This was our first time on Kiawah and didn't know much at all about the island. We had been overwhelmed when looking at rentals before because things are 'East Beach or West Beach' and we didn't know where we wanted to be. We hit the jackpot with this villa, especially for this time of year. The villa itself is exactly as pictured. Very clean, nicely furnished beach rental, well stocked kitchen. We were able to bring our dog but if you didn't have a pet you would never know that this is a pet friendly rental because of the cleanliness. The perks of this rental are the location and all of the toys. The location is just outside of the main gate, an easy drive to Freshfields Market for groceries, restaurants, shopping,etc. , or to Bohickets Marina or to Johns Island. It's also an easy - 5-10 min walk to the beach via a bike pathway and paved road. Don't worry about packing chairs and such and bringing from home because the owners have supplied everything you could think of. There is a beach wagon, beach chairs, boogie boards, toys. There are plenty of bikes to chose from, 3 kayaks with paddles and vests, a grill..... they have really thought of everything. This unit is very close to the Beachwalker Park which is a county run park. There are bathrooms, showers, lifeguards, and all in the same style as Kiawah itself. There is a community pool that is a 5 minute walk, and a community dock on the Kiawah River where we fished and launched the kayaks. Everything has the low profile, natural resort style that Kiawah seems to be known for. There is so much to do here, the beach, walks, bike rides, fishing, birding, golf, tennis, pools, boating,etc. We would definitely stay here again. There are no negatives to this rental !!
