About this property

Private 3 Bdrm Oceanwoods home_ short walk to the beach_ wifi_ deck and grill.

. License# RBL19-006881
Our cottage is located a few houses down from Eugenia that is beach front and has two easy boardwalk paths leading to the amazing 10 mile stretch of Kiawah beach. Our home features hardwood floors, granite counters, stainless steel appliances and recently remodeled bathrooms. Internet ready T.V.'s in living room and in all bedrooms. Samsung Plus and TV enabled channels available without streaming. We have a deck and grill out the back door and two garden benches out in front so you can enjoy the sounds of the ocean right from the house.
Sea Rocket Court is on non thru street making it a great location for families who want to be close to the beach and Island activities, but still have some quiet privacy. Bike rentals are easy with delivery and pick up, the island also offers kayaking, crabbing, fishing, chartered boats, kids camp, teen activities, a nature center, world class golf, and tennis in addition to 30 miles of paved paths and a 10 mile stretch of private beach that is also great for bikes, walking or a game of bocci. Sand dollars are more easily found on the beach than starfish, and are always a fun surprise to find one, a perfect sand dollar or starfish in the soft sand. Hiking trails and docks are found throughout the well managed wooded areas of the island. The Kiawah Conservatory also looks after the wildlife, host education sessions at the Night Heron Nature Center. Freshfields village is located just outside the Kiawah gate with a grocery, restaurants, shopping and summer activities on the green. Night Heron Park will have activities most nights of the week during the summer for families and late night teen events like glow paint ball. Charleston's is a 40-minute drive from Kiawah Island. It's hard to leave Kiawah but the trip to historic Charleston is worth it.

Our family uses our cottage and for that reason we continue to update and improve each year replacing or remodeling. Our kitchen was remodeled with granite counters, new cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The hardwood floors throughout the house were completed that same year. The bathrooms were updated with a glass shower, new tub, tile and sink fixtures. We added flat screen TV's in all the bedrooms with a 50 inch tv in the family room adding a oversize sectional sofa, and chair. The Master Bedroom has a king size bed, a 40 inch smart TV, ceiling fan, walk in closet and wooded views. The second bedroom has a queen bed, flat screen TV, and ceiling fan. The third bedroom has two twin beds, flat screen TV and ceiling fan.. The shared bathroom between was updated with new tile, tub, shower and vanity. We stock our kitchen with all that is needed to prepare and serve meals. The grill is propane and we do ask guests to use tin foil on the rack. We have a full size washer and dryer in the home for guest use. An enclosed sun room adds additional sq.ft. to the interior of the home. The back door leads to the deck that is shaded by large oak tree. We keep teak chairs and table out for guests year round. We love the island and our home, and are glad to share it with our guests.

Very nice, clean and fabulous location. Recommend without hesitation. The bed was very comfortable. No pets and no smoking policies are much appreciated due to allergies.

Ideal for biking

This is a cute Oceanwoods home that is in a great location to access and explore much of the island by bike. The trails are fantastic. The house is also very close to the ocean and the street is very quiet. The owners have updated the unit nicely and it is comfortable. Thank you for having the beach chairs available to use. It is so hard to transport those. The owner was immediately available by cell phone and email when I needed to contact her. Many thanks for that.

Great home; great location!

This home is well stocked and a very family friendly layout. The owner is very responsive and made the rental process very easy. The only issue we had was with the beds. The mattresses desperately need to be replaced. My husband and son who can sleep anywhere anytime struggled to sleep in the beds. I have a bad neck and back and I was in total agony. With this easy fix, we would definitely come back.

Great spot

Property was just as advertised. Not as nicely renovated as some Oceanwoods properties but comfortable and convenient. Owner was very responsive. Could use additional bath towels - only 6 were provided for 6 adults so there's no extras if you put them all in the laundry. There were not enough towel racks or hooks - in the hall bath, only 1 towel bar & 1 hook for a bathroom shared by 4 adults. Not enough toilet paper provided in the bathrooms as well. Bed linens and pillows seemed a bit mismatched, and there were no linens for extra pillow in the closet.

Second Stay Review

This is my families second time staying at Deirdre’s home, and there’s a reason. Very easy check in, so close to the beach and a very family friendly home. Was great for my kids and plenty of space for making meals, doing laundry, etc throughout the week. A well stocked home too which is so nice to see! Hope to be back next year!

Spring Break

I have been to Kiawah many times but this was a 1st for my daughter and family. They loved the island. My son-in-law went crabbing for 1st time. Kids had so much fun at beach and playground. Heron Park is short walk or bike ride also short walk to beach. House was very suitable for a family. Very clean. Would recommend.

Kiawah R&R

Absolutely wonderful. Location, cleanliness, accommodations and hospitality of the host was fabulous. We have frequented Kiawah for over 40 years and this location and the Cottage was by far one of the best places we have experienced. Out host was responsive to inquiries and we would highly recommend this rental to anyone. We look forward to returning in 2025.

About the host

Hosted by Deirdre Winkle

Host profile image
My husband and I discovered Kiawah in 1992. We retuned in 1995 and came back every summer after that; finally purchasing our cottage in 2002. It is still our number one vacation spot with many great memories.

Why they chose this property

The activities are endless, the conservation and efforts to preserve the natural environment on the Island make it like no other beach resort on the East coast. As a private Island it has a safe and friendly atmosphere. Charleston just forty minutes away is a wonderful city with amazing history and culture, food and events...

What makes this property unique

Short walk to beach, private driveway with two parking spaces, one story wooded lot with deck, Easy access to bike trials.
