About this property

Unique upscale 3 bdrm, 3 bath Oceanwoods cottage on lagoon; 150 yds from beach.

Welcome to this upscale, casual family cottage in one of America's most acclaimed resorts. 428 Sea Lavender Court is one of few cottages in the Oceanwoods community that has 3 full baths and a den. A recent complete renovation of the 1667 sq. ft. cottage included the installation of a kitchen gas range, a dishwasher, and a tankless gas water heater. The three bathrooms were completely updated in 2022 with beautiful ceramic tile and rimless shower doors. A cobblestone driveway and a path to a storeroom and shower area were added. This is not your typical beach rental! (A professional wide lens camera was used for most of the pictures.)

The cottage exterior has a unique and inviting look and is located on a neighborhood cul-de-sac. The kitchen, open to the living/dining area, has stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a bar with stools. Two small rooms on the front of the house include a dayroom with a sunny window seat and a separate laundry room with sink. The living area, opening to the screened porch, has a sofa/chaise lounge (from a Kiawah show house), two Sam Moore chairs and a 55” flat screen smart TV. The main ensuite and guest suite with private bath have comfortable queen-sized beds, chairs for reading or conversation, and upscale bedding. The third bedroom has custom-built bunk beds and a single platform bed with stylish bedding suitable for children or adults. All rooms except kitchen, laundry room and baths have ceiling fans.

Located on a peaceful lagoon 150 yards from Kiawah's 10-mile pristine beach, the cottage invites rest and relaxation. The walk to the beach is on a paved, shaded path that begins outside the cottage driveway. Our stretch of the beach, situated just west of the Night Heron condos and the 5-Star Sanctuary Hotel, remains uncrowded, inviting volleyball, bocci ball and other beach games. You also will want to spend time on the cottage's secluded, screened porch (with durable Brown Jordan furniture) from which you will look down the large lagoon and perhaps spot alligators, deer, bobcats, foxes, herons and abundant other species of birds. A charcoal grill facilitates a cook-out at any time. Wifi and four TVs (one for video games) are provided for additional enjoyment.

Four unisex bicycles are available for use on the island's 30 mile bike trails. Night Heron Park (The Nest restaurant, Nature Center, children's playground, basketball court, and more) is a 10 minute walk or a very short bike ride away. The island's shops, restaurants, and tennis and golf courses are within easy biking or driving distance. Freshfields shopping area is just outside the entrance to Kiawah and offers boutiques, gift shops, restaurants and an excellent grocery store. Superb restaurants are on the island and at nearby Bohicket Marina. Charleston, America’s top tourist destination with world class restaurants, is only 40 minutes away! If you come once, you will return! (NOTE: NO POOL FACILITIES ARE AVAILABLE WITH THIS RENTAL. )

Wonderful Vacation
From the moment we walked in, we were so impressed with the home. It was so clean, decorated beautifully, equipped with everything you need. Ann was terrific to communicate with. The house is in perfect distance to beach, a very short walk, quiet neighborhood, and short bike ride to The Nest and Nature Center. We hope to return again. Thank you Ann for a wonderful stay!

Perfect!
Ann’s cottage was lovely! Would stay here again. We enjoyed the quiet location and the roominess for 4 adults and a dog. It was a short walk to the beach. It was furnished and decorated tastefully, the kitchen was well equipped, beds were comfortable, bathrooms nicely updated, laundry area was convenient. No complaints and I really wish I was still there : )

Our family enjoyed our stay over the Thanksgiving holiday at this lovely, very comfortable cottage. Ann was a gracious host. The cottage is nestled in a quiet neighborhood, a short walk to the beach. The area is beautiful, and Charleston was an easy drive. We hope to return. ~ The Levy Family

Kiawah Oceanwoods Cottage
We just finished an extended stay at Ann’s wonderful Kiawah cottage in the Oceanwoods development. The location is perfect, providing privacy and easy access to the beach and walk/bike trails. The home is well-equipped and has many updates including bathrooms with walk-in showers and comfort height toilets. Best thing of all is the responsiveness and helpfulness of the owner. Ann was wonderful in making arrangements for a new microwave to be delivered and installed for us very quickly when the old one died. The only thing we really missed was a gas barbecue but there is a charcoal one available for those who like the traditional method of grilling plus a new gas range. We would definitely consider staying at Ann’s cottage again.

