House is perfect for a multi-family get-together. Close to beach is a must.

This is a wonderful beach house at Kiawah for families! The home is very comfortable and easy. Great sunroom overlooking lagoon and golf course, den, and even another beautiful room for all to spread out to read, play chess( table provided), play music or watch tv. Kitchen is large and has everything you might need. There is a large deck with seating, very relaxing to come back to after a beach day. Plenty of parking and a great covered area to store bikes/ beach chairs. Can’t say enough good things. Owner is very responsive and easy to communicate with. We loved our vacation and would definitely book again.

This is our 10th trip to Kiawah in various parts of the island and we loved the location of this house! It’s a 6 minute walk from the house to the sand and even shorter if you take your bike. We loved the convenience of being able to run back to the house for a snack or lunch or to use the bathroom. It was also just a short drive to Freshfields to grab groceries or shop and a 15 min bike ride to night heron park. They have a new market there with some grocery items and counter service and a huge wrap around porch with tables and rocking chairs! The house is a great size for 2 families. We had 4 adults and 4 teens/young adults. There was ample space to spread out with 3 living rooms and a large kitchen. Our favorite space was a sunroom in the middle of downstairs that overlooked the water. The deck on the back was nice too. It was a little chillier than normal so we didn’t use it a ton but enjoyed it on the sunny days! Plenty of parking, large garage and also a carport to hold all your beach gear. Also plenty of beach towels and beach chairs to use. Trash cans were located in an easy to access spot too right next to the garage. Andy, the property owner, was friendly and quick to answer questions and solve any problems we had. We had a great week!!!

Our second stay in this spacious house for 9 or 10 people . As longtime Kiawah renters, we especially appreciated: -- well-planned bedroom/bath layout, comfy beds; --large, exceptionally well-equipped kitchen (although a little disorganized) and adjacent laundry room; -- wonderful large dining table with 10 upholstered chairs; --nice, varied assortment of books and puzzles; -- attractive outdoor deck with great views of lagoon and golf course; plentiful parking spaces, very short walk to beach; and --Nice owner who responded quickly to any queries. Disappointments included; --Maintenance issues, especially with ceiling mold (1 bath, large upstairs hall area); minor needed repairs (e.g., some lamps wiith non-functioning on/off switches, one with broken shade; also difficulty turning on light attached to ceiling fan in queen bedroom). Also, we would have appreciated better written onsite information about tv/cable setup and operation. Overall, though, one of our favorite Kiawah rentals. --

This was the a great place for a large family. It was an excellent space to be together, but not on top of each other. The walk to the beach was quick and easy, too. I did have to reach out to the owner the day of check-in to obtain info on island access as well as key lock code. The furnishings and general condition of the house was a bit shabby, but my only true complaint was the cleanliness. There was dog hair on all the floors/rugs and furniture, the sheets were stained and there was a large amount of black mold on the upstairs ceiling which is concerning.

The listing is not joking when it says the house is 150 yds from the beach - it was extremely convenient to the beautiful Kiawah Island beach. The house was spacious (three living areas!), perfect for the ten of us (grandparents, parents, children 3, 4, 5, 6 years). Andy was extremely responsive when I texted and fixed the grill problem as soon as he could.

This home had lots of space for our extended family. The kitchen had everything we needed. Prime location close to the beach. Would love to go back.

This is a wonderful large vacation property, especially well suited for a group of families. The house is within close and easy walking distance to the beach and also close to the Kiawah entrance making it easily accessible for trips off the island. The house was clean and well-maintained and is accurately described on the website. The neighborhood is quiet. Owner was very helpful and quickly responded to my many questions, which I had mainly as this was our first time at that property. We fully expect to return.

This Kiawah vacation home, a short walk to the beach, exceeded all our expectations. 2 grandparents, 4 young parents, 2 toddlers and one infant had more than enough space to spread out and relax. The large kitchen was generously equipped with every kind of cookware, and dining supplies . We even had a choice of three different venues to choose from for our meals. The 5 bedrooms were well furnished. The house comes with ample towels for the 6 bathrooms as well as for the beach! Beach chaired were also available. We grilled one evening on the spacious deck overlooking the lagoon and golf course and just enjoyed that exquisite view. The laundry room with jumbo size washer and dryer was put to very good use with all our activities and little ones but the feature we most enjoyed was the outdoor cedar shower! What a treat! We would definitely plan to stay here again!

The property was as advertised and just right for the 12 of us. Close, easy walk to the beach.

