About this property
Best BEACHFRONT Kiawah Rates! Pup Friendly. Guests Love My Cozy Home.
Our home is undoubtedly the most reasonably priced house on the beach. The only thing between our front row home and the beach is the dunes, our private dune deck, and our beach boardwalk. (Few Kiawah homes have decks in the dunes!) Walk out the door of our home and access Kiawah's spectacular ten mile beach and the glistening Atlantic Ocean in our backyard.
In the house, you can hear the surf and feel the ocean breeze. Staying DIRECTLY ON THE BEACH makes your vacation much more enjoyable...(and there are fewer hassles). You can put your beach gear out in the morning and leave it all day. (Since there is no parking anywhere near the beach, folks have to tote their gear across the island...unless they're staying right on the beach.) It is a luxury to be able to walk a few steps to the house for a drink or for lunch, to take a break from the sun, to check on your family or catch the news (or, if you must, check your email). Our dune deck is a wonderful spot for morning coffee, happy hour, sunbathing, and stargazing (it has a big sky view). You can also take your baby monitor and spend time under the sun or the moon, while keeping tabs on your sleeping or TV-watching children in the house.
The living room has ample, comfortable seating (2 sofas; 1 converts to a comfortable double futon). It has Smart TV with internet access (bring your streaming channel's logins) and wood-burning fireplace. The dining room seats eight and has a sideboard. The kitchen is well-equipped and has a bar with three stools at the window. The screened porch has a small dining table and five comfortable cushioned chairs.
The master bedroom has a very comfortable king bed, two dressers, occasional chair, smart TV/DVD. The second bedroom has a comfortable king bed & two dressers, Smart TV/DVD. The third bedroom has comfy twin beds, two dressers, Smart TV/DVD. Two baths, one with large shower and one with tub.
Cypress walls and ceilings and hardwood floors throughout give the house a warm, charming, beach house ambiance. The yard is large with stately live oaks and palm trees and there is a two-car carport. The side yard is fenced for dogs & bike parking. The house is clean and well-equipped. We do not provide beach chairs (but chairs and umbrellas can be rented on the beach).
Strolling the ten-mile long, pristine, wide Kiawah beach or swimming, boogie boarding, or body surfing in the calm Atlantic waters cannot be beat. Birdwatching (pelicans, egrets, herons, sand pipers, etc.), dolphin and shrimp boat watching, and wildlife/nature watching (alligators, deer, bobcats, etc.) are restful pastimes. Surf fishing, crabbing, and shrimping are some of the favorite activities on Kiawah. Kayaks, surf boards, and windsurfing gear can be rented on the beach. Canoes and kayaks can be rented on the Kiawah River.
Bicycling is a favorite activity. Rental bikes can be ordered in advance and delivered the day you arrive. There are 30 miles of bike trails all over the Island. There is now a nice bike trail off the Island, taking you to shops, Seabrook and Johns Island. Bikes MUST be put behind the wooden fence from sundown to sun up. Bohicket Marina, right off the Island, has restaurants, shops, boats for rent, parasailing, deep-sea fishing, beautiful sunsets, etc. Picturesque Freshfield's Market at the entrance to Kiawah offers restaurants, a bar, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, soda fountain, bookstore, outdoor outfitter, fashion boutiques, banks, great grocery store, Summer concerts on Friday nights, local produce at farmer's market, and much more. There is more to do than ever on Kiawah... or you can do absolutely nothing!!! There is a never-ending assortment of activities in neighboring Charleston and around the Low Country (museums, plantations, aquarium, Fort Sumter, shops, restaurants, theatre, etc.). Guests rave about Two Sisters Tours in Charleston. Kiawah is a gorgeous, tranquil, safe island, perfect for a family vacation. We'd love to rent our relaxing beachfront home to you.
