About this property

Tranquil villa just steps from the beach!

Our Windswept Villa is located just a short walk down the path from Kiawah's world-renowned, 10 mile-long beach! The setting is tranquil, and very "Kiawah". We love the beauty of the coastal shingle-styled buildings nestled in the natural setting that draws most of us to Kiawah Island in the first place, and has captured our hearts forever. We enjoy stepping out each morning with a cup of coffee for a walk along the beach. Later in the day we can take our beach chairs and a book and relax next to the ocean. At some point each day we hop on bikes to explore the island along the miles of bike paths that wind through the forest and past amazing seaside cottages, and architecturally stunning mansions. We love that we are not rushed. We know to take our time and enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of the island for our short time here. There are no crowds EVER. Even over the busiest holidays, we are pleasantly surprised by how few people are sharing our little vacation experience. There is no other place like it! License # RBL20-000232

Lovely Condo

Great little condo just steps from the beach. Perfect for marathon weekend because we were able to walk to spots around the course after the roads closed. Short drive to great restaurants and shops. Thank you Tom and Anne - we would definitely stay again

Wonderful Vacation Destination

The villa was perfect for the two of us. It had everything we needed and truly was steps away from the beach, which we enjoyed every day. The owners made the whole process very easy and were very responsive when I had a simple question. We look forward to visiting family there again and hopefully staying at this property if it is available :).

Loved This Villa

Everything about this villa is topnotch. My husband and I stayed here for a month. It was very quiet, no one else in the other three units in this building. The bed was comfortable and the furnished were nice.I loved that there was a nice collection of cleaning supplies, even stainless steel cleaner for the appliances. Most renters probably would not think this is a plus but we were here for a month.The shower is excellent, great water pressure.The washer and dryer are conventional and in their own separate room.We had space to store our bikes in the storage area beneath the unit. Locked and safe.Check in was easy and the extra keys were appreciated.I would recommend this villa to any couple looking for a relaxing stay. We are planning to return again next year.Thank you to Tom and Anne for renting to us.

Perfect Villa in Kiawah

I was in Kiawah for a friend's wedding and stayed for an entire week. This was the perfect place to stay- SO close to the beach, more space than I anticipated, and very clean. Communication from Tom was fantastic, and when a beach chair broke during our stay it was replaced (not expected and very kind!). Would absolutely stay here again, and highly recommend this place for your Kiawah vacation!

Beautiful getaway

We stayed at this apartment for my longest friend's wedding weekend and absolutely loved it. It was spacious, clean, fresh, in a great location walkable to the main Sanctuary Hotel where we visited the pool and beach, and had very quaint pleasant decorations within. Overall a beautiful home with very positive vibes. Full recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Anne

Host profile image
We have been vacationing on Kiawah for more than 20 years. After visiting many "typical" vacation communities with my family over the years, we discovered the unique vacation experience of Kiawah in 1998, and fell in love. Although we live in Omaha, NE, we have been coming here ever since.
We have 4 children, and we stay in a 3 bedroom Night Heron Cottage when we come as a family. We bought this villa in 2018 and rented it to guests through the Kiawah Island Resort for the past 2 years. However, we found that the resort management did not provide a high enough level of vacation experience for our guests, to justify the inflated prices charged. We want our guests to feel that they have a wonderful vacation, as well as a good value. So...we have taken over control! We hope to have many happy guests who want to come back to Kiawah year after year like we do!

Why they chose this property

This is such a great location, with proximity to the beach without having to cross any roads! This villa is all about the beach and the beauty of Kiawah!

What makes this property unique

No need to cross any roads to get to the beach. And if you forgot something, or just need a fresh drink, the villa is right there!!
