The home is in a great location. The house is very spacious. The kitchen needs new cookware. This house needs lots of loving care. Sadly we will not go back.
We were looking for a house for extended family with various kids ages and close walk to the beach. This house was perfect.
Plenty of room to spread out, comfortable beds, plenty of towels and beach towels. Loved not having to rent chairs and use of the beach cart. The outdoor shower is a must and was used everyday.
The close proximity to the beach was amazing. We did several night beach walks and even got to see the fireworks.
Andy was very helpful with questions and suggestions for bike rental. Checkin was easy just make sure you tell the gate you rented via VRBO to get your car pass.
The only issue we had was with the regular coffee pot not having a carafe but they also had a keurig so not a big deal.
Everyone has a great time and will be back!
Very nice and well-cared-for large house within close walking distance to beach. Plenty of room in house and driveway. Owner provides several nice beach chairs. Convenient section of Kiawah not far from the entrance with good access to shops and restaurants. We rented this for large family gathering three years and plan to return.
Stayed at this house for a Kiawah Golf Trip, and it was perfect for the group and as described. Andrew was a great host and the house is in a great location.
the house itself was nice. the location is what makes it. only 7 mins from a grocery store. just 40 mins from downtown charleston. and a 5 min walk to the nearest beach. you can really enjoy a nice quiet atmosphere here.
What a great house. It has plenty of room for everyone. We had 9 guests ranging from 6 months to 82. Everyone had plenty of room and comfort. It is a very short easy walk to the beach. To top it off Andy is a wonderful host. 5 stars all around.
This is a fantastic home for families with people of all ages. It was a very special stay for us, as we brought our kids, brothers, nephews and parents. Our return to Kiawah after many years was better than we remembered, thanks to an amazing place that was located so close to the beach and central to other island attractions.
There was ample space for everyone to relax and enjoy whatever they chose. I have to say, we never grew tired of the sunroom, any time of day or night. The bedrooms were so comfortable! We slept well every night, right from the start, which is uncommon for several of us. The kitchen and grille were fantastic for cooking large meals and gathering.
Our hosts were gracious and communicated very well. I just can’t say enough about our stay. We hope to come back and visit again!
This house was perfect for our family we had babies and seniors. The layout was great. The kitchen well stocked for a large family. They even had a bag of sunscreens and insect repellents.
It was nice to have beach chairs, bicycles and boogie boards. A short walk to the beach.
This house has 2 half baths on each end of the house.
Men showered in outside shower.
Will definitely rent again!!!
This is a wonderful beach house at Kiawah for families! The home is very comfortable and easy. Great sunroom overlooking lagoon and golf course, den, and even another beautiful room for all to spread out to read, play chess( table provided), play music or watch tv. Kitchen is large and has everything you might need. There is a large deck with seating, very relaxing to come back to after a beach day. Plenty of parking and a great covered area to store bikes/ beach chairs. Can’t say enough good things. Owner is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We loved our vacation and would definitely book again.
This is our 10th trip to Kiawah in various parts of the island and we loved the location of this house! It’s a 6 minute walk from the house to the sand and even shorter if you take your bike. We loved the convenience of being able to run back to the house for a snack or lunch or to use the bathroom. It was also just a short drive to Freshfields to grab groceries or shop and a 15 min bike ride to night heron park. They have a new market there with some grocery items and counter service and a huge wrap around porch with tables and rocking chairs! The house is a great size for 2 families. We had 4 adults and 4 teens/young adults. There was ample space to spread out with 3 living rooms and a large kitchen. Our favorite space was a sunroom in the middle of downstairs that overlooked the water. The deck on the back was nice too. It was a little chillier than normal so we didn’t use it a ton but enjoyed it on the sunny days! Plenty of parking, large garage and also a carport to hold all your beach gear. Also plenty of beach towels and beach chairs to use. Trash cans were located in an easy to access spot too right next to the garage. Andy, the property owner, was friendly and quick to answer questions and solve any problems we had. We had a great week!!!
Our second stay in this spacious house for 9 or 10 people . As longtime Kiawah renters, we especially appreciated:
-- well-planned bedroom/bath layout, comfy beds;
--large, exceptionally well-equipped kitchen (although a little disorganized) and adjacent laundry room;
-- wonderful large dining table with 10 upholstered chairs;
--nice, varied assortment of books and puzzles;
-- attractive outdoor deck with great views of lagoon and golf course;
plentiful parking spaces, very short walk to beach; and
--Nice owner who responded quickly to any queries.