Perfect for Families!
We loved our time in Kiawah Island! The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and just a short 3 minute walk to a wonderful beach. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. Instructions were very thorough and Ann was prompt and communicative with any questions I had. Everything is walkable and/or a short bike ride away. There’s also a huge park and playground if you have kids. We hope to come stay again next year! :)

Family Vacation
AQ was an excellent host and her property is wonderful. The house has a lot of extra room to spread out. The screened in porch looks out on the lagoon and well equipped with patio furniture and fan/light. The walk to the beach is short and shaded. Having chairs and bikes available was an added bonus. The kitchen is roomy for cooking with several people and had everything we could possibly need. We will look forward to hopefully going again soon...thank you for making our family vacation so memorable.

Perfect Retreat!
This cottage provided a perfect retreat from our hectic city lives. My husband and I enjoyed the relaxing days spent there along with two of our grown sons. We all appreciated its quiet cul-de-sac setting while being just a short stroll to the pristine beach and steps from the bike paths. The property is spacious, clean and has a well equipped kitchen as we all love to cook. The comfortable decor is tastefully updated and lends the feel of a home away from home. This is a property that we plan to return to!

Fantastic property
We had a fantastic stay at Ann's place in Kiawah Island and would love to return to it one day. The property exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our family. The kids (and adults) loved the proximity to the beach, and the attention to detail in the house was very impressive making for a very comfortable stay. We really couldn't recommend the property highly enough, Ann was a pleasure to deal with and it was a pleasure to stay at her property.

Spring beach getaway!
We visited Sea Lavendar Ct last Labor Day weekend and couldn't wait to return this past weekend!! I really appreciate how quickly Ann responds to emails and any questions and for detailed instructions and information regarding the stay. The home and location can't be beat. It is a short walk to the beautiful wide beach and there are lots of shady walking and bike paths. The home has a great layout and is beautifully decorated and so comfortable. We love sitting on the private screen porch over looking the lagoon . We also love nearby Fresh Fields Village and the Rider Cup Bar for lunch and it's gorgeous view! We can't wait to return !!

As a seasoned traveler, I can honestly say that there are few instances where I make the statement; "this house & location OVER delivers in every way imaginable". From the beginning, all communications with the owner Ann, were professional, detailed and prompt..this set a nice tone. It was our first trip to Kiawah, we typically take an annual golf/leisure trip to various destinations- The West Beach area of the Island is beautiful, quiet, with a short walk to the beach down a private footpath. It is convenient to all of the gorgeous golf courses, restaurants and up-scale shopping. The home itself was perfect. Among other amenities, it offers 2 great bdrms with private baths that worked perfectly for the adults, screened in porch, laundry room, great living area, etc etc! I highly recommend this property and hope to return-

Excellent Kiawah Vacation Home
Our family has vacationed on Kiawah for more than 30 years and had opportunities to stay in some very nice locations. Over the years, we have loved West Beach and have now found our "home away from home". It was such a pleasure to stay in the very private location on the lagoon, so near the beach path to the Atlantic Ocean! The house is completely remodeled to accommodate couples or families and extremely well furnished with a fully stocked kitchen and upscale furnishings, furniture and linens. The property owner is very organized , quick to communicate and such a pleasure to work with. We definitely plan to return to this location! Thank you for sharing with us.

About the host

Hosted by Ann (Anshus) Quattlebaum

Host profile image
I love Kiawah! I have been a property owner since 1978, when our family shared an Oceanwoods cottage with eight Greenville, SC families. I have owned the current cottage since 1993 and have made major additions/improvements three times over the years. I currently split my time living between the Kiawah cottage and a Greenville townhouse that I share with a daughter and son-in-law. As a result, cottage availability is limited. Book early!

I am a retired clinical social worker, ending my career in 2011 at Furman University, my alma mater. I have three adult children and seven grandchildren, all of whom love Kiawah as much as I do. We rent a second house every Fourth of July week so that we can be together "at the beach".

Why they chose this property

Kiawah is an exceptional family vacation spot. This cottage is ideal for a large family, a multigenerational family, or two average-size families. Potty trained and well-behaved, non-shedding dogs up to 40 lbs. are welcome with an additional payment.

What makes this property unique

The cottage location is on a quiet, private cut-de-sac very close to an uncrowded strand of Kiawah's beach. A lagoon surrounds the back yard and its serenity and wildlife can be enjoyed from the screened porch or, when the weather is chilly, through large windows in the den. As an added convenience, four bicycles and beach chairs are available for your use.