ADDITIONAL RENTAL INFORMATION: * Our home and property are Non-Smoking * Our home is open to renters' pet dogs. But no aggressive breeds are allowed. Dogs must be well-trained and well-behaved. They must be freshly groomed and must not come into the house wet or sandy. They must be on flea preventative. They must not get on the furniture. They must not scratch the hardwood floors or doors and must not pop out the screens. All dog waste must be immediately bagged and put in the trash. Kiawah has a strict leash law and alligators have been known to eat free-roaming pets. There is a non-refundable fee PER PET. Allowing pets will be agreed upon on a per case basis. * We strongly recommend that you purchase trip cancellation insurance to cover bad weather (such as hurricanes), illness, accidents, whatever, that might cause you to cancel or cut short your Kiawah vacation. Spending a few hundred dollars to protect your investment in renting our home assures that you will be covered if something unfortunate happens. My cancellation policy is strict and I do not consider refunds for late cancellations. * Find our home at GoogleEarth: Type in 3 Eugenia Avenue, Kiawah Island, SC. Our home is directly below the box, not under the box. (32 degrees,35'33.38'N is the house, 32 degrees32'11'N is the deck).
If you plan to rent multiple Kiawah homes, know that our home is for the use of those staying in the home only. Bikes & cars for guests at other homes must not be parked overnight in our yard.
One renter wrote the following regarding allowing dogs in our home:
"For anyone worried that a “dog-friendly” home would be covered in hair or smell like wet dog, I assure you that is NOT the case here. The house was spotless and we felt like our dog was the first one to ever stay there."
I love what one renter wrote to me:
“One word answers don’t seem adequate enough to describe our experience at Kiawah. Well actually one word does describe it, PERFECT!
“Was the house what I expected? No, it was better. I had never rented over the internet before and wasn’t familiar with Kiawah and although exactly as stated on VRBO all I kept thinking on the 12 hour trip down was, ‘It sounds too good to be true. A house on the beach and they allow dogs. Something has got to be wrong.’ I worried the entire trip down. I was ecstatic and relieved to find the house charming, clean, and comfortable. I’ve been many places but never felt so at home. We all felt that way, even the dogs…
“We definitely want to rent again and again. I didn’t want to leave and considered squatting. If we ever win the lottery we will make you an offer with the promise never to ‘tear down’.
“If a genie told me I could have any house on Kiawah Island, 3 Eugenia would be my choice, it is the only one that looks like it belongs there and feels like a home. Thank you so much for sharing it!”

I’ve always wanted to stay in one of the original Kiawah homes. This lovely, pet-friendly, beach-front property was exactly as advertised. It was like stepping back in time, with a rustic cabin- style feel, but perfectly clean and comfortable. We had a lovely stay!
Kay, our host was very organized, thorough and responsive to our inquiries. She also has a great style! The house is warm and perfect for our kind of vacation. The house is and setting are timeless.
This is an absolutely perfect, low-key beach cottage. The location is ideal. The home is comfortable and cozy. If you are seeking a no-stress family (friends?) vacation in a gorgeous spot, this is it.
We loved staying here! The house
was quiet and nostalgic for us, and the location was perfect for beach access back-and-forth with young children. We can't wait to stay again!
This is a nice home to enjoy the beach conveniently. It is cozy without being too fussy. The host is very responsive to communications and has everything set for guests to enjoy their stay.
The location is perfect, and the home is well maintained and comfortable. You definitely have the feeling of a beach vacation, being only steps from the ocean.
Very comfortable- relaxing- right on the beach with private access- deck great for stargazing- dog loved it - friendly deer and big rabbit- highly recommended
Wonderful rustic beachfront property; efficient access process; clean throughout; comfortable furniture; well-equipped kitchen; and gracious host. We had a great visit and hope to return soon! Thank you!
This house was perfect for our family. We especially loved how we could go straight to the beach without a car or wagon full of stuff! Cute retro vibe, comfortable beds, and well-stocked kitchen. I can’t find anything negative to say, and would recommend this house for those who want a simple and comfortable place directly on the beach.
It was the first time that we had stayed oceanfront at Kiawah, so we definitely spent more time on the beach. It was the perfect house for a family, felt like a home away from home!

It was nice having your family in my home. I do hope you will come again.
One of the original Kiawah homes steps from the beach with its private boardwalk. Cozy environment, exceptional communication with the owner. And delightful weather throughout.
