Location: A short ride to Night Heron Park and 2 fabulous pools and to 10 miles of beautiful beach. 273 Summer Tanager Ct is located on a quiet 5 home cul-de-sac, a mile from the front gate.

View: 273 overlooks the 9th and 10th fairways of Kiawah's 4.5 star Cougar Point Golf Course and a large lagoon separating them. One can see the 9th and 10th greens as well the 10th tees. In the evening, see the fabulous sunset over the lagoon and golf course.

Residence: This house is designed with wide windows allowing sunlight in the living room during the morning and afternoon. The master bedroom has a panoramic view of the lagoon and golf course. All rooms are outfitted with the latest and large TVs, wall mounted for optimum viewing. The TVs range from 32' to 51'. The kitchen has its own 32' TV.
The living room has a brick fire place centering the room. The furnishings include a brand new 3 piece Mahogany leather couch set with dual reclining sofas, a love seat, and a glider recliner, which faces the fire place affixed with a 51' TV mounted right to the brick.

The master suite has a cottage retreat king panel bed, dresser, night stands, and a weatherly set king size mattress. The 42' TV is wall mounted and compliments the cottage retreat matching furniture.

Why Kiawah: The Summer 2012 issue of Coastal Living ranked Kiawah Island #1 as the “most blissful place to live along the coasts of the United States”. Writer Tracey Martin says, “If heaven had a zip code, it would have to be 29455. This exquisite barrier island is home to 10 miles of unspoiled fine-sand beach; wild-growing palmetto oak, and magnoalia trees; a veritable Noah’s ark’s worth of mammals and rare birds; and 1.626 lucky residents. With small-town charms and proximity to the gracious urbanity of Charleston, Kiawah makes the ideal possible: a vacation-like lifestyle with easy access to commerce and culture. Home to five award-winning golf courses, the island will play host to the PGA Championship in August. Frankly, life here is one sweet day of play after another- biking on the 30-plus miles of paved paths, or shopping at local hub Freshfields Village (at the crossroads of Kiawah, Seabrook, and Johns islands). Residents often kayak down the tree-shaded Kiawah River to watch egrets, herons, and bald eagles enjoying their sanctuary. And when the sun goes down on this paradise, you’ll be amazed at the sea of stars above.”

Perfect gettaway

Property was perfect for our needs! Rain kept us mostly inside, but great viewing from porch and deck when we could - gator in our lagoon; house had everything we needed - very spacious- three full baths! Owner was great to communicate! Proximity to beach access and Night Heron pool amenities was key!!!

Great Time at Kiawah

My family of four and dog spent five days at this lovely home. The house was comfortable and spacious and very welcoming. There was enough room for all of us and we had everything we needed. The home has a beautiful view of the golf course and was very private and quiet. The location is great as you are close to Night Heron Park, The Sanctuary and the entrance to Kiawah. Would stay again.

Our Thanksgiving getaway.

The oven was not working. When Ivan found out the oven would not be fixed in time. He brought 2 air-fryers for us to use. He went the extra step to make sure we have everything we needed. We enjoy the house and area so much. Lots of room and peace and quite. Our grandkids love the beach and riding their bikes. We had a great trip. Looking forward to next year.

Worst stay ever

This was not a good experience. Similar to other renters, we encountered the place in disarray. Many upgrades are required. The smell was the worst part. Felt like we were all exposed to mold and mildew. The oven/stove didn’t work so was refunded 20%. Host gave option to cancel but by the time we found out, other accommodations all booked. I would seek accommodation elsewhere. I wish I had received a larger refund for this inconvenience.

Home coming weekend at the Citadel

The home is in a great location, the views of the fairways are excellent. It's a shame the current owner is not willing to pay professionals to update and maintain the property. The oven and garbage disposal did not work. the floors look like a teenager installed them. there is visible rot on the siding. the front stairs have been replaced, but the rise is too large to meet any building code. Overall we made the best of it. Will not be staying here again!

Great location

We love staying at this house. The location is great, even though it's across the parkway. The area is quite and sitting on the golf course gives such beautiful views. The screened porch is our favorite spot in the house, and when we want to go inside, the family room is cozy with extremely comfortable furniture. This is the best dog-friendly house we've stayed in.

