Great Kiawah Night Heron Cottage, Closest to Beach! Bring your Pup!
Welcome to your Kiawah Island getaway! This beautifully updated 3 bedroom Night Heron Cottage is the closest in the neighborhood to the beach – just a short three-minute stroll over to Boardwalk 18. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac within the desirable Kiawah Island Golf Resort, 4138 Bulrush Lane offers the perfect combination of comfort, charm, and convenience for your vacation.
Inside, you'll find three comfortable bedrooms and two bathrooms, accommodating up to seven guests. The King primary suite includes a private bath, while the guest Queen bedroom and a Twin-over-Full bunk room share a second full bath. Each bedroom is equipped with a large flat-screen TV, and the entire cottage is outfitted with upgraded furniture and modern appliances to make your stay as relaxing as possible.
The open-concept living area invites you to gather for meals, games, or a cozy movie night. A fully stocked kitchen makes cooking a breeze, while the gas grill outside is perfect for barbecues after a day at the beach. Thoughtful extras like beach chairs, a corn hole set, and a washer and dryer are provided for your convenience.
Outdoor living is a highlight here. The screened porch is a favorite spot for family meals or morning coffee, with its dining table and view of the surrounding woodland. Out front, two Adirondack rocking chairs offer a quiet place to unwind, while the sunny back deck features additional seating for soaking up the fresh coastal air. Underneath the rear deck, a charming porch swing invites you to relax in the shade and listen to the sounds of nature.
The location is unbeatable. You'll be within walking distance of the Sanctuary Hotel and Night Heron Park, which features a playground, basketball court, market, and café. A short drive takes you to Freshfields Village and Bohicket Marina for shopping, dining, and boat tours, or you can head into historic Charleston—just 40 minutes away—for world-class restaurants, galleries, and entertainment.
The cottage also offers a long driveway with parking for up to four vehicles, making it easy for everyone to come and go. One well-behaved dog under 50 pounds is welcome with prior approval and a pet fee, so the whole family can enjoy Kiawah together.
Whether you're here for beach days, nature walks, or exploring the Lowcountry, this Night Heron Cottage provides the perfect home base for your Kiawah Island adventure.
