COMFORTABLE, COZY, & ACCESSIBLE

During 2010, we spent two enjoyable weeks in the Spring and one additional week in the fall residing in this wonderful cottage. During 2011, we spent two entire months in the late winter and early spring enjoying this same cottage. What we like most about our stays was how comfortable and cozy the cottage always felt and its ability to house our two grandchildren and my mother-in-law. The cottage had everything that we needed (especially the WI-FI access and cable TV). In so many ways, the cottage felt just like home. We love the cottage's accessibility to the beach (less than a 5 minute walk) and to Fresh Fields (a 15 minute bike ride). And the most precious memories, were the long quiet walks/bike rides on one of the most lovely beaches on the East Coast. As for a recommendation, all I can say is that we will be back again during the winter of 2012 and I can't wait.

Nice property in a great location. Just close enough to the beach but yet still private. Owner was easy to work with and we found the property to be as described, neat and well maintained. An easy 30 minute drive to Charleston.

We had a wonderful time at this cottage, We even got to bring our dog and he had the best time ever! The home was well stocked and spotless. It seemed to be well maintained and updated from what the pictures showed - new hardwood floors throughout, new marble and tile bathrooms. It was a great location with only a short walk to the beach which us old folks needed. The owner was very helpful when I spoke with her on the phone. It was a fantastic place to stay. We've stayed at other places on Kiawah and this place tops them all. Can't wait to come back next year!

We spent the week of April 23 - 30, 2011 at this beautiful cottage at Kiawah. Our party included older adult parents with their sons and their families. The cottage was spacious and well accommodated our family. The cottage was very clean and the furnishings made us feel right at home. The location of the cottage was just a short walk to the pool and beach. It was very private and offered a wonderful patio for relaxing and outside entertainment. The owners did everything they could to ensure our vacation was the best. The owners were very responsive to any questions or concerns that we had. When planning our next vacation, this cottage and location will be our first choice. The vacation could not have been more relaxing or fun.
Owner response:We look forward to having you and your family vacation at our home again soon.

Kiawah Paradise

Kiawah is the perfect spot for a relaxing vacation with beaches, wildlife and sports galore. My favorite experience was sitting on the deck one evening when I heard an unfamiliar sound and looked up from my book---and there were three deer strolling through the back of the property! We also saw many birds, shells, a gator (but not near the house!) and dolphins. So peaceful! The house is well appointed and has room for eight if you have eight folks willing to share two bathrooms. The bathrooms had marble sinks and new tile on the floor and the showers. I liked the outdoor shower that let us hose off the beach and kept bathrooms free. There were mountains of towels available and a laundry room to keep them all washed and ready for the next day's adventure. Our favorite local restaurant was Rosebanks on the way toward Seabrook Island. The food was fabulous. We ate at the cottage most of the time because the grocery store there, Fairfields, had great partially prepared foods and lots of gourmet selections that made staying home for dinner very appealing. We enjoyed eating on the deck of the cottage...well, I did! My daughter thought it was a bit too close to nature with birds, squirrels, deer, and live oak acorns---but that is why I loved it! The cottage looks a little bit different from the provided pictures---different bedding, wallpaper gone, different light fixtures, but the basics are accurate as far as location, layout and amenities. The property was attractive, clean, and had more dihes, towels and sheets than we needed! I recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable vacation surrounded by a beautiful, natural setting.

BEWARE RENTERS MY VACATION ???????????

POOR VISIT IN THIS HOME , KITCHEN INFESTED WITH GERMAN COCK RAOCHES , DIRTY DISHES, DIRTY OVEN AND KITCHEN OVERALL.. 2ND BEDROOM BED UNSLEEPABLE DUE TO BOX SPIRNG NOISE ,AND ONLY ENOUGH HOT WATER FOR TWO PEOPLE TO TAKE A SHOWER THAN GETS COLD . CUT VACATION SHORT AND LEFT EARLY DUE TO PROBLEMS BEWARE BEWARE
Owner response:We regret that this guest is unhappy and we tried to be responsive to his needs. We take pride in insuring that all of our guests have an enjoyable visit at our home and feel this guest's review is inaccurate. Our pest control company responded immediately treating our home and stated that roaches are a common coastal problem and felt the problem was under control and would treat again in a few days to be sure all were gone. We found when arranging for a workman to come in that the guest had violated the signed rental agreement by bringing a pet without our permission and not paying the pet deposit. As to the oven there was ash in the bottom of the oven as the housekeeper had run the self cleaning oven cycle which was not finished when she departed so the ash could not be removed. In the future she will make sure the oven has finished the cleaning cycle and unlocks so she can remove the ash. We discussed this review with our housekeeper and she understands the importance of having our home sparking clean. In the past we have had guests praise the high standards of cleanliness. We have never had prior complaints concerning cleanliness,roaches, box spring noise, or hot water. The guest's early departure was mid-day on a rainy Friday with check out time being Saturday morning at 10:00 a.m. The guest requested a refund. As you can see, there were issues on both sides. We have many glowing reviews in our guest book in our home and have many guests that have return visits on a regular basis and have referred us to others. We will try to make our home at Kiawah our guest's home away from home and our guest's vacation as enjoyable as we can.

I've been meaning to write this review since last summer - my family (baby and 2 dogs) stayed at this property during Labor Day last year - we've stayed in a few of the Kiawah Island rentals over the years and this was our favorite so far. The unit is well cared for - everything is in working order. We could not believe how pleasant and quiet the island was during a holiday weekend (usually so busy and packed at the beach that time of year). We simply had a wonderful time. I was reminded my review was overdue now that I'm looking to book this property again - we enjoyed it so much, we are anxious to come back.

We found the cottage to be comfortable, the kitchen very well equipped and the linens very generous. It was a short walk or bike ride to the beach and pool. Even though we did not bring our dog - the beach in this area does permit dogs on leashes which was a plus. We love Kiawah in general and this was a very nice cottage at a reasonable rate. We had 2 adults and 4 teenage girls.

This property was as advertised and I found the owners added to making my visit to Kiawah a great experience. The location is perfect, just a short stroll to the beach. My elderly Lab seemed like a pup again as we explored this private island paradise. Watching the deer sit outside the screened back porch while enjoying a morning cup of coffee was a real treat for city folks. The cottage provided everything needed for a extended stay. The owners provided a wealth of information to help us navigate a absolute enjoyable trip. Look forward to returning for years to come, it is a true gem.
