Beautiful house, beautiful scenery and the most perfect location. We loved our stay and will most certainly be booking this place again in the near future.
AMAZING 10 out of 10 spot right on the river with incredible views. Daily dolphin sightings, so much nature and beauty. Incredible sunsets. The home is very well appointed and as described. Loved it.
The location was perfect, the house was well appointed, and very comfortable for our family of 5.

The views from this property are absolutely amazing, you feel perched just over the water. We saw so many dolphins, birds, even an otter! House is nice. Wish it was warmer, patio below is furnished well and would be a great hang out spot! Overall this home has a great layout, nice master with updated shower. Kitchen was well equipped, nice amount of cookware, tools, etc. Some furnishings could use updates due to wear and tear but it was SPOTLESS- kudos to the cleaning team! We really enjoyed our stay and would return!

We’ve stayed at this rental multiple times! It is the best spot for quiet seclusion and gorgeous views of wildlife, changing tidal scenes, sunsets, etc.!! It’s amazing. :)) (you’ll see many dolphin daily!)The house is beautifully decorated and has all you need in the kitchen and home for the perfect vacation. The deck below is directly on the water and like having an extra room to enjoy! Hammocks, rocking chairs, & other nice furniture. It’s fabulous. We will return & highly recommend. 👍🏻❤️

Just lovely in every way. We are returning guests and it has been perfect every time! Stunning views of the river...with gorgeous sunsets and wonderful wildlife!House is decorated so nicely and everything was in order.Only thing I noticed that was a minor negative, was quite a bit of dust behind headboard on floor. Had dropped my phone charger ...and oh my! It made me realize I need to go home and check mine. ;)The beds are high enough that it should be an easy fix for housekeeping, and sure would help those of us with allergies.But we just LOVE this location and it is our favorite after many Kiawah vacations!! Amazing.❤️☀️ 🌊 🦌🐬 🌴

Reviewer Comments:
At the last minute we were told the house we had reserved had a roof leak and would be relocated to another house. I was slightly worried as I had wanted a house on the river so we could bird watch. Not only were we relocated to a house in the same neighborhood, but one on the river. Between bird watching, bike riding and preparing meals together, we throughly enjoyed ourselves. This house had everything we needed and more. The kitchen, though tight quarters, was well stocked with cooking supplies. Decent grater, check. Decent pots and pans, check. Glasses, silverware, cutting boards, check! The lower “sunset” deck was perfect for pre-dinner cocktails with lots of space to spread out. The management team were very responsive and our needs were met with professionalism. Would return again.

Reviewer Comments:
Location was absolutely beautiful, house was wonderful, space below was much better than photographed and expected. The house does shake when people walk given that it is on stilts, which was disconcerting before we knew what was happening (I noticed it mostly while lying in bed at night while others were still up and about in the house), and did not in any way dampen our wonderful experience.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a beautiful unit so close to the water you could practically fish from the deck off the kitchen!! (But you don’t need to because there’s plenty of space by the seawall to get your line wet.) if fishing isn’t your thing relax in the comfortable chairs inside or out to just watch the dolphins swim by or the beautiful birds!! Well decorated and stocked (could use a blender). 5 minute walk to the beach. Love everything about it!

House was as described and pictured. Fabulous outdoor space underneath cottage with multiple seating areas and nice big table. We spent almost all days just hanging out here. My husband fished 24/7 off the seawall and caught the most fish he's ever caught at Kiawah including trout, red drum, pinfish, croaker, whiting, a 5 foot sand bar shark, and a cow nose ray. We love the Inlet Cove area for convenience to shopping, beach and on/ff island. Views from upstairs were unbeatable, marsh, sunsets, lots of birds, dolphins ....house was comfortable, beds good, kitchen well stocked. Our only suggestion might be a good deep clean ( under furniture, etc...)

We have been coming to Kiawah for over 20 years always preferring to stay on the river. With their newly renovated place and prime location as close to the river as one can get we thoroughly enjoyed the privacy and closed in porch of the place. We’ve already rented for next year!
Outstanding property, spotless, well-appointed renovation and incredible location. We spent a lot of time at sunrise & sunset just watching the light, birds, dolphins, and minute by minute changing landscape. Bring your binoculars! A special shout out to ESPM property management company for responding immediately to a few items. Wonderful service and place.

The best place and location. The home is excellent for a calm, family vacation. Get up, make your coffee and watch the dolphins, then grab your bikes to go to the beach, ride to the village for lunch and head back to the beach. It is nicely furnished. Has an amazing view of the river, easy access to the whole island. It just doesn’t get much better. And the price is very good.
