About this property

262 Governors Drive by Akers Ellis Rentals

RBL20-000339
In accordance with the Town of Kiawah Island Short Term Rental Ordinance, all guests understand that the approved number of bedrooms is 4, the maximum allowed occupancy is 10, and the maximum allowed number of vehicles is 5.

This Kiawah Island vacation rental features four bedrooms, a private heated saltwater pool, and Osprey Point Golf Course views. Conveniently positioned on Governors Drive, the main thoroughfare in Vanderhorst Plantation, the home is a 7-minute bike ride to the beach and across the street from popular Marsh Island Park.

As you enter through the front door, you are welcomed by a view of the living room which opens to the kitchen and dining area. The living room has a sectional couch, flat-screen TV, and access to the pool and deck. The open kitchen offers ample counter space, Thermador stainless steel appliances, and a large island with bar seating for up to 6. The adjacent dining area has an easily expandable dining table with seating for 10 people.

The downstairs primary suite offers a king-sized bed, access to the deck and pool, and a luxurious private bathroom with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Upstairs, you will find three additional bedrooms. The upstairs secondary suite has a king-sized bed and spacious bathroom with double sinks and a walk-in shower. A second upstairs bedroom has a queen-sized bed and an attached bathroom with a walk-in shower. The third upstairs bedroom has a full-over-full bunk bed and a private bathroom with a shower/tub combo. Also upstairs, you will find another living room with two sofas, two side chairs, and a flatscreen TV.

The screened porch, which can be entered through the dining area, has comfortable sofas and a flat-screen TV. Off the screened porch, you will find a full bathroom to freshen up after the pool or beach. The outdoor back deck has a dining table and chairs along with poolside lounge seating. At the garage level, you will find a game room with a ping pong table. Just outside the garage, there is an outdoor shower perfect for rinsing off after a long day at the beach.

The home is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.

Please note that this property has exterior security cameras that view the home's front entrance as well as the pool equipment under the back deck. The cameras serve to protect both the property owner and rental guests.

The dimensions of the pool are approximately 10 x 20. The pool has a gas heater, so the pool may be heated in cooler months for an additional fee of $75 per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available. Contact us directly to add pool heating to your reservation.

Guest reservations of 3 to 21 nights come with a valuable credit to use towards beach gear rentals during your stay! The credit amount for this property is $300. You may use your credit for bicycles, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, and more – the choice is yours!

During your stay on Kiawah Island, be sure to enjoy biking on the 30 miles of flat bike trails, golfing on one of five world-class courses, playing tennis, crabbing, fishing, swimming, and boating. Many families also enjoy the kids’ camp and nature programs at Night Heron Park.

Kiawah Island is about 40 minutes from historic Charleston, famous for incredible shopping, galleries, antique stores, museums, the South Carolina Aquarium, horse-drawn carriage rides, historic landmarks, and sumptuous dining.
