My family loves this wonderful little house on the beach, and we all enjoyed our time there. The proximity to the beach makes it a very special. The house is decorated with many wonderful little details and the kitchen is fully updated appointed. Most of our nights there we had family dinners on the back deck - enjoying the beauty of the dunes with the sea breezes.

Exceptional Eugenia

Had a wonderful stay in a nicely furnished home. Lots of amenities with regard to beach chairs, beach towels, etc. and we loved that there was plenty of cleaning products with toddlers and dogs. I would suggest investing in a knife sharpener as they all need a good filing.

Awesome property

This place is charming. A cottage feel with all the comforts. The kitchen is well-equipped- one of the best vrbo rentals I’ve stayed in. You hear the ocean and feel the breeze on the decks. Karen is really responsive to inquiries before and during our stay. This is the first place I’d go to if we return to Kiawah.

Throwback Beach Vacation

What a wonderful stay at the beach. It reminded me of years ago. Very laid back, no pressure atmosphere, and yet every present day amenity was available. The home was tastefully furnished to remind you of a beautiful 1950s style beach house. We didn't want to leave, and would come back in minute.

Cozy Beach House.

This was our second year at this house. We love it because it is an original cottage, cozy, and right on the beach. Also because it is pet friendly. The house and kitchen are well-equipped with everything we needed. Karen is just a phone call away if you need something. We look forward to returning again!

A Charming Beach Oasis

I believe it’s one of the original beach homes on the island - vintage style, very well maintained/updated, beautiful, and charming. The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds and furnishings were comfortable. The private beach access with the sunset deck was awesome! We used it almost every evening. The neighborhood was quiet, friendly, and pleasant. The owner/manager was easily accessible via VRBO messaging for any questions we had during our stay. We all very much look forward to returning to this lovely home in the future.

Coziest cottage with the best beach

I cannot overstate how much our family loved 5 Eugenia. My in laws owned on Kiawah Island years ago and have been lamenting the large "McMansions" that have popped up. This original cottage on the gravel road with it's own beach access brought all the nostalgia with all the modern amenities. That we could bring our bulldog to his first beach vacation was the cherry on top. Our host was super responsive when I messaged her about a lightbulb being out, as well as other questions I had when we were checking out. We cannot wait to return!

Casual, cozy and inviting; quiet with easy access to beach; rejuvenating weekend with family.

This vintage cottage is very welcoming, cozy and relaxing. The furnishings are a mix of vintage and white slip-covered comfortable. The home is cottage chic and eclectic. We loved it! Ocean front, easy access to the beach on a quiet end of the road. Our dogs loved lounging on the deck and walks on the beach. We rented bikes and enjoyed long rides on the bikes paths. I loved the old wood; the white painted wood and the open and cozy living area. We spent a lot of time out on the decks. We'll be back!

We had a wonderful week in this lovely, comfortable, and beautifully decorated home. The owner has thought of everything and it worked well for our family of 6 adults. We enjoyed using the great deck and direct access to the beach. Karen was a terrific contact and very responsive. We had a very positive experience and would enjoy visiting again sometime. Thank you!

Wonderful House with Excellent Management

Our family of 6, with ages 15 to 80, loved this property. The location, with a private walk to the beach, could not be better. The home itself is a classic that is well-maintained and clean. The major update to the house, the kitchen, was very well done - great space, functional (ice maker, wine fridge), and stocked with everything needed for family meals. We were charmed by this home. It is a rare find and one I’d like to repeat. Karen, the property manager was excellent. She provided clear and easy instructions - a pleasure to work with all the way through planning to exit.

Skelton Family Beach Week

It was a great week. The house was beautiful and we loved the furnishings and decor. The kitchen was awesome. It had updated appliances and lovely dishes and flatware. We especially enjoyed the ice maker and wine fridge. Staying right on the beach is so convenient. We didn’t miss a sunrise and our grandchildren loved running back and forth. We will definitely be back.

Second Time was Even Better than First

We-Myself,my wife and our pet Lab Retrievers stayed here Spring 2023. We raved about our stay then. We came back last week and had a great time. House is spotless. Wonderful kitchen. Well stocked with any utensil you might need. Back patio porch with umbrella and a sun deck. Weber Grill ready to go. Private boardwalk to the beach. Kiawah is wonderful- beach, biking, tennis, Pickleball and golf. Close by to Freshfields, which includes a Harris Teeter and several restaurants. We will be back Spring 2024. Quiet neighborhood.
