About this cottage rental
Come find rest and relaxation at our cozy cottage on Kiawah Island. Enjoy the breeze and the sound of crashing waves from our deck. Watch for wildlife from our screened porch as the tide ebbs and flows in the inlet behind the cottage. Our cottage, located in the gated Inlet Cove community, is perfect for family gatherings with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and plenty of room for fun both indoors and out. Inlet Cove is a special neighborhood on Kiawah Island, with its own private pool (available seasonally) and dock on the Kiawah River available only to residents and guests staying at Inlet Cove. Bring your kayak or paddle board – or rent one when you get here – and launch it from the dock just a short walk from the cottage. The dock is also great for crabbing or fishing, and is a fantastic place to enjoy the sunsets over the river (no boats please). Watching the dolphins play and feed along the riverbank is a don’t-miss event! Walk – or ride your bike – and enjoy the miles and miles of gorgeous beach found on Kiawah, or explore the island, with its unsurpassed river, ocean and marsh views, via the extensive network of bicycle trails. You can also enjoy the views from our lower deck while cooking dinner on the grill, or just relax in one of the rocking chairs or the hammock.
Our cottage is centrally located within Inlet Cove between the community pool and the beach. A leisurely trail also connects our neighborhood to the General Store and Freshfields Village! If golf and tennis are your passions, you’ve come to the perfect vacation spot – Kiawah has 5 championship golf courses. The famous Ocean Course was Host to the 1991 Ryder Cup, the 2007 Senior PGA Championship and the 2012/2021 PGA Championship. Kiawah has also been ranked as the #1 tennis resort in the world. Both clay and hard courts are available, along with fully stocked pro shops. In addition, Kiawah is home to a lovely spa at The Sanctuary and a wonderful children’s camp (Kamp Kiawah) offering activities and adventures throughout the year. There is something for everyone at Kiawah!
The cottage includes a fully equipped and newly renovated kitchen with seating for 3 at the island. We have a gas range - perfect for those who love to cook, and a tankless hot water heater, so no running out of hot water when everyone takes a shower after a day at the beach! In addition, the large open dining-living area includes a dining room table that seats up to 8 as well as plenty of space for lounging in the living room and the adjacent screened porch. The master bedroom has a king size Tempurpedic bed and connects directly to the master bathroom. The second bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the third bedroom, which has two extra-long twins. Both bathrooms are newly renovated, as well. There is a sofa sleeper in the living room as well as a 50 inch flat screen TV and Blu-ray/DVD player and there are flat screen TVs in the master and queen bedrooms, as well. We also have wireless high-speed internet if you just have to stay connected.
If you’d like to explore off-island, Charleston, with its southern charm, plantations and history, is only 20 miles away. Charleston’s attractions include world-class restaurants, a beautiful historic district, an outstanding aquarium, a Children's Museum, Ft. Sumter, harbor cruises, the WWII-era aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, carriage tours, and much more. The Charleston City Market is a great shopping adventure where you can observe ladies making and selling sweetgrass baskets – the perfect souvenir for your lowcountry vacation!
Local Property Management staff is on hand in case of emergencies and their friendly, helpful, and and knowledgeable staff can assist you with any needs throughout your stay.
Stays of 3 to 21 nights come with a up to $210 (amount dependent on length of stay) credit to use towards beach gear rentals! 48 hr notice required.

This house was absolutely lovely. Everything was extremely clean, the kitchen was well appointed with tools and appliances, and the layout of the home was perfect. There is a balcony off the back of the home that has a screened porch and balcony off the primary bedroom that overlook a river. While the house was awesome, my favorite part was the neighborhood itself. Lovely shaded pathways and the beach was just around the corner. The community has a pool and a dock for fishing and kayaking as well. I had several questions for the rental company while we were there and they were always extremely responsive and easy to work with. Shopping in Freshfields was super nice (full grocery store, drugstore, etc) and Charleston was only a 40 min drive. The beach itself was awesome too. Super clean, not crowded at all. Great stay!

We stayed a year ago in the same cottage and loved it so much we returned this year. It was just as wonderful!! Beautiful kitchen with gas stove, beautiful bathrooms and extremely comfortable master bedroom. We had to call maintenance to fix the handle on the screened in porch and he came within 30 minutes and fixed it perfectly !!! He was extremely professional and competent !! We love staying at Inlet Cove to enjoy the river and private dock for fishing, private swimming pool and close bike ride to the beach. This is a perfect location and beautiful cottage.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Very clean and comfortable. Excellent location to stay for the marathon.
Just 2 things to note, the toilet in the adjoining restroom runs unless you jiggle the handle or float. And the HDMI was missing from the king bed room's TV.
Neither of those two things impacted our stay. Everything was wonderful and we'd definitely stay again!

