Paige, we're so happy that you really enjoyed our Villa and can't wait to host you again one day in the future. We are big fans of Nature and that was one of the biggest pluses was having that Lagoon view that everybody can enjoy when with us. See you again soon
We had an excellent stay at this property. The home was exceptionally clean, beautifully maintained, and felt very upscale from the moment I walked in. The furnishings were comfortable, the décor was tasteful, and everything was in great condition. It was clear the owners take pride in keeping the space spotless and welcoming.
The place is well appointed. Every kitchen appliance you need. The location is perfect and really steps away from beautiful Kiawah beach. Close to the Santuary so you can stop for lunch. It’s so clean and the bed was very comfortable as well as the towels and linens. I can’t wait to go back. Hosts were great!

Thank you so much for staying with us Kathleen and we can't wait to host you again!
We stayed for 2 nights... check-in was easy. Beautiful interior, comfy king bed with luxurious bedding, kitchen provided everything we needed. Host responded to our request for assistance asap... we walked to the beach was peaceful and chill... definitely will come back... thank you Joe
I was a little worried at first bc there was not many reviews with it being a newer VRBO. However, the pictures on VRBO are what attracted us to it. We are so happy we chose this stay. The place is beautiful and the pictures really did depict the property accurately. We spent our mornings drinking coffee on the screened in porch overlooking the tidal creek. The beach was just across the street with such an easy walk. The location was great- close to Freshfields Village, Heron Park, and golfing. Joe was great at communicating with us during our stay. We can’t wait to stay here again!
This Villa was perfect for the 2 of us. The villa was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Joe is a fantastic host. He answered all of our questions/emails quickly. We would definitely stay here again. Only suggestion; directions as to how to operate the cooktop would be helpful and a few washcloths in the bathroom.
My wife and I live in Charlotte NC. I work in NASCAR and my wife owns an in-home lactation consulting company. We love traveling, to Kiawah more than anything. We have a daughter who goes everywhere with us as she homeschools and enjoys travel life as well.
Why they chose this property
We visited Mariners Watch on our first trip to Kiawah Island years ago. We absolutely fell in love with the location to not only the beach, but The Nest and Night Heron as well as The Sanctuary. Nothing on the island beats this location!
What makes this property unique
Our property is smart tech capable with your very own Alexa device to set the lights to whatever ambiance or music to your favorite song, all at the command of your voice. Were a fully updated and stocked villa with everything you need, right there available for you. Every appliance or kitchen tool is updated and quality brand. Nothing in the villa is second hand.
