The Height of Luxury and Comfort on Kiawah - Two King Bedrooms, Oceanfront!!

Oceanfront, Oceanviews
2 Bedrooms (2 King Beds, 2 Twin Airbeds)
2 Bathrooms
Accommodates up to 4 Adults and 2 Children (12 yrs or younger including babies)
2 Parking Spaces
No Smoking. No Pets. No Parties.

The Mariah at Windswept is a 2-story, 2-bedroom townhouse that comfortably accommodates up to 4 adults and 2 children. Bathed in warm colors and ample sunlight, appointed in original artwork and topped off with the latest technology, the villa’s 2 master bedrooms, reading nook and living areas show off both personality and class.

Ocean Views From a King-Sized Bed

In the morning, enjoy the ocean view from the warmth of your plush custom-built king-sized bed. During the day, let your toes sink into the handwoven wool rugs that punctuate the property, and take advantage of the kitchen, complete with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

In the evening, linger over the ocean view from living room deck before settling in to the finely-styled living room for a conversation about the day’s events or to watch your favorite movie on the large flat panel television.

Both master bedrooms have memory-foam mattresses, Egyptian-cotton sheets, down-alternative pillows and large flat panel smart televisions. Twin airbeds are also available – we find these to be more comfortable, easier to manage and more versatile than sleeper sofas.

Enjoy time in the private reading nook tucked in the upstairs master bedroom, which has stunning landscape/ocean views. Don’t be surprised to find yourself spending hours here, book and glass of wine in hand.

Both master bedrooms have connecting bathrooms. Upstairs, a double vanity, over-sized tub and separate shower offer ample room to prep for a night out on the town, and the downstairs bathroom has a tub/shower combination.

Steps to the Atlantic Ocean on Kiawah's East Beach

Located just 30 minutes from historic downtown Charleston on Kiawah’s East Beach, this vacation property is ideally situated. The beach is unsurprisingly a favorite destination – and from here, it’s literally steps to the Atlantic Ocean. A cooler and beach towels are conveniently available in the Mariah. All you have to do is have a good time!

Beyond the beach, put some walking shoes on and check out the nearby shops and restaurants. Several miles of bike trail also wind throughout the island; rent a bike and get peddling!

If you need more space or your preferred dates are unavailable, consider staying in the 3-bedroom Penthouse, located one floor up in the same building or the 1-bedroom Escape, located in the adjacent oceanfront building.

Week at the Mariah….

Overall, I’d call this one of the better VRBO options on Kiawah. Perfect location. Steps from the beach which is a MAJOR convenience advantage when packing all of your beach gear to and from. We would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect!

The stay at this Kiawah villa was perfect. It’s a short walk to the beach with the boardwalk to the beach very close by. The week we were there it was low tide during the day, and the beach was SO wide. The villa was beautifully decorated, VERY clean (and I’m pretty picky about that) with beautiful views of the ocean, especially from the upstairs bedroom. Also, nice touch with flowers, and some lights and music on when we arrived. The kitchen is very well equipped and very organized. We would definitely stay here again!

Warm and Cozy Villa!

This villa worked out great for our family of 4. Nicely decorated and had all the amenities needed for a weeks stay. Comfortable beds, pillows and bedding. I’m always happy to find some staple spices in the kitchen so I don’t need to run to the store. View of the ocean was wonderful and the villa is situated in a nice central location on the island. The owners are very easy to communicate with and we’re very helpful when answering questions about the property and are very familiar with the island itself. Would definitely stay again.

Great location although in a more crowded beach area on Kiawah. The condo was nice and well stocked

This condo had a nice view but only from upper bedroom. It was well appointed although the king beds were in rooms very tight for the space. The 1st floor room has poor lighting and the beds were too soft , but ok. I do not feel the property is a value at the price compared to other properties we have rented on Kiawah over the past 20 years. I prefer the less populated areas of the beach, hower this would be good for individuals who have access to the Night heron pool and play grounds.

Just what the Dr. ordered

This home was perfect and met our expectations with ease. The home was nicely furnished with modern furnishings. The kitchen had everything you could possible need for eating at home including some spices and oils. They had more than enough towels and linens and the beach towels was an added plus. The beach was beautiful and clean with an easy walking distance to the Sanctuary and the small convenient store. If you are a golfer the island doesn't fall short on golf courses (7 I think). And the washer and dryer came in very handy. I would recommend this location for a romantic get away or 2 couples or a small family. Thank you very much for letting us enjoy you lovely home.

Spring Breakers from Kentucky

The villa lived up to our expectations and them some. It was easy getting onto the island with our printed guest pass, and was a beautiful, scenic drive to the villa. We couldn't believe how quite it was all over the island! The villa was located on the 3rd floor and we never once had to wait for the elevator. As soon as we walked into the villa, we were met with a pleasant fragrance, lights on, peaceful music playing and just a very inviting atmosphere. The size of the villa was perfect for our party of 6, which included 3 children. What was most helpful was that the kitchen was stocked with all the essentials, so you don't have to buy all those extra things that you only need for the stay - salt and pepper, sugar, dish soap, paper towels, etc. Everything was very neat and labeled really well. The decorations were beautiful and felt unique to the space. And the beds...they were so plush and comfortable, from the sheets to the pillows and duvet. There were also toys, games and DVD's supplied, which was nice for the kids. We found the Freshfields village pretty quickly and dined there 2 nights out of the week, as well as picked up groceries. The drive was only about 5-10 mins from the villa. We never used the Night Heron park pool, but it was very close, and we were told that it was heated. We did take the kids to the Night Heron park and nature center, which was only about a 10 min walk from the villa. We drove to Charleston one day, and the only traffic we experienced was on our drive back around 4 pm, but it moved fairly quickly. Overall the villa was immaculate, well maintained and organized and very homey. We were pleasantly surprised with how quiet it was all over the island. One thing to note, bring bikes if you can! It was too hard for us to get the entire family a bike to ride, considering our 4 year old can't ride a bike yet, but we would have loved to take advantage of all the lovely bike paths. So, if you're looking for a peaceful destination with beautiful surroundings, Kiawah Island and the Mariah are perfect for you! We would come back in a heart beat.

