Beautiful home on a gorgeous island
The home is beautiful and well equipped. The only negative was the check in process because the code we were provided did not work to access the home. Once we reached someone and got a new code, all went smoothly. Great property!

Terrific location!
We LOVED our stay at this home. It was the first time to Kiawah for most of our family and we felt like picked the perfect home. It's so easy to get to the beach - just a short walk or bike ride away - over a beautiful little path with a bridge. We rode our bikes everywhere. And we saw so much wildlife, including baby alligators. We had a great dinner at the Salty Dog by the marina, and loved getting ice cream and looking at the boats. The house had everything we needed. The beds were so comfortable and the master shower/bath is gorgeous. By far my favorite thing was relaxing on the screened porch. It feels so private and was the perfect spot for coffee and a book. We would love to come back and stay at this same home. Thank you for hosting us!

Perfectly Peaceful
Location was secluded and peaceful. Spent lots of time on the deck and screened patio enjoying the nature all around. Alligators spent their days sunbathing on the shore in the back yard. Fish were jumping out of the water behind the house. Multiple species of birds were flying around and enjoying the trees and the birdhouse. Several deer walked by the deck. Peaceful and relaxing.
The location is still close enough to Charleston that we drove in every day.
Looking forward to returning. Possibly making this at least an annual trip.
