We had an incredible 7 week stay at this lovely property! The property manager was very helpful as well as the owner and her daughter. The vacation rental was spotless, comfortable, extremely well-equipped, and I just loved all of the colorful artwork. It’s a happy place to be for sure! The location was perfect for us as we enjoy golfing the Kiawah courses and long walks on the beach. I definitely hope to spend another 7 weeks here next year! Diane A.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is nicely appointed, clean and only a short walk the beach. Having access to the community pool was great too. My only issue is the condo construction close by. They started banging in pilings at 7am and it went all day. It was very loud and took away from wanting to sit outside. I am surprised that was allowed and that complaints weren't made. Besides that, we had a great trip. Went to beach, pool alot, road our bikes all over, went to charleston for shopping and Fort Sumpter tour, visited Boone plantation.Maggie our host was great and its good to know they have someone to come out if there is any issues. We had an issue with the tvs (wanted to watch the ncaa final but ended watching on our ipad). They did come out the next day to fix one of them. We love kiawah and will be back!

Wonderful Beach Retreat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Inlet Cove in Kiawah! What a beautiful spot amount the trees. Quiet street with a short walk to the beach. The island is amazing with bike trails throughout, I felt like a kid again. The home was clean, comfy, and felt relaxing. Many great books to read and puzzles. Great experience and we will be back!

Post holiday get together

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was perfect for our family to meet before our daughter and son in law begin their next adventure in NC. The house has been recently renovated and was very clean - even comes equipped with all of the kitchen supplies you would need. Highly recommend this property!

Great introduction to Kiawah. Easy, short walk to the beach and close to shopping and restaurants. The unit was immaculate and well-appointed.

Fabulous Accommodations

Very inviting, comfortable, well-equipped cottage in a great location. We enjoyed the pool ... But the short walk to the beach worked out great... Our favorite hangout 😎 One suggestion would be to consider replacing the king sized bed mattress...but overall...we so ENJOYED our stay & would definitely come back!!😁
