Best views of tidal river & Ocean Course, wlk to beach, private dock, Super Home

Totally updated serene decor. 4 porches, 2 porches off bedrooms.

All 4 bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. There is also a half bath off the hall.

You found the place, read the reviews.

Who stays here? Celebrities. An artist seeking inspiration and low country scenes. A couple renewing their vows 25 years latter on our dock. Families celebrating a reunion.

If you are like us, you will be on the screened in porch enjoying stunning view of birds including bald eagles, egrets, great grey herons and dolphins on the tidal Bass Creek. Watching sunrise and sunsets.

Great home for children... On a salt water tidal creek so alligators are normally NOT in the area.

Fully equipped kitchen and large dining room table for dining, comfortable for 8 easily. Seats more. Delonghi coffee maker and a Cuisinart drip. A new gas grill too, on one of the several porches.

Reverse Osmosis filtered drinking water, when you are at the beach, you should drink great water! Fill up your Yeti container.


Very well maintained clean home with lots of space.

Very short walk to the beach. 0.5 mile to Boardwalk 40 entrance. At our end of the island it's a short drive to beach parking too. We are in East Vanderhorst.

We have a Shibumi for you to use.... it's the best!

Available use of exclusive Kiawah Island Club facilities through the host is possible.

Read our reviews here .... they tell a story. Beaver Creek VRBO 507113 as well.

1 king bedroom, 2 queen bedrooms and a room with single beds. ALL have their own bathrooms. 2 bedrooms have their own porch also the Master bath has a Jacuzzi tub and a separate water closet.

New Maytag large washer and a new large Maytag dryer. Kitchen supplies, beach towels and paper products.

A private dock for fishing and crabbing. Really close to the beach.

a recent guest who has visited Kiawah for 18 years wrote "We’re on the road. Fabulous time thanks so much - you have the most beautiful spot on the island!! Appreciate early check in / late check out.... We ended up using your Shibumi thanks - it was WAY too windy for our Neso ... We found everything in great working order in current kitchen but can’t wait to come back and see the remodel!"

Beautiful, quiet marsh view property, well maintained and stocked with everything needed. Great location within walking distance to the beach, and a short drive to the Island’s many amenities. Palmer (the owner) is incredibly responsive and very helpful with advice for what to do, where to shop and good insight on Kiawah’s many features. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful views of wildlife & marsh!

It was one of the best vacations I have had at the beach’. The home was very nice and the screened in porch was so awesome and relaxing. Caught fish at the dock , watched a dolphin eating fish, eagles and so many species of water birds. Loved this place. Palmer was always available, great host! Thank you

Kiawah Getaway

We loved this house in Kiawah. It was on a beautiful Kiawah lane with gorgeous marsh views from the back porch. It is in a very quiet spot and about a 5 minute bike to the beach. The kitchen is fully stocked and has everything you need. The owner answered every question I had without delay. I loved everything about the property and can't wait to return!

Beautiful home, beautiful location

The home was darling. Plenty of space. Great place to relax. I would stay there again for sure. The marsh views and sunrise was incredible. Beach is close and amazing. We rented bikes from the resort and the trails are so fun. Only drawback is that Uber does not provide service on Kiawah island, so plan for a private driver to get you back to the airport.

Excellent Kiawah stay!

Palmer was a responsive and accommodating host and made great recommendations for our family trip. The house was spotless and very comfortable for our group (2 small children and 4 adults). It was stocked with beach essentials, kayaks, fishing gear, kitchen equipment, etc. Everything we needed! We loved the picturesque views, quiet cul-de-sac neighborhood, and convenient location close to the beach, restaurants and golf courses. Club access was a fantastic bonus and Palmer made seamless arrangements for us. 10/10 - we will definitely be back to stay here!

Wonderful Beach Home on Kiawah

Our family had a wonderful beach week at Kiawah. Palmer (the owner) was welcoming and most helpful. He absolutely made sure our stay was the best. No detail was too small or unimportant. Simply stated, Palmer is a nice guy and consummate host. You will never encounter better. The home was spectacular. Well-appointed, no skimping on furniture or accoutrements. The best of the best. Well-equipped kitchen. We are cooks and lacked nothing. The living spaces were comfortable and well laid out. The bedrooms and baths were spot on. Plenty of closets and other storage spaces. Beds were all comfortable. The home is located in a cul-de-sac of sorts. It has a big marsh view which is breathtaking. We spent much time on the screened in porch and out on the owner’s dock. Our kids and a few adults spent much time crabbing and fishing, with great success. We spent lots of time cracking and munching on blue claw crabs on the dock. Really special as were the sunsets. Birds, deer, dolphin and an alligator or two were plentiful. The long view over the marsh is of the ocean course and the ocean itself. Not a long trip to the beautiful beach. We rented chairs and umbrellas, which I highly recommend. When our children were young they learned to ride their bicycles on the hard packed sand at Kiawah. Still beautiful. For years we went to Mingo Point for the weekly Oyster Roast. This year was no exception.
