We really enjoyed this fabulous home in Kiawah. The kitchen had spices and all cooking utensils needed for us to prepare family dinners. Two dishwashers was also a plus. We enjoyed the hot tub and pool, as well as the close proximity to the beach. Beds were comfortable with great linens. Pool house had a great set up for teens with bunk beds. We've been coming to Kiawah for years and this home is quite lovely. We definitely hope to rent it again! Check in process was easy and good communication too.
This is an amazing property with every detail thought out. The house has an incredible view of the marsh and feels very private while being nestled into a beautiful neighborhood. Access to the beach is an easy walk. The pool is a beautiful respite. The layout of the house worked so well for our family. The kitchen is so well appointed and having all the cooking extras was greatly appreciated. Also having enough consumable items like toilet paper and paper towel and such was a nice change. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are beautiful. Thanks for a wonderful family vacation. We will be back!
