Map & Owner's Profile
Owner's Map of Mariners Watch
About Property Managers: Shawn and Jeanette Lawson (Kiawah Island Getaways)
Shawn's family discovered Kiawah in 1978 and returned year after year for two-week vacations. In 1985 we drove our VW Bug convertible to Kiawah and Shawn introduced me to Kiawah. I remember stepping over the dune boardwalk out in front of the Kiawah Island Inn and seeing Kiawah's wide, sandy beach for the first time - it was so brilliant it practically danced before my eyes. It was during this vacation that the two of us decided to set our sights on moving to this beautiful and fascinating place permanently.
In 1988 our dreams came true and our U-Haul rattled across the Kiawah Island bridge (at that time it was nothing more than a wood-planked bridge). For the next four years we rented a 1-bedroom villa, 4251 Mariner's Watch. Shawn was so thrilled to be living on the island that he spent the additional money required for the personalized South Carolina license plate "KIAWAH" (which we still own today).
In 1992, we built our first home on the island at 134 Conifer Lane. During construction, I gave birth to our first son Benjamin - he arrived 2 months early in an ambulance outside of the Kiawah Island Fire Station.
In 2001, we purchased our first villa, a 1-bedroom, beachside Seascape (3563) and Kiawah Island Getaways was born. Once we got our feet wet with the villa rental business, it was a like a fever for us. We both really enjoyed furnishing, decorating and maintaining the villas - not to mention the new found fun of meeting and talking to all sorts of people about Kiawah. Because we really enjoy what we do, other Kiawah Property Owners noticed and we started managing their properties as well.
Our whole family loves Kiawah and running Kiawah Island Getaways is a true family-run business. We personally prepare each villa prior to your arrival - because we want your stay to be perfect. We want you to fall in love with Kiawah too...and we know you will!!

This villa provided a perfect getaway for my husband and I. It had a clean, contemporary update and looked exactly as pictured. It was clean, warm and inviting, and was exceptionately appointed. Jeanette and Shawn thought of everything- a picnic cooler, bicycle pump, silicon spray for the bikes, a beach tote, a great game selection, and the ultimate welcoming touch: iced beer mugs in the freezer!! The notes and recommendations in the activities book were right on and helped us make the perfect selections of where to play and eat. We felt like we were staying with friends!! I cannot say enough about the personal touches and the care with which the Lawsons approach their property- it made for an outstanding experience. We have stayed in many Kiawah properties over the years and have never had such a positive experience in terms of ambience of the villa and attention to details by our hosts. The thoroughness demonstrated by the owners was unmatched! Would I recommend this property or stay at another Kiawah Island Getaways property? Absolutely and without hesitation!! Thank you for making our return to paradise such a delight!

The condo at Mariner's Watch was just what I needed. The property was very clean and welcoming upon my arrival. The Lawson's of Kiawah Island Getaways were so accommodating and easy to work with I felt like I knew them personally. The proximity to Charleston without the headache of the traffic is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you to Kiawah Island Getaways for making my time spent on Kiawah like "coming home" only better.

Great place to stay on Kiawah! Nicely decorated, super clean and comfortable. Very close to the beach. Everything you would need was already there. Felt like we were staying at our own vacation home. The Lawson's are so efficient and helpful. They go out of their way to make you have a nice trip. Can't wait to return.

This was our first visit to Kiawah Island and we just loved it! It was the perfect place to take two energetic little boys. The villa was lovely, clean, and very well-equipped. We can't wait to return!

My husband and I have been visiting Kiawah since our four children were young. We have come with all of our adult children and grandchildren a couple of times but this was our first visit by ourselves! The Mariner was perfect. Just a hop and a skip to the beach and the villa provides you with all the amenities. Love the keyless entry! We had a great time. Thanks.

Kiawah island is amazing and the villa was perfect. I am still recovering from my sunburn I received while spending endless relaxing hours reading on the beach. I want to retire to kiawah...it is perfect!

We had a fantastic stay at the "Mariner". It was perfect for us with the two little kids. So close to the beach and easy access to everything else. What a great vacation!
