Location is Awesome! This Mariners Watch villa is 200 footsteps to the beautiful Kiawah beach! Located on a premier section of Kiawah (East Beach) and is extremely close to the Night Heron Park, 5 Star Sanctuary Hotel, and brand new Nest Cafe and market. The villa is on the 2nd floor (so, no overhead noise), has cathedral ceilings (spacious feel), and has

Easy bike ride or walk from the beach to the Sanctuary Hotel's outdoor bar and dining area. It is also a big convenience if you are renting a bike from the resort to walk over to the park if you need a rental or replacement.

The villa has a premier rating (sold surface counters, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances) along with updated cabinets, a bar area, a spacious shower, flat screen TVs, new mattresses, and new furniture. The villa sleeps 4 with a Queen sized bed in the master bedroom and a new Queen sized leather sleeper sofa in the living room.

The villa is locally managed so if you have any concerns during your stay you will receive a quick response.

Nice and quiet
The condo complex is nice and quiet except for the 2 days of parking lot and sidewalk repairs. They were quick and we were grateful they were not there all week. The unit could use a good more through cleaning. Pollen was out of control and porch was basically unusable as it was covered in pollen. Same with front door and screen. Unit living space was ok but could use a deeper cleaning. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Close to the beach and a very nice area.

Love Kiawah, What better way to enjoy your time at Kiawah than to be at this awesome condo. It was very nice, clean, so close to the beach, and you couldn't ask for a better location or property manager. The recommendations about the area and restaurants were spot on. The beach was so close and spectacular. Enjoyed out time and hopefully, will definitely be back.

Excellent Place to Stay
We have been going to Kiawah for 7 years and this property was excellent. We have stayed at several places around the island but seem to always love the Mariners properties because of the closeness to the ocean. I highly recommend this property because the property owner reached out to us twice to make sure we were enjoying our stay and asked if we needed anything while we were there. The place was clean, couch and bed were comfortable and there were literally no bugs at all which are typically found down in a lot of properties on the island but not this one. Definitely choose this place if you have a small family and want a good getaway with easy access to beach and other places like the nest that is a hop skip and a jump from the property!!

Lovely condo
We enjoyed our stay. Barbara was so attentive to every question we had. The bedding was comfortable as well as the furniture. The condo was clean and had everything that we needed. It was about a five minute easy walk to the beach. The only issue that some people might need to know about is that it is on the second floor and you have to climb about 22 steps up to the unit. Other than that, it was great for us.

The best of South Carolina on one Island
I loved my month stay on Kiawah Island. This condo is in a great location. Within steps of the beach and with a bike/walking path literally in the backyard and a 5 minute walk to Night Huron Park. I love to ride my bike and everyday was like a new adventure, riding for miles and miles mixed with daily beach walks. The beach was not crowded at all. I am not a golfer but the golf courses looked fabulous and made me wish I was a golfer. The condo was comfy and had everything I needed. My communication with the owner was awesome as she and her crew checked on my occasionally to make sure I had everything I needed. Shopping at Freshfields Village was convenient and Kiawah Medical Spa and Salon is awesome too. I recommend Ireland for massages. The people were all very friendly. It is definitely an island for those who wish to be active, not to mention exploring Charleston. I am missing Kiawah already and dreaming of going back to experience it in a different season and visit all the places I still need to visit near there. So much to do and see.

Wonderful 3 Weeks at 4253 MW
My husband & I spent the last three weeks of October at 4253 Mariners Watch. I communicated numerous times with Barbara, the owner, prior to arrival and she always replied promptly—I had lots of questions about the villa. Check in upon arrival was easy. The villa was exactly as described, spotlessly clean, updated bathroom & kitchen. Lots of closet & drawer space in bedroom. Very comfortable bed. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything I needed to prepare meals at home. The living room was comfortably furnished & the screened porch had been upgraded to a “wicker” loveseat, chairs, & coffee table. The porch was perfect for morning coffee & afternoon cocktails with a lovely view of lagoon. The walk to the beach was quick & easy. You are also steps from The Sanctuary, Night Heron Park, & the newly built Nest (shop & food services). The weather was perfect, we rode bikes, my husband golfed, & we spent hours every day at the beach. This villa is perfect in every way—location, furnishings, cleanliness, AND owner pride. Thank you again, Barbara! We had a wonderful three weeks!

Perfect stay
We had a wonderful stay here! Check in was easy, the unit was clean and had everything we needed, and the owner even left us a chilled bottle of wine because we were celebrating our anniversary! It is amazingly close to the beach, and we loved the ease of renting bikes and umbrella/chairs. Kiawah is gorgeous, and we look forward to a return stay!

200 steps to the beach!!
This was a most relaxing stay for us. For the first time I wasn't chasing tee times, running into Charleston ( although it's fun), running back and forth to Freshfields, we went to Harris Teeter's to stock up only once, instead every morning a short walk to the beach, set up the umbrella, break out the sand chairs, and put in an 8 hour shift watching the tide roll in and out. We slept great, everything was chill. But, we got lucky, the owner Barbara is truly a remarkable person, she is the perfect host. Her rental is clean, and has a very comfortable sofa, and chair in the living area. I only hope we'll be able to rent from her again, because all her reviews are 5 star, all well deserved, and thanks Barbara, you're the best!!

You’ll be so grateful for this location!
There are over 3,000 houses/units at the resort, but not many have this beach access! When I’d see others having to cart their beach supplies from way across the main road, I kept thinking everyone else must be so envious. ;) Mariners Watch is a fantastic location for anyone prioritizing beach access + this unit is in a great location within the MW complex. You will use Boardwalk 16. Look on the resort’s ‘interactive map’ and notice how central East Beach is to everything. I enjoyed the ability to quickly be at The Sanctuary. Everything in the unit was squeaky clean. Checking in and out was a breeze. This unit is perfect for a single, a couple or a small family willing to use sleeper sofa. Barbara was a dream to work with - so kind, hospitable and quick to respond - a wonderful host! I will definitely return!

About the host

My husband and I found Kiawah on a drive from Pennsylvania to Florida headed to a vacation on Amelia Island with our two young kids. When we saw Kiawah, we cancelled Amelia and have been frequenting Kiawah ever since. We did stop by Amelia a few years ago and NO comparison. Kiawah is beautiful, minimal traffic, tons of bike trails, awesome beach, nice pools, lots of nature.

Why they chose this property

Beautiful Beach - rated one of the top in the world! Many activities for kids and adults, Tennis Courts and Golf Courses. Make sure to rent bikes and tour the island. Even when Kiawah is fully occupied, it never feels crowded. The landscape and wildlife at Kiawah is amazing.
Please make sure to ask Owner About Honeymoon Welcome Packages or Other Special Event Packages!!!
