About this property

Private Pool, Lagoon Views, Secluded Setting

Hide away on Kiawah Island's secluded marsh-side with The Whitney House. With its serene, private setting this 4BD/5BA home feels like you've been transported to a charming lake side lodge in the Catskills but with all the Kiawah Island favorites that come with a vacation at this island resort.

You'll instantly feel at home when you step inside the open-concept great room with warm woods and rich hues, bathed in natural light with tall windows and vaulted ceiling. To your right, you'll see the spacious dining area with plenty of room for all your guests that seamlessly blends into a chefs' kitchen complimented by a distinctive, handcrafted bar.

Featuring a primary suite on the main floor, this spacious room comes complete with a KING bed and luxurious stone-laid bath. Additionally on the main floor, you'll find a cozy study with a sleeper-sofa for extra guest space if needed.

Up the stairs, you'll find three bedrooms each with private baths - two with KING beds and one with TWIN beds to comfortably sleep the whole family.

Step outside onto the winding deck that will take you down to the private plunge pool overlooking the lagoon and lush landscape of oaks, pines and palmettos. You'll find a lovely covered nook for lounging out of the sun and grand open garage complete with game tables.

Tucked among the trees, The Whitney House is right across the street from the Community Dock where you can take in Kiawah's signature sunset or cast a fishing line. Just up the road, you'll also find ideal access for putting in a kayak or paddleboard at the Cinder Creek Pavilion.

Kiawah getaway

Our stay and the accommodations were excellent. We stayed for two weeks. The home had any ammenity needed. Communication with the rental agency was excellent and any need was immediately addressed. The only improvement needed is a booster on the WiFi as there were areas that WifI was lost. Would definitely recommend this rental property!

Your private retreat!

Our family of 6 adults and 4 children (ages 9 to 14) spent a wonderful week on Kiawah. The house is spacious, the kitchen is complete, the pool and games are great for the kiddo's and the beach is an easy bike ride away. The house is situated on a street that is quiet and private. We look forward to staying here next year!

Wonderful house and fantastic renter!

The house was so nice and clean. Pool was heated as requested and there was lots of entertainment for kids when weather wasn’t great (games, ping pong, foosball, darts, etc). When we felt like we had a problem with the heater (which we didn’t) the leaser came right over and helped to address the isssue (which there actually wasn’t one). Robin was very responsive and helpful. Couldn’t recommend the house more! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful House

Been staying at Kiawah for a week each summer for about 20 years - we usually do a different house each time. 50 Salt Cedar is a beautiful house, with great layout - right at about 1.5 miles by bike to beach which was fine with us. Loved the pool and pingpong table also. In prior years, we have been sent the gate pass to get thru gate initially via email - I would recommend doing that if possible. The line to get in on Saturday afternoon was horrible.
