villa with a lake view, and we are so happy we did! The villa had a great split-level layout, with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms --perfect for a family with 2 or 3 kids. The furnishings were upscale, very comfortable and relatively new; in fact the entire villa appeared to have been renovated recently. My wife loved the updated kitchen with all appliances in good condition and cabinets stocked with everything she needed. My son loved the comfy couch, flat panel tv with hi def channels and his private bedroom and bathroom on the lower level. And the two decks overlooking the lake were simply wonderful --we could have spent all of our time out there and been perfectly happy. We have spent much more money on less well-kept and less spacious villas at Kiawah in the past. In the future, we will always look for this villa first!

My wife and I, along with 2 other couples, rented this villa from April 2 - 9, 2011. It was our 15th or 16th visit to Kiawah, and the other couples had also been to the island with us several times before. All 6 of us agreed that this unit was the best we've ever rented together. Each couple had total privacy, yet we enjoyed the screened porch and dock together. The views overlooking the large pond at Night Heron Park was thoroughly enjoyed by all. It was quite evident that the owners had made a considerable investment in updating the villa which was very comfortable and well located on the island.

We came to the island for the wedding of our son. This villa represented everything we could have wished for. Wonderfully decorated, clean, beautiful view of the lagoon, where we could watch the alligators, birds, turtles, and fish jumping!! I deck out in front and a covered porch on the second floor. It could not have been more beautiful!! We would have loved to stay a second week but unfortunately it was booked already. Next time!!! We highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a wonderful vacation!!! Thanks!!!

"Our time on Kiawah has been amazing and we are sad to see the end. We love the house and have already begun to plan for next year! We had many adventures and great meals. Say hi to the 12 ft gator! Our son loved him and the fish! We all enjoyed Mingo Point, tie-dye at Night Heron Park, and the jumping fish!"

"Another amazing week at the Henshaw villa here on K.I. We certainly hope to return in 2009 for our 3rd visit. You have such a beautiful and comfortable place on such a relaxing island. We enjoyed the gators and even saw a bobcat. Thanks for sharing your home with us. We love it!"

We've stayed at this exact villa two years in a row and hope to make in three in 2009. The unit is beautiful and the updates are top notch! It sits on a lagoon where you watch the alligators and birds from either the outside deck or the screened in porch. The pool and beach are both within a 5 minute walk. So the location cannot be topped. We'd highly recommend this villa for your stay on Kiawah!

"Thanks for letting us stay in your beautiful, comfy villa. The double fireworks display, the beautiful beach, gator on the raft, proximity of the park and The Sanctuary - all combined to make a wonderful week. Played lots of tennis, too!"

"This is our 7th visit to Kiawah Island. This was the nicest villa we have stayed in. This year we saw lots of critters including 2 alligators in the lagoon, 3 species of lizards, 2 snakes, a very large mouse, lots of dolphins, a lynx, a fox, a possum, and a loggerhead turtle!! We played in the surf, swam in the pool, and rode bicycles - wonderful summertime fun!! Thanks."

"This is our 9th visit to Kiawah Island! We had a great week and the villa is perfectly located between the beach and Nature Center. Not too crowded so we felt like we had the island to ourselves. Lots of interesting things at the beach kept us busy collecting."
