Being an owner myself of a property on Kiawah Island, I can attest that everything was quite frankly beautiful. The accommodations were excellent and the property owners could not have been more helpful and an absolute pleasure to deal with. You certainly have a little piece of paradise.

The location was perfect. An easy ride to the beach by bike. The condo was clean and provided a nice stay for us.

We had an amazing time during our stay at Kathleen's in Kiawah. We had a bit of an issue on arrival with the cleaners not having been there before we came, but Kathleen was very responsive, apologetic and quick to rectify the issue. These things happen so we appreciated her gracious and helpful response! Otherwise the place was in an amazing location, we loved sitting out on the back porch and we had a lovely time staying there with everything we needed. We were travelling with our 8 month old baby and it was the perfect spot for our little family getaway.

This was a wonderful villa to rent to stay onsite for the Kiawah Marathon weekend. So quiet and beautiful.

Had a wonderful first visit to Kiawah! The condo was perfect for our family of four and the location couldn’t be better. We had an easy bike to Night Heron park and to the beach. The owner, Kathleen, set us up with all the important instructions and provided great recommendation to a bike rental company. Communication was so timely and helpful! Kiawah is truly a magical place and we can’t wait to come back!

My family really enjoyed our stay while in Kiawah. The villa was beautifully decorated and really felt like home. It was equipped with everything you could need. I’ve stayed in a number of properties on Kiawah and this was my favorite by far! We will be back!

We have been coming to Kiawah for years, but this was our favorite property ever! It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. It feels like a home, not just a rental property. The outside space was the best, with a deck for viewing alligators and birds, and a screened-in porch that works even on rainy days. Our hosts were easy to reach and always responsive. We hated to leave, but look forward to returning next year.

The Leahy’s condo is light, bright, clean and very comfortable. Everything is as described. When eating in, we found everything we needed to create a meal. Tons of dishes and silverware. New dishwasher worked great. Spacious refrigerator with good ice maker! Convenient laundry location for tossing in beach towels right as you come in from the beach or pool. Lots of supplies like paper towel, TP, garbage bags. Plenty of bathing towels and lots of nice extra blankets. Excellent water pressure! We didn’t spend much time in the screen porch or deck because of the 95 degree weather but the living room is nice and spacious. We played family games and watched movies. We traveled to Kiawah with other families staying in nearby condos and we hosted a poker night, big dining table was perfect for the 6 of us! Great location, a short walk to beach or pool (if you have privileges), bike trails in every direction and quick drive to any golf course, restaurant and Fresh Fields. Truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We had some issues getting our parking pass for the week. It seems the fault here was with the KI gate crew, who seemed collectively not at the top of their game. The owner was quick to contact them and it got straightened out.
The condo itself is nice enough, though a bit dated (especially electrical/wiring). It actually isn't that spacious and it lacked comfortable "sprawl" space. Also, not a ceiling fan in any room!
It was puzzling to me that their were two large (6 seats) dining areas (screened deck porch and inside). I can't imagine trying to cook any real meals for two, let alone 6 people, for various reasons.
The kitchen setup really isn't great for meal prep. The stove is old school electric coil and hodgepodge of cookware low quality. There is practically no food storage space. If there was a dish rack stashed somewhere, I didn't find it. If you have to wash anything by hand, you have to towel dry.
The refrigerator has no in-the-door ice/water. My husband says there was an ice maker but it had been levered to "off". There were cube trays, but either way, no convenient access to ice.
The bed was not very supportive or comfortable. The bathrooms were nice enough, with some updates. My husband had to search for the breaker box to find out why the master bath outlet wasn't working to run my hair dryer (resolved).
Misc we would have appreciated:
1) an island map
2) a bike trails map
3) recycling info
4) USB docking/charging station(s), WiFi speaker(s)

This condo had everything we could possibly need. I loved sitting out in the evening looking for wildlife in the lagoon. Short bike ride or walk to a beautiful beach. We hope to come back again soon.
5.0
Great place. A bit of a walk to the beach if you’re carrying beach stuff, so I’d definitely recommend a wagon or cart. Beautiful and calming views from the deck and super nice outdoor dining area. Owner was a pleasure and coming and going was stress free. Highly recommend!

The condo was cute and homey and worked well for our girls weekend. The kitchen was updated and well stocked with cooking gear. The location was in a quiet area overlooking a waterway. I would stay here again.

