Location: Private Homes, Kiawah Island, Charleston Area, South Carolina, USA (21 miles to Charleston, South Carolina)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
Our home is undoubtedly the most reasonably priced house on the beach. The only thing between our front row home and the beach is the dunes, our private dune deck, and our beach boardwalk. Walk out the door of our home and access Kiawah's spectacular ten mile beach and the glistening Atlantic Ocean in our backyard.
In the house, you can hear the surf and feel the ocean breeze. Staying DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH makes your vacation much more enjoyable...(and there are fewer hassles). You can put your beach gear out in the morning and leave it all day. It is a luxury to be able to walk a few steps to the house for a drink or for lunch, to take a break from the sun, to check on your family or catch the news (or, if you must, check your email). Our dune deck is a wonderful spot for morning coffee, happy hour, sunbathing, surf watching, and stargazing (it has a big sky view). You can also take your baby monitor and spend time under the sun or the moon, while keeping tabs on your sleeping infant or TV-watching children in the house.
The living room has ample, comfortable seating (2 sofas; 1 converts to a comfortable double bed). It has Cable TV/DVD/VCR and component stereo system and woodburning fireplace. The dining room seats eight and has a sideboard. The kitchen is well-equipped and has a bar with three stools at the window. The screened porch has a small dining table and eight comfortable cushioned chairs.
The master bedroom has a very comfortable king bed, two dressers, rattan sofa and chair, and cable TV/VCR. The second bedroom has a comfortable king bed, two dressers, and rattan chair. The third bedroom has new twin beds and two dressers. Both baths were updated in 2005.
Cypress walls and ceilings and hardwood floors throughout give the house a clean, charming, beach house ambiance. The yard is large with stately live oaks and palm trees and there is a two-car carport. The house is clean and well-equipped. However, we do not provide beach towels or beach chairs (but chairs and umbrellas can be rented on the beach).
Strolling the ten mile long, pristine, wide Kiawah Beach or swimming, boogie boarding, or body surfing in the calm Atlantic waters cannot be beat. Birdwatching (pelicans, egrets, herons, sand pipers, etc.), dolphin and shrimp boat watching, and wildlife/nature watching (alligators, deer, bobcats, etc.) are restful pastimes. Surf fishing, crabbing, and shrimping are some of the favorite activities on Kiawah. Kayaks, surf boards, and windsurfing gear can be rented on the beach. Canoes can be rented on the Kiawah River.
Bicycling is a favorite activity. Rental bikes can be ordered in advance and delivered the day you arrive. There are 30 miles of bike trails all over the Island. We are a short walk to the Straw Market shops and restaurants. Bohicket Marina, right off the Island, has restaurants, shops, boats for rent, parasailing, deep-sea fishing, etc. The new, picturesque Freshfield's Market at the entrance to Kiawah offers restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, soda fountain, bookstore, outdoor outfitter, fashion boutiques, banks, great grocery store, concerts, local produce at farmer's market, and much more. There is more to do than ever on Kiawah... or you can do absolutely nothing!!! There is a never-ending assortment of activities in neighboring Charleston and around the Low Country (museums, plantations, aquarium, Fort Sumter, shops, restaurants, theatre, etc.). Kiawah is a gorgeous, tranquil, safe island, perfect for a family vacation. We'd love to rent our relaxing beachfront home to you.
