Exemplary Kiawah Rental

My family and I have rented nearly 20 homes on Kiawah for 1-2 weeks of summer vacation, and this home was by far the very best in terms of size, amenities, location, and the check-in process.

Great Spot

This was a perfect home for our large group. Great location close to the beach and amenities. Importantly, the property manager was very helpful with any questions. She gets a gold star as do the owners.

Awesome space for large families

We are a rather large family with ages ranging from 75 down to 4. 5 total couples, and we were totally comfortable here. There's plenty of space to eat, relax, cook, and sleep. Loved it and would come again.

Beautiful home very close to the beach

The house was perfect for our large family. Lots of space to spread out, perfect game rooms upstairs for the kids. Spacious and very well appointed. Beach chairs and toys available. Very short walk to the beach via boardwalk close by. Definitely recommend.

Great living space for our group

We are a family of 7 including our care-giver and we require room to get away from each other! This house was PERFECT for our family. The A/C actually went out upstairs in the kids area but the rental company was able to get it fixed the same day. Would love to rent this home again on our nexr visit

Awesome house!

Great week at the beach. Exactly 185 second walk to the beach. House was immaculate, everything in great condition. Kitchen is commercial grade. TVs with full cable and streaming/gaming ability in nearly every room. Quiet, safe neighborhood in Vanderhorst. Property manager provided personal walkthrough. You will not be disappointed.
