About this property

Tranquil villa just steps from the beach!

Our Windswept Villa is located just a short walk down the path from Kiawah's world-renowned, 10 mile-long beach! The setting is tranquil, and very "Kiawah". We love the beauty of the coastal shingle-styled buildings nestled in the natural setting that draws most of us to Kiawah Island in the first place, and has captured our hearts forever. We enjoy stepping out each morning with a cup of coffee for a walk along the beach. Later in the day we can take our beach chairs and a book and relax next to the ocean. At some point each day we hop on bikes to explore the island along the miles of bike paths that wind through the forest and past amazing seaside cottages, and architecturally stunning mansions. We love that we are not rushed. We know to take our time and enjoy the peacefulness and beauty of the island for our short time here. There are no crowds EVER. Even over the busiest holidays, we are pleasantly surprised by how few people are sharing our little vacation experience. There is no other place like it! License # RBL20-000232

The host requires you to complete the following before checking out:
Load and start the dishwasher
Strip any used beds and store extra beds
Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish
Turn off the lights and lock the doors
If you would like to help the cleaning person and start a load of laundry, that’s great! But only if you have time to at least transfer it to the dryer before you leave.
Be sure to hang any wet towels or wash cloths so they don’t get mildewy.
Please remove all food. If you have something unopened and hate to discard it, it’s OK to leave in the fridge with a note for the cleaning person. Maybe she would enjoy it!
Failure to complete these may result in a negative review from the host.
Please be respectful of our villa by adhering to the "no pets" policy, and refrain from smoking except in the parking area or the walking path to the

The pictures do not do this place justice. Steps from the beach, amazing community, and wonderful people. Tom and Anne were the best hosts we’ve had in our travels. If you are considering it, just do it, you will not be let down. The villa was spotless, super accommodating, and nicer than we imagined. We will definitely be back again this summer!!

We had a wonderful 3 night stay. Tom was so helpful in his communication and quick responses. The Villa was perfect for two people, kitchen well equipped, plenty of towels and a super comfortable king bed. We loved the ease of getting to the beach, very short walk. If you can bring your own bikes or rent some as there are well over 30 miles of trails. We will definitely be back to stay at Tom and Anne’s wonderful beach villa.

We had a nice stay in Tom’s beautiful villa. The property was exactly as described and well-appointed. I love all the vintage and antique decor. Tom responded immediately to my messages. We didn’t get there until almost midnight, and Tom waited for my response letting him know we were in. It was a short walk to the beautiful beach. We enjoyed going to Beachwalk and watching the dolphins strand feed. That was really interesting. Thank you Tom & Kathy for sharing your beautiful home!

About the host

Hosted by Tom and Anne

Host profile image
We have been vacationing on Kiawah for more than 20 years. After visiting many "typical" vacation communities with my family over the years, we discovered the unique vacation experience of Kiawah in 1998, and fell in love. Although we live in Omaha, NE, we have been coming here ever since.
We have 4 children, and we stay in a 3 bedroom Night Heron Cottage when we come as a family. We bought this villa in 2018 and rented it to guests through the Kiawah Island Resort for the past 2 years. However, we found that the resort management did not provide a high enough level of vacation experience for our guests, to justify the inflated prices charged. We want our guests to feel that they have a wonderful vacation, as well as a good value. So...we have taken over control! We hope to have many happy guests who want to come back to Kiawah year after year like we do!

Why they chose this property

This is such a great location, with proximity to the beach without having to cross any roads! This villa is all about the beach and the beauty of Kiawah!

What makes this property unique

No need to cross any roads to get to the beach. And if you forgot something, or just need a fresh drink, the villa is right there!!
