About this property

Gorgeous lagoon view, easy beach access, 2 masters

This spacious three-bedroom, 3.5 bathroom contemporary home sleeps eight guests and is situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac that’s right next to Osprey Point Golf Course and is less than a 5-minute bike ride away from the sandy beaches of Kiawah Island.
When you step foot into the entryway, you’re immediately greeted with idyllic views of the secluded lagoon the property faces. The house has all the updated amenities you’ll need: a fully-equipped chef’s kitchen, high-speed internet, laundry room, beach towels, Sonos speakers in all corners of the house, oversized smart TVs in the living room, main bedroom and screened-in porch, a wide variety of books to enjoy, plenty of games and puzzles to play and even a record player with an extensive library to choose from.
The primary bedroom is oversized and is nestled away in its own corner of the house. It features a vaulted ceiling, private back deck entry with two chaise lounges outside, a king-sized bed, smart TV, desk space, and a fully renovated spa-like bath with walk-in shower, custom marble double sink countertop, soaking tub and ample walk-in closet space.
The two other bedrooms — one king and one with two queens — are situated in the other wing of the house and each have newly renovated en-suite bathrooms and oversized closets. The double queen bedroom also provides guests with a dedicated desk area.
Additionally, these en-suite bedrooms share a cozy landing space featuring an extra-wide daybed, where you can stretch out and relax while reading or contemplating the day’s upcoming activities.
The vaulted ceiling main living room has two large couches along with two swivel chairs that can comfortably seat all guests. Many thoughtful details will greet you: from the cozy blankets to the curated books that adorn the shelves, this room has something for everyone. Adjacent is the dining room and a chef’s kitchen, where you’ll find a large granite island with four counter stools, an oversized farmhouse style sink, two ovens, a gas cooktop, a state-of-the-art refrigerator with filtered water and ice, and a breakfast bar with Nespresso, additional coffee / hot water maker and a beverage / wine cooler.
Off both the kitchen and dining room areas is a spacious screened-in porch with a full seating area and flat-sceen TV to watch sports games and movies with the entire group. Off the porch, there’s a door that leads to the outside deck, which you can also access through the primary bedroom and living room. There you’ll find a barbecue grill and outdoor dining table and chairs to enjoy dinners under the stars. The porch is also a great place to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning and take in the nature around you: from baby alligator sightings in the lagoon to a plethora of rare birds dotting the skies, no day is the same in this backyard!
The house is 5 minutes away from the beach by bike and less than 15 minutes if you choose to walk. There’s a fully private outdoor hot/ cold shower situated at the side of the house for rinsing off the salt and sand when you come back to unwind after a day in the sun.
Please note that the dual-sided fireplace is not available for guest use, no smoking and no pets allowed.
As our guest, you will have access to 5 Championship Golf Courses, including The Ocean Course, location of the 2021 PGA Championship; The Kiawah Island Resort Tennis Center. No access available for resort pools or fitness center.
If you have the time, make a short trip (30 miles) to Charleston, America's most charming southern city. There you'll find world class dining, shopping and lots to explore.
When you stay with ESPM for 3-21 nights you will receive a valuable credit of up to $280 (amount dependent on length of stay) to use toward beach gear, bikes, etc. May not be available last minute. Upon booking you will be sent a rental agreement to review and complete online.

Pretty Bad

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pretty Bad. A/C Broke on a Sunday. Apparently ESPM does not have 24/7 contract. Didn't get fixed until Monday, while we sweated on a hot Sunday night in Kiawah. Liner to one of the showers disgusting. Called for a replacement on Monday, but didn't get it util Thursday. Each bathroom with too sinks only got 1 bar of soap. Too cheap to give a bar of soap for every sink? Requested Late check-out twice online and received no response, although answer was supposed to come within 72 hours of check-out. But charged my credit card no problem without responding. When asked for it in writing all I got was, "you were approved". No sorry, nothing. House itself was ok, except for what I mentioned above. Best part is close to beach. Other than that, I would NOT recommend it.

A Wonderful Week at the Beach

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: Our family had a very nice stay at 144 Hooded Merganser over the 4th of July week- the home is so well cared for, and wonderfully appointed in every way; we have stayed at many homes all throughout the island, and this is one of the best ever!! The screened in porch is idyllic with its lagoon view, and the house is in perfect condition- the layout of the bedrooms gives everyone space to unwind, and the kitchen was beautiful. It is a real gem behind Kiawah's second gate- easy walk to the beach several times a day.

First vacation in Kiawah Island

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: We typically vacation at Hilton Head or Bald Head Island, but have always heard good thing about Kiawah Island, so decided to give it a try. The island did not disappoint and neither did 144 Hooded Merganser. The house was gorgeous and very well appointed and maintained. The communication with ESPM was also excellent.

Beautiful, serene, immaculate!

The home is in one of the best locations on the island, close to the beach and in a beautiful, treed neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. The home itself is bright, beautifully decorated, immaculately clean (and we are very picky!) and a true home away from home. We especially loved the screened in porch and all of the kitchen amenities. Highly, highly recommend! We will be back

Wonderful family house with all the details!

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.

Lovely, lovely home!

Our family has stayed at quite a few houses on Kiawah over the years and this one is one of the very best! The furnishings, sheets, towels, rugs, etc are so comfortable and soft, the screened porch is the perfect spot to relax with cross breezes and 2 wonderful fans, the location is quiet and only a 4-5 min easy bike ride to the beach, the kitchen is extremely well equipped, TVs are amazing, Wifi worked perfectly, and its so clean and well set up for vacation! The management company was great with communication and responsiveness to questions and bike delivery, and the owners have left wonderful touches that add to the incredible welcoming feel of this house! We enjoyed this spot so very much and appreciate how much the owners have done to make it a home away from home!
