Perfect Getaway!

Porch House is a dream! The views were even more stunning than the pictures, the house was beautifully furnished and the kitchen well-stocked. Marie is a lovely and gracious host. The only thing we did not like about our stay was having to leave!

Our stay was dreamy!

Our group of girlfriends had an amazing time at this beautiful home! The house is stunning, as are the marsh views. It was well equipped with everything we needed, plus extra thoughtful touches. All of us expressed wanting to return to the house, but next time for a longer stay!

Absolutely beautiful!!

This property was stunning! Everything was beautiful, comfortable and spotless! It also came with all the items we would need for the beach/pool and made our trip so easy. They thought of everything to make it a wonderful experience. This home would get 50 stars if we could give it. We had a wonderful time and would definitely stay again!

The nicest VRBO I have ever stayed in!

This house was absolutely STUNNING. Between the view of the marsh at the back of the house and the stunning pool views…our stay could not have been more perfect to celebrate our bride-to-be. The host was more than accommodating and we had everything we needed (and more) stocked in the house. Beds and furniture all very high quality and SO comfortable. Every little touch truly made our stay beyond perfect. I will definitely be coming back to stay at this house again with family! 10/10!

Beautiful relaxing marsh view house

We had a lovely stay at the porch house. The house is new and feels very clean and airy. There were lots of books and games for kids, and of course the pool. Everything for the beach was provided including towels, chairs, umbrellas, and the bikes and bike cart to get there. It was about a 10 minute bike with kids. At high tide you can take the kayak into the marsh and see lots of birds. Marie was a great communicator. We would definitely recommend this house.

The perfect Kiawah getaway

The Porch House was exactly what our family needed/wanted out of our week in Kiawah. Marie's house had everything you could ask for- a beautiful view overlooking the marsh and sunsets each night, a pool that we all loved using daily- especially the kids, beautifully designed rooms and furnishings, and awesome kitchen/scullery with everything you would need. She has gone above and beyond outfitting this house - from bikes for every age rider/buggy cart for little ones to attach to adult bike, to nespresso machines and hair dryers/wands in the bedrooms, to nice toiletries and even a welcome basket. I could go on and on about her lovely interior design choices too. Great location on the island too. I can't recommend this house enough!

About the host

Hosted by Marie Hoyle

Host profile image
Our family has had always had a vision to own or run a bed and breakfast someday. While we still have a young family this was the perfect opportunity for us to share our love for Kiawah Island, a passion for entertaining and sharing our property with others.

Why they chose this property

We had the opportunity to build a custom home on Kiawah in 2020. Once you arrive you will quickly see the draw.. the View! We have expansive views over a large flat and out to the Kiawah River!

What makes this property unique

With a large tidal flat right out our back door. Guests can use our kayaks, enjoy a cocktail on the screen porch, enjoy a relaxing swim in our private pool or open up our expansive 18 ft doors for an outside in feeling. Perfect for the family getaway or several couples retreat. Close to the beach, golfing just a short bike ride up to the 5 star Sanctuary Hotel. Did we mention when you arrive, no need to pack all the beach gear if you are traveling a distance. We provide beach cruisers, beach chairs, toys, boogie boards and coolers so you don’t have to pack it all. Spend time in the downstairs area for some ping pong or catching the scores of the game. Large Blackstone grill and Oyster table perfect for all your outdoor entertaining.
