This house offers the ideal Kiawah location for a family and/or group of friends who loves the beach. We were an easy 5 minute walk away from the beach!

We are happy you enjoyed the location! Hope to see you again.
Our experience was great! We spent little time in the rental because we were there for a dance competition, but the house was clean and the king bed was soooo comfortable! Thank you!
Beautiful updated villa with screened in porch.
3 min walk to the beach. Guests need to be sure to buy or bring extras for kitchen and bathroom.
We enjoyed our stay on Kiawah.

Thank you, Jaime, for your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful, updated villa and its close proximity to the beach. We do provide a starter pack of supplies to get guests through the first night of their stay. Thank you for staying with us, and we’re glad you enjoyed your time on Kiawah.
We’ve been vacationing on Kiawah since the 70’s — when VERY little of the island was developed and there was still a herd of wild ponies. We’ve watched the multi-million-dollar homes go up — and they are magnificent — but our favorite weeks at Kiawah have been spent in Ocean Woods. Comfortable, homey cottages in an unbeatable location. This cottage is not fancy, but it has been well maintained and has everything you need for a relaxing stay.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Sally! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay in Ocean Woods and appreciated the cottage’s comfort and location. It’s great to know that it provided everything you needed for a relaxing stay. We hope to welcome you back for many more memorable trips!
This is a very nice area, safe, with gatekeepers that make sure everyone entering the island is a legitimate guest. There were shaded walkways on the short, pleasant walk to the beach. Clean and comfortable furniture. Quiet family-friendly neighborhood, on a no-outlet road so no thru traffic.

Thank you, Adam, for your 5-star review! We're pleased you enjoyed the safe, gated area, shaded walkways, and the clean, comfortable furniture. We're glad you found the neighborhood quiet and family-friendly.
The location is excellent. The house itself needs a few updates on the interior, and the floor was sandy when we first walked in. Sweetgrass was extremely responsive during our stay. We enjoyed our time (extended our stay one extra night) and really enjoyed walking to and from the beach and Night Heron Park with our kids. Overall the place is good, but a few updates are needed for it to be excellent. We would consider coming back.

We have been visiting Kiawah since the 70’s, and Ocean Woods is our favorite neighborhood. This cottage is a new favorite! Recently remodeled, clean, attractive decor, well equipped, and excellent location. We will be back!

Glad to hear you have a new favorite. Can't wait for you to come back.
We had a WONDERFUL stay at this property! The location was probably the best feature! So close to the beach, which was important to us! Even though it was just two of us, and we didn’t need the two additional bedrooms, it was nice to have it so spacious. The owner’s suite had a very comfortable bed, the kitchen was well stocked. They let you know up front that certain items are enough in quantity for starter only and not a whole week, but they provide a well thought out list of additional items to bring. I recommend looking at that while packing. The area was peaceful, clean, and had parking. The only suggestion I have which is small, is the bathroom with the tub, needs something on tub floor, it’s very slippery! We love Kiawah, and would definitely stay at this property again!

What a wonderful review Carla! Thank you so much for the kind words and the helpful suggestions :)
Had a Wonderful Time!!!!
A perfect place to stay for a vacation. Everything was Great with Rental - Clean and well stocked with everything we needed as a family. Perfect!!!!
Would recommend to anyone.
We stayed here with family for a week in October and had a fabulous time. We were 3 adults and 2 kids (ages 7 and 1), and we were all very comfortable in the house. The location is amazing. The house is well kept and had everything we needed. Loved the screened in porch and deck. Check in and check out were a breeze. Will stay again!
Beautiful location, close to beach and nice restaurants and grocery store. We loved the porches and seeing the birds and alligators in canal behind the house.

More than 300 steps
It advertises 300 steps from the beach...not true. Not that well appointed.
Our stay was wonderful! House is comfortable, well equipped and very walkable to the beach. Kiawah is a beautiful island with wide beaches and lots of bike trails.