Disappointments included;
--Maintenance issues, especially with ceiling mold (1 bath, large upstairs hall area); minor needed repairs (e.g., some lamps wiith non-functioning on/off switches, one with broken shade; also difficulty turning on light attached to ceiling fan in queen bedroom). Also, we would have appreciated better written onsite information about tv/cable setup and operation. Overall, though, one of our favorite Kiawah rentals.

This was the a great place for a large family. It was an excellent space to be together, but not on top of each other. The walk to the beach was quick and easy, too. I did have to reach out to the owner the day of check-in to obtain info on island access as well as key lock code. The furnishings and general condition of the house was a bit shabby, but my only true complaint was the cleanliness. There was dog hair on all the floors/rugs and furniture, the sheets were stained and there was a large amount of black mold on the upstairs ceiling which is concerning.
The listing is not joking when it says the house is 150 yds from the beach - it was extremely convenient to the beautiful Kiawah Island beach. The house was spacious (three living areas!), perfect for the ten of us (grandparents, parents, children 3, 4, 5, 6 years). Andy was extremely responsive when I texted and fixed the grill problem as soon as he could.
This is a wonderful large vacation property, especially well suited for a group of families. The house is within close and easy walking distance to the beach and also close to the Kiawah entrance making it easily accessible for trips off the island. The house was clean and well-maintained and is accurately described on the website. The neighborhood is quiet. Owner was very helpful and quickly responded to my many questions, which I had mainly as this was our first time at that property. We fully expect to return.
Specious, very well equipped vacation home short walk to the beach
This Kiawah vacation home, a short walk to the beach, exceeded all our expectations. 2 grandparents, 4 young parents, 2 toddlers and one infant had more than enough space to spread out and relax. The large kitchen was generously equipped with every kind of cookware, and dining supplies . We even had a choice of three different venues to choose from for our meals. The 5 bedrooms were well furnished. The house comes with ample towels for the 6 bathrooms as well as for the beach! Beach chaired were also available. We grilled one evening on the spacious deck overlooking the lagoon and golf course and just enjoyed that exquisite view. The laundry room with jumbo size washer and dryer was put to very good use with all our activities and little ones but the feature we most enjoyed was the outdoor cedar shower! What a treat! We would definitely plan to stay here again!
The home is large and has many different spaces to enjoy on the main level which was great for our family. My Dad could watch the news in the family room while my daughter was reading in the sunroom and my son and his girlfriend were doing a puzzle in the living room! We loved being able to look out at the pond and see the flying fish and one day an alligator crawled out and up onto the grass right behind the house. The kitchen is large and has everything you could ever want and more. The owner provides beach towels and there were lots of beach chairs which was much appreciated. My reason for giving three stars was mainly because of the sleeping areas. The carpets on the steps and all but one bedroom are worn, stained and buckled and need to be replaced. Walls and moldings are all marked up and need a fresh coat of paint. Bathrooms were not cleaned thoroughly and had used toothbrushes in the toothbrush holders. The cleaning crew was still cleaning when we arrived at 4:45 so I think maybe they got there late and felt rushed. The house did smell like disinfectant and there was laundry sanitizer which was good to see! The owner was excellent to deal with and was very prompt whenever I had a question. He even allowed my son to exchange a book for one that he had started while we were there! Overall this is a great house that just needs some updating to the upstairs and the master bedroom on the first floor.
Wonderful stay. Had everything we needed. Was perfect for our multi-family vacation. Plenty of gathering room. Short and easy walk to the beach. Communication was prompt and always helpful.
House was very nice, clean, and a great location just a block from the beach. Well maintained with all the amenities of home. We stayed with 3 families, 6 adults 5 kids with plenty of room to spare. Any questions or concerns I had were answered right away by our host Andy, he was very accommodating. Great vacation I highly recommend this house.
My extended family stayed here during our annual family beach reunion. This is the second year we have rented this particular home and it has been the perfect place for us. Lots of space for everyone and very nicely appointed. Light and airy with large windows overlooking the lagoon. Great location; very easy walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend.
We loved everything about this home and our visit to Kiawah. The owner was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. The home was spacious, well-equipped, close to the beach, and in excellent condition.
