This Kiawah Island vacation rental features three bedrooms, picturesque marsh and river views, multiple outdoor living spaces, and access to the Inlet Cove community dock and seasonal pool. The cottage is less than a 5-minute walk from the beach.

Complete with new furnishings, hardwood floors, windows, as well as paint inside and out, this cottage will offer guests a one of a kind experience in the Inlet Cove community. The completely renovated (2024) cottage boasts three bedrooms, a whole-house water filter, high-end finishes throughout, and an incredible view over the marsh.

Upon entering the cottage, you are greeted by a beautiful open living plan with a convenient drop zone, perfect to hang your jackets or beach towels, to your left. Immediately on your right is the primary bedroom, which features a king-size bed, flat screen TV, en suite bathroom with double sinks and a walk-in shower.

The spacious living area offers a couch and two lounge chairs, plus a large flat-screen TV for everyone to enjoy. Just behind the living room, you will find the dining area with seating for six, as well as the cozy sunroom with additional space for relaxation.

The deck off the kitchen features a small table where you can enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening beverage while overseeing the beautiful marsh and river view. (Photos coming soon!)

The cottage is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.

First Time to the Atlantic Ocean

This was our first time to visit the beach and Atlantic ocean. We were impressed with our cute little cottage near the beach. Everything was clean and perfect for us. We had plenty of room to hang out and eat, converse, or watch a movie. It was everything we wanted for our weekend get away!

Disappointing

Kiawah is a wonderful place. We should know, we owned one of the Inlet Cove cottages for 25 years. #96 unfortunately has not been well maintained. The most glaring deficiency is the broken lighting at the entrance. Lack of light made coming and going at night very dangerous! Additionally, the railings and stairs were rotting and very unstable. The house had a lot of accumulated dirt on the fans and vents. The view of the marsh from the porch is great; unfortunately, so much old patio furniture is crammed into it that it is not usable for sitting or dining. For these reasons, I do not recommend this house.

Lovely house!

The house, view and location are amazing. Can’t beat the Kiawah Island vibe… low key. The rental company were efficient and professional. If you want to use the credit for gear rental … make sure you order before you get there as you will not get same day delivery, otherwise you will loose a day. The house was clean and had everything we needed except dryer would not work and carpets need to be cleaned. Beds are comfy! We would stay again anytime!

Great little getaway!

Have always loved Kiawah, visited when I was in college and now having a family I had to bring them back. It definitely didn’t disappoint. Great little spot in a great neighborhood. Great central location for everything. Will definitely be back. Also property manager responded promptly and even accommodated us for arriving early allowing us to check in early.

Thanksgiving 2022

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our entire family being together on this special day for the 1st time since we lost our parents in 2009 & 2012. I live on Kiawah but my home couldn’t accommodate everyone, so I rented this home for those who couldn’t stay with us! Thanks to VRBO we now have wonderful memories of Thanksgiving 2022 with all my family together for 3 fabulous days!

Needs Improvements

Kiawah island is the best! However this house was incredibly dirty. All of the towels had to be washed and the bathroom and kitchen needed to be cleaned before use. The AC unit could not cool the house properly. A technician was sent out twice with little improvement. The thermostat would not go below 75. However the host was Very courteous and responsive. The location is ideal for both the beach and pool. The house just needs major improvement.

Nice stay

Kiawah Island is just beautiful. The place overall was great. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is due to the fact that the linens smelled like "wet dog" and place isn't really updated but still comfortable. We ended up washing the linens before sleeping with them. Otherwise wonderful unit in nice neighborhood close to beach and river. The owner communicated with us very well throughout the entire process.

Quiet and peaceful stay at a wonderful cottage. Even though it rained for 2 of the days, we still had a great time relaxing and listening to the birds and watching the deer. Cathy was a super host and was extremely responsive. I am sure we will be back!!

A Blessing!!!✨

What a sweet blessing it was to stay at 96 Inlet Cove!!!✨ My family’s first ever beach trip together was so special! Mrs. Senter, our hostess, was Heaven-Sent! She was so kind, inviting and hospitable! She treated us like we were part of her own family!(God bless you! ♥️) The property was so nice as well. It was clean and well stocked for all our needs! It was also just minutes away from the beach which we enjoyed walking to each day to behold the power and masterful work of the Creator we love!🙌🏻 We could not have asked for a better place to stay!🌟

Working with this homeowner was outstanding! Very kind, and replies very quickly!

If you are looking for a place that will hold a good amount of people and are not worried about it being just a little out of date, this is an amazing place to stay! We were out and about for most of the day anyway. The place has plenty of bathrooms to accommodate a large group, and the kitchen was stocked with everything you need to use for cooking. We especially loved the fact that there were washer and dryer there to use. You WILL DEFINITELY want to take advantage of using them! Over all, it was a great stay!
