Peaceful family time, great views, spacious

Location … location … location The proximity to the beach via the private boardwalk was the best feature of this property.

Fantastic location. 1950’s time-capsule. Clean. Owner kind, responsive and organized. Dog friendly. We would rent again.

Property was mostly clean, dead roach in one of the bedrooms. House was hard to find in the dark, the house number wasn’t lit up. Need updated pics and more of them in the listing. The owner was kind and very communicative. The only thing we needed to make us feel safer was a hand rail for the front stairs which we slipped on.

It was the first time that we had stayed oceanfront at Kiawah, so we definitely spent more time on the beach. It was the perfect house for a family, felt like a home away from home!

The house was well-stocked, welcoming, and absolutely immaculate. The owner went out of her way to assist me when, first, I forgot to record the lockbox code...then failed to find the WIFI password (clearly marked in a rental info notebook left in plain sight)...and, worst of all, got my dates mixed up and was prepared to spend another happy night when the cleaning crew showed up!! We will absolutely be back. Next time I'll bring my brain :)

Love the beach access, history of home, and Kiawah writ large. Friendly hosts and appreciated the hospitality

The beach house was a perfect getaway for our family and grandson who had just turned two. The location was so convenient for our family to carry our beach chairs and to return home For lunch. The owner kept in constant contact and was extremely helpful. She had two notebooks that gives helpful information regarding restaurants, things to do while on the island, and local shopping. We will definitely return!!! The house was older but spotless.

This house has the three most important assets of any piece of real estate: location, location, location. The beach is about a 30-second (if that) walk. The house is also squeaky clean, and cozy, and will make you nostalgic for the old-school beach houses with paneling and side porches. Looking forward to another stay!

Quaint, rustic but charming home. We loved our stay!

Quiet, private boardwalk to beach. Older ranch but comfortable and ideal for baby in walker to roll from living room/dining room/kitchen. Screened side porch and fenced side yard very dog friendly.

We had such a wonderful stay at 3 Eugenia!! This home was perfect for my grown children and two grand dogs. We were very thankful to find such a great home on the beach that is pet friendly. We didn't want to leave!! We spent our days at the beach which was only a short walk on the private boardwalk, biking, lounging in the porch enjoying the ocean breezes and listening to the surf, and playing tennis at the top rated Roy Barth Tennis Center which was just a short bike or car ride away. Eugenia is a magical street with its natural and quiet beauty. Kay is an excellent host and her home is well-equipped and very comfortable. She provided all the information we needed to make our stay pleasant and stress free. We're already looking forward to another stay at this cozy, vintage treasure sometime soon! Chris S.

This is the real deal beach house so reminiscent of childhood family trips. Stellar location, cleanliness and appointed with everything you will need. Coffee on the boardwalk sitting area to start the day and cocktails on the porch to close it. Made it perfect. Only wish we had a second week to be at 3 Eugenia. Most grateful for owners kindness.

This home feels like the family cabin but on the beach! Warm, comfortable, inviting. We loved the screened in patio for evening hangs with the family. Private boardwalk to the beach is dreamy. Star gazing on the deck was beautiful. Comfortable beds with window to the ocean, listening to the surf all night. Thank you Kay.

We spent a few months during the winter and really enjoyed ourselves. The cottage transformed me back to my childhood - it is perfect for families with children and pets. The cottage is located right on the beach and is equipped with all you need to enjoy the summer. We especially loved our sunrise walks. Thank you to the owners for their hospitality during our stay.

This spot is all about the location! It’s a modest (well kept) house nestled in a beautiful neighborhood. We stayed for the locale (beachfront! The island itself!) and were not disappointed. We rode our bikes everywhere and absolutely loved the landscape and wildlife. The owner is very responsive and a delight to communicate with. Two thumbs up!!

We loved staying here! The house was quiet and nostalgic for us, and the location was perfect for beach access back-and-forth with young children. We can't wait to stay again!

The house was great right on the beach! Perfect family vacation

We loved everything about this home!!! Location was perfect with easy and direct access to the beach. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed!!! The home owner was also super responsive. We look forward to staying there again in the future!!! Thank you!!!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this oceanfront house. It is like a time jump back into the 1950's as Kay has maintained the house almost exactly as it was in 1955, all maintained almost as new with the necessary modern additions....heat/air, kitchen appliances and laundry. Being able to walk a few steps to your own beach is a luxury. The street it's on is wonderful, with a tunnel of live oaks down it's mile long stretch. We can't wait to visit again!

This property hit the spot. Perfect location, steps from the beach. Your own boardwalk. Functional and relatively new kitchen. Porch with gentle breeze. Pet Friendly! 10 minutes by bike to the world’s best tennis facility. I recommend highly and will likely book several weeks next year.

This is the third time we’ve rented this lovely vintage beachfront home. The setting is beautiful, lots of wildlife, and the gorgeous beach is just a few steps away by a private boardwalk. The screened-in porch is a favorite of ours, as well as the deck in the dunes. The owner, Kay, is wonderful to work with, and we plan to return!

Thank you Kay for another fantastic vacation stay at your home. We love your home and location at Kiawah. The entire family had a great week.

The house was so great and the location was as well. Right on the front beach! The grandkids could run back and forth from the house to the beach. The house was clean and well equipped and had plenty of room for our family of 8. We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing stay! The home smelled clean as we entered, the beds were comfy, the kitchen had everything we needed for home cooking meals. The porch was a relaxing cool spot when we needed a break from the beach. The location to the bike trails was ideal and was a great way to end our days. We are used to more of an ocean view on our beach vacations but understand the protection the dunes are to this amazing house. Kay - thank you for sharing your home! The details you provide make it an easy stay. We also loved learning this history of it all too!

Everything was as advertised with this oceanfront delightful family cottage. Easy to care for our dogs safely, and everything at the house had instructions/labels to make things obvious. Would definitely rent again!

This is one of the original Kiawah beach houses owned by the same family for generations. They have kept most of its original features. The home is clean, comfortable, and stocked with everything needed for a relaxing stay. The location cannot be beat. Working with the owner, Kay, was a pure pleasure. This beach house takes you back to simpler days on Kiawah.

This cozy rustic home was perfect for my friends and I. Very comfortable and clean. Small kitchen was nicely outfitted with plenty of dishes and dishwasher. All wished we had used the outdoor shower sooner. We didn't realize it had hot water until day before leaving. An enclosure for privacy would be a nice thing to add. A precious gem.

We loved everything about this house, but it may not be for everyone! We loved the vintage counters, wood paneling, salty and sandy porch - it brought us back to how the beach should be! We felt safe and our young kids were at ease! The beds were very comfy!

This is a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay. We loved that it’s on a dead end street. Normally there is so much traffic on ocean front properties that we have stayed at. It has a very private yard considering it’s location as well. We will definitely be returning at some point.

Having visited Kiawah for over 30 years, this was our first stay at this historic Kiawah Island home. The private boardwalk and the screened-in porch offered relaxing and peaceful sounds of the ocean. This home provided everything we needed for a great family vacation.

The location is fantastic, right on west beach. The property is dog friendly with a small fenced in area. Many of the amenities are old and worn, for example sheets were thread bare with no elastic in the fitted sheats.. There were no spare sets but upon request the owner did provide a replacement. Many of the towels were worn with holes. Many of the older original windows in front of the house do not lock, "vintage" counter tops are very tired and kitchen drawers were difficult to open and close as were some doors in the house. While the location is excellent the abundance of small issues like those mentioned left us with a disappointing experince.
