The property was perfect. We had three families together and there is plenty of space. The walk to the beach is short. Having beach carts and chairs already there was a huge win. Will go again next year. Highly recommend this property.

Family vacation

We had family in from the West coast as well as from Atlanta. The house is beautiful and very well equipped. The location is excellent, mid-island, with just a short walk to the beach and then back to the beautiful pool. I highly recommend Kiawah Elegance.

Perfection!

Kiawah Elegance was a dream of a vacation home and was just perfect for our family! The home is spacious, well located, spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and very well outfitted for our every need while on vacation. The property owner was very accessible and responsive, and gave us great recommendations for things to do and where to find particular services, rent bikes, etc. I highly recommend this property -- you will not be disappointed!

Superb!

Superb is the best way to describe our stay! The house itself is just magnificent in layout and furniture. The heated pool was THE feature our grand children enjoyed the most although the beach was a close and beautiful second place. Our host Erin answered our questions promptly and offered suggestions for local attractions. The day after we returned I booked the house for next year!

Perfect Beach House!

This was my fifth visit to Kiawah with a large group, and this house exceeded our expectations. The layout, pool, and location were ideal, and the included chairs and beach items were a fantastic perk. The kitchen was well-stocked, and the two dining areas made it easy for our group to enjoy home-cooked meals together. The beach is just a 5-minute walk or a 2-minute bike ride away via the nearby path. Communication with the owner was seamless, making our stay even more enjoyable.

Kiawah Elegance - A Little Slice of Heaven!

We have stayed in dozens of properties in Kiawah over the last 30 years and Kiawah Elegance is an extraordinary property. From the minute you walk through the front door you feel the care that the owners have taken to create a warm, thoughtful and inviting environment for their guests. The owners' attention to detail is exceptional and the house is equipped with everything a large family needs to gather together. We intend to return again and again! Congratulations to the owners on creating a truly memorable home.

Outstanding property

Our family has been coming to Kiawah for over 10 years. We have stayed in a variety of different homes (including beachfront) and this by far was the best home. The owner is very kind, responsive, and a great communicator. We loved all aspects of the house, especially the screened-in porch, the upgrades in the kitchen, and the comfortable beds. This house conveniently backs up to the bike path that takes you directly to the beach. We booked for next year quickly!

Gorgeous New Mid-Island Home

This is a beautiful, new, 7 BR home at the east end of Glen Abbey in the Vanderhorst neighborhood. It is just a short stroll or bike ride down Boardwalk 32 to the beach. The floor plan and décor are well thought out with lots of room for guests to spread out. There is a refreshing pool and relaxing screened-in porch. The amenities include a well-appointed kitchen and butler’s pantry, dual washers and driers and a nice collection of “beach toys.” It was a memorable setting for this summer’s family gathering.

Beautiful home, great location, wonderful host

We have rented many Kiawah properties over the years, and Kiawah Elegance was the absolute best. Erin, the host, was Incredible, and the most gracious owner we’ve had; made sure we had everything we needed, was very helpful with me whenever I contacted her with questions, and responded immediately. She went above and beyond to make sure we had things necessary for our four month old grandson. Kitchen had the most extensive assortment of cooking, baking, etc. that we had seen. All appliances were top notch. The 2nd floor space really made the trip, and allowed the teenagers to have their separate space. Thank you Erin for a wonderful week!!

Wow!

We had a group of 13 stay at this house last week and I honestly can't say enough good things about the property. The house is beautiful and fantastic in so many ways. The interior of the house, furniture, appliances, etc are all immaculate and extremely well done. Bed linens are amazing and super comfortable, tv/sonos was easy to use, and we had more than enough space. Close to the beach as advertised, pool was great since it was heated and we used it a lot The bike set up was super easy (use Alligator Bikes) and fantastic to have access to. Grill was great and easy to use. Kiawah is a phenomenal place that is great for families and we really enjoyed out time there. Having this property as our home base for the week was something we will never forget!
