Private Pool, 4-Minute Bike Ride to Beach, 4 Covered Balconies & Serene Views of Maritime Forest

Welcome to Summer Tanager - a peaceful Kiawah Island retreat designed for families who seek space to slow down, reconnect with one another and enjoy the natural beauty of South Carolina's Lowcountry. Nestled within the quiet maritime forest of Kiawah Island, this 4-bedroom home offers privacy, comfort and effortless access (via a 4 minute rental bike ride or a 15 minute walk) to the award-winning Kiawah Island beach. Whether you’re sipping coffee on one of the home's four covered balconies while the morning light filters through the trees, cooling off with a dip in the home's private pool or winding down after a salt-air-filled day, Summer Tanager sets the tone for an easy, memorable coastal stay.



Kiawah Island is a private access, park-like gated community with a very unique conservation approach. Surround yourself in the splendor of Kiawah Island's stunning natural beauty, which features rolling sand dunes, lush seaside forests, beautiful marshland and freshwater ponds. You'll feel your stress levels melt away as you bike or walk the 30+ miles of trails, kayak through the marsh waters, hunt for sharks' teeth & shells on the 10-mile long beach along the Atlantic Ocean, spend a soothing afternoon at the spa, play a round of golf, take tennis lessons with a pro or read a book in a lounge chair on the beach. Be sure to check out Kamp Kiawah & nature programs for your kids, take a drive to nearby Charleston, SC and visit the tea plantation on Wadmalaw Island!
