About this house rental
As of October 2024, there is a new house being constructed in close proximity. We do not have the project details or timeline, and current rates are reflective of this information.
Take advantage of special beach gear and bike credit! Newly renovated in 2023, this Kiawah Island vacation rental offers a fabulous outdoor living space with a pool, spa, and summer kitchen, views through the cedars to Kildeer Pond, and elegant details throughout the interior. The home is a 10-minute bike ride to the beach and is adjacent to a winding nature trail.
Please note, this home will have a newly renovated kitchen, pantry and laundry room, and primary bathroom for 2025. Images will be updated when available.
Step into this fabulously renovated home and you will immediately be impressed. To your left, you will find an inviting den with polished wood paneling, a TV, and comfortable seating. To your right, there is another living area with a TV and an L-shaped sofa. The main living area is straight ahead. This space offers a large sectional sofa and TV, has large, glass sliding doors that lead out to the pool deck, and is open to the kitchen and dining area.
The gourmet kitchen showcases granite counters, a large island, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, an under-cabinet wine cooler, a Wolf range, and a Thermador oven and microwave. The roomy pantry and laundry room are adjacent to the kitchen. The laundry area has an extra dishwasher for your convenience. A powder room is also found on this level.
The primary bedroom is located on the main floor and offers a king-sized bed and a large private bathroom with two vanities, a shower, and a soaking tub. Upstairs, you will find the remaining four bedrooms, each with TVs and attached bathrooms with walk-in showers. Three of the bedrooms have king-sized beds and one bedroom has two twin beds.
Upstairs you will also find yet another living area, which is complete with a coffee bar, an additional full bathroom, a second-story deck, and a custom kid’s area.
The home’s outdoor space is one-of-a-kind. Complete with a large pool, spa, plenty of lounge seating, a true outdoor kitchen, and peeks of Kildeer Pond, you may never want to leave. The pool deck also features a cabana with a full bathroom.
Other highlights include an elevator, Sonos speakers throughout, a foosball table, and a Ping Pong table.
The home is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.
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, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and more – the choice is yours!
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.
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 spa can be heated for an additional $75/per day.
RESERVATION PROCESS: Your reservation is not confirmed until you return the Akers Ellis Rental Agreement. This document will be sent to you via email within a few hours of making your reservation. You need to review and electronically fill out, sign, and submit the agreement within 24 hours. Once returned, Akers Ellis will collect payment and send you a reservation confirmation via email.

Beautiful house. Would be helpful to have a more in depth description about elevator and operating instructions outside the elevator

As advertised, amazing home in a great location with all the amenities. Heated pool was wonderful for the kiddos. Overall a gorgeous property and we will be back!!

The pool/spa felt like our own private lagoon surrounded by palm trees, enjoyed watching for birds (bald eagle, osprey, more). Pool was so great that the group often preferred to hang out all day there, rather than the beach/resort activities. Grilled & set up a spread in the pool cabana (loved the ice machine). A very nice full bath in the cabana reduced load on the baths inside the home. Enjoyed outdoor wireless speakers that sync’d to our phone playlists. Elevator operational & a necessity due to one in our party with an injury - also helpful loading/unloading luggage. Lots of space everywhere & all ages enjoyed ping-pong and foosball in the basement. Extra fridge in basement, extra fridge drawers in kitchen. Large living room TV, & the upstairs balcony came to be known as ‘the perch’ among the male adults where they retreated for late-night guy time. Could fit all bikes, gear, vehicles in garage...a large truck, SUV and sedan. Only once we asked for maintenance attention, & it was handled quickly. The things that prevented us from giving 5 stars...the outside is in need of a power wash (webs/dirt) and replacement of some fascia that is beginning to rot. There are light bulbs out in many rooms, including laundry & main bath. The lights in the shallow end of pool & in the spa do not work (the lights in deep end worked). Cabana fan doesn’t work. Knob in cabana shower kept falling off. House was generally clean, but main level bedroom had what appeared to be fur balls and stains in the rug. We are used to ample bathroom towels/washcloths at this price point, but it seemed most had only one set per person. The kitchen sink faucet needs to be replaced. Things that would have been nice to have, but didn’t affect our rating...it would be nice to have table/chairs added to the screen porch & deck to dine al fresco. It would be nice to have a filtered water dispenser, as the sink water is unpalatable & we made repeated trips to pick up bottled water. There were a few pool towels provided in the laundry room, but would’ve been nice to have more, as we were constantly drying or looking for towels. Suggest notes on elevator quirks: sometimes slow be patient, all doors on shaft must be fully closed/latched, what to do if carriage light times out, etc. Lovely location: trails, docks, & expansive bridge over the marsh...a marsh tower nearby. Though possible to bike to beach, must drive for less mobile guests. Overall, a beautiful home & we would stay again!

