This house was perfect for our family vacation.
This house was perfect for our family vacation. Great location, easy walk to the beach even for our 4 year old and very responsive with any questions I had about the property. Getting in was very simple and checkout was a breeze. The beach rental credit was a nice bonus that allowed us to get plenty of items for the beach for the entirety of our stay.

Great home with convenient beach access
Though not a brand new property, this home was great: nicely decorated, clean, and comfortable. There was lots of room for everyone ( our group was all adults) to have their own space, or to hang out as a group. Pool was clean, and well maintained. Very convenient to beach and golf course. We enjoyed lounging by the pool, enjoyed meals on the screened porch, and dining room. Enough seating and room in the family room for movie night! Plenty of room for 4 vehicles. We would rent this property again.

Excellent property
Beautiful home, close to the ocean. Great pool. Many great amenities and excellent appliances. We were disappointed the first day when there was a sign on the stove that we couldn’t use the cook top. Our property manager came the next day with an electrician who got the stove working. He was exceptionally helpful. Overall a perfect spot for a family vacation.

Kiawah Island House Rental
Our family had a great time. The house was very well appointed, slept many, and was beautifully decorated. The pool came in extra handy as there was record breaking heat the week we were there (100 degrees on Memorial Day!). The beach was a quick walk, and the biking trails were beautiful. We would totally stay here again. The only change I would make at all would be to add another couch or to replace existing couch with a large sectional, but we pulled in chairs from the dining room and were totally fine.

This was a great place for our family to spend Spring Break. Close to the beach and plenty of room for 3 generations to spread out. Too cool for the unheated pool.
Only improvement would be in the kitchen. We are pretty serious cooks, knives were dull and pots and pans could be updated.

Our stay at 2 Nicklaus Lane was absolutely perfect. Everything was exactly as I had hoped, including the weather. The House worked out great with plenty of room for all of us. We all enjoyed the Pool, especially my Grandchildren. I couldn't have asked for a nicer location. We spent a lot of time at the Beach or riding Bikes on all the Bike Trails. We used your Rental Binder to preorder Bikes, Strollers, Beach Chairs, Umbrellas & a Crib for my youngest Granddaughter. Thanks to you and your staff for making all this possible. I would rate the overall experience at a 5 (10 if you go that high). Feel free to use this as a referral if you wish.

Melissa's wedding
This house was zamazing. My husband and I have four children. Three girls and one son. Melissa decided on getting married on Kiawah since her husband works for the conservancy. After looking at many homes we decided upon this one. The layout of the house was perfect for two of my daughters their husbands and children. Four grandchildren all together. The upstairs was so perfect the way it was set up. They had their own suites and there was still room for my 88 year old mother. The pool was a saving grace and the proximity to the beach and everything else was tremendous. The only thing I could suggest is having a third pillow on the king size bed or at least extra pililow cases for the extra ones in the closet. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone interested in renting. My family may be interested in coming again ths summer and will definitely contact you for another rental. Thank you for helping us celebrate a beautiful week in Kiawah

Vacation Success Story
My husband is retiring this year. We wanted to do something for our three children and their families to remember. We have two small grandchildren, ages 2 and 16 months. Since part of the family lives in another state, the grandchildren have not had a lot of time to bond. This vacation was a bonding experience for all and was a great success. Having our own pool and the quietness of mid September along with having a short walk to the beach, the golf courses, and chartered fishing made for a wonderful retreat and lasting memories for all. There's a rumor we might just do this again!
