Relaxing vacation
This property had everything we needed for our stay and was very clean. Location is great- quick walk to the pool or beach and easy to get to Freshfields Village for dinner or shopping.

Perfect Vacation Spot
We have been to Kiawah many times and have stayed in several lovely townhomes and cottages, though never the same one twice - until now! Ann & Hollis' cottage is perfect in every way, from the well-appointed kitchen to the beautiful lagoon view, it was exceptional in every way. We will definitely book this cottage again!

This cottage was great for 2 couples. It was very comfortable and had everything that you might need. Short walk to a beautiful Kiawah beach. We saw a variety of birds and an alligator floated by a couple of times. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Kiawah getaway
Our stay at the cottage was just the quiet, peaceful and relaxing vacation that we were looking for. We spent hours on the back deck enjoying the birds and other wildlife in and around the lagoon, which is located just off the screened-in porch and deck. Virtually everything you need for a relaxing vacation is there — including beach chairs, umbrella and beach cart. Communication with the hosts was great and we were able to walk and bike easily to the beach and around the island.

Beautiful home overlooking one of the ponds on Kiawah with screened porch and deck to see all the wildlife. Tucked away, so it's very peaceful but also a short walk or ride to the beach. Bring your bikes! Great trails all over the island.

Smoke detectors needed new batteries so we went to store for batteries….
Nice property! Queen bed mattress didn’t work well for two people as they rolled in to the middle.. We purchased bird food so we could see some activity. That was fun. Could do with bigger tvs ….kitchen was well supplied. Enjoyed our stay. Thanks very much.

Perfect
We wanted to thank the owners for sharing such a wonderful cottage with us. It was so relaxing watching the wildlife. We actually got to see 3 different alligators(one very large!) from the back deck. We could not have asked for anything more. I would highly recommend staying here. Cant wait to go back.

Lovely, has everything you'd need.
Ann and Hollis make this cottage a wonderful vacation spot. We stayed last July 4th and had a wonderful time. The owners take pride in maintaining their property as well as a high-end hotel. They were responsive and there if they were needed. The property is decorated beautifully, it is close to the beach and in an upscale community. We'd definitely return. Thanks for making our July 4th vacation special!

A Wonderful Getaway
This was our first getaway in two years, and it was worth the wait. The Garris’ were gracious hosts and their cottage is comfortable and well appointed. We spent much of our trip lounging on the deck and screened in porch, watching the activity and fishing in the lagoon. Our boys had a blast and we made memories that will last a lifetime. We are eager to return and hope to be able to very soon.

Wonderful stay!
This house was a wonderful place to stay! Everything we needed was available and we felt very comfortable in our surroundings. The owners were a real pleasure to deal with, we couldn't have asked for more. Lots of wildlife and a great location by the lagoon and the beach a short walk away. We loved Freshfields Village, lots of food choices. The drive to Charleston is pleasant and doesn't take long at all. I would love to stay here again in the future, wonderful place for a nice relaxing and peaceful vacation. Definitely 5 Stars!!!!

We stayed at this wonderful cottage and enjoyed every minute of it! We loved how the owners were such great hosts and outfitted it with anything you'd think you'd ever need. While we were well prepared because we weren't sure what to expect, it exceeded our expectations. Kiawah is a beautiful place and this cottage is so close to the golf course and the white sand beach. Just an absolutely wonderful relaxing vacation. Thanks for having us!

Peaceful and pretty setting
A lovely and well-appointed cottage with excellent facilities, good kitchen, well-maintained. Back deck and living room face a small creek and abundant bird life. Beach is a ten minute walk (three minute bike ride) and it is gorgeous. Cyclists should know that paths are not well-signed and not designed for long rides-- winding and cut by cross roads.

Kiawah Summer 2020
This was our family's first stay on Kiawah, and we were not disappointed. The island was beautiful and the cottage was situated perfectly on the water for morning and afternoon bird watching and the occasional alligator and deer sitings. Likewise, the cottage was well appointed, very clean, and a close walk to the beach. The owners are very responsive and helpful, and we would definitely recommend this cottage to all nature lovers. Thank you, Ann and Hollis, for sharing your home with us. We had a wonderful and relaxing stay.

About the host

Hosted by Ann or Hollis Garris

Host profile image
We are Charlestonians who have enjoyed Kiawah for many years. Hollis sells real estate on the island (843 860 1845) and Ann is a retired nurse now a private walking tour guide (843 224 7817 ) in Charleston , SC. We love to share the local secrets with our guest and are close by should you need something. As we live only 30 minutes away in Charleston , we personally manage our cottage with a hands on approach. We strive to have it perfect for our guest as vacations are so important to us all.

Why they chose this property

Love the quietness of this area and the close proximity to the beach. Being in the West beach makes a trip into Charleston a much shorter adventure. We are an end cottage in a cul de sac and have a wonderful open view of the lagoon. It is perfect in every way for the guest who is here to enjoy nature, the beach , or an afternoon in Charleston or maybe short bike ride to the grocery or many shops at the "quaint" Freshfield Village . The quietness of our area allows our guest to listen to the birds and relax - even if here for just for a short while.

What makes this property unique

Best lagoon view in the West Beach . Easy walk to the beach, pool, and the new (2019 ) Cougar Point Golf Course Clubhouse with the Players' Club restaurant and lounge . Our Cottage is ...Great for watching nature and relaxing. Quiet, Quiet and Quiet !
