Recent Kiawah Island guest reviews

Fabulous spot, minutes from the 10 mile beach. Well decorated and spotless accommodations equipped with everything you need. Many amenities very close by. I'd stay again in a heartbeat!!!
Sylvia L. | Apr 2025
Rented as a two family vacation where both families have young kids. Rooms are setup very nicely for one family to have upstairs and one family to have downstairs rooms. We cooked in each night and kitchen had 98% of what we needed. Both front and back porches were enjoyable and felt quite private with the amount of tree cover. 10 min bike ride to Night Heron Park. 1/2 mile bike ride to boardwalks 29 and/or 30. If willing to be 1/2 mile away, you can't beat this value I'd say.

We had a wonderful stay here for several days. Very convenient location, especially for beach access and for biking around the island. Good common space for hanging out, too.
