About this property

Charming Home on Kiawah Island with Pool & Screened Porch

Charming home, located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, offers a peaceful retreat just steps away from the Kiawah River and Night Heron Park. Double front doors and a wide front porch invite you into this well-appointed 2,800 sq. foot Low Country beach home. Open living room and dining spaces accented with hardwood flooring, transom doorways, and wainscoting lead onto a large screened porch. The well-equipped kitchen features glass-faced cabinetry and convenient access to the dining area.

A private saltwater pool that can be heated in the winter, allows one to relax during your stay. An outdoor shower with bench and privacy, conveniently located by the pool and driveway.

Located on the first floor, the master suite with king size bed offers access to the inviting screened porch. Its comfortable bath features double vanities, an oversized tub, and a separate shower. Guests will find the second-floor bedrooms delightful with access to a wonderful deck overlooking a wooded setting. On this floor, we have another king with private bath (pack n play located in the walk-in closet), a queen bedroom, two twins and a small study with a sofa and desk.

Six minutes by bike to the beach, or park in nearby Night Heron Park and walk across to the beach. There are numerous bike paths to enjoy during your stay to various points on the island.

It is a short drive to several golf courses, Charleston and other nearby points of interests.

Great rental with a central location

We were in Kiawah for a wedding and Suzan's home was a perfect match for our stay. The house has a central location on the island and the pool and living room were perfect spaces to relax in between wedding events.

Great house on Kiawah Island

We had an amazing stay at this property! The house comfortably fit our big group, and it had great amenities (pool, grill, porch, etc.). The house is also located in a great spot—close to the beach, tennis courts, golf courses, and markets. Throughout the planning process and trip, Suzan, the host, was very communicative and responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Great house!

The house is located at the end of a street and so quiet and peaceful. Very spacious and roomy. We are a group of college friends and greatly enjoyed the screened in porch and pool. We rented beach bikes and it was only a short ride to the beach. Really a great house!!

We truly enjoyed the house looks just like the pictures even better. We thought the daybed was in the room with twin beds but they was separate room. That's makes the stay even more awesome. The neighbors were friendly and nice. We felt welcome and we will book again. Thanks 😊!

Wonderful Stay

We have been staying at Kiawah for 25 years, and this house was perfect for our family. We traveled with three children (1, 2, and 4) and we were especially appreciative of the many ways the property was hospitable to families through things such as a baby gate and pack and play. The property owner and manager were incredibly communicative, and we appreciated the renter’s manual provided in advance. While not beachfront, we also found the beach to be very easily accessible. The screened in porch was also a huge plus. Five stars and would gladly stay here again!

GREAT ROOMY PLACE

All good except the shampoo, soap and conditioner was low in a few bathrooms needing filled. The fan and tv remotes were switched around from room to room leaving you to solve the puzzle. In general yes, I would rent again without question. The good outweighed the bad. a positive experience staying in KIAWAH.

Beautiful, Cozy Home

My wife and I stayed just one night here. We loved it. The house was very clean, well lit and in a beautiful neighborhood. I have 0 complaints. The only odd thing was that they are very proud of their family, apparently, and there were pictures all over the home. It felt a bit like I was staying in someone else’s home rather than renting a space for a night. But, it’s hard to fault anyone for being proud of their family. So, again - no gripes. Well worth the $.

Great place to stay

Awesome stay! Close to the beach and a great pool in the backyard! We are locals who enjoy the state beaches. House was very clean. Had to call the maintenance guy to fix the sump pump for the pool cover and he was there in no time to fix it. We would most definitely stay here again. Only a few small issues. We arrived 30 minutes after check-in time and the house was not ready. The refrigerator is small to store food for six for a week but there is a grocery store on the island. The upstairs beds seem a little outdated as they felt like old spring beds. The pool side lounge chairs had rotten legs and we could not use them. Overall we would rate this an A rental and would return in the future. Did I mention the pool in the backyard was awesome!

As Described

This was a cozy well appointed home in Kiawah. Great kitchen set-up and good grill. Comfy beds and small but useable bathrooms. Back porch is comfy and we used most mornings and every night. Neighborhood and neighbors are quiet (except for whippoorwill,) Improvements include 1) pool is small and pool deck is under appointed and uninviting. 2) Master bath main plumbing is clogged and slow 3) Owners managing it from afar (great communication from them) but their cleaning staff is not maintaining grounds and outside areas as much as they should 4) front porch and upper back porch are sparsely furnished. Entire home is 40 years old so as long as you understand that - comfy rental.

The house was wonderful for our 7 adults and 2 children under 2. The beds were comfortable the baths were complete clean and had great towels shampoo conditioner and bath soap. The kitchen was well equipped clean and workable. The large screened porch was fabulous for dining and entertainment. The pool was essential for our group and used every day. Ample storage for 7 bikes in the garage and a 5 minute bike ride to the beach. It was a wonderful experience. Kiawah is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation

The absolute BEST VRBO vacation spot we've found!

We just completed our fourth trip to this Kiawah property and every year, it's the highlight of our year. The location is perfect. Close to the beach and Kiawah's Freshfield Village giving you everything you need for a relaxing time. The ocean, great restaurants, cute shopping, all in an ideal setting. But what sets this spot apart from any other is the house. Suzann has created the ultimate spot for relaxation and peace. The decor, the amenities, everything you want to be perfect, always is and this is one of the few spots we've seen that the pictures don't do the space justice. In particular, what the pictures can't show is how quiet the back porch is and how private the pool is. You're truly in your own world to simply breathe and enjoy time with people you're with. (And in our case, that's time together as a family that you can't put a price on.) The home is always spotless, the property is meticulously maintained, and we're already counting down the days until our trip next year. Thank you Suzan as always for letting us stay here and we'll see you in 2023! :)

Why they chose this property

We bought this property sight unseen, but we had both vacationed in Kiawah for years and knew we wanted to own a home here. This house is wonderful. It has a wonderful feel to it--very well constructed and maintained. We are always updating the property to keep it current including major improvements this spring.

What makes this property unique

We are one of the few private homes that has a salt-water pool. The pool can be heated in the cooler months for an additional fee of $200.