We had a great time staying in this villa. It is well stocked and very clean. We had no issues at all. We have stayed in many properties over the years and this one is right at the top. When we arrived there was a large alligator sunning itself directly behind the unit. The location is a 5-10 minute walk to the beach and is very quiet. I highly recommend staying here.

A great villa, wonderful location, beautiful deck and screened in eating area. We rented bikes and were quickly at the beach every day. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of our cooking needs. The owners are lovely and made sure we were all set. Thank you Kathleen and Tom!

We come to Kiawah Island just about every summer and typically stay in the West Beach area, but staying here turned out to be a great spot! We enjoyed the close proximity to Night Heron and The Sanctuary Hotel, and the beach was a quick two-minute bike ride away or about a 5-10 minute walk. The villa has a nice screened in outside area with a large dining table as well as a wrap around deck to enjoy the lagoon view. The wildlife on Kiawah never disappoints, and we thoroughly enjoyed eating breakfast each morning in such a peaceful, quiet setting with such a gorgeous view. We'll definitely keep this villa in mind for future visits. Thanks to the owners for answering several questions promptly prior to our trip - they were very helpful.

Fantastic Stay
We rented this unit for the week of July 4th. It was stocked with everything we needed including extra blankets, extra towels, and kitchen items if you wanted to fix a meal. We enjoyed the screened in porch and played cards and listened to music every night out there. The bed was comfortable and unit was nicely decorated. We also enjoyed Mingo Point Oyster roast and The Goonies movie outside on the big screen. Highly recommend!

Incredible villa on a beautiful location
This villa was amazing! Probably the best in our nearly 30 years of visiting Kiawah. It was very clean, extremely well appointed and basically delightful. The Leahy's have made it feel like home away from home. We enjoyed having both the screened in porch as well as a deck. It overlooks a lagoon with lots of wildlife. It is a short walk to Kiawah's beautiful, wide beach. We can't say enough about this great villa!

Nature Preserve
What a thrill to sip coffee on the deck in the morning, and tequila at the end of the day, while watching snowy white ibis, great blue herons, & lurking alligators in the waterway!

Great Place, loved every second
Communication was prompt and all directions and information were outline well in an informative packet they sent to our home before the trip.
The 2BR space was great as we had an extra so someone slept on the pullout sofa and was very comfortable. 5-6 walk to beach. 2min on bike.

Beautiful
This property was so cute and perfect for my family. They had everything we needed in the i kitchen and we loved it. A few details on getting into the property slipped my brain before arriving and the owner was SO quick (like withtin minutes) in getting back to me and it was very appreciated. The whole trip went off without a hitch and we will always hold those memories close!

PGA Championship
Awesome place to stay. Condo was well equipped with nice things and kitchen needed items. Beds were comfortable. A/C worked great. We cooked most meals there because of crowds at tournament. Owner was real responsive with questions we had before checking in. Only draw back was it was on second floor and we brought a lot of stuff for a full week there. Kiawah does not let condo owners have a grill so we missed that. We would definitely like to rent again. It was mid Island so close to everything. The 4 Star Sanctuary is next door if you need a massage or nice meal.

Great condo
Great condo. They had everything we needed in the house plus the bike trails and beach were close by. We got one really nice day and were able to eat lunch on the screened in deck, so that nice.

Great place with a short walk to the beach!
We had a wonderful time at Tom and Kathleen’s place in Kiawah! With a short walk to the beach and access to the bike path, there is plenty to do. Really enjoyed morning coffee and breakfast on the screened in porch area. The place was extremely clean and had all items we needed for our week at the beach. While feeling secluded, it was super convenient to the local market and only a few minutes drive to the Harris Teeter and other shops. Loved the place!

Beach vacation
The property was nice, comfortable and clean. The walk to the beach was a bit far with small children, but we biked it with ease. We enjoyed our stay.

Cozy place close to the beach
This villa comfortably fits a family of 4 or 5. It’s very cozy and feels like home away from home. The beach is a short walk away. The villa is also very close to Heron park, a big bonus for families with kids.

Convenient and pretty location
We enjoyed the views of the lagoon at this villa. We never used the screened-in porch because it was too hot during our stay, but it would be great for outdoor dining during the Spring or Fall. We quickly discovered it was easier to bike to the beach instead of walking. We were lucky enough to see a few dolphins and a baby dolphin on our vacation, as well as plenty of alligators, lizards, herons and egrets. It was a lovely escape in a tranquil setting.
