Oceanfront Retreat for Two Couples

This property sleeps up to 4 adults (ages 13+) and up to 2 children and/or infants (ages 12 and under).

Imagine waking up to the sound of the ocean just outside your window, stepping onto the balcony with a fresh cup of coffee, and watching the morning light roll across the Atlantic.

The Tidewater is the kind of place where two couples naturally settle into a relaxed coastal rhythm. Mornings begin with coffee and ocean views. Days drift toward long beach walks just steps from the villa. Evenings end on the balcony with a glass of wine and the sound of the waves.

Located only about 100 yards from the beach, Tidewater offers incredibly easy access to the shoreline. In just a minute or two you can be walking along the sand or enjoying the ocean breeze.

Inside, the villa is bright, stylish, and comfortable. The living room opens to an ocean-view deck, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, making it easy to prepare breakfast before heading out or enjoy a simple dinner together.

The layout is especially ideal for couples traveling together. Two king master suites provide comfort and privacy, each with a smart TV and beautifully prepared bedding. The upstairs suite also includes a cozy reading nook with lovely ocean and landscape views. Twin airbeds are available if traveling with children.

Please note that this property does not include access to the Kiawah Island Golf Resort pools.

To help you enjoy your time on the beach, we provide beach towels and a cooler in the property.

Additionally, beach chairs, sun shades, bikes, boogie boards, and baby equipment are also available for rent.

To ensure fairness for all guests, our rates are set using dynamic pricing and are not negotiable. We are unable to offer discounts or adjust rates upon request.

- 2 bedrooms: 2 kings, 2 twin airbeds

Week at the Mariah….

Overall, I’d call this one of the better VRBO options on Kiawah. Perfect location. Steps from the beach which is a MAJOR convenience advantage when packing all of your beach gear to and from. We would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect spot on the beach!

This property has great views of the ocean and was just what we needed. We were close enough to the sand that we could walk on the beach in the mornings, come back for lunch and go out again to sit and watch the waves. The Ocean Course was gorgeous and we enjoyed visiting several on property restaurants as well as surrounding area restaurants, shopping and fresh seafood markets. We hope to visit again next summer!.

Retreat

The space is beautiful, light, comforting, quiet. It is a little bit of a maze to get there and get everything up to the third floor, but once we settled in, we had a very lovely, relaxing, mindful, and peace-filled time.

Perfect!

The stay at this Kiawah villa was perfect. It’s a short walk to the beach with the boardwalk to the beach very close by. The week we were there it was low tide during the day, and the beach was SO wide. The villa was beautifully decorated, VERY clean (and I’m pretty picky about that) with beautiful views of the ocean, especially from the upstairs bedroom. Also, nice touch with flowers, and some lights and music on when we arrived. The kitchen is very well equipped and very organized. We would definitely stay here again!

Mr. and Mrs.

Mariah was everything we hoped for. Its location was wonderful with a fabulous view of the beach and ocean. The apartment was very clean, beautifully furnished and very well equipped, particularly the kitchen, and it was obvious a great deal of thought had been put into its set up. The owners arrived to greet us soon after our arrival and responded very quickly to our one request for help. The resort's proximity to Charleston is an added bonus and we were also able to find and play golf on several nearby courses. We would have no hesitation to recommend this property to friends and family.

Warm and Cozy Villa!

This villa worked out great for our family of 4. Nicely decorated and had all the amenities needed for a weeks stay. Comfortable beds, pillows and bedding. I’m always happy to find some staple spices in the kitchen so I don’t need to run to the store. View of the ocean was wonderful and the villa is situated in a nice central location on the island. The owners are very easy to communicate with and we’re very helpful when answering questions about the property and are very familiar with the island itself. Would definitely stay again.

Great location although in a more crowded beach area on Kiawah. The condo was nice and well stocked

This condo had a nice view but only from upper bedroom. It was well appointed although the king beds were in rooms very tight for the space. The 1st floor room has poor lighting and the beds were too soft , but ok. I do not feel the property is a value at the price compared to other properties we have rented on Kiawah over the past 20 years. I prefer the less populated areas of the beach, hower this would be good for individuals who have access to the Night heron pool and play grounds.
