About this property

Resort Amenities! Next to Sanctuary Hotel. Short walk to beach. Screened porch

WE ARE NEXT TO THE HOTEL, AND A 3-5 MINUTE WALK TO THE BEACH (despite incorrect info printed on this site by VRBO). You will have KIAWAH RESORT PRIVILEGES to include swimming in the Resort pools. Not many properties offer these amenities. Though listed as "private pool," the Resort pools are not on our property but close- by in Night Heron Park and West Beach. Come vacation in our three bedroom Tennis Club Villa which sits on a secluded lagoon and is the closest villa to the footbridge access to the beach. We are located in the East Beach area of Kiawah Island very near the luxury Sanctuary Hotel and Spa.

Our home-away-from-home is gorgeous yet comfortable. Relax in the spacious, ground-floor unit with all the conveniences of home. Enjoy the bright, airy screened-in porch; watch the varied wildlife right at your window. Our villa sleeps six with a King bed and Posturepedic mattress in the Master Bedroom, and twin beds in the second. The third bedroom has a Queen and single bed.

We offer Kiawah Resort amenities, which means you will have free use of the pools at Night Heron Park (additional new pool for kids) and the pool in West Beach.

NIGHT HERON PARK POOL

As of September 2022-

The Nest is beautifully situated under the
live oaks in the heart of the island at Night
Heron Park. It offers counter service
breakfast, lunch and dinner with some
wonderfully prepared meals also available
for guests to take with them to finish at
home. Guests may also dine on-site either
indoors or on the expansive porch. The Nest
is fully stocked with logo apparel, gifts and
things for the whole family to better enjoy
their time on the beach, the pool or the
island in general. Of course, it has a great
selection of groceries including beer and
wine and a "locals" specialty section for our
guests' ultimate convenience. And it is home
to our very own bakery that is viewable from
the dining room as our pastry team prepares
the fresh baked goods offered on site.

A large children's pool at the Night Heron Park, complete with 27 water features including a dual speed slide and a kid's slide, approximately 190 feet of 'zero entry,' a total perimeter footage of 457 feet and a total square footage of approximately 8,500 sq. ft.

Night Heron's adult-friendly 5,233 sq. ft. pool with 304 perimeter footage, three 25 meter lap lanes and approximately 416 sq. ft. of 9-inch deep lounging area is the perfect place for quiet adult relaxation, lap swimming and aqua aerobics. The pool will also be used for swim lessons and select children's Kamp Kiawah activities.

WEST BEACH POOL
The third 4,760 sq. ft. pool (with 317 perimeter footage including approximately 90 feet of 'zero entry') is in West Beach adjacent to the West Beach Tennis Complex. The pool features both an adult section and a large play structure with nine water toys and two additional shallow water features for smaller children. It also includes a circular slide with a 90-foot run - the perfect amenity for guests staying in West Beach.You will also have door-to-door transportation and discounts on golf and tennis as well as advanced tee times. You will also have 24 hour Front Desk services, maintenance services 7 am to 11 pm, resort charging privileges, and complimentary trash service upon request. Our guests also enjoy preferred access to Nature and Chidren's programs and use of the West Beach Fitness Center. (None of these amenities are available to non-resort guests).

Enjoy our fully-equipped kitchen and wet bar and smart TV in the living room, TV in Master bedroom(both with cable) and books. Ceiling fans are located in the living room and porch. We have a full-size washer and dryer, new kitchen appliances and granite counters, as well as many other special touches.

Kiawah Island was named a 'Top 10 Best Family Resort' by Family Life magazine. See why Conde Nast Traveler Magazine has placed Kiawah Island on its Gold List and named it among the Top 10 North American Resorts and the #2 island to visit in the United States! (We think it’s #1!) Bike over 30 miles of trails on the island. Walk or bike just a few minutes to Kiawah's beautiful ten-mile-long beach. Also nearby are tennis courts (ranked in the top 5 US tennis resorts according to Tennis Magazine), golf courses (Golf Digest- 5 Star rating and Golf Magazine- The Ocean Course is among the Top 100 Courses in the US), Night Heron Park and Nature Center, the Spa at the Sanctuary, and The Market at Town Center. We provide all linens and towels. Daily towel service is available. No Smoking and No Pets, please.

The villa was perfect for my husband and me, my mother, and our two young children. With three bedrooms and three bathrooms, we all had our own space. The main living space and kitchen were comfortable and perfect for our group of 5. We absolutely loved the screen porch that overlooked a pond. As for location, we were a short 5 minute walk to the Sanctuary, 5 minutes to the beach, and 10 minutes to Night Heron park. Martha the property owner was quick to answer our questions and helpful as well. It was great to have access to the resort pools. Highly recommend this villa!

If you want to enjoy the Sanctuary, beach, and Kiawah Resort amenities (pools, charging privileges, etc.) without paying exorbitant prices, this villa is ideal. Clean, comfortable, very quiet, and a very short walk to both the hotel and beach. Perfect for families.

