Kiawah Island Vacation Rentals

Want to plan the perfect South Carolina getaway? Kiawah Island, South Carolina, is a barrier island that has 10 miles of pristine beaches and 30 miles of paved biking trails to explore the natural beauty of the Lowcountry. Located just 25 miles from Charleston, Akers Ellis Rentals manages an extensive variety of Kiawah Island vacation rentals, including private homes, cottages, and villas. Whether you're visiting for a romantic getaway, a family retreat, or playing at one of the world-class golf courses in the area, our goal is to provide our guests with vacation experiences to last a lifetime. We offer vacation rentals on Kiawah Island with water views, homes with private pools, luxury properties, oceanfront rentals, pet-friendly options, and much more. Plus, reservations of 3 to 21 nights in eligible properties receive a valuable credit to use towards beach gear rentals during your stay. Guests enjoy our express, contactless check-in process so they may start their vacations upon arrival to Kiawah Island.

How far in advance should I book a Kiawah Island vacation rental?

Kiawah Island is a wonderful place to visit all year round. With beautiful surroundings and a mild climate, visitors enjoy the island throughout all months. During peak season, booking 6-8 months in advance is recommended to secure the perfect rental for you!

Are rentals located near the beach?

The Island is 13 miles long with 10 miles of the beach. Therefore, all vacation rentals on Kiawah Island are in close proximity to the beach. Oceanfront and ocean view properties are closest to beach access, and other rentals in Kiawah Island communities are just a short walk or bike ride away. (There is very limited public parking near the beach, so we advise walking or biking.)

Is parking available at Kiawah Island vacation rentals?

Parking is available at Kiawah Island rentals. Number of available parking spaces will depend on the specific rental (see property details for more information). All visitors must receive a parking pass to stay on the Island.
