About this property
Unique upscale 3 bdrm, 3 bath Oceanwoods cottage on lagoon; 150 yds from beach.
Available Apr. 11-21 and after Aug. 8. Welcome to this upscale, casual family cottage in one of America's most acclaimed resorts. 428 Sea Lavender Court is one of few cottages in the Oceanwoods community that has 3 full baths and a den. A recent complete renovation of the 1667 sq. ft. cottage included the installation of a kitchen gas range, a dishwasher, and a tankless gas water heater. The three bathrooms were completely updated in 2022 with beautiful ceramic tile and rimless shower doors. A cobblestone driveway and a path to a storeroom and shower area were added. This is not your typical beach rental! (A professional wide lens camera was used for most of the pictures.)
The cottage exterior has a unique and inviting look and is located on a neighborhood cul-de-sac. The kitchen, open to the living/dining area, has stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a bar with stools. Two small rooms on the front of the house include a dayroom with a sunny window seat and a separate laundry room with sink. The living area, opening to the screened porch, has a sofa/chaise lounge (from a Kiawah show house), two Sam Moore chairs and a 55” flat screen smart TV. The main ensuite and guest suite with private bath have comfortable queen-sized beds, chairs for reading or conversation, and upscale bedding. The third bedroom has custom-built bunk beds and a single platform bed with stylish bedding suitable for children or adults. All rooms except kitchen, laundry room and baths have ceiling fans.
Located on a peaceful lagoon 150 yards from Kiawah's 10-mile pristine beach, the cottage invites rest and relaxation. The walk to the beach is on a paved, shaded path that begins outside the cottage driveway. Our stretch of the beach, situated just west of the Night Heron condos and the 5-Star Sanctuary Hotel, remains uncrowded, inviting volleyball, bocci ball and other beach games. You also will want to spend time on the cottage's secluded, screened porch (with durable Brown Jordan furniture) from which you will look down the large lagoon and perhaps spot alligators, deer, bobcats, foxes, herons and abundant other species of birds. A charcoal grill facilitates a cook-out at any time. Wifi and four TVs (one for video games) are provided for additional enjoyment.
Four unisex bicycles are available for use on the island's 30 mile bike trails. Night Heron Park (The Nest restaurant, Nature Center, children's playground, basketball court, and more) is a 10 minute walk or a very short bike ride away. The island's shops, restaurants, and tennis and golf courses are within easy biking or driving distance. Freshfields shopping area is just outside the entrance to Kiawah and offers boutiques, gift shops, restaurants and an excellent grocery store. Superb restaurants are on the island and at nearby Bohicket Marina. Charleston, America’s top tourist destination with world class restaurants, is only 40 minutes away! If you come once, you will return! (NOTE: NO POOL FACILITIES ARE AVAILABLE WITH THIS RENTAL. )

The home was a perfect fit for our family of four and our beloved dog. Kiawah is a special spot we keep coming back to and this home was so comfortable and convenient to the beach. Anne is so easy to communicate with and we had everything we could need.

So glad you enjoyed your visit, Mark. You and your family are welcomed to return to the cottage at any time.
Our family of 5 loved staying in this cottage. It was such an easy walk to the beach and convenient to everything on Kiawah Island. The cottage had plenty of space for everyone and we left with plenty of wonderful memories!
My family has been traveling to Kiawah for over 30 years and this was one of the most convenient places we have ever stayed. Proximity to the beach is fantastic (less than 5 minute walk) and house had all the necessary amenities including well maintained bikes. Thank you for a great trip!

I am so pleased that you enjoyed the cottage and its location on the island. I hope that you and your family will return often. 😎
The cottage is very comfortable and clean. I enjoyed the back screen porch. The included beach gear and new bikes were great. I like that it’s an end unit. Very easy short walk to the beach.
Ann’s cottage was lovely! Would stay here again. We enjoyed the quiet location and the roominess for 4 adults and a dog. It was a short walk to the beach. It was furnished and decorated tastefully, the kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable, bathrooms nicely updated, laundry area was convenient. No complaints and I really wish I was still there : )

From the moment we walked in, we were so impressed with the home. It was so clean, decorated beautifully, equipped with everything you need. Ann was terrific to communicate with. The house is in perfect distance to beach, a very short walk, quiet neighborhood, and short bike ride to The Nest and Nature Center. We hope to return again. Thank you Ann for a wonderful stay!

Our family enjoyed our stay over the Thanksgiving holiday at this lovely, very comfortable cottage. Ann was a gracious host. The cottage is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, a short walk to the beach. The area is beautiful, and Charleston was an easy drive. We hope to return.

I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful home that we stayed at for our week's vacation! Tucked back at the end of the street, it always felt nice and private for our family. Enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch for drinks while looking for alligators in the pond! The house had anything and everything that you could possibly need -- wonderful linens, fully stocked kitchen, beautiful bathrooms, etc. There was also beach equipment that we could use and the 4 available bikes were a nice added touch for our stay. The walking/biking paths down there are truly unmatched! The stroll to the beach was super close, shaded by the beautiful trees and the actual beach was never crowded no matter what time of day you were there. I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you Ann for opening up such a lovely home for people to enjoy on the island!

