  • What a wondeful home! We had two families with teenagers and everyone loved the space. I can't remember a more relaxing vacation. The location is especially great for beach access and close proximity to trails and the park. We loved it. Thanks Erin for all of your help and sharing your home.

  • We had a wonderful family vacation at this beautiful home in May. Plenty of room for 3 families. The separate house is so convenient for getting the younger ones down for the evening. The pool was a delight. This is our second trip to Kiawah and thought this home was great. Thanks to Erin for all the info and making our visit effortless.

  • We had only been home 2 weeks when my niece said "I'm ready to go back to Kiawah." The 147 Hooded Merganser exceeded our expectations! The way the home is designed was perfect for 3 families and the kitchen was the ideal gathering area. As others have mentioned, Erin is always available to answer questions and help with any need. I would not hesitate to recommend this beautiful home with easy beach access and wonderful pool.

  • 147 Hooded Merganser was perfect for our family. The house is beautifully appointed and very well maintained. The separate guest house was great for our older son and his family with three small children. Our teenage son and we enjoyed the roomy main house bedrooms. While everyone liked being together for day time fun and dining, private sleeping quarters were appreciated. All of the bathrooms are beautifully done and the showers are huge and welcoming. The large kitchen is a great gathering place and the table easily accomodated our family of seven and a baby. Speaking of the baby, the house comes equipped with a pack and play and high chair. The extra we paid for heating the pool in April was worth every penny. Even though temps. were in the 60s, no one hesitated to get in the pool - so much fun! We also enjoyed bike riding and kite flying on the beach - a short walk (7-10 min) or even shorter bike ride (5 min or less). We had never been to Kiawah before and would definitely come back. We would definitely recommend 147 Hooded Merganser. Bay Village, OH

  • FANTASTIC! Absolutely gorgeous house with a wonderfully equipped kitchen and lovely pool. Great location with a short bike ride to the beach. Professional management by concientious owners. I selfishly wanted to refrain from comment to keep this place our family's secret.

  • We have vacationed at Kiawah 15 times since the early 80's with this time being the first with our daughters and their families, including three grandchildren. The Duncan's home is overall the nicest accommodation that we have rented there. It is a perfect design for multiple families with young children, as well as a great location for easy beach and bike trail access. Erin Duncan was excellent to work with, particularly her quick responses to all questions. We were totally satisfied with this rental.

  • We took our family of eleven to Kiawah June 16th to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. The island, beaches, ocean and five golf courses were beautiful but the Duncan house was perfect. It lends itself to all ages - whether it be quiet time on the screened in porch, playing games in the courtyard with the young adults, swimming in the pool, getting something to eat in the gourmet kitchen, escaping to the game room or even doing a load of wash. Erin Duncan was just a phone call away, she was so helpful and the booklet she mailed prior to our trip had many useful suggestions. Having the bikes delivered and reserving beach chairs and umbrellas were a great convenience. Erin thinks of everything. This is a spacious, beautifully appointed home, complete with everything one needs and more. Such luxury! We talk about our vacation but the topic always ends up about "the house", the memories linger on and we hope to return.

  • My family spent a splendid week at this lovely Kiawah home. We brought three families from across the country together for a week and our experience surpassed our expectations. The home is absolutely beautiful and could not be in a better location with proximity to the beach and bicycle trails. The layout of the home is fantastic and accomodated 3 families so easily. The guest house is ideal for gatherings for children. The courtyard pool is beautiful and the covered portico area is so comfortable and relaxing. The main house is incredible...huge kitchen with all of the amenities, spacious dining room, beautifully appointed family room, and 2 master bedrooms with fabulous baths. Not only did the grown-ups love it, but the kids did as well. We sincerely hope to be frequent return renters!!! Erin Duncan and her family are delightful to work with, making the entire experience just a great Holiday!!

  • Our family just returned from a week at the Duncan's wonderful vacation home. The home went beyond our expectations. It was beautifully appointed and extremely comfortable. We had 3 separate families staying in this home and we were never in each other's way. If you wanted privacy, you could find it. If everyone wanted to spend time together you could do that too. We would not hesitate to stay here again

  • This was my family's first time vacationing at Kiawah and we hit the jackpot with this home. The layout, the proximity to bike paths and the ocean (in fact, very easy access to the nicest stretch of beach on the island) and contracting with Erin can't be beat. My 3 generation group thanks you for such an enjoyable experience!
