Things you'll love about this home:
- THE AMENITIES: Escape to the incredible wet bar to sip evening drinks and play a game of cards, all with ocean view. Unwind in the private heated saltwater pool and spa, surrounded by rich landscaping for added privacy. Use the outdoor kitchen to grill out with friends or sip margaritas in the sunshine. Or even catch the game on the outdoor TV while the family gathers for a game of aqua basketball.
- THE VIEWS: Combining the lush Kiawah landscape with the spectacular coast, there is nothing quite like the scenic views that you get on the island. Imagine watching the ocean sparkle in sun or the palmettos and live oaks blow in the breeze. Enjoy the views from walls of windows, filling the home with natural light, or from any of the grand outdoor spaces. Enjoy a quiet morning with your coffee on the wrap-around porches or your evening cocktail at sunset on the top floor private balcony.
- THE HISTORY: The home features heart pine flooring salvaged from an old Charleston building dating back to the 1800s and rare antique Pecky Cypress surrounds the kitchen area. Additionally, the “Charleston green” screened doors, showcased in the wet bar area, are originally from 1890 and were relocated to the home from the family's original historic downtown Inn! There's even a joggling board on the front porch to welcome you to this Lowcountry retreat.
- YOUR CHARLESTON RETREAT: With a reversed floor-plan, you'll find the main living spaces on the second floor of the home. This spoils you with special views and natural light. On this level there is a wet bar and game room, two open seating areas - one ideal for conversations and the other for curling up by the TV, an impressive kitchen with upgraded appliances and center island, a dining area surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, and access to the sweeping southern-style back porch. There is a bedroom situated at the far end of the main second floor of the home. This room (Bedroom #7) has a twin-size daybed with a twin trundle. It has shared access to the main floor full bathroom.
Ascend the stairs to the third floor to discover the epitome of luxury living – the master pent-house suite (Bedroom #1) featuring a king bed, large private bathroom, comfortable sitting area with TV, and a private balcony. (Please note that the elevator does not go all the way to the third floor.)
The remaining five bedrooms are on the first level of the home. You'll also find three bathrooms, the laundry room, and a spacious porch area on this lower level. The first bedroom (Bedroom #2) is one of the master suites and features a king bed, chaise lounge, view of the backyard pool, and a private bathroom with tub and marble shower. There is a bedroom with king bed (Bedroom #3) and a bedroom with two twins (Bedroom #4), which share a bathroom with dual sinks and a standing shower. Lastly, there is another king bedroom (Bedroom #5) and a bedroom with a bunk bed (twin-over-twin, Bedroom #6). These two rooms share a bathroom with a combination tub/shower.
- OUTDOOR OASIS: Experience a true outdoor oasis by the ocean. With a private pool and spa, poolside grilling station, and lounge seating galore, you will never want to come in! (Pool can be heated upon request.) For added convenience, there is a full bathroom with a shower located just off the pool deck. And most importantly, for those seeking direct access to the beach, a private wooden boardwalk leads you right down to the sandy ocean shores.

The communication with Sweetgrass prior to our arrival was exceptional. The location of the home and the space for our group was perfect. I shared with the host several opportunities for improvement for a property of this level. I’m hopeful that they and the home owner will take it in the spirit intended.

Beautiful home on the beach with a beautiful view. My extended family really enjoyed the house. It is located on a beautiful part of the beach at Kiawah.
Big house with relaxing balcony/deck and had enough room for all our extended family. Very quiet and close to the beach.

Thank you, Krista, for the wonderful review! We’re glad the house provided plenty of space for your extended family and that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and proximity to the beach.
We really loved the property. It was very roomy and had lots of outdoor spaces. Everything needed was included, plenty of kitchen pots, pans, appliances and utensils. The heated pool and hot tub were wonderful as well. It was a little further from the ocean than we thought it would be, but you still get a view. Would definitely recommend and stay there again!

We’re thrilled to hear your family of 14 had such an amazing stay and that everyone — kids and adults alike — had a great time. It’s great to know the home worked well for your group and that our team was able to promptly assist when needed. We’re so glad we could help create lasting memories, and we’d be honored to host you all again in the future!
This is a terrific property! It was beautifully maintained inside and out. The property is very quiet and secluded by natural brush. We found the accommodations excellent and well stocked upon our arrival. The only issues to note were a problem with the hot tub that was out of commission for 48 hours but quickly fixed on a Monday morning. Weird no-vendor rules on the island on a Sunday. The management team was very responsive to our service call sending local folks out to repair the issue, but alas, they were not successful. Note the Wi-Fi is not very reliable in the house nor outside the house. That was a little frustrating.
