The home is absolutely gorgeous and is very spacious! It looks even better than the pictures. It's a very easy walk to the beach and they also provide a wagon to carry beach chairs and other items to the beach. The property manager was super helpful and responsive. Would definitely stay here again!

A Fabulous Stay

We had a wonderful extended stay at this home - it was a perfect place to relax, work remotely, and enjoy everything Kiawah has to offer (e.g. 5 mins from the beach; patio that looks over the lagoon). The house is beautifully designed and set up - light filled, well furnished, stocked with every amenity a guest could need. We had a wonderful vacation and can't wait to return.

Walk to the beach

Great spot for a family gathering with adults and grandkids. Wonderful chef’s kitchen meant we never needed to eat out. Only a couple minutes walk to the beach. Kiawah is the best for beach play with flat sands and mild waves.

Second stay in this beautiful home

We absolutely love this property and location and couldn’t have had a nicer stay! We stayed in this home two years ago and couldn’t wait to come back. The house is just beautiful and a perfect fit for our family with four young-adult children. It’s beautifully situated a very short walk to the beach, has lovely deck views, is well-appointed, airy, modern and comfortable. The property management company is a pleasure to work with. We hope to be back soon!

Great House - Clean, Spacious, Comfortable

We are a family of 3 with a daughter (12) so we have never rented homes while traveling. This first experience was a great one! We would definitely rent this one again. I believe it is centrally located...most importantly it's very near the beach (walk or bike). It's also near the Sanctuary and other clubs for dining and activities.

Summer vacation

Perfect house for our family! Loved playing games at the island every night and the weather was wonderful so we could enjoy sitting in the deck in the evenings. I REALLY loved the layout of the house and the fact that it wasn’t a 3 or 4 story beach house that you had to continually go up and down stairs! Very comfortable house! Would definitely return again!

Beach stay

The house is in a great location and well decorated. The only issue we ran into were they really do only give one trash bag for the entire stay (read the fine print) and there was some maintenance issues that we could live through so we never brought up to the management. Everything else was as expected through the pictures.

Great space. Maintenance needed.

This home is a great space for a large family to spend time together. Large common and dining areas. Great light and location. We had a few issues with a broken freezer/ice maker, leaking gas on the grill and broken chair legs around the dining room table. We'd recommend the home. Our stay would have been improved without the issues.

Very nice property. Felt like a home, not a rental

It appears the owner(s) didn't spare any expenses when they furnished their house. Every room had comfortable beds, great artwork, high end furniture and lighting. Some rental properties have no character because the owner(s) didn't want to spend money on furniture and interior design. Not the case in this case. The home felt very much like a home. Only complaint was the kitchen was just barely stocked (not even salt and pepper) and we had to purchase a lot of basics at the grocery store. But in general we were very happy.

4 Stars But Could Be 5 Stars

Beautiful home that is very nicely appointed.....but needs some attention in a few areas. Good location. Easy 6 - 7 minute walk to beach. Indoor and outdoor lights need attention.....no 3-way bulbs in house and most outdoor lights need to be replaced. Front door sticks and is difficult to open and close. Screened porch furniture isn't up the that of the rest of the home and needs to be upgraded.

Beautiful home

Beautifully decorated home in a lovely setting close to beach. A few things need attention such as many outlets that do not work specifically in the kitchen and bathrooms and the dishwasher that needs some significant leveling. One disappointment was the lack of a tv in the master bedroom and one other bedroom. Grill was filthy and broken upon arrival. Management company offered to replace but we had brought all of our food due to Covid and needed to cook what we brought before grill could be replaced. Screened porch was not clean.
