About this property

Lagoon-front 3 min walk to Beach!

Whether you seek a fun family getaway, friends gathering for tennis or one of Kiawah's 5 fantastic golf courses, or just a quiet place to decamp from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Seas the Day provides easy access to all that tranquil Kiawah Island has to offer. This executive Oceanwoods lagoon-front home is a short 3 minute Walk to West Beach, to Boardwalks 14 & 15 just off beautiful Eugenia! An easy bike ride to The Sanctuary, or the Roy Barth Championship Tennis Center (now featuring pickelball courts for rent), and less than 10 minute drive to the shops & restaurants at Freshfields, this cul de sac location provides both privacy and proximity. The primary suite features a king sized Tempurpedic adjustable bed (split king with individual controllers) and an en suite bathroom. Watch the herons & egrets diving & fish jumping from this sunlit suite. An adjacent Bunk Room features a full over full bunk, an en-suite bathroom & laundry room. The “Front 9” suite has another brand new King BR with lagoon view, plus an adjacent ultra-comfortable Queen BR with shared bathroom. Both of these bedrooms also have new wall-mounted 42” smart TVs. A half bath just inside the front door provides easy access for quick visits from the beach or bike ride, and an outdoor shower is perfect for sandy toes.

Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktails in the lagoon front sun-lit windowed room outfitted with a pair of swivel chairs or grab a quick nap in the twin sized Charleston swing. A grilling porch is steps away from the kitchen, with gas Weber Grille with direct propane connection (no running out of gas!) The upgraded kitchen has high ceilings, stainless steel appliances & gas cooktop, a drip & Keurig coffee maker, blender, and it is well equipped for wining & dining during your stay. The home has a tankless hot water heater, Insteon Hot & Cold filtered water at the kitchen sink, and a brand new refrigerator with ice maker in the freezer. An open living/dining area features a stunning 86” 4K SmartTV for enjoying movies or sports, and the home has Xfinity High speed internet wi-fi for internet & TV apps. Casual dining for 6 at dining table, 3 at bar in the kitchen, and 6 outside on the grilling porch. We have provided 8 folding beach chairs & several beach umbrellas out by the lagoon-facing shower, and 8 Turkish beach towels help lighten your packing load. Fun fact: this home was where the HGTV film crew stayed during the 2013 Dream Home giveaway, and its previous owner is a NASCAR driver.

Kiawah is known for its wildlife, so keep an eye out for the family of deer you may see as the sun comes up, and alligators basking in the sun by the lagoon...

Beautiful home in a great location

This was a great home for a week's vacation with our adult children. The location is perfect - backs to a lagoon and a very short walk to the beach. It was great having beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels included. We loved the huge living room tv for movie nights after long days on the beach and bike paths. The sunroom was such a cozy place to hang out with the amazing swinging couch and comfy chairs. Highly recommend this home.

Happy at Seas the Day

This lovely well appointed home on Kiawah Island was located just a short walk from the beach. The home provided all the room we needed for our family of 5 and then some. The home had all the necessities (chairs, umbrellas, beach toys etc) for a fun day at the beach. In the event of rain, there were lots of games to keep everyone busy! By far one of the nicest homes we have stayed in on Kiawah!

Great house, convenient location, wonderfully outfitted.

The house was great- complete with a very well outfitted kitchen and awesome beach gear provided. It was so nice to come from out of town and not worry about umbrellas, chairs, and even beach towels! The kitchen was well stocked with very few additional needs and the space was great. We had 4 adults and 4 kids between 5 and 9 and didn’t lack fit any space! Colleen was great and checked in on us via email to make sure we didn’t have any needs, and we will certainly be staying here again!

Kiawah Island Family Vacation

We loved our stay at Seas the Day in Kiawah! Colleen, the host, was so helpful and responsive. The house is beautiful, just as described, and has every amenity needed. We enjoyed short walks to the beach, quiet time overlooking the lagoon, and hanging out playing games and cooking at the house. We hope to return one day and would love to stay at Seas the Day again!

Classic Kiawah

What a wonderful property this was, close to the ocean and nestled under some beautiful old growth trees next to a lagoon teeming with wildlife. The kitchen was well stocked and they have a wonderful grill. There is a really nice outdoor area where we gathered after the beach. The unit was quiet and felt private backing up to the lagoon. The owner was especially friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend!

