This was truly a delightful weekend.
The beautiful home we rented at 25 Bufflehead was perfect for our all-girl weekend get-away celebrating a monumental birthday. The home was well appointed providing everything we needed and much more. The interior design was bright, cheerful and most of all comfortable. My 5 granddaughters their mothers and I relaxed in every part of the house: the kitchen table for games, the screened in porch for reading, the pool for cooling off and the living room for a glass of wine and engaging conversations!. My granddaughters loved catching up with their cousins in the bunk room which they shared and couldn't be happier as they rode the bikes a short distance to the beach. This was truly a delightful weekend.

I highly recommend it.
We have visited Kiawah many times and the house on Bufflehead was the best place we’ve ever stayed. Furnishings were top quality and the house was equipped with everything vacationers could need. I highly recommend it.