The property is nice and clean. Loving that it has a lot of extra towels so we each have a new one everyday. Kitchen has a lot of plates, bowls, utensils, more than other places we stayed at before. Martha is nice and very accommodating. And the best thing is that you have access to resort amenities. We love the pool complex so much, especially my son. And my husband definitely loves the reduced cost of playing at the legendary Ocean course!

Wonderful Vacation

We have stayed at Kiawah Island many times. It is one of our favorite vacation spots. This particular villa was great! It was located right on a lagoon so we had close up views of nature daily. Walk to the beach was easy and we biked to Night Heron park to enjoy the pool. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We ate on the screened in porch overlooking the lagoon. I would definitely stay here again!

Great spot!

This is such a cute little villa near the tennis courts with everything you need! We were staying in Kiawah for a wedding at the River Course and this was the perfect location; close to the beach, close to the wedding, and a quick drive to fresh fields. Our toddler loved the screened in porch and watching the alligators go by. This was a great place for little kids and the night heron park/pool is always a hit.

Convenient Villa

The owner was very communicative and provided a packet of helpful tips on dining, chair and bike rentals, etc. It was nice having 3 bedrooms with their own full bathrooms. Check in was super easy. No need to drag a bunch of linens and paper goods, those are included. The screened in porch was really nice for eating and hanging out.

Great value, top notch location

Thais was our first visit to Kiawah Island and we couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The location of this villa was perfect. A very short walk or ride to the beach, where my tween loved to run down on the beach around sunset. We rode bikes to the sanctuary at night for ice cream, rode to the pool and played some tennis at the tennis center. My children loved having their own rooms and bathrooms and we enjoyed drinking coffee on the screened in porch after a sunrise walk on the beach. Martha is very responsive, but the villa is part of the resort network, so you have a hotel phone in the villa should you need anything immediately. Thanks for a great stay, Martha.

Charming, lovely place for family trip

We had a wonderful time on our trip to Kiawah. Martha, the owner, was kind enough to let us know about recent changes at the resort due to Covid-19. Without this information, we would not have had bikes or chairs/umbrellas at the beach! It's a beautiful, 5 minute (walking at a 6 year old's pace) walk to the beach. The unit was very clean and had everything we needed (except for salt and pepper!) for cooking meals and cleaning up, including paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher tabs, etc. There were a few beach chairs available, as well, which came in handy on days the rentals were unavailable. We would definitely book this location again!

Great location, access to resort amenities!

The owner was great. She communicated well, provided many tips for the island. It was our first visit to Kiawah, we did not understand the island dynamic prior to going. The owner did a great job answering questions. We had 6 adults on our visit, and still plenty of space. So nice that each room has its own bathroom. Very close to the beach and to the Sanctuary Hotel. Bike ride away, or a decent walk, from Night Heron. Easy access to the market and conference center. Condo had beach chairs and boogey boards, no beach towels. Kitchen well stocked. Access to the resort amenities (except anything at the Sanctuary).

Kaiwah Island

3 things I loved about this Villa: 1) location location location. Can’t beat it. Less than 5 minute walk to the beach, right next to the Sanctuary So many discounts -especially golf. Were able to do advanced tee times. Close to everything. 2) Exemplary communication with Martha. She was SO incredibly thorough. Sent us all the places to go- all the tips- she is an awesome host. Very prompt replies to inquiries. 3) We enjoyed sitting on the enclosed porch on the lagoon. It was such a show. Alligators, deers that come up to the porch, birds, turtles, fish - always something to view…super fun. We absolutely loved Kaiwah Island. People are friendly- and the setting is relaxing. Loved looking at the huge estates. Loved biking on the beach. Will definitely return.

The unit is in a excellent location close to all things you want for a family. We rode bikes so just a few mins ride to beach, heron park, tennis court, golf. The owner’s membership in the rental program is a big benefit because it gives you access to the club amenities.

Great Location & Lovely Views

Our stay at the Kiawah East Beach Tennis Villas exceeded our high expectations. The Villa is roomy and features a wonderful screened in porch with great views of the nearby lagoon. We enjoyed our daily sightings of a gorgeous anhinga and resident baby alligator. In addition, this Villa is adjacent to the bridge that leads to the beach, which is just a short walk away. The East Beach location is fantastic, as guests are a short bike or car ride away from Night Heron Park and the Vanderhorst Plantation. The lovely host was very responsive and provided great recommendations for food and excursions.

Fabulous stay!

This was a PERFECT vacation for my family of 5! Easy short (5 min) walk to the beach, close enough to pools to bike (10-15 min ride with 9 year old) and right on a lagoon. The kids loved seeing their “friend” the alligator at dusk every day in the lagoon. The owner is absolutely lovely and promptly answered any questions we had. Wonderful experience, rent it today if you can! We would love to rent it again next year.