Great visit

There were a lot of great things about this comfortable house but what stood out the most was the thought that was given to the guest experience. Arrival gift, beach chairs, beach towels, well appointed kitchen, first aid supplies in bathrooms, outdoor seating. They really did their best to think of everything that would ensure the guest had a great experience.

Wonderful Cottage

Our family stayed here last year, and our (adult) kids said they really wanted to stay here again this year! We love the location and the beautiful home. We have plenty of space and privacy, and it is so convenient to have beach chairs provided. This will be our first choice again when we are back on the island!!

Amazing week in Kiaway

Number One: the property was exceptionally clean. Floors, bathrooms, bedrooms were all spotless. We loved this property. The location makes it feel like a private oasis. Coffee each morning overlooking the lagoon was a perfect way to start the day. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Plenty of dishes, and cookware. All were in excellent condition. Loved the full size washer and dryer. Outside shower area was awesome when coming back from the beach. It was great to be able to get all the sand rinsed off before coming inside. Sunroom was our favorite room. What a great spot to just relax and enjoy the quiet. We can't wait to come back!!!

Favorably Impressed

Seas the Day was a perfect fit for our family vacation. Good bedrooms, bathrooms, lounging areas, and kitchen very favorably laid out. Be aware MBR has split mattress configuration which didn’t appeal to us. Everyone loved the sun porch and especially the swing! The beds were exceptionally comfortable and linens and towels plentiful, which was a nice perk. Hope to be able to stay again!

Wonderful Stay

We had a wonderful stay at Seas the Day. Colleen was great to work with from booking to checking in. She was great to communicate with and answered every question promptly. The home was perfect and exactly how it's listed. We have stayed in several of the Oceanwoods homes over the years and Seas the Day was the nicest by far. The additional bedroom made it ideal. All of the furnishings were high quality, with nice towels, Turkish beach towels, kitchen supplies, with coffee ready for the first morning. The sun room with the bed swing was a wonderful place for us to sit and have coffee in the morning before going to the beach. All of the furniture was comfortable and the beds were very comfortable. There are many thoughtful touches, like wireless chargers, helpful instructions, hair dryers, plenty of basic supplies, beach towels, beach chairs. This help keep our packing down which is good for over-packers. Overall, this property and owner was fantastic and we hope to stay again very soon!

We were thrilled with our home for the week! Everything was beautiful, and we could not have asked for a nicer place. We loved the proximity to the beach and to Freshfields.

New Great Memories!

We had stayed in Oceanwoods years ago but hadn't recently because three bedrooms was too few for us. Therefore, we were thrilled to find a four bedroom Oceanwoods for rental. It met all of our expectations: near the beach, comfortable accommodations, nicely furnished, well stocked kitchen and a very responsive and helpful owner! After many years of visiting Kiawah, my daughter-in-law said that the cottage is the only place that she'd consider renting again!

About the host

Hosted by Colleen Ludington

Host profile image
We are 2 families with a love of luxury travel. One has been homeowners on Kiawah for 19 years, and the other owns rental properties in in NC and FL. While we are not professional property managers, we have taken great care to curate the home's furnishings, decor & amenities, and to provide you with a comprehensive vacation guide to maximize your fun while on Kiawah. We have outfitted this vacation rental with the amenities we appreciate when we travel including incredibly comfortable beds & pillows, white noise machines, hairdryers, fully stocked kitchen, and beach chairs to lighten your load as you travel.

Why they chose this property

Most Oceanwoods homes are 3/2 properties. This one gives a lot more breathing room at 4/3.5 so perfect for gatherings of family or friends. The close walk to beach, or bike/drive to Freshfields make this home a favorite for our guests. The lagoon-front location feels like Gilligan's Island!

What makes this property unique

This is not your average vacation property. State of the art electronics, upscale decor, and ultra comfortable beds & pillows, well-equipped kitchen, lagoon views... We have stocked it the way we like to vacation & have been blessed with guests who have treated the home like it was their own for the last 3 years. We strive to make your vacation as hassle free as possible.