Recent Stay

On a good note, the location and views of this property were very good, the layout of the home was good...communications with the owner were prompt and it is clear they are trying to make improvements based on recent VRBO feedback. The front steps have been repaired and the AC worked great. That said, this property is in need of a MAJOR renovation. Biggest are of concern was strong musty order throughout home. Visible evidence of mildew/dirt/mold? on all the air ducts. Carpet in bedrooms, dated, stained and in poor condition. The back deck furniture was rusty and in poor condition...deck had not been cleaned in a long time. Bathrooms (Jack and Jill and Master) very dated and in poor condition (including duct tape in tub). Inside of kitchen cabinets/drawers were dirty and felt unsanitary. Blinds in kitchen and some bedrooms were covered in dust. Bottom line, the house has real potential...but really needs a significant overhaul/updating.

Dangerous & Dilapidated

This home is in very poor condition. Front steps were rotten and my son-in-law stepped thru the third step. Contacted Kiawah resort and was told the owners didn't have maintenance contract. Inside the home, everything looked shabby. Appliances were old and oven did not work. Master bath tub had large crack which had been patched with duct tape. Called owners and was told they would contact property managers but couldn't guarantee when problems would be fixed. Called VRBO but they were no help. Spent many hours on phone searching for new place to stay. Owners did refund our money but it was a stressful 24 hours trying to find another place. Will never rent directly from homeowners or VRBO again.

Well-Worn Property in good location

This property needs some TLC and the communication between the local property manager and owner needs some refining. During our stay we encountered it all-dysfunctional air conditioning, broken oven (ie didn’t work), dirty linens, roaches, leaking ceilings, empty propane tanks etc. The house needs a complete reno, the stairs leading into the house are so badly weathered that someone will need a tetanus shot by summers end if they slip through. Local property management refused to help after countless attempts. When reached, the owners did a good job of rectifying though sadly this was after battling the local help for 4-5 days. Not what anyone wanted on their vacation. The house is located in a great area close to the hotel and services.

Great location but house needs repairs

The location is fabulous! The views of the golf are gorgeous. However, the place needs major repairs. The front steps are caving in and we felt like we would fall through, there were cob webs all over, cockroaches in the bathroom by the garage, the master bathtub has a huge crack that they covered with white duct tape, the flooring in the master bedroom was coming apart and splintered, the dishwasher isn’t secured so it fell opened onto my child, and the twin beds in the back bedroom need to be replaced. The whole house needs a fresh coat of paint and some of the bathrooms need a redo. We had two bags of the last persons used linen and a trash bag sit on our front porch the entire stay even though we called housekeeping and told them.

Great family vacation

We had a wonderful time. The house was well equipped, and the golf course views were beautiful. It was a short walk to the resort pools. The kids loved the slides and swimming. We went on several walks and runs during our stay on the scenic trails. We drove to the beach, because it was easier for us with all our stuff. The beds and furniture were very comfortable. As others said, the house could use some repairs, but it did not negatively impact our visit. We would definitely stay here again!

House needs updating.

Great view… and owner answered promptly to any questions we had. Enjoyed our stay except for a few things. Check in was ok, confusing and people acted like we should know what to do. House needs updating bad. Too many things to list! Door to screen porch does not lock. Stick to sliding glass door was finally found our last day in the bathroom by the kitchen. ( not sure why someone would put it there?) We went to go out and when we came back master bedroom door was open. We made sure to shut all doors before we left. Not sure if someone came in or not? Weird… We called the resort and they had someone come fix the master bedroom door. They also had someone call me about the door being open when we came home. We did not have any other problems after that.

Loved It!

The best qualities of this home are in the A+ category. Unless you can score a home overlooking the Ocean Course with the Atlantic Ocean in the background, this is about best golf course view you will find! Location is wonderful - in very quiet cul-de-sac where, other than the mail carrier, only one family drives by. Plenty of seating on the back deck, the screened in porch, dining area and den. Bedrooms and beds, especially the master, are great. Some reviews have noted that a little TLC would help, and I won't argue. Overall, however, I loved this house.

About the host

Hosted by Ivan Kovac

My mom visited Charleston on a medical conference and toured Kiawah with fellow doctors. She brought my dad and me down on a summer vacation and we fell in love. We purchased a 1 bedroom villa in 2004 and we purchased this beautiful private home on the 4.5 star Cougar Point Golf Course.

Why they chose this property

My home is located on a quiet cul-de-sac. This beautiful home offers superb lagoon views, as well as views of Cougar Point's 9th and 10th fairways.
