We had another amazing stay in Kiawah. The home was beautiful, and we would love to stay there again. We miss the salt air already!

Wonderful experience!

We had such a wonderful experience with this rental. My mom, two young boys (4 and 1.5), sister, and myself stayed here for four nights as a little spring break trip. The house was in tip-top shape and very clean! The weather was chilly during our stay, but we enjoyed sitting on the back deck around the pool and afternoon swings on the front porch. The kitchen was well stocked and had luxury cooking items. There is also a fabulous laundry room. The neighborhood is very nice, quiet, and an easy drive to both ends of the island. My one concern in booking this rental was the pool. Perfect for adults, but requires constant supervision with children. I was SO RELIEVED when we arrived and saw there are ALARMS on the back doors that lead to the back deck/pool area. I will note, you CAN take the batteries out if you do have an all adult group. Since we were traveling with little ones, this was a great, unexpected find for us :) We loved this rental and are currently looking at dates to return. THANK YOU for allowing us to stay at your rental! We created some fun, sweet memories :)
