Recent Kiawah Island guest reviews

The unit was just as I expected. Very clean and organized. Just a few minutes walk to the beach. Island was quiet as usual. This year had a bald eagle outside every morning looking for some food in the lagoon. Would recommend this unit to anyone that is traveling to Kiawah.

Awesome place!

We arrived at the tail end of hurricane Helene. Our travel plans precluded us getting there during daylight, so we didn’t get to see the beauty of the property until the next morning. This is a very well equipped home with all kinds of cooking utensils in the kitchen. There was enough to make a homemade dinner as well as baked goods, we needed to do this as we are visiting our son at The Citadel and homemade meals were a must! I would point out the “Freshfield” area 2.5 miles prior to your arrival as a cell stocked shopping area, we only found it upon our departure. Also, I would recommend a “fire stick” or other device as the home has only basic cable , but outstanding internet. This is a great getaway home, the beach walk is lovely and looked extra beautiful when we awoke after Hurricane Helene had passed. This is the perfect distance from Charleston if you want to be close but not consumed by the town. We will be back! Thank you!
