This is magnificent home on the best street in Kiawah! The rooms are huge, giving everyone the chance to find a quiet spot while enabling all the family activity you can imagine. We had 8 adults and three little ones with plenty of room to spare. I could envision coming back with five couples, as there are five full bedroom/bath suites. The grounds are immaculate, and the pool was perfect for the adults and kids alike. All that and having the beach essentially in the backyard made for a wonderful vacation for all three generations of our family!

Paradise

We have been coming to Kiawah for 20+ years. What a treat to be able to stay in this home. It sits right on the beach with it's own boardwalk, most house of this quality and size are not available to rent. You can tell this is a family home that has been well loved. and boy is this beauty is well built!!! We road out a tropical storm and the house barely budged!! This is the most prestigious street on Kiawah and the property owners are easy to work with. We will definitely be renting this house again!!

Fantastic Family Vacation!

As avid travelers, we have stayed in many properties over the years. 140 Flyway is one that we plan to return to for a variety of reasons. Our entire family of 6 guests had ample space to gather together or have the freedom and room to be independent. In planning our trip, Amanda was prompt with replies, flexible and accommodating. This home has an ideal location with pristine interior and exterior details and features. The beach is within steps of the fabulous pool, which makes for an ideal setting. The quiet atmosphere allowed our family to feel as if this was a true escape. The home was very clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Thank for allowing us to enjoy your hojme!

Family reunion paradise!

We could not have asked for a more perfect home for accomodating mine and my siblings families ages 13 to 89. Each room is beautifully decorated and spacious. The great room with the stunning view provided multiple seating opportunities for quiet sitting while others played cards in the dining area and others cooked in the kitchen. This home felt like home and we never felt we needed to fill our days with activities other than just enjoying the property. The easy access to the beach encouraged so many activities like viewing sunrise, surf fishing, bike riding and walking on the beach. The terrace level with the pool provided shaded and sunny sitting areas. The Owner was very responsive to any of our questions or needs during our stay. This is our favorite home that we have rented and we hope to be back again.

Kiawah - 3 generations, 35 years vacationing!

I can’t say enough about our stay at 140 Flyway. What an exceptional home. From the time we arrived the house felt like home and it was decorated so beautifully. We received detailed instructions to gain entrance and the necessary guidance for the home itself for our stay. The house was exceptionally clean, bathrooms fully equipped with clean towels, soap, etc. The kitchen, too, was equipped with dish ware, pots, pans, everything you would possibly need. The spacious living areas accommodated our party of 12 so comfortably. Lower level pool table /ping pong was a big hit with everyone. The virtual tour of the home was exact and truly exceeded our expectations. From grilling poolside to a short boardwalk stroll to the beach where we enjoyed fabulous sunsets, we couldn’t have found a better home for our family. A huge thank you to management for going above and beyond in helping us with some additional needs. Look for us next year! Thanks

Perfect multi-generational family vacation home for 15

This stunning home truly exceeded our expectations for a recent family vacation with my parents and my siblings’ families to celebrate our dad’s birthday. We were 4 adult couples, 3 teenagers, and 4 kids under 10. Everyone had excellent room accommodations- no one had to take a “less than” room. The house is even better than it looks in the pics. Everything was very clean and well maintained. Gorgeous views and easy beach access. Bonus: we could watch our family members on the beach from the cozy living room. Thanks to our host’s recommendations we had a wonderful meal prepared at the home by a chef service one night (excellent experience) and a family portrait photo shoot to memorialize our trip. (@charlotteelizabethphoto.com) This is a wonderful beach for kids. They even swam in the chilly Dec temps! One note: there are many stairs in this 4-story home that cannot be avoided. This was not a problem for us but important to know for those with limited mobility. Our whole family was very impressed by the beautiful home and we hope to return. Thanks to our very responsive host!

The accommodations, that were beautifully appointed, surpassed our expectations with its magnificent views, space, pool and play areas. The private boardwalk to the beach, which was a great backdrop for our family photo, enabled our family to view the wildlife while walking to the beach. Each bedroom had its own personality while maintaining the home’s good taste. Judi and Amanda, our host and property manager were very informative and responsive. It was the perfect house to stay for our large family of 15 with ages ranging from 8 weeks to 72 years of age.

Family Birthday Celebration

This home was a perfect getaway for our 3 generation family to celebrate my husbands 65th birthday. The home is stunning, highlighted by its living room with huge floor to ceiling windows that showcase the gorgeous beach and ocean views...breathtaking! The large king bedrooms, the kids bunk room and the baby room were all inviting and cozy esp after a full day of activities, of which Kiawah has more than we could possibly get to. A wonderful home and a wonderful spot!!!

Birthday at Kiawak

We spent a long weekend celebrating my birthday with family. The home easily accommodated our group of 13 . The home is beyond spectacular with breathtaking views of the ocean which you can also see from the upstairs shower. The common space was huge with something like 40 foot ceiling. It was easy to cook for our group and everyone was thrilled with the house. Our property manager attended to all our needs and we had no problems with anything.

Beautiful ocean front home and property on the most spectacular beach BUT was surprised to find that a VRBO of this caliber (4k per night)would come with a total of 10 garbage bags, large amount of missing lightbulbs throughout hime, a rationing of 3 towels per guest room, fireplaces unable to be used, disconnected elevator for 4 floors, and holiday inn sized soap.

Oceanfront Gem with Awesome Views & Large Pool

Our extended family - 3 generations including 5 teenagers - enjoyed a blissful stay at this expansive oceanfront property. Highlights of the house include panoramic ocean views from the nearly two-story windows in the living room and from the dining area, cute boy and girl group bedrooms that can each sleep 3-4, and multiple adult suites that could pass for a master. The adults enjoyed sipping happy hour drinks while taking in the awesome ocean view, while the girls enjoyed doing music performances from an interior living room balcony. We made extensive use of the large pool and the private boardwalk affords very quick and access to the beach. Our teens loved surfing, throwing a football on the beach, and sunbathing. We enjoyed a great bike trip and played several rounds of golf on the resort courses (including the Ocean Course). The owner/host was very helpful and responded promptly and helpfully to texts. While the house is not new, it is well-appointed and everything is in good working order. Our only regret is that wish we could have stayed longer than the 11 days we booked!
