RBL19-000074
In accordance with the Town of Kiawah Island Short Term Rental Ordinance, all guests understand that the approved number of bedrooms is 4, the maximum allowed occupancy is 10, and the maximum allowed number of vehicles is 5.

This luxury Kiawah Island vacation rental, located in West Beach, boasts updates throughout, four bedrooms, a beautiful screened porch, great deck space, private pool and Cougar Point golf views. The home is just a 7-minute walk or 2-minute bike ride to the beach.

Walk in through the front door and immediately notice the coastal feel, shiplap walls, and hardwood floors. The living area features plenty of space for the whole family with 2 sofas, 2 chairs, a TV, and access to the back deck. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped and highlighted by a large center island with 4 barstools. Guests will enjoy cooking with the stainless-steel appliances, including 2 ovens and an ice maker. The dining space seats 6 and offers easy access to the screened porch.

The first-floor primary suite features a king-sized bed and TV and has direct access to the porch. The spacious primary bathroom has a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and two sinks. Upstairs, there is a second living space with a sleeper sofa and TV. It shares a bathroom with another bedroom with a king-sized bed and TV. That bathroom has a shower/tub combo. Down the hall, you will find the remaining 2 bedrooms. One has a queen-sized bed and the other has 2 sets of twin over twin bunks. Both bedrooms share access to a bathroom with a shower/tub combo.

Outside, the private pool, back deck, and screened porch invite you to sit back and unwind. Enjoy relaxing poolside on lounge chairs or a high-top table and chairs that seats 4. Cook dinner for the family on the back deck using the gas grill. The screened porch offers a comfortable L-shaped sofa and chair under a ceiling fan.

The home is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.

Please note that this property has an exterior security camera that views the home's front entrance. This camera serves to protect both the property owner and rental guests.

The pool has a gas heater, so the pool may be heated in cooler months for an additional fee of $75 per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available. Contact us directly to add pool heating to your reservation.

Guest reservations of 3 to 21 nights come with a valuable credit to use towards beach gear rentals during your stay! The credit amount for this property is $300. You may use your credit for bicycles, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, and more – the choice is yours!

During your stay on Kiawah Island, be sure to enjoy biking on the 30 miles of flat bike trails, golfing on one of five world-class courses, playing tennis, crabbing, fishing, swimming, and boating. Many families also enjoy the kids’ camp and nature programs at Night Heron Park.

Kiawah Island is about 40 minutes from historic Charleston, famous for incredible shopping, galleries, antique stores, museums, the South Carolina Aquarium, horse-drawn carriage rides, historic landmarks, and sumptuous dining.

Beautiful home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great house for sure. We really enjoyed the spacious interior and the pool was outstanding. The exterior of the home is beginning to show some wear and tear and for this price point we would have expecting higher quality amenities from the outdoor furniture, grill and screened in porch. Overall a beautiful place to stay and a very short bike ride to the beach.

Our second visit to this property; fourth visit to Kiawah

This was our second stay at this property and our fourth visit to Kiawah. I’ll start by saying there is nothing terribly wrong with the property, but the wear and tear it has endured over the last couple of years since our last visit does not come through very clearly in the posted photos. The living room furniture is a bit tired and has some staining, the floors didn’t seem very clean when we arrived, the towels provided were few and very thin, etc. In addition, while we paid to have the pool heated ($75/day), it was obvious over our first two days that the pool wasn’t heating up. We called and were told it was too cold outside for the heater to kick in, but nobody offered any refund. Someone eventually stopped by to “fix” the issue (I think he just turned on the heater!). The location of the property to Night Heron Park and the beach is excellent. In the end, I just expected more/better for the price it costs to stay at this property. We will search for another property the next time we visit.

Great Holiday

Our family celebrated Thanksgiving at Kiawah. 57 Surfwatch is in a perfect location to enjoy all that Kiawah has to offer. House has great space, supplied well and managed well. We had a few issues that were taken care of promptly My only complaint is the living room rug, it is shredded on the edges and we were tripping over it all week. Other than that no complaints.

