About this house rental
Take advantage of special beach gear and bike credit! This Kiawah Island vacation rental features 5 bedrooms, a private saltwater pool, large deck, screened porch, and outdoor shower. The home is a short 2-minute bike ride or 5-minute walk to the beach.
The main living space is ideal for large families with comfortable seating, a mounted TV, and access to the back deck. The fully equipped kitchen features granite counters, vast cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, a wine cooler, and 4 barstools for seating around the island. The dining room has a table and chairs that seat 8 and is the perfect place for family meals while on vacation.
On the first floor there is a master bedroom that features a king bed, TV, access to the pool area, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower, his and her sinks, and a large walk-in closet. Also downstairs, is a small room with twin over twin bunks and mounted TV that is right next door to the half bathroom. Upstairs, you will find the remaining 3 bedrooms, all with private bathrooms. The third bedroom features a king bed, TV, and bathroom with 2 sinks and a shower/tub combo. The fourth bedroom features a king bed, TV, and bathroom with a walk-in shower. The fifth and final bedroom features a king bed, 2 twin beds, TV, and bathroom with walk-in shower.
The outdoor space is sure to please with the saltwater pool, large deck, screened porch with table and chairs, TV, and ceiling fan, and an outdoor shower perfect for rinsing off after a trip to the beach! There is also a wooden platform in the backyard by the pond perfect for taking in the view or fishing.
The home is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.
This pool has a gas heater, so the pool may be heated in cooler months for $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.
The dimensions of the pool are about 8.5' W x 15.5' L.
PLEASE NOTE: The new owners have made significant upgrades to the home. Noteworthy highlights include: repainted entire house; new furniture, rugs, and decor throughout; new refrigerator, new bedroom furniture and bedding; new Weber grill; plus supplies and household items are replaced and modernized as needed.
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.
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 $400. You may use your credit for bicycles, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, and more – the choice is yours!

How was not available until 3 hours after check-in; cleaning crew was short staffed so some corners were cut in cleaning process. Sheets were stained and some of the towels provided were spiked. House was well stocked; grill only partially worked but rental company did promptly come out to help address. Bedrooms and overall layout was nice and very functional. Pool was shaded and was very cold.

The house worked well for our family vacation which included five children under four years old. The house was updated and we appreciated the ice machine, two refrigerators, and outdoor shower. It was closer to the beach than we had expected which was a nice surprise. As much as we liked the pool, we were concerned about it as we didn't know how to turn on the filter system and felt the water sat stagnant. The family got sick after the vacation and we wonder if it had to do with the lack of filtration or chlorine.

We stayed at this property in 2020 and it was immaculate and newly renovated/refreshed. It was beautifully furnished and the kitchen was wonderfully appointed. It’s an easy walk or bike to the beach and the small pool was a boon during that pandemic summer. We were so happy, we booked again for the same property this year. A year can make a big difference. The house had not been well-cleaned upon check in; Akers Ellis responded immediately and had cleaners come out the next day to clean the bathrooms, kitchens, etc.. The bedspreads, pillow shams, household rugs, and dining room chairs could all use a good cleaning. The washing machine was so filthy that we actually had to clean it by hand before using it. A number of things weren’t working - busted gas line on the grill, rickety door on the ice maker....To their credit, Akers Ellis was incredibly responsive each time we called...and we called a lot. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will continue our annual summer pilgrimage to Kiawah, however, we definitely won’t rent this house again.

The house was large and well furnished. We had three families staying the week, plenty of room for all the kids and adults. The two refrigerators was a huge bonus and the kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses and cookware. The pool was smaller than expected but was nice for a cool off. The kids loved the outdoor shower. The house was a 5 min bike ride to beach access 30 and 15min ride to night heron. Would rent again !

This home was as described and fit our needs well. The construction next door began at 7am, was very close, noisy and smelled of gasoline fumes which didn't allow our use of the pool and outdoor areas on multiple days.

We had a great time, the house was spacious and clean and had most everything we needed. The only issue was the oven wasn't working properly and we couldn't get the grill to light even though there was a spark, but we called and while they weren't able to help on a Saturday night, they did call us back. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!

Great! Had a small issue with pool heat (think it was pool maintenance co) but finally addressed. The house was in a great location - on pond and short walk to beach. Very clean, well supplied and comfortable. Would definitely rent through Aikers Ellis in future.

We had the best experience from start to finish. We has an issue with our heat and Akers Ellis and the heating and air people came out immediately and could not have been nicer and more willing to get the issue fixed in a hurry. Thank You for that. Bike rental credit was a great add on and bikes were in great condition and very comfortable. We would come back again and hopefully stay in the same house, if not the same house we would rent and recommend from Akers Ellis again!

While we’ve been vacationing at Kiawah together for some time, this was the first year staying in one house. We were accommodated beautifully, the kitchen was so well appointed, and the small pool was the hit if the week! The kitchen hadn’t been cleaned to our satisfaction at check-in so we made a quick call to Akers Ellis and they came within minutes to clean and sanitize the entire area. A quick walk or bike ride to the beach...you can’t go wrong with 174 Glen Abbey!