The home is large and has many different spaces to enjoy on the main level which was great for our family. My Dad could watch the news in the family room while my daughter was reading in the sunroom and my son and his girlfriend were doing a puzzle in the living room! We loved being able to look out at the pond and see the flying fish and one day an alligator crawled out and up onto the grass right behind the house. The kitchen is large and has everything you could ever want and more. The owner provides beach towels and there were lots of beach chairs which was much appreciated. My reason for giving three stars was mainly because of the sleeping areas. The carpets on the steps and all but one bedroom are worn, stained and buckled and need to be replaced. Walls and moldings are all marked up and need a fresh coat of paint. Bathrooms were not cleaned thoroughly and had used toothbrushes in the toothbrush holders. The cleaning crew was still cleaning when we arrived at 4:45 so I think maybe they got there late and felt rushed. The house did smell like disinfectant and there was laundry sanitizer which was good to see! The owner was excellent to deal with and was very prompt whenever I had a question. He even allowed my son to exchange a book for one that he had started while we were there! Overall this is a great house that just needs some updating to the upstairs and the master bedroom on the first floor.

Great house, fun trip! We will be back

Wonderful stay. Had everything we needed. Was perfect for our multi-family vacation. Plenty of gathering room. Short and easy walk to the beach. Communication was prompt and always helpful.

House was very nice, clean, and a great location just a block from the beach. Well maintained with all the amenities of home. We stayed with 3 families, 6 adults 5 kids with plenty of room to spare. Any questions or concerns I had were answered right away by our host Andy, he was very accommodating. Great vacation I highly recommend this house.

We've stayed here several times and have no complaints about the house. Great house. Great location. You won't regret staying here.

My extended family stayed here during our annual family beach reunion. This is the second year we have rented this particular home and it has been the perfect place for us. Lots of space for everyone and very nicely appointed. Light and airy with large windows overlooking the lagoon. Great location; very easy walk to the beach. Would definitely recommend.

We loved everything about this home and our visit to Kiawah. The owner was very responsive and helpful with any questions we had. The home was spacious, well-equipped, close to the beach, and in excellent condition.

Perfect space for a large family. 4 Upstairs bedrooms, one downstairs bedroom that my 82 yo mom stayed in. Three living spaces downstairs allowed 3 generations to be doing different activities. We had a small problem with one of the appliances and Andy the owner had someone out within an hour or 2 to fix it. Great experience

We used this property for our extended family and it was perfect for them. The house is open with lots of natural light and has a wonderful view of the lagoon. The kitchen is large and well equipped. The house is easily accessible to the beach. We would definitely rent again!

Great floor plan and very well stocked. All you will need for a large family gathering!

Great location. Andy was very responsive to our questions, concerns. Beautiful home. Close to beach. Not so close to pool. Could have used updated information o On good restaurants in area.

Seven of us (five adults, two young children) stayed at 78 Bittern for one week. This is a perfect house for a group - we all had plenty of living space (three sitting areas, plus the large deck - all kid-friendly), plenty of bathrooms, the kitchen is large enough to hold multiple cooks (lots of counter space) and is well stocked with utensils, baking sheets/bowls, lots of plates, glasses, flatware. Very short walk to the beach. Very handy outdoor shower and foot-rinse at the back door. We opted to add the resort privileges, which gave us access to the Night Heron and West Beach pools, which the kids absolutely loved. Easy bike ride to both pools. Nice view of lagoon and a green for one of the Cougar Point Golf Course holes. Freshfields Center, with grocery store and lots of shops is a five minute drive (or 15 min bike ride). By the way, the grocery store (a Harris-Teeter store) is very well stocked and good prices so we didn't need to even leave the island to go to other grocery stores. Andy (owner) was very responsive and easy to work with. We definitely recommend this very comfortable, convenient house for a group.

This is a very spacious and well maintained house close to the beach, well stocked with towels and beach chairs. My family (grandparents + 4 adults and 4 kids) stayed here for a week, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Andy, the owner, was also incredibly accommodating and responsive to all of our questions/requests.

My husband, son-in-law, two daughters and three grandchildren(6, 8, 10) and I spent a week at 78 Bittern at the end of May. The rooms were spacious, especially the kitchen. We prepared many meals and were happy to find every kitchen tool needed, especially the Keurig Coffee Maker. We loved sitting on the deck, relaxing and enjoying the lagoon view and the golf course view. Our 3 grandchildren enjoyed riding their bikes in the circle around the big tree in the middle of the driveway. We especially appreciated the many beach towels and beach chairs that were available for us. The kids liked looking through the game and puzzle cupboard. We played with some of those on the one rainy day that we had. The cedar shower was a welcome place to remove the sand after time at the beach. We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation and made lots of good memories. Thank you Andy for providing this beautiful home. Marilyn

We had a quick family vacation here last weekend. This house worked very well for us. We had plenty of beds and bathrooms for our ten adults and four children. As noted in other reviews, the living spaces and large dining room table were perfect for a large group. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking gear. The location makes it easy to come and go from the beach. We had a great visit and will stay here again when we come to Kiawah!
