Description Description
In accordance with the Town of Kiawah Island Short Term Rental Ordinance, all guests understand that the approved number of bedrooms is 7, the maximum allowed occupancy is 16, and the maximum allowed number of vehicles is 5.

This luxury Kiawah Island oceanfront vacation rental offers three levels of indoor and outdoor living space, seven bedrooms with private bathrooms, a heated pool and spa, an elevator, and its own boardwalk to the beach.

The foyer greets you with a striking double staircase. Straight back is the billiards room, complete with pool table, comfortable sitting area, flat-screen TV, large bar with refrigerator, dishwasher, and bar stool seating, and access to the first-level deck. Three bedrooms with private bathrooms and a large laundry room are also located on the first level. The bedrooms on the right and left each feature a queen bed, flat-screen TV, and bathroom with shower. The bedroom by the billiards room offers twin bunk beds, flat-screen TV, bathroom with shower/tub combo, and access to the first-level deck.

Ascend the foyer staircase to reach the main living space with stunning ocean views. The living room boasts a wall of windows and dual sitting areas with sofas and chairs. The large gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a large island bar stool seating. The oceanview kitchen also offers a large dining area and access to the main level deck. The main level includes two bedrooms - one king and one queen - both with flat-screen TVs and ensuite bathrooms, as well as a powder room and a laundry room.

Two spacious suites, a common area with coffee bar and wine cooler, and a laundry room comprise the third level. Both ocean view bedrooms offer king beds, flat-screen TVs, and private bathrooms, one with double sinks, spa shower, and bathtub, and another with large two-person sink and spa shower.

Each level of the home has its own deck. The first level offers a pool and spa and stairs to the backyard and beach boardwalk. The main level oceanview deck features a dining table and chairs as well as lounge chairs. The third-level deck provides the perfect spot for soaking in the picturesque ocean views.

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

The dimensions of the pool are approximately 5 to 15ft W x 30ft L. The pool has a gas heater, so the pool may be heated in cooler months for an additional fee of $75 per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available. Contact us directly to add pool heating to your reservation.

The spa can be heated for an additional fee of $75 per day for the entire stay. Contact us directly to add spa heating to your reservation.

Guest reservations of 3 to 21 nights come with a valuable credit to use towards beach gear rentals during your stay! The credit amount for this property is $400. You may use your credit for bicycles, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and more – the choice is yours!

During your stay on Kiawah Island, be sure to enjoy biking on the 30 miles of flat bike trails, golfing on one of five world-class courses, playing tennis, crabbing, fishing, swimming, and boating. Many families also enjoy the kids’ camp and nature programs at Night Heron Park.

Kiawah Island is about 40 minutes from historic Charleston, famous for incredible shopping, galleries, antique stores, museums, the South Carolina Aquarium, horse-drawn carriage rides, historic landmarks, and sumptuous dining.

Highly recommend this house !
This house was perfect for our family of 16. Very quiet and private beach area. House has Plenty of room for 7 kids. Kitchen is spacious and great for a big family. The house was welcoming and very clean. The pool was perfect and well taken care of. All the appliances / ice machines worked perfectly and plenty of fridge space. And there was lots of beach gear available which was a nice surprise. The property manager answered any questions quickly.
I would definitely recommend this house. The only thing we didn’t realize was the kitchen comes with no staples. (Oil, salt/pepper). Other then that the House was well supplied. We had a wonderful stay.

Wonderful house for our Whole Family
46 Surfsong was a wonderful house for our family! We and our three children and their families had plenty of room, totaling 8 adults and 5 grandchildren. The house and porches presented fabulous views, inside and out! It was such an easy walk to the beach with benches on the boardwalk to relax in the breeze with an early morning coffee. The house itself has so much space to spread out, and large rooms in which to gather with the whole crowd.Very important, as well, was such professionalism delivered by Akers Ellis! We had a few minor issues and when called to their attention, was addressed immediately with satisfaction. Every member of their team is kind and responsive, as they have been in years past when renting through them. We have already booked with Akers Ellis for next summer!

This property was amazing! The location was beautiful, the view was beautiful, the house was beautiful, and spotlessly clean. The description of the house was accurate but until we walked in, we had no idea how spectacular everything was! Everyone raved about the house, the view, the bathrooms, the pool and hot tub etc. We would highly recommend 46 Surfsong to anyone!

