We had a wonderful stay in Kiawah. The house was stocked with everything we could have imagined and was perfect for our family of 8. We had plenty of bikes and beach gear for everyone. The beach and bike path were both close to the house, great location. Hunter was a wonderful host!

Marcia, we are thrilled you had a wonderful stay. Come back soon. Your family was a pleasure. Best, Hunter
We throughly loved our stay. Loved that it had bikes and bike wagon available. Grill needs a good cleaning we didn’t use it. My husband and I are older with a few aches and pains but we were able to walk to the beach. Thank you for sharing your home!
The location is perfect for beach access, biking and golf. We appreciated access to the bikes, baskets and beach gear. Everything was in good working order. The ice make at the bar was a pleasant surprise and kept us stocked with cold drinks. It would be nice to have at least a full sized bed in the fourth bedroom. We compared Dottie’s to going to Grandma’s, where you could find more than you needed to have a good time (i.e., books, games, stocked kitchen/ laundry room, plenty of towels, etc.)Thank you for allowing us to stay for the week.

Jo, we are thrilled you felt at home and had a wonderful week. The ice bar is my favorite too! Hunter
We had a wonderful stay and loved the house. It was so well-stocked and comfortable. The location was very convenient to the beach, and all of the bikes and beach gear were so nice to have available to use.
My family really enjoyed our annual Kiawah trip..very spacious indoor and outdoor...well stocked garage with beach items....would definitely rent again...
Great location for a holiday getaway. Kitchen was very well equipped, comfortable bedding, close to beach. We enjoyed the golf view and watching the golfers pass by. The owner was very accessible for questions.

Welcome you and your lovely family back any time! Thank you for the kind words.
Jim, I am so glad you and your family had a great Thanksgiving week. It was a pleasure speaking with you. Happy holidays! Best, Hunter at Dottie's House
House was great, the kitchen had everything for cooking a meal. Lived the ice maker by the bar. The view over the golf course was beautiful and a close bike ride to the beach.
Great house in a perfect location. Plenty of bikes and beach gear. Kitchen has everything needed.

Beautiful home in the perfect location.
We had an awesome family vacation in a beautiful home. The perfect size for our family and close enough to the beach to ride a bike even carrying all the beach accessories. We will definitely make this a yearly vacation.

Thank you Barbara for treating out home like your own. We are thrilled you had a lovely week. See you next year! Hunter
This is a great location for a short walk to the beach, bike trails and/or golf courses! The home was very clean with a well stocked kitchen and plenty of bath linens. The neighborhood was quiet, and the home was very well maintained and inviting. An excellent place to spend a family vacation on Kiawah.

Thank you Penelope, we are thrilled that you and your family had a wonderful stay. Dotties House will be here the next time you need a retreat. All the best, Hunter K.
Property was as advertised. Master Suite in particular was well appointed. Close to beach and beach is pristine. Would highly recommend for family of 8...
We enjoyed our stay at this property. There were a few issues that we had, but the host was very helpful in resolving them. The bikes, wagons, and beach chairs that were onsite were extremely convenient.

Thank you Ryan. I am glad you and your family enjoyed your week in our home and the ocean. I am sorry the trash was not picked up by the Town of Kiawah in a timely manner. It is difficult to control those types of variables. Glad we could get it resolved. I now have the Town of Kiawah manager on speed dial.
It was just a short walk to the beach. The house had everything you could imagine for cooking. The cleanliness was unsurpassed. The ice maker was awesome to have.
The location was perfect ! Beautiful views of the golf course . We enjoyed the screened in porch both in the mornings and evenings . Check-in was smooth . Owners were attentive to any questions of concerns

Melissa, It was a pleasure sharing our home with your family. We look so forward to having you back next Summer! Hunter
The home was absolutely perfect for this stay. The location was great, and we took advantage of bikes and beach toys. Our host took care of passes for family staying elsewhere and for catering van to get here on time. It was a very comfortable stay, and I couldn’t recommend it any more.

Brenda, Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure having you and your family for such an important occasion. Our home welcomes you anytime in the future you should like to return. All the best, Hunter
The house was as it is pictured, comfortable, clean, and well appointed. The owners were responsive and helpful. This worked for all three generations, ages 8 - 75. It is on a golf course and just down the street from an access area to the beach. The bikes were a wonderful added bonus. The area was quiet and fun. Charleston is close enough that a day trip is easy - much to see and do there. I would love to go back.

Thank you for the kind words, we welcome you are your family back with open arms for your next stay!
We had a fabulous stay at this home on Kiawah Island. It was exactly as advertised - note their video description - and very comfortable for our family of four. It was a short beautiful walk/bike ride to the beach and two of the bikes have baskets to bring home all your shell treasures found during your stay. Extremely comfortable beds and a well equipped kitchen. Short drive to restaurants and shopping. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you again for sharing your home with us.

Thank you Kathryn for your kind review. We love sharing our family’s home with other lovely families.
Everything about this house was as listed and stated on the VRBO website. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. The kitchen had everything one could need from pots and pans to plates and glasses. The distance to the beach was perfect- I would estimate less than a 10 minutes walk. The garage contained everything needed for a day at the beach. From bikes, chair, shade canopy, boogie boards, and sand toys. Hunter was very transparent with communication via email and phone. Absolutely a 10/10! You won't regret booking this house!

About the host
Hosted by Hunter Kerrison
The Kerrison Family has roots in Kiawah for many generations. This home is well loved and well kept. Many family memories have been made here.
Why they chose this property
The way this property is set up is very friendly to groups seeking to be able to retreat and to come together. It is well placed near everything. It has a warm feeling and it kept better than many people's primary residence (including mine sometimes :)
What makes this property unique
We love Kiawah. Time stands still here a bit. We can walk to the beach, ride bikes on the trials, head to fresh field, eat out or grill on the back porch whilethe kids play on the golf course after hours. I sleep well here. The kids are safe and free here. The adults are comfortable here. The house allows for quiet outdoor spaces, restful bedrooms, open kitchen newly renovated, newly renovated master bathroom, recently updated porches front and back, quick walk to beach or bike ride, with a garage full of bikes and beach amenities.
