We had a wonderful stay! This will be my 45th year on Kiawah. Our family has always had a place here, but we needed more space this year. Ann is a great host! Check-in is easy. She provides four new adult bicycles that must be put away every night in the storage space and rinsed off before leaving. She has beach chairs, some beach games, sand-making tools, and a great outside shower. The shower on the boardwalk is also excellent. The pathway from her home to the beach is at a dead end, so there is no path noise. Her cottage backs up to a pond/lagoon. We saw deer every morning and evening, many birds, and a couple of alligators. The overhead fans help to keep the home cool. Her pantry was extensive, so take inventory before buying a ton at the store. I did leave her a few new items to replenish. As a local, do not buy food at HT at Fresh Fields, unless you want to pay 25% more. It is super convenient, but head to James Island! We have a great Publix, Harris Teeter, and Walmart. The beds were comfortable. The front bedroom had the most comfortable mattress, but I gave that room to my parents. My three kiddos stayed in the bunk room 10,14, and 18. Everyone seemed happy and slept well. You must bring your own beach towels, paper towels, toilet tissue, Kleenex, hand soap shampoo/conditioner, and body soap for the three bathrooms. Laundry detergent is provided to wash the sheets and towels at the end of your trip. Thank you Ann!
