Stunning Marsh Views

This stay was last minute and a holiday week. The owner got in touch with us soon after booking and gave us all the info we needed to enjoy our stay. We've stayed on Kiawah numerous times, and this property did not disappoint. The back deck is wonderful for enjoying the views of the marsh. Inside the layout is perfect for a group with space for gathering and enoigh privacy to quietly relax. Having bikes available was an added bonus.

Girls Trip!

I would have given the property a higher rating and REALLY wanted too given that John the owner was so responsive and communicative. However, the place needs some attention. We think a good coat of paint on the inside, fixing some of the mechanical issues like the dishwasher, shower heads, clean the carpets, replace some carpets with new flooring, a good deep cleaning, etc would go a long way. We absolutely loved the view, the house, the location, etc. It truly is magical but just needs some maintenance attention or a major facelift bringing it back to outstanding which will then match the rates and competition in the area. I truly wanted to give John 5 stars across the board but in fairness cannot do that.

Amazing home

Our family of 8 (parents, 3 adult “kids” and their spouses) gathered for a 60th wedding anniversary and 80th bday celebration. We found this amazing place to call home for 4 nights. The home is charming very comfortable and spacious with a good floor plan and a well stocked kitchen for folks who enjoy cooking. Communication with John, the owner was terrific and he was always timely and responsive to any questions we had. We especially enjoyed the bikes to ride to the beach along a beautiful paved trail. Golfing was not a part of our trip but would have been wonderful!! We enjoyed some fun Charleston activities so be prepared for a 50 min or so drive to the city. However it was so worth the drive “home” …. home to peace and quiet except, gentle breezes and beautiful sunsets!! As John said to me, once you are home you won’t want to go out again. So true! Highly recommend this home.