Almost everything

Nice and clean. The owners and managers are very organized and everything was done as promised. Only complaint would be the very soft master bed. If you don't mind, you have lovely views. Also, if you need strollers, be prpared to carry them upnthe first flight. I think all places on the island have the same issue.

Thanks so much for allowing us the use of your beautiful villa! Everything was perfect, especially the little details...we've been coming to Kiawah since 1978 and this was the best villa experience we've had so far! A great 40th birthday weekend for my wife! Thanks!!!

Vacation At Villa Mariah, Kiawah Island

Kiawah Island offers a wonderful panorama of sea, lagoons, wet lands, landscape and golf courses. Villa Mariah has outstanding ocean views from the living, dining, master bedroom and outdoor terrace. Lovely property. Very clean, well maintained and welcoming. We found the decor to be tasetful and appealing. The web is well designed and easy to navigate. The site accurately reflects the villa's appearance and amenities. However, the outdoor terrace was smaller than we thought it would be. The owners were very helpful before and during our stay. In fact, the owners were the best rental group that I have encountered. They provided lots of information about the area's attractions, including directions to Charleston as well as details concerning the villa. Would definately recommend this property. We enjoyed bike riding, the gym, the pool and beach. Also enjoyed beautiful Charleston. Four of us had a wonderful experience at Cafe Cru, a Charleston restaurant. The food and service were outstanding. We thought the space was warm and inviting. For more casual dining, we liked Red, a restaurant on the Marina not far from Kiawah. One thought: the Windswept properties have about 5 or 6 steps leading to the elevator. In the future, we will keep that in mind when packing so as to avoid having to carry very heavy items up the stairs. There are no dollies or carts for luggage transport. We did not notice any ramp access as well.

Wonderful experience!

We stayed for one week the beginning of April. We arrived late to the villa after a long day of travel and immediately felt welcomed as the lights were on, music was playing, and the condo was presented as if we were being welcomed to someone's home. Early the next morning we called Shawn with questions and he arrived at the villa a short time later to answer our questions and make sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Little things that make a big difference are included with the villa- laundry soap, saran wrap and foil, containers to store leftovers from cooking, wine cork to preserve your wine (loved that as we use those at home!). The villa was immaculate, the quality of furnishings and decorations excellent. The Mariah is even nicer than the pictures reflect! We loved the set-up of the villa with the loft upstairs for reading and the separate master bedroom. The location is excellent with wonderful ocean views and a 5 minute walk to the market for the daily paper. Shawn and Jeanette own these properties and maintain them directly, which shows in the quality and service. There is a binder in the villa with loads of info about the island and Charleston, which we found very helpful although it was not our first time to Kiawah. We will look no further than Kiawah Island Getaways for our next trip as the whole experience, from reservations to check-out, was outstanding.

About the host

Hosted by Jeanette Lawson

About Property Managers/Owners, Shawn and Jeanette Lawson (Kiawah Island Getaways):

Shawn's family discovered Kiawah in 1978 and returned year after year for two-week vacations. In 1985 we drove our VW Bug convertible to Kiawah and Shawn introduced me to Kiawah. I remember stepping over the dune boardwalk out in front of the Kiawah Island Inn and seeing Kiawah's wide, sandy beach for the first time - it was so brilliant it practically danced before my eyes. It was during this vacation that the two of us decided to set our sights on moving to this beautiful and fascinating place permanently.

In 1988 our dreams came true and our U-Haul rattled across the Kiawah Island bridge (at that time it was nothing more than a wood-planked bridge). For the next four years we rented a 1-bedroom villa, 4251 Mariner's Watch. Shawn was so thrilled to be living on the island that he applied for the personalized South Carolina license plate 'KIAWAH' (which we still have today).

In 1992, we built our first home on the island at 134 Conifer Lane. During construction, I gave birth to our first son Benjamin - he arrived 2 months early in an ambulance outside of the Kiawah Island Fire Station.

In 2001, we purchased our first villa, a 1-bedroom, beachside Seascape and Kiawah Island Getaways was born. Once we got our feet wet with the villa rental business, it was a like a fever for us. We both really enjoyed furnishing, decorating and maintaining the villas - not to mention the new found fun of meeting and talking to all sorts of people about Kiawah. Because we really enjoy what we do, other Kiawah property owners noticed and we started managing their properties as well.

Our whole family loves Kiawah and running Kiawah Island Getaways is a true family-run business. We personally prepare each villa prior to your arrival - because we want your stay to be perfect. We want you to fall in love with Kiawah too...and we know you will.
