About this property
7 Rhetts Bluff: 6 Bedrooms, Pool & Dock, River & Marsh Views, Bike to Beach
RBL19-006917
In accordance with the Town of Kiawah Island Short Term Rental Ordinance, all guests understand that the approved number of bedrooms is 6, the maximum allowed occupancy is 14, and the maximum allowed number of vehicles is 7.
Enjoy the quintessential Kiawah Island experience in this magnificent 6,000 square foot home with breathtaking views of the Kiawah River and tidal marshes from every room. Located at the easterly tip of exclusive Rhett’s Bluff, and surrounded by water on three sides, this 6 bedroom/6.5 bath retreat offers privacy, security, and exclusivity unique even to Kiawah. Features that allow guests the optimum connection with the home’s natural surroundings include an outdoor swimming pool, a deck and spa, a large screen porch with additional dining accommodations, and a dock.
The property, named “Moon River” by its owners for the spectacular moonlit evening views over the river and marshes, features an open and spacious floor plan with high ceilings, elevator access at every level, a family room, sitting room and library, and a beautifully appointed kitchen with granite countertops, built-in refrigeration, ice machine, two dishwashers, a six-burner professional stove and separate butler’s pantry. Every bedroom features a private bath and flat-screen television. The large master bedroom on the second floor boasts an expansive balcony and panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. Due to the complete privacy of the setting, the master bedroom windows remain untouched by a shade or curtain. The third-floor king bedroom suite includes a separate sauna off the full bathroom.
This serene home is perfect for large families on vacation, adult get-togethers, or executive golf or strategic retreats, and offers close proximity to all Kiawah amenities, as well as ample parking in and out of the garage. Beach access is a short bicycle ride to the path adjacent to the Sanctuary Hotel. Entertain your family, friends, and colleagues in a truly world-class setting.
The home is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.
The dimensions of the pool are about 12' x 34'. The pool has a gas heater, so the pool and spa may be heated in cooler months for an additional fee of $100 per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available. Contact us directly to add pool heating to your reservation.
Guest reservations of 3 to 21 nights come with a valuable credit to use towards beach gear rentals during your stay! The credit amount for this property is $400. You may use your credit for bicycles, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and more – the choice is yours!
During your stay on Kiawah Island, be sure to enjoy biking on the 30 miles of flat bike trails, golfing on one of five world-class courses, playing tennis, crabbing, fishing, swimming, and boating. Many families also enjoy the kids’ camp and nature programs at Night Heron Park.
Kiawah Island is about 40 minutes from historic Charleston, famous for incredible shopping, galleries, antique stores, museums, the South Carolina Aquarium, horse-drawn carriage rides, historic landmarks, and sumptuous dining.
