About Elisabeth St. John
Friends took us to lunch at the Ocean Club, and I said: 'Give me a kayak and a bike and pick me up in 5 years.' That is how we fell in love with Kiawah, and we want to share our lovely home with you. Coming from Aruba, Hilton Head and Fripp, we found Kiawah has the ambiance and the beauty we thought was no longer available. Come bike and walk on the beach with us, kayak with me, watch the deer graze in our yard.....alligators cruise the shore of the lagoon, the water-fowl make their graceful landings, golf on the most gorgeous courses, and fall in love with Kiawah with us! Kindest Regards, Elisabeth and Wade St. John
Elisabeth St. John purchased this house in 2016
Why Elisabeth St. John chose Kiawah Island
Kiawah Island .... what's not to love!
We also love the cool NC mountains--check out vrbo listing #330336, our 7 BR lodge-style home, named SkyHigh!
What makes this house unique
We hear the surf and can see the tidal changes in the lagoon--we don't need a tidal clock! The golf course surrounds our property, yet does not intrude, and the wild-life you see when just sitting on the porch is such a gift. Do you know what a Oster-Toadfish is? Neither did I until I saw this unusual creature in the lagoon. And, the Kiawah Nature Center identified it for us!
Guestbook comments from the owner
We loved the fire place! It was so cozy with the lower temperatures outside. The guys played golf and had a great time.The home is very well equipped and very clean. Everything was great.

Beautiful property - perfect place to relax!
Sort walk (or bike ride) to the beach...perfect layout in home for family groups...great entertainment just a step away! Owners are caring and great to work with...why stay anywhere else???
The Perfect Stay
We have stayed with the St. John's at Sweetgrass 1 and this unit far surpasses our hopes. After years of dealing with Wade and Elisabeth they are a pleasure to deal with both in business and personally. After all these years we call them friends. You can count on them, their word is gold.
The house Is perfectly located and close to beach access. The house is well equipped with everything you an possibly need. The multiple seating areas are great for having multiple conversations.
Do yourself a favor and book it. We sure will again and again.

A piece of Heaven on a bed of Sweetgrass!
This is our fifth year of Bi-Annual visits to this place of perfection. If you are looking for a quite, relaxing venue surrounded by the sea, a plethora of cuisine choices and lots of natural adventures...this is the place. The house has privacy with convenience to activities - well equipped and comfortably appointed. A great layout for multiple couples or family gatherings, yet still appealing to the lone couple who wants some away-time! Book today, don't miss your chance!!!
Beautiful Home
Sweetgrass is a beautiful home and perfect for three "older" couples visiting Kiawah for a wedding. The home's set up was perfect as each couple had their own private area. Also, the homes where Sweetgrass is located are not close to each other so there is quiet and privacy. The home is immaculate and every comfort provided.
The St. John’s are so wonderful, kind and considerate, they are willing to do anything within their powers to accommodate visitor’s request. They even gave up their weekend to us when a scheduling error, not their fault, occurred. The St. John’s truly went beyond anything I have ever experienced to work with us, I cannot thank them enough.
Alli, brought us many hours of entertainment and to see her babies was amazing. Having a garage to store our bikes and beach “stuff” was wonderful. This is a perfect home for any age group to stay in but even more so when couples are sharing, no one has to comprise.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us.
Great house for family
As a family of 5, with three children under 8, we loved this house. The kids had their own "wing" and bathrooms - which allowed for nice privacy for the parents as well. The layout is very open, so you can munch in the kitchen, talk and watch the living room or the kids on the porch. The porch is truly wonderful, with the tree growing thru it and the wildlife and alligator right there for you to watch ! Beach is less than 5mins of comfortable bike ride and the kids were able to free bike around the cul-de-sac and driveway as well. Great location, well furnished and equipped house - would definitely come back again. Everything you need is here... so fabulous introduction to Kiawah for us! Thank you!
Excitement in Kiawah
This house was excellent for our use. There were 3 married couples in our group. We each had our own bedrooms and bathrooms, a large living area, well stocked kitchen and a large screened area, which was very nice in the cool mornings. It is situated overlooking a bayou so that we could see aquatic life anytime we went out on the back deck. It was very nicely furnished, clean and had the amenities that suited us just right. The house is only a short bike ride to the beach and the other people that we met in the area were friendly and helpful. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your home.
