Wonderful Rental!

This home was everything we could have asked for on Kiawah Island! Very comfortable layout and beautifully decorated. Close enough to beach to hear the waves. The back deck overlooking pond was a great for reading and dining. Lots of wildlife to keep us entertained! Thank you to the awesome hosts!

Perfect place for Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful stay in this home for a long weekend over the Thanksgiving holiday. The kitchen had everything we needed for a full Thanksgiving meal with plenty of serving pieces! We’ve been to Kiawah several times and were pleasantly surprised how close the house was to the beach. Would definitely come back!

Beachy Home

We so enjoyed our stay at this lovely home on a lagoon and within easy walking distance to a beautiful beach. Beds were comfy. Lots of space to spread out .Kitchen was fully stocked. The management staff was quick to answer any questions. The weather was great even with the blustery winds. Enjoyed exploring the island. Tea Plantation on Wadmalaw was quite interesting. Enjoyed lunch at Heron Night Park and dinner at Tomasso's. Beautiful place to relax and unwind!

Nice Relaxing Stay

The location of Surfscooter is about as good as you could ask for. My wife has to use a wheelchair and we could easily get to the beach down the asphalt public access and boardwalk. In September the water is still warm and the beach is pretty empty. The house is very clean and well stocked in the kitchen if you want to cook. The beds were comfortable and linens were good quality. Plenty of nice places to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. The back deck has two nice rockers and a table to eat outdoors. We took advantage of the gas grill with a tasty steak and shrimp dinner. The lagoon in the back has plenty of wildlife (Alligators, Great Blue Heron, Egrits...). There were games in the hall closet for the rainy days and some beach chairs in the outside storage shed for the sunny days. The home is nicely decorated and furnished. One thing that could be improved is the front steps. The rise has got to be the maximum allowed by code. Its would have been nice to extend the steps out one more and lower the rise. We would highly recommend a stay here.

Wonderful home

We stayed at 86 Surfscoter ln. The pictures on line did not do justive to the actual home. Every room was comfortable clean and well decorated. The kitchen had every thing you would need and the grill had a back up propane tank. Light switches and kitche. Drawers were well labeled making everthing easy to find. Queit neighbordhood and close the the beach. Highly recommend!

Splendous Stay at Surfscoter

Wonderful home with a great location! Great space, clean, well cared for, with all the accessories needed. We hope to be back to Kiawah next year and Surfscoter will be our first pick. We have come every summer for years, and this is our favorite place we have stayed.

4th July Trip

The location of this rental is fantastic. It is so close to the beach!! However a couple of things were really difficult about the rental. The second bathroom ONLY has a hand held held shower. There was NO hook to keep the shower head up and if you didn’t hold it, it would collapse. Thus showering in this bathroom was NOT enjoyable. The half bathroom has a toilet which is located directly next to the door. This made it very awkward to use. Moreover the beds were very uncomfortable ( mattress) and you may want to bring your own pillows. The kitchen appliances need updating. The freezer even leaked when you opened the door. There was even a note to watch for leaking when the door was open. Also the tv in the sunroom has spots on it when you watched it. The washer and dryer worked but were especially loud!! Lastly the master bath has a very, very high tub. It’s quite unusual and it was difficult to use at times because of the height of it. Overall I think this property needs some TLC…check the vents, they even are chipping. P.S. The property needs more bath towels. I think we were given 5.

Excellent House

This property’s location cannot be beat, you really can’t get closer to the beach entrance unless you rent an oceanfront property. The house was clean and as described. Neighborhood was beautiful. Beds were comfortable, hosts responded immediately with any questions. There were some biting gnats while we sat on the back deck, but that is to be expected with location on lagoon. We saw many birds and two different gators. We loved it and will be coming back!

Great property, great vacation

Our anniversary trip was wonderful. The house was spacious and clean. We loved that it was a block from the beach. There's nothing like walking in the sand and feeling the ocean breeze. We recommend the Kiawah Island restaurants, and we really appreciated the convenience of the Freshfields center which included a grocery. If we're in the Charleston area in the future, we will return to Surfscoter.

Great location!

This house was a very short walk away from the beach, and was quite comfortable. It backs onto a lagoon with alligators, and my one suggestion would be that a gate be installed at the bottom of the stairs off the deck to reduce the chance of a gator wandering on to the deck.

Lovely house with great views! Spacious and comfortable. Private and secluded!

I had the absolute pleasure of spending 4 nights at 86 Surfscoter Lane and would be there right now if my schedule permitted. The house is lovely with comfortable bedrooms that easily accommodated our group: three HS friends meeting for a mini reunion. We enjoyed the deck with pond views, spacious comfortable living room, and wonderful kitchen. The owners have paid attention to detail and comfort without a feeling of fussiness or preciousness. Within the community of homes, old oak trees, shrubs and spanish moss create a feeling of privacy and seclusion. We rode bikes, kayaked, followed porpoises and watched birds, walked to the beach, and could have played golf and tennis if we had had more time. It is a terrific house for a family or a group of friends looking for a special escape to the beach combined with opportunities to immerse in nature.