Awesomely equipped rental property!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was wonderful. We loved having a pool and it was so well-equipped. There were even toys and books for the kids to play with. The pool was shaded which was a nice reprieve from the August heat. All of the sheets and bedding were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well-equipped and organized! The only issue we had were spiked pinecones falling into the pool. We had to sweep it quite a few times and it was impossible to get them out of the pool from the bottom without a pool vacuum.

A Beautiful Escape!

We've been coming to Kiawah for years with our girls and have stayed many places on the island. This house was exceptional. It is even more gorgeous than the photos...beautifully decorated, wonderfully spacious with lots of natural light and well-appointed with many thoughtful amenities. The house was clean and comfortable and just gorgeous. A quick bike ride to easy beach access. We especially enjoyed the lovely pool and screened back porch. The kitchen and pantry storage were wonderful. Thank you for a lovely stay and another memorable week in one of our favorite places!

Beautiful Home

All seven of us loved this house. It was beautiful, comfortable, and located very close to the beach. We were amazed at the organization exhibited by the owners. Every light switch, every shelf for kitchenware, every fan, etc. was labeled. We would love to stay in this beautiful home many times to come. It was equipped with everything imaginable. One of the best homes we have ever enjoyed at Kiawah, and we have stayed in many homes there.

Beautiful Home, Needs Some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I will share the positives first. The house is beautiful. The furnishings and finishes are lovely. The home is spacious and the layout family friendly. I love having two master bedrooms. The walk to the beach is very doable, even for older individuals. The pool and yard were serviced while we were there.Now the negative. The house was not clean and is in need of some tlc. When we arrived, there were 50 towels shoved in the dryer. I’m not exaggerating. Bath, kitchen, and beach towels packed in so tight, I could barely pull them out. It was unbelievable. I assume they were all “washed” together like that as well. I spent the first 2 days washing 6 loads, yes 6 loads, of towels. I wasn’t about to use those on our bodies without washing them again. Not something you want to spend your vacation doing. The gas stove does not work properly. If you want to make pasta, plan on boiling the water an hour in advance. Not exaggerating. The maintenance man said the propane was at 28%, but no one ever returned to fix the problem. There was not a single dishrag in the kitchen to wipe things down. The office brought more dish towels, which is not what we needed. The drain in the upstairs bath was clogged. My son and husband cleaned it out. There were dirty dishes left on the shelves in the bunk beds. It made us wonder if they even cleaned the bedding. You need a NASA engineer to work the tv in the family room. The bottom line is, the rentals need to be cleaned much better. It was obvious that it was a rush job. We paid too much money for this to happen.

Great, then terrible

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a clean and spacious house in a great location. At the start, we thought we'd made a perfect choice for our trip. However mid-week, the house ran out of gas. For three days: no hot water, no pool heat, no cooking gas. The rental company assured us each day that the gas company was "on the way", but they never arrived. To be fair, they were very supportive and sympathetic, and provided us with what we feel is fair restitution, but the back end of our trip was ruined by this problem. If this had not happened, we would have had a 5* trip. Paying extra for the pool heat was worth it, except that when the gas runs out, the pool heat turns off.

Excellent Vacation

House was in perfect condition. Location is superb - close to entrance to Kiawah and close to beach access. Communication with the rental company was outstanding. We only had 2 very minor issues, and they were corrected immediately. We will definitely rent from this company again and would stay at this property again, as well.

Excellent location and mgt

This location is excellent especially if traveling with children and/or multiple families. The beach is a 30 sec bike ride or very short walk if carrying a toddler. The upstairs layout has queens w twin rooms accessed thru the adult room queens. Great if kids sleeping in the twins but would be awkward if adults having to go thru each other’s rooms for access. Kitchen well stocked w the basics. Plenty of space. Safe cul de sac for the kids to play. Property management group Akers Ellis exceptionally responsive. We had to relocate from another home to this one on short notice and they were excellent. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
