In accordance with the Town of Kiawah Island Short Term Rental Ordinance, all guests understand that the approved number of bedrooms is 2, the maximum allowed occupancy is 5, and the maximum allowed number of vehicles is 2.

Nestled in the heart of West Beach on a quiet cul-de-sac, this Greenslake cottage feels tucked away yet is close to all Kiawah Island has to offer. The cottage offers two bedrooms, overlooks the lagoon and Cougar Point Golf Course, and has access to a seasonal community pool. The cottage is about an 8-minute walk from the beach.

The recently renovated cottage features an open floor plan that allows for a seamless flow throughout the home. In the kitchen, you will find stainless steel appliances, new countertops with ample space, beautiful white cabinetry, and new flooring and lighting. The light-filled living area has comfortable seating, a TV, and sliding glass doors leading to the rear deck. Guests can also relax in the adjacent sunroom, which has gorgeous views of the golf course.

The primary bedroom has a king-sized bed, balcony overlooking Cougar Point Golf Course, and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. The second bedroom has a king-sized bed and an attached bathroom with a shower/tub combo. This bathroom is also accessible from the hall.

Prepare to be enamored by the expansive lagoon views from the cottage's rear deck. Watch Kiawah Island's diverse wildlife frolic in the lagoon, dine al fresco, or simply relax on this open-air deck. The back portion of the deck offers lovely Cougar Point Golf Course views. An outdoor shower is located in the front of the cottage and is perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach.

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

Dogs under 25 pounds are welcome for an additional fee of $50 per pet per day, with a maximum of two (2) pets. Contact us directly to add pets to your reservation.

Great location!
Great location … peaceful Place was clean and had plenty of food prep items. It had been refinished so floors were creaking but not an issue for us. Golf course is mowed early morning but noise wasn’t a problem for us. Hope to go there again!!

Thank you for more amazing memories.
We have been coming to Kiawah Island for the last 20 years. It has always been one of our favorite spots. The cottage we stayed at was perfect. Easy to get to from the beach as well as the market at Freshfields and stores. We couldn’t have been happier. We can’t wait to go back and look forward to staying in the same area, West Beach, same time next year. Thank you for more amazing memories.

Great location very close to the beach and golf course.
Great location very close to the beach and golf course. It’s at the end of the street so you have a nice view of the pond and golf course on both sides.

Remodel was fantastic!
The remodel was fantastic!!! I loved the added touch of having LIVE plants in the house... This added a great touch! I felt even more at home... The location is our absolute favorite on the water. Excellent privacy, while super close to the ocean...We would love to see the bathrooms remodeled as well...We will return again and again. Thank you...

This property was perfect
This property was perfect for our needs. The location was perfect and the views were amazing. We spend most of our waking houses in the sunroom where we have great views of both the lagoon and the golf course.

Charming cottage

Charming cottage (without the kitschy beach decor that is so overdone), wonderful secluded location, friendly deer/birds/squirrels (and an alligator or two in the lagoon), and gorgeous beach and biking trails. Loverly!

stay was too short

Another successful vacation rental. Great view and wonderful house as advertised. The only problem, as always, the stay was was too short.

Lovely place to stay!

Lovely place to stay!

Peaceful, serene location with lovely deck on the lagoon. Herons, egrets, leaping frogs and alligators often sighted. Short walk to beach. Many windows for natural light. Lovely place to stay!