This cottage provided a perfect retreat from our hectic city lives. My husband and I enjoyed the relaxing days spent there along with two of our grown sons. We all appreciated its quiet cul-de-sac setting while being just a short stroll to the pristine beach and steps from the bike paths. The property is spacious, clean and has a well equipped kitchen as we all love to cook. The comfortable decor is tastefully updated and lends the feel of a home away from home. This is a property that we plan to return to!

Thank you very much for choosing the Sea Lavender cottage for your family getaway, Diane. I enjoyed “getting to know you“ through our conversations and look forward to having you return to your “home away from home”! AQ
We just finished an extended stay at Ann’s wonderful Kiawah cottage in the Oceanwoods development. The location is perfect, providing privacy and easy access to the beach and walk/bike trails. The home is well-equipped and has many updates including bathrooms with walk-in showers and comfort height toilets. Best thing of all is the responsiveness and helpfulness of the owner. Ann was wonderful in making arrangements for a new microwave to be delivered and installed for us very quickly when the old one died. The only thing we really missed was a gas barbecue but there is a charcoal one available for those who like the traditional method of grilling plus a new gas range. We would definitely consider staying at Ann’s cottage again.
We had a wonderful stay! This will be my 45th year on Kiawah. Our family has always had a place here, but we needed more space this year. Ann is a great host! Check-in is easy. She provides four new adult bicycles that must be put away every night in the storage space and rinsed off before leaving. She has beach chairs, some beach games, sand-making tools, and a great outside shower. The shower on the boardwalk is also excellent. The pathway from her home to the beach is at a dead end, so there is no path noise. Her cottage backs up to a pond/lagoon. We saw deer every morning and evening, many birds, and a couple of alligators. The overhead fans help to keep the home cool. Her pantry was extensive, so take inventory before buying a ton at the store. I did leave her a few new items to replenish. As a local, do not buy food at HT at Fresh Fields, unless you want to pay 25% more. It is super convenient, but head to James Island! We have a great Publix, Harris Teeter, and Walmart. The beds were comfortable. The front bedroom had the most comfortable mattress, but I gave that room to my parents. My three kiddos stayed in the bunk room 10,14, and 18. Everyone seemed happy and slept well. You must bring your own beach towels, paper towels, toilet tissue, Kleenex, hand soap shampoo/conditioner, and body soap for the three bathrooms. Laundry detergent is provided to wash the sheets and towels at the end of your trip. Thank you Ann!

So happy that you enjoyed the cottage and found it to be comfortable. Thank you for such a thoughtful review. Your family will be welcomed back at any time. AQ
The place was just like in the pictures, but even a bit bigger than expected. Owner was super responsive to our questions or requests. Would recommend this place for groups of 4-6 going to Kiawah
We loved our time in Kiawah Island! The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and just a short 3 minute walk to a wonderful beach.
The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Instructions were very thorough and Ann was prompt and communicative with any questions I had.
Everything is walkable and/or a short bike ride away. There’s also a huge park and playground if you have kids.
We hope to come stay again next year! :)
This was our second time staying at this property and it won’t be the last. The location is PERFECT, house very clean upon arrival, and the kitchen is wonderfully stocked for families that love to cook and eat in. My family has been coming to Kiawah for 40 years and this is one of our all time favorite properties!
This is a nice unit in a really good location on Kiawah. It is private with a very short walk to the beach. The unit is well maintained and will be great when the bathrooms are renovated this winter! Overall, a great choice. We enjoyed Thanksgiving.
This was the perfect house for a family who loves going to the beach. A very quick 5 minute walk to the beach and the house allows everyone in the family to relaxed and comfortable.

About the host
Hosted by Ann (Anshus) Quattlebaum
I love Kiawah! I have been a property owner since 1978, when our family shared an Oceanwoods cottage with eight Greenville, SC families. I have owned the current cottage since 1993 and have made major additions/improvements three times over the years. I currently split my time living between the Kiawah cottage and a Greenville townhouse that I share with a daughter and son-in-law. As a result, cottage availability is limited. Book early!
I am a retired clinical social worker, ending my career in 2011 at Furman University, my alma mater. I have three adult children and seven grandchildren, all of whom love Kiawah as much as I do. We rent a second house every Fourth of July week so that we can be together "at the beach".
Why they chose this property
Kiawah is an exceptional family vacation spot. This cottage is ideal for a large family, a multigenerational family, or two average-size families. Potty trained and well-behaved, non-shedding dogs up to 40 lbs. are welcome with an additional payment.
What makes this property unique
The cottage location is on a quiet, private cut-de-sac very close to an uncrowded strand of Kiawah's beach. A lagoon surrounds the back yard and its serenity and wildlife can be enjoyed from the screened porch or, when the weather is chilly, through large windows in the den. As an added convenience, four bicycles and beach chairs are available for your use.
