The cottage rental was immaculate, comfortable, and perfectly located on the island for our first Kiawah Island adventure. Having access to the nearby Night Heron resort pool was perhaps crucial to the overall enjoyment of our stay, as some windy afternoons kept us from enjoying the beach. On those days, we had the luxury of moving from the beach and continuing our day poolside, just a quick walk or bike ride away, with the benefit of charging food and beverages to our rental account. The pool access amenity with this rental should be greatly valued, as we met many families on the windy beach who were disappointed to have chosen rental homes without pool access. It was outfitted with all the kitchen, bedding and bath extras you could need, including storage containers, kids utensils and serving ware, paper towels, tissue, detergent, coffee filters, extra blankets and pool and beach toys. We felt comfortable and as though at home. Even the neighbors were welcoming and friendly. Along with watching for the deer that would wander by the back porch most mornings as we sipped coffee, we enjoyed family evenings making meals, playing games, and gathering to watch a movie. Larry was exceptional with communication and recommendations for offsite dining to suit our family, all of which were excellent choices. Access to rental bikes was very easy, and such fun to actually ride on the beach and explore the extensive island paths, riding past alligators basking in the sun, in search of the resort ice cream shop, the marshland nature towers, or just taking in the sights of the many impressive golf courses and surrounding homes. We were comfortable letting the kids, aged 13-9yrs, venture on their own to the soccer field and playground at the park. The grocery was a short 10 minute drive at Freshfields, or the small resort Town Market was a 5 minute bike ride away. Charleston was a great day trip away. I wouldn't change a thing about this rental. A great family trip and an excellent vacation rental choice.