Reviewer Comments:
I have rented many different houses on Kiawah over the years and I would call this house "decent." It would benefit from a good sweep of the place with an eye to organization and TLC. The gutters leak outside and some of the furnishings definitely appear to be hand-me-downs while others are higher end & in better shape. They need to add some additional bedding for winter guests as several of us were a bit cold at night under only a light coverlet. All pillows and mattresses should be in zippered cases for better hygiene. The kitchen has a poor layout and is extremely disorganized but we felt it had most everything you would need. We love the Preserve area but this house's view is nothing special. The use of the elevator was a plus--especialy for an elderly family member. Beach gear credit was nice and we enjoyed the rental bikes. We paid the extra to heat the hot tub and that was a definite plus. The pool is beautiful and big and would be a great feature in the summer. Parents need beware that the safety fence/rail does not extend along the back edge, below which is a 15-20 foot drop. There are many gorgeous homes on Kiawah to rent. This house is billed as a 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home and it's technically true. However, what is not made clear and what is very poorly illustrated is the fact that one of the full baths is OUTSIDE in the pool house. This bath is not heated/cooled and is therefore pretty much unusable during cooler months. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms all sharing one very small hall bath. This was a bit of a challenge for our group of 4 adult couples and 3 children. Might work well for a different sort of group but definitely awkward for unrelated adults to share a bathroom. We feel that should be front and center in the description of the home--and likely it should be discounted in terms of rent, as well.

Our family has been coming to Kiawah for many years now. I have personally been coming for almost 40 years and this is the first time I have stayed on this part of the island. We loved Preserve and biking around the marshes and seeing all the beautiful wildlife. The house was great for our family. We loved the pool and spa. We cooked at the house a few nights and had what we needed. I would describe the kitchen as the best stocked kitchen but wasn’t the worst. My kids loved the ping pong table in the garage. The bike ride to the beach was about 5 minutes. We would definitely consider staying at 113 Blue Heron again.

The house was perfect for our long weekend. Plenty of space for getting together as well as room to spread out and relax. Many commented on how clean it was. If we had to complain about anything it would be there is the minimum available in terms of cooking/backing supplies. Plenty of pots and pans but not a large cookie sheet or pizza pan for pizza. Also not enough coffee mugs for the number of beds. (Hardly a complaint but depending on how your group likes to travel you might want to know in advance.)

This was a great property. House as advertised. Best part is the privacy. If looking to get away, not have to see other people, highly recommend.

Staying here was a dream! Anytime we had even a minor issue the rental company was quick to respond and even send someone over (literally within 20 minutes sometimes). The home is stunning and well furnished. We particularly enjoyed the ping pong table and hot tub. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others!

113 Blue Heron is a nice home. The pool is huge and hot tub is nice. The home is in need of a good deep cleaning. The outdoor area needs to be power washed. The back deck, windows and front porch are all dirty and covered with bugs, spider webs and pine needs. The couch cushions in the screened in porch is extremely dirty. The interior of the home is nice. Both king beds and all bed pillows need to be replaced. The kitchen and baths are all in good shape.

House was great although the pictures on the website presented a much different home than when we arrived. All of the art was removed from the walls, and the furniture was scarce and not at all what was shown when booking the home. There were no chairs in the family room so we had to pull dining room chairs in to sit in.

We arrived at Blueheron simply wanting to enjoy this weekend and especially the back yard. The chairs were broken, unusable and needed to be replaced. The screened porch was so filthy they needed to send a power washer over making it unusable for two days. The kitchen was in complete disorder and needed organizing just to be able to make a simple meal. Towels were old and paper supplies limited. This house could be great. It is for sale but should be pulled from this program if the owners are not willing to do simple upkeep. Half of our time there was wasted unnecessarily. I’ve tried to communicate several times with no success. Such a shame!

The house is nice, spacious, and very private. The pool, hot tub, and view are the best features. On the downside, the kitchen is not as well appointed as other houses that we have stayed in and the house wasn’t as clean as we would expect. The beach gear credit is a big plus and VayK Gear was very easy to work with. Overall it was another great week in Kiawah.

Overall stay was pleasant. Akers Ellis very easy to deal with and very responsive. The property was in a great location and had many walking paths and outdoor activities near it. The home itself was well sized and accommodated our family nicely. I wish there were more amenities included in the house, especially in the kitchen.

We have rented the same property from AKERS ELLIS for several yrs during Christmas. We will continue to rent from them forever & ever. Our family has grown from parents with 2 children, parents with two married children, now parents with grandchildren. All 3 generations can’t imagine the holidays without renting this home on Kiawah Island from Akers Ellis.
