Not sure there are enough words to express how special this home AND location are. The home is STUNNING. The space for everyone is fantastic. The screened in porch was wonderful. The kitchen has EVERYTHING you need and more! The beds were very comfortable. If you are debating heating the pool, just do it. It is VERY cold, if left unheated, as it is shaded. Some may love that, but it wasn’t extremely hot the week we were there and the pool was definitely too cold for our group. The bike rental and bike rides to the beach were so pleasant and fun. Renting chairs and umbrellas to be delivered to the beach is definitely the way to go! This was the best trip our family has ever taken, and a huge part of that was how incredible this location was.

We extended our stay at this lovely home that includes a screened back porch situated next to a small, wooded area which leads to a pond and in the near distance, a golf course. The porch extends across the back of the house so multiple guests can take advantage of the view. Kiawah has a few restaurant options, but if you're staying for more than a few days, you'll likely want to cook at home. This kitchen makes that easy because it is well-stocked with cooking and baking tools (not always the case in rentals). The main sitting area in the house had multiple, comfortable seating options. I'd stay here again.

Great house, quiet neighborhood. Six minutes from the beach, about ten minutes from the Ocean Course.

The kitchen was a cook's dream and had every appliance and tool you could need for a gourmet meal. It would be helpful to have instructions for the cable TV system, the thermostat, the alarms for the patio doors and they are not intuitive to use. We would definitely rent this place again!
