The Premier Kiawah Location
Located behind Kiawah’s second set of security gates, the home is at the end of a secluded street with minimal traffic and offering equal convenience of access to Bass Creek and the Atlantic Ocean. A private deep-water dock with kayak offers water access for fishing, boating, or charter pickups. Just steps away is Kiawah’s famous 10-mile beach, accessed on a boardwalk past the internationally acclaimed Ocean Course.

A Designer Lowcountry Home
This quintessential Southern home is surrounded by gracious wrap-around porches on three levels and takes full advantage of its enviable waterfront location. The home is a reverse floor plan to take advantage of the view with the main level being on the second floor, guest bedrooms on the first, and the third floor is exclusively for the master suite.

The gourmet kitchen is appointed with top-of-the-line Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a convenient center island and opens to a casual family room. This level is completed by a powder bathroom.

In an ideal configuration offering privacy and seclusion, the owner’s suite is located on the third floor and features a King bed, cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace, two luxurious bathrooms and a private covered balcony with incredible water views.

The first floor is home to four bedrooms, two full bathrooms and laundry. The first waterfront bedroom is outfitted with a King bed and shares a “Jack-and-Jill” bathroom with an adjacent bedroom outfitted with a Queen bed. Another waterfront bedroom offers a Queen bed, en-suite bath and has direct access to the outdoors via a sliding door. The fourth bedroom is configured with four Twin bunk beds and is adjacent to the hall bath. Outside on the first level is an over-sized waterfront porch.

Another great Kiawah vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Kiawah for 35 years now, but this is the first time we used ESPM Rentals, and we were very pleased with their service, both before, and during our stay. The house was spectacular, very comfortable, and well designed. I have always preferred the views of the marsh to ocean views, as the marsh changes throughout the day, and 70 Otter Island has some superb marsh views. The property was clean and well maintained, and was well sited for walks to the beach, bike rides to the Ocean Course, and the general Kiawah experience. The beds were comfortable, the bedrooms well laid out, and the living area and kitchen were in a work very livable. The only caveat would be that older guests may want to ask if they could use the elevator, as the house is on three floors, with steep staircases. The dock on Bass Creek was an added bonus, as was the plunge pool. We can’t wait to return.

70 Otter Stay

While we had a good time, there were a couple of items that could have been better. First, the home wasn't all that clean. (Kitchenware, to bedding to soiled furniture ... not great) Second, the house's layout is a lot of effort. i.e., stairs, stairs & stairs. Not conducive for older folks. On the positive side- Great location, nice pier to the water (saw dolphins, alligators, birds, etc.), nice little plunge pool & certainly large enough for a good-sized family. 4 stars

Beautiful Vacation Home

We had a wonderful first trip to Kiawah with this house as our base. The kitchen is equipped with every cooking pot/pan/tool that you can think of, and there were lots of spices and basic cooking oils available in the cabinets when we checked in. The dock was a perfect place to crab/fish, and as a base for kayaking. And the beach was a nice short bike ride away. Nothing to do with the house, but if you are going to rent bikes, I would recommend Alligator over VayK. Alligator's bikes were far better. The house was lovely in every way!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house and location are perfectly suited for an active Kiawah vacation. A short bike ride to the beach (on the quietest portion of the island, and through the beautiful Ocean Course), and situated on idyllic Bass Creek (for fishing, crabbing, and kayaking). Perfect.

Unbelievable Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is simply amazing. It is located in a quiet area through the second gate and is beautiful. We were so fortunate to stay here and spent many nights sitting in the pool taking in the marsh. The dock was awesome as well and the owner provided fishing gear, crab pots, and kayaks to use. Would highly recommend this house.
