Relaxing & FUN

WONDERFUL stay!! The villa was very comfortable & had everything that we needed including a high chair & crib for our 1yo granddaughter. The deck & porch swing made for afternoon reading locations. The beach is beautiful & just a short walk from the villa. The host was very helpful & attentive & helped make our stay very enjoyable. Our dogs were soo happy that they were able to join us!!! Will most definitely return here if everything lines up!

Great location and pet friendly

Kiawah Island was beautiful and this place had a wonderful location. It was more budget-friendly than most places. We loved that we could bring our dog and had fun with her on the beach. It also had plenty of space and comfy beds. The two bathrooms were nice too!

Perfect rental for a family

This cottage is perfect for families. We like to just stay on the island during our vacation and all the kitchen appliances are provided which makes cooking dinner easy. All the beds are very comfortable and there are ceiling fans in all the rooms. We also like having access to the pool. This was our second time renting the property and we will most likely rent again in the future.

Great Beach Stay

My husband and I stayed in this property with our dog. It was perfect for what we wanted to do. The beach was a short walk away and was so good for long walks. We loved the space in the house, especially the screened porch. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware allowing us to stay in and cook a couple of nights. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we come to Kiawah.

Perfect family vacation house

Loved everything about this place. Perfect location. When not at the beach, we enjoyed lounging on the deck where it felt like we were in the jungle with all the beautiful surrounding greenery. Easy walk to the beach. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to friends and family.

Great location, helpful owners

Access to the beach with just a five minute walk to watch the sunrise each morning and pet friendly are my priorities. This property met both those requirements. Plus having friendly, helpful owners is the cherry on the top. On top of that, having volunteers on the beach where the dolphins typically strand feed to answer any questions, makes the Kiawah location go above and beyond.

Lovely Kiawah Island

We enjoyed our time on Kiawah. The house was conveniently located and gave plenty of room for our family of 5. We enjoyed working with the owners who were responsive and helpful and allowed us to make a last minute change and bring our small dog. We appreciated the communication that we could get in a little early as well. Minor improvements could be made to cleanliness of the back porch and kitchen (dishes that were in cabinets probably not cleaned by previous tenant). Dishes in general were sparse. Great space, friendly communication. We would stay again. Thank you!

Lovely Kiawah Cottage

Spent a full week on Kiawah with my immediate family and it was such a lovely stay. It was our first time on the island and Cheryl’s home was perfectly located near the beach and an easy drive to the local restaurants and grocery store. Host was very communicative and we felt right at home. Looking forward to our next visit :)