Great Beach front Home for Large Group
We would highly recommend staying in this wonderful Kiawah home. We had a group of 16 and never felt crowded and loved the easy access to the beach and other island amenities. The pool and spa were enjoyed by all too. I would recommend this to clean, comfortable and well equipped home (plenty of beach chairs, umbrella, pool toys, etc.)

Best of the bes
We have been vacationing on Kiawah for 25 years and have rented one bedroom, two bedroom, and three bedroom condos, and private homes on and off the beach - this was clearly the most spectacular. The home and all the amenities were first class. Minor issues were quickly and professionally taken care of by the property manager. The only suggestion for improvement would be to use the $400 beach credit towards bicycles, and not chairs and umbrellas as you need to set them up and take them down yourself every day. We ended up renting chairs and umbrellas from the island beach service which worked out much better.

Oceanfront Home
46 Surfsong is one of our favorite vacation destinations. The location of the house is special because it directly faces the ocean and the beautiful landscaping gives you a good amount of privacy. It has beautiful panoramic views of the ocean from most rooms. The house has been recently remodeled and is beautiful. The kitchen is very well appointed. There is a washer and dryer on every level.

Best. Ever.
Sixth time vacationing on Kiawah Island. Third time using Akers Ellis. This trip was the best ever. Three generations, ages 6 to 65 and we ALL had a marvelous time once again. Akers Ellis was terrific .... responsive when things weren't quite right .... helpful for information ... made it very easy to check in and leave. We will never use anyone else here. Highlights were making t-shirts, the beach (of course), the pool (of course), riding bikes, Merritt from Pampered Palate fixing us two "adult meals" during the course of our stay, the barbecue at Mingo Point, the magic show on Thursday evening, and a couple of visits to the Sea Turtle Art Studio at the Nature Center. The property was very clean and well maintained and the proximity to the beach was super. We will be back!

Singing the Praises of 46 Surfsong!
Our group of 14 friends had a fabulous time in this beautiful home! If possible, the home is even more spectacular than it's photos. The home accommodated us all comfortably with lots of room to visit, dine, play games, cook and watch the Super Bowl. Beach location was perfect - sunrise and sunset views! Home is clean, beautifully furnished and conveniently located for golf and the beach. Main floor had a 1/2 bath which was not advertised- very convenient. Only suggestion for improvement would be to add a second dishwasher in the kitchen to accommodate so many fabulous chefs and wonderful meals made together in this well equipped kitchen! Akers-Ellis team were very responsive and easy to work with. Fabulous Home - created memories for friends to share for a lifetime. !

Vacation with Irma
We rented the house for our yearly family beach vacation. Mom, Dad, 3 adult children with spouses, and 3 grand children, ages 4 and 1. The 7 bedrooms were perfect and all but one adult couple had a king size bed. The house has been recently refreshed and is gorgeous. Very clean with high end finishes, lots of refrigerators and 3 washer/dryers.

Unfortunately Irma started making her way toward the coast after we arrived on Wednesday. On Friday the agency recommended we leave due to no commercial traffic or service on the island. We waited until the governor made his announcement on Saturday that there was no mandatory evacuation. We never left. Fortunately the grocery stores remained open and a few restaurants. We only had one and a half day of rain and didn't lose power.

We didn't get to do a lot of the tourist activities we planned, but we had a lot of family bonding over board games and food, and biking. The house is big enough for everyone to have some space. The downstairs playroom is perfect for the kids to spread out their toys.

Perfect for a large group on a beautiful island

Our extended family covers ages 9 months to 93. This beautifully decorated, meticulously equipped Kiawah retreat was PERFECT for the big Thanksgiving reunion wed been planning since the summer. Whether you wanted family time or quiet time, this 3-story behometh could accommodate. Large bedrooms, elegant baths, three decks, two refrigerators, heated pool and a pool table - wow! Did I mention the kitchen had everything, including tableware for about 40?
Still remembering morning coffee on the deck, cocktail hours by the pool and long slow walks on the beach. Hope I can return soon.

Spectacular Mansion At The Beach
My family and I had the most wonderful vacation at 46 Surfsong Rd. at Kiawah Island. The home was so beautiful and spacious with great ocean views. We all had our own rooms, and they were all beautiful, but the real jewel was the third floor master suite. It was like having your own apartment inside of the house. The kitchen was fully equipped with all of the essentials that we needed for cooking and gathering together for family entertainment. Having private access to the beach was very nice. We were sad that the week went by so fast. I highly recommend this one.
