Second-floor villa with great lagoon views - steps from the beach

Mariner's Watch 4267

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

You'll be only 150 yards from a fantastic Kiawah beach in a second-floor Mariners Watch villa featuring a screened porch with views of a lagoon! Start your morning with a fresh cup of coffee and your favorite novel on the bench swing out on the patio. You'll love the tranquil nature sounds you hear from the lagoon mixed with the gentle rhythm of the ocean surf. The interior is open and homey, with lots of natural light and a welcoming atmosphere. Use the kitchen for cooking a romantic dinner for two or a hearty lunch for a full day of sun and sand. Snuggle up on the sofa with someone you love to enjoy your favorite shows on the cable TV, then head out for a moonlight walk along the shoreline.

Cougar Point and Turtle Point Golf Courses are less than three miles away if you need to get in some great golfing. If you're in town to visit the East Beach Conference Center, it is less than one mile away. Foodies can try out some local fare at favorites such as Hege's, less than five miles away, or Loggerhead Grill, just under one mile away. Night Heron Park Nature Center is only a mile away for animal lovers to enjoy. You can plan a boating adventure at Bohicket Marina, around five miles away, or go farther into historic downtown Charleston approximately 25 miles away, for a day of pirate tours, art exhibits, live music, restaurants, history tours, and lots of family fun.

Good location

The location of the villa was wonderful. The villa itself is very dated and the cleaning company was in the villa for less than 30 minutes. There were dirty dishes in the cabinets when we went to use them.

VERY DISAPPOINTED

Disgusting, dirty, musty and not at all updated. The only good quality was the 3 minute walk to the beach. All bed linens and towels were laundered in a highly fragrant detergent that was extremely overwhelming. Old plastic plants decorated the Villa. Food cabinets and drawers old, musty, unlined and unorganized, didn't want to use any kitchen stuff. Screened Porch, bug scattered and unwelcoming.

False Advertising and terrible customer service

This property advertises that it accommodates four people. I called multiple times prior to my visit to confirm that we would have bedding for the sleeper sofa since there would be four of us. I was assured that we would. When we got there, there were no linens for the sofa and no extra towels for four people. I texted the entire time I was there with Vacasa and was repeatedly told how sorry they were and they were getting in touch with the local personnel. Long story short, I heard from the “local” staff on Sunday (after getting there on Thursday and the day we were leaving) that the sleeper sofa was not for sleeping but if we wanted it for sleeping, there was a $25 charge. We are requesting a full refund. We came to Kiawah for a wedding and I spent way too much time trying to get Vacasa or VRBO to provide what they promised and actually “accommodate four adults” as listed on the website.

Cozy Condo

This is beautiful, cozy condo that was perfect for a romantic weekend get away. The condo was just perfect for too. The screened in balcony was a wonderful place foe breakfast. Beach access was right across the street, and there are several adventures on the island. But it is also 30-45 minutes to downtown Charleston if you want to have a great day that turns into an evening put.

Perfect vacation condo to stay

Stayed at Mariner's Watch 4267 for the third year now. Close to the beach, beautiful, clean and well appointed to provide all you need for a week's stay. I love Mariner's Watch and this unit is the one I always return to. Try it and you'll see why.

Great little condo

We had a wonderful stay at this nicely appointed condo. The unit is small but big on everything you need like a very comfortable king size bed and plush sofa. AND… the best part is, it’s only a couple minute walk to the beach.

Affordable Access to Kiawah Beaches and Charleston

The unit shows its considerable age but was clean and serviceable. Note that the laundry is a shared facility in the basement. Small things that could make the unit more comfortable include a second luggage rack, better lighting to allow for reading, and a throw for use in the living room. Note that guest's car will be covered in tree droppings daily - for white vehicles I suggest frequent wipe downs to avoid staining. No fault of the unit - simply a warning to be prepared.

Perfect weekend getaway

This condo was everything we needed for a long weekend. It was perfect for two people. It is small but I didn’t plan to cook on such a short trip. Super clean. A short walk to the gorgeous beach! The porch swing was awesome. I drank coffee on the swing and listened to the birds in the morning while watching the wildlife in the lagoon. Definitely will go again!

Girls long weekend

Wonderful weather for an October getaway but the spectacular views on this property added SO much more to our long weekend on the beach. This was my 1st time ever looking for/getting a VACA and was surprised at the added $ for fees / taxes to the total cost. On entering the place it smelled musty ( maybe put those car vent air fresheners in the air conditioner vents...just a suggestion) Was beyond pleased with the space, location, and surroundings.

Pictures are deceiving

The online pictures of this property are without a doubt photo-shopped/ have a filter to make this condo appear newer, brighter, and cleaner than it actually is. The unit is old and could use some updates. Within 24 hours we stepped on a roach in the kitchen. While the property manager was quick to respond, their solution was a can of Raid which a runner dropped off and sprayed around the kitchen area (apparently contractors, including exterminators, are not allowed on the island on the weekends). There was also a clear garbage bag of dirty towels and linens that sat outside our front door for three days from the unit next door after their guests departed. Check in and check out process was straightforward and simple. While the proximity to the beach was nice, I will not be back to this property, and would not recommend as I'm sure there are nicer options on Kiawah.
