Inlet Cove Paradise (#36)

Our Inlet Cove cottage in West Beach is a peaceful spot, an 8-10 minute walk to the 10 miles of golden sand beaches of Kiawah. If you haven't been to Kiawah, you haven't been to the beach! It is truly a paradise of maritime forest, 30 miles of bicycle paths, unsurpassed river, ocean, and marsh views, and a beach that can be enjoyed at any phase of the tide. We fell in love with Kiawah, and we know you will, too!

If tennis and golf are your passions, you couldn't find a better place to enjoy each. Kiawah's 5 golf courses were designed by Pete Dye, Tom Fazio, Clyde Johnston, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. The famous Ocean Course was Host Site for the 1991 Ryder Cup Matches, the 2007 Senior PGA Championship, and the 2012 and 2021 PGA Championships.

Tennis Resorts online has rated Kiawah #1 in the 2015 list of Best U.S. Tennis Resorts. Both clay and hard courts are available, along with fully stocked pro shops.

Our cottage is fully equipped with everything you will need for an unforgettable stay. A 55 in. Samsung Smart TV in the living room is accompanied by a bluetooth capable speaker bar. The kitchen has been totally renovated (January 2015). Cable wireless internet service is available, too. You can watch the ebb and flow of the tidal creek in the backyard from the screened-in porch or deck, or sit in the double glider at the edge of the house. Inlet Cove boasts a 25 meter swimming pool and fishing/boat dock enjoyed by our guests at no extra charge. Come and see why Kiawah is our new second home!

Excellent experinence

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this house. The owner thought of everything. The house was very well equipped and had plenty of towels and washcloths for all the rooms. The house was extremely clean and very well maintained. The owner had many games, puzzles and movies for us to use. The kitchen had nice dishes and pots and pans for our use. We will be staying here again and again.

Great stay

Great communication from the owner. House was easy distance to beach, pool, general store and a slightly longer bikeride to “town”. House has everything you need. Kitchen was well stocked with sharp knives and utensils. It was nice to be able to see where the tide cycle was just by looking out the back. Gas grill was clutch!

Satisfied all of our needs

We found this cottagr to be a home away from home. From a full range of kitchen utensil's and dishes, beach towels, beach chairs and a cart, and starter supplies (generous), to a back porch table and chairs (the chairs could be more comfortable), a recliner, a kitchen table and chairs, and practically new appliances. We have been in various cottages seven times over the years, and this is our favorite!

Perfect Kiawah Island Cottage

What a perfect beach cottage on Kiawah Island! My husband, son and I stayed for four nights, and had the perfect getaway. We loved watching the sunset by the dock and riding bikes on the beach. Carol’s home is so cozy and, yes, Carol has thought of every detail to make her home as enjoyable as possible. We plan to stay at this home again in the future.

Beautiful and comfortable

We loved this property! The location was beautiful and very accessible to the beach, Night Heron park, and all of the bike trails. We saw lots of wildlife including alligators, herons, and bunnies. Quick drive to Fresh Fields village for provisions. The Inlet Cove community is quiet and gated. Communication with Carol was easy and clear. The cottage itself is well-cared for, and stocked with everything you could need including spices, laundry, cooking utensils (with sharp, nice knives), extra blankets. Very clean and comfortable. The layout is perfect for a family; there is a primary suite with an en-suite bathroom and its own balcony, and then two other bedrooms on the other side of the cottage connected by a jack and Jill bath. There were DVD’s, books, and games, and we loved a rainy day sitting on the screened porch. Absolutely recommend this lovely cottage!

Book This Rental!

This was our first time to Kiawah Island (my two daughters, my mother and myself) and we loved every moment, including our rental. It offers a spacious yet cozy feel. This rental includes everything that you need and then some. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds are comfortable. The bathrooms are nice and the showers have great water pressure! We enjoyed playing board games that are provided, and simply relaxing! We loved our morning and evening walks to the beach which takes less than 10 minutes. Our host was terrific and I would absolutely book this rental again. :-)

The Best House in Inlet Cove

Our family has been going to Kiawah Island for the last 20 years. We have always rented in Inlet Cove. All the houses look the same from the outside, however there is a difference. This house at was extremely well equipped both inside and outside. I have to say the best ever we have rented. We are renting this house again next year.
