About this property

147 Hooded Merganser: Home with Pool & Guest House, Bike Credit

Take advantage of special beach gear and bike credit! This Kiawah Island vacation rental features 5 bedrooms, a private heated pool, large gathering areas, and a main house and guest house. The recently renovated home is about a 9-minute walk from the beach.

The home’s lovely great room offers vaulted shiplap ceilings, plenty of seating, a flat-screen TV, and access to the screened porch. The great room spills into the dining area which has a gorgeous wooden table with seating for ten. Additional dining space for is available in the breakfast room or at the kitchen island. The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with two sinks, a Wolf gas oven and reclaimed cypress hood, honed quartz countertops and backsplash, and custom white cabinetry. You will find everything you need (and more!) in this kitchen fit for a chef.

Two of the property’s five bedrooms—both master suites—are in the main house. The first master bedroom offers a king-sized bed and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower and soaking tub. The second master bedroom has a king-sized bed and private bathroom with a walk-in shower and jetted tub. On the main floor of the guest house, there is a third master suite with a king-sized bed and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. Also on the guest house’s main floor is a bedroom with two double beds and a private bathroom with shower/tub combo. Upstairs, you will find the final bedroom which has two twin over twin bunk beds, a bathroom with shower/tub combo, and a family room with a queen sleeper sofa. All bedrooms have 4K TVs for guests to enjoy.

The home’s 28' x 14' saltwater pool is situated in between the main house and guest house. The large pool is surrounded by lovely landscaping, lounge seating, and a gas grill. Guests will also enjoy relaxing on the screened porch and the second-story guest house porch.

The home is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.

This pool has a gas heater, so the pool may be heated in cooler months for $75/per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available.

During your stay on Kiawah Island, be sure to enjoy biking on the 30 miles of flat bike trails, golfing on one of five world-class courses, playing tennis, crabbing, fishing, swimming, and boating. Many families also enjoy the kids’ camp and nature programs at Night Heron Park.

Kiawah Island is about 40 minutes from historic Charleston, famous for incredible shopping, galleries, antique stores, museums, the South Carolina Aquarium, horse-drawn carriage rides, historic landmarks, and sumptuous dining.

Dail Days at Kiawah.
We had a wonderful time with just a couple of small hiccups at house. Primary suite shower was clogged with standing water. Since it was late Saturday afternoon when we arrived my husband went to the hardware store and bought what was necessary to fix it. We didn’t report it to agency. A couple of big pots in kitchen would be nice for low country boil or pasta meals. Use of garage remotes would also be very handy.

Great house
Have been to kiawah 7 times in last ten years. This was far and away the nicest property we have stayed at. Close to beach, quiet area. Two separate living spaces made it perfect for traveling with two families or teens.

A little disappointed
Beautiful home but not as clean as I would have liked. We had 2 small children and the area rug in the main room was so dirty that we put a blanket down for kids to play on. The ice maker worked occasionally and we had no oven for the first 4 days and the property manager thought that was ok.
