RBL21-000213
In accordance with the Town of Kiawah Island Short Term Rental Ordinance, all guests understand that the approved number of bedrooms is 5, the maximum allowed occupancy is 12, and the maximum allowed number of vehicles is 6.

This spectacular 5-bedroom Kiawah Island vacation rental is located directly across the street from the famed Ocean Course, steps away from the beach access point, and is less than a 7-minute walk to the sand. With a private pool, elevator, and decks off almost every room (including a screened porch), this home has it all for a memorable vacation.

Enter this house and immediately be awed by the light and bright four-story staircase connecting all the floors. The main living areas are on the second floor. To the left is a sitting room, with sliding doors onto a deck facing the front of the house. To the right is the dining room, also with sliding doors to another deck.

Continuing through the house, you will find the very large main living space, which offers plentiful comfortable seating options, a large TV, and a wall of French doors opening to the sun-drenched deck and pool area, lined with lounge chairs and sofas around the large pool. The deck includes a summer kitchen with gas grill, fridge, sink, and dining table. There is also a pool house with a full bathroom and a ping pong table for friendly competitions.

The well-equipped kitchen features granite countertops, quality appliances, and cabinets. Step up from the kitchen to a copper-domed breakfast room surrounded by windows, overlooking the pool and deck. Also off the kitchen is a screened-in porch and office area.

The primary bedroom is also on this floor with a king bed, TV, and a private bathroom with a large soaking tub. The bedroom has windows on two walls and opens to the pool deck. All rooms on this level are equipped with a Sonos sound system that guests can connect to through wifi.

Upstairs, you will find three bedrooms with private bathrooms, spacious closets, and private decks. Two of these bedrooms have queen beds, and the third has two twins.

Another spacious living area with wet bar and TV awaits on the top level of the house. This level includes another bedroom with two twin beds, a full bathroom, and the living area includes a sleeper sofa and a deck. This level would be great for a family, or for kids/teens to have their own space.

Non-shedding, house-trained dogs under 50lbs are welcome for an additional fee of $50 per pet per day, with a maximum of two (2) pets. There is an enclosed dog run off the back deck, and the East Beach dog zone is a 7-minute walk away. Contact us directly to add pets to your reservation.

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

The dimensions of the pool are roughly 28' x 14'. Please note, the pool and spa are not able to be heated.

Guest reservations of 3 to 21 nights come with a valuable credit to use towards beach gear rentals during your stay! The credit amount for this property is $400. You may use your credit for bikes, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, and more – the choice is yours!

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.

This was our first time staying on the island so we were uncertain with alot of things but the location was great, it was quiet but could use a little remodel on some of the house. Overall we liked the old character of the house but some is outdated. We would definitely stay again! Great Family Weekend Getaway!

Kiawah Stay

The place had plenty things to do like ping pong, pool, hot tub. It was a7 minute walk to beach. The place was run down. The door knob to the door out to the great deck area kept falling off every time anyone opened the door. The third floor AC was not working when we arrived. It was repaired by 5:00 pm the next day but was hot as an oven the first night my family slept there. The third floor ceiling area was mildewed and you could smell mildew in areas of the house. There was a tv in 2 bedrooms and the den. Three bedrooms did not have tvs in them. The den which is the main gathering area in the house did not have enough furniture for my family to sit in. The outdoor deck/pool area was the greatest thing about this house. We did stay in that area most of the time. I would not rent this house again because of the mildew smell.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback of the home. We always strive to ensure our guests enjoy their stay in every way possible and are truly sorry to hear that a couple of areas prevented that. I have passed your comments to our team to ensure necessary action is taken to address the door knob and any smell that may be present. I am pleased to advise that we have found no areas of existing mildew. The third floor ceiling area indicated did at one time present an issue that has since been professionally addressed. Any areas their now, simply show staining. We are please that our team was able to address the HVAC issue and do believe that humidity from that being out for the day contributed to the musty (humid) smell. Overall, we truly hope that you were able to enjoy your time on the island despite these issues.

Would not rent again

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is in a fantastic location with a great lay out. We really liked the pool and deck area, but our rental stay had many problems. The house was dirty upon arrival. The garage was filled with debris and **** roaches. The kitchen was dirty with grimy counters, a filled dishwasher, and coffee in the microwave, and the washer and dryer were both filled with wet towels. Additionally, the house is showing a ton of wear and tear including peeling paint in all the upstairs bathrooms, stained carpets, and many of the shower and sink knobs are broken. One of the upstairs bedrooms also had several pieces of copper wire in the carpet that one of our guests stepped on, and another guest stepped on a loose nail on the pool deck. Someone manually turned the pool heater down to 76, making the heated pool we paid for virtually unusable, and the hot tub broke in our first day. We had service people at the house almost daily. The absolute worst part of the stay was waking up to a cockroach crawling on one of our arms at night, and seeing many other cockroaches around the property. Carpets and bedding were stained. I would not rent this property again, unless the owners were willing to give it a serious overhaul.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 July 2023
We are sorry to hear of your disappointment in the home. From our records, I do see that we addressed everything brought to our attention during your stay. The only thing we were not able to address that we reported was dis issue with the spa jets. While the heat was working properly, the part of the pump that controls the jets did break and involved a larger more in-depth fix. I am pleased to advise that other guests do not have appeared to report similar complaints, and thus do believe the cleanliness issues to be an isolated incident. I have passed your comments to our property management team to housekeeping partners to address accordingly.
