About this property

Romantic Oceanfront Escape for Couples

A peaceful oceanfront retreat for couples who want to relax, reconnect, and wake up near the beach.

The Escape at Windswept is a beautifully prepared 1-bedroom oceanfront villa on Kiawah Island’s East Beach. Designed for couples, it offers lovely ocean views, a calm atmosphere, and an easy layout that makes it simple to settle in and enjoy your time together.

Step onto the oceanfront balcony for morning coffee, a glass of wine at sunset, or a quiet moment listening to the waves. The beach is just a one-minute walk away, so the ocean is always close.

The king bedroom is designed for rest, featuring a pillow-top mattress, memory foam topper, and soft Egyptian cotton sheets. A large smart TV, spacious walk-in shower, fully equipped kitchen, and in-villa washer and dryer make longer stays comfortable and convenient.

Perfect for anniversaries, honeymoons, or simply a peaceful getaway for two on Kiawah Island.

Please note that this property does not include access to the Kiawah Island Golf Resort pools.

To help you enjoy your time on the beach, we provide complimentary beach towels and a cooler with every stay. Beach chairs, bikes, boogie boards, and baby equipment are also available to rent for an additional fee.

So appreciated the natural light of the unit, and the mechanical lighting. I am visually impaired, so this was most helpful. So appreciated the quality of the furnishings. Even my husband remarked about this.We have stayed in rentals that looked inviting, until we began to unpack and felt like uninvited guests, as there was nowhere to put our belongings, due to the excessive decorating (pillows, floral arrangements, etc.My benchmark of a good rental is, can we be happy there during the day if weather kept us indoors, and the answer was absolutely positive.

We could not have asked for a better location! The weather was beautiful, the room was fantastic and clean, and we had the beach to ourselves. When we checked in, the owner had a delicious plate of deviled eggs ready for us! It was a great experience, and we hope to return soon!

Breathtaking Views with Amazing Accommodations

This beautiful property was the perfect stay for my wife and I on our honeymoon. We could not have asked for a better location and host. The place was clean, well stocked, and had everything you could need for a vacation at the beach. Short walk to a wonderful park with a place for morning coffee and breakfast. Very close to nationally ranked golf courses and The Ryder Cup Bar, highly suggest! Waking up with ocean views made for a great start to each day on the quiet yet eventful island!

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 applied for the personalized South Carolina license plate 'KIAWAH' (which we still have 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 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.