Second time staying here, location and house are great. A couple things - When we stayed here last year, we reported the hood range wasn't working. Came again this year, still broken. Gas can be dangerous to cook with without ventilation. Front step lights weren't working again either, definitely a fall hazard, very dark here at night. Some cabinets broken and need repair. Pots/pans could also definitely use updating. Otherwise good stay and 5 stars if attention to detail was there.

We just returned from an amazing week and loved the private location in Inlet Cove. The kitchen is perfection!! Everything is clean and neat. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch at night with the ceiling fan and lights- you could hear the sounds of the tides coming in the waterway behind the cottage. Loved the herons and egrets that visited the waterway!!

Good, but not great. This cottage is due for a little tlc.
We stay in Inlet Cove every year, and many friends do to, so we’ve seen just about everything there is to offer. We have been in this cottage many times in the past and always considered it one of the better ones, however this year it was obvious that it’s time for a few repairs and updates. The overall style and the updates that were prev. done to the kitchen are good, and we would stay here again, however we won’t jump at the opportunity. A few suggestions: put a handle on the exterior of the sunroom door (very difficult to use), add better lighting to master shower area (very dark), repair/clean all the grout (the grout looks terrible), replace/clean the furniture (living room furniture was stained bad). Positive notes: great central location, decent view, good kitchen, good grill, nice ground level deck.

We have been visiting Kiawah since 1994 and we always stay at Inlet Cove. We have stayed at several other units but 74 inlet cove has become our go to unit, especially since ESPM took over management. This was the third time staying at this unit, second time renting through ESPM. ESPM was a notch above the previous property manager. The unit was very clean and has an extremely well equipped kitchen. We look forward to returning next year. ESPM was always quick to respond to any inquiries we had.

What a great place to stay. We had never stayed outside the gate on Kiawah despite vacationing there on-and-off for over 30 years. This place had everything we needed and a beautiful kitchen. It was perfect for our 6 guests (4 adults and 2 kids). It's a short walk/bike ride to the beach.

This was our first visit to Kiawah, and we loved staying at 74 Inlet Cove. The location was perfect! Quick bike ride to Beachwalker Park and easy access to all the Kiawah bike trails. This unit was very well stocked, clean, and beautifully decorated. The only upgrade I would suggest would be a TV definition upgrade - at least during college football season. This property is beautiful, well managed, and in the perfect spot. We 100% recommend!

Hidden Gem
This place really exceeded our expectations - Has it all - Gated community, great kitchen, bbq, hammock, right on the channel, screened in porch, great internet, very comfortable master bed, spacious and updated, bike rentals were easy and dropped and picked up for us. Grocery store less than 10 min drive, beach was a 5 min bike ride, pool just a few minute bike ride, even a dock you can dolphin watch and fish/crab from. If this place is available in the future, there is no doubt we will return.

Relaxing Getaway
This property was exactly as described, beautiful and comfortable. It was a bonus that it was only a short walk or bike ride to the beach! We enjoyed the screened in porch which was perfect for relaxing after a long day at the beach. We highly recommend renting beach gear from Vay K Gear! The rental company had our gear delivered before we arrived. Overall, if you are looking for a relaxing getaway, this is a great spot! I would also like to add the experience was simple and hassle free with both the property management company and the rental company. Thank you!

Clean, updated home in a great location!
We loved the house and thought it was very well maintained. The updated kitchen and bathrooms were nice as the house itself was older but it didn’t feel dated. We had plenty of space in the kitchen to hang out and eat together. We took advantage of the rental credit and rented bikes to ride up to Freshfields for a few groceries and some lunch. The screened in porch and hammock down underneath the house were fantastic for relaxing. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely rent this house again.

Property was great and as described and the checkin process was simple.Pluses include access to biking and walking trails with plenty to see along the way including a short walk/ride to the beach. Area was peaceful/quiet and the included amenities were more than adequate. The only negatives were being surprised by the landscaping crew on the back deck connected to the master bedroom while trying to sleep in; needless to say we were wide awake for the day after that. The checkout process was a little rushed (having to depart by 10am) and the added fee for the "relaxed" checkout was a bit steep since we only wanted an extra hour or so and not most of the day.All and all its a great location we plan to save for future stays.
