Great Location & Well Appointed

This condo is a 3 minute walk to the ocean and right by the Cougar Point clubhouse and the Kiawah conference center. It's very clean and feels like it has been updated recently. It's rather small but all you really need for one or two people if you don't plan on spending a lot of time indoors.

Everything was perfect. So clean and comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with dishes, cookware, and spices. An added detail of legos for our two year old and books for my husband to read.

Kiawha in the Fall

I hesitate to give the property 5 stars, because I don't want anyone to stay there but us! We live within 90 min of Kiawha and have been going there for years. This condo is the best for two people we have stayed in. The welcome book is terrific, especially for first timers. The layout for this size typical condo of Kiawha was unique and perfect. Many tasteful upgrades had been made. This place had EVERY possible item of use one could ask to be provided. It was very clean and in a great location. The distance to the beach was 2 min 27.45 sec - with a gait length of 20.5 inches and no wind factor in play :)

A Magical Vacation

Our stay at Kiawah Island was a magical experience for my family and me. The service we received was top-notch. I was amazed at how logistically simple the check-in and check-out process way. This villa was perfect for me and my family. The location was a few steps away from the beach. We look forward to returning next year.

We loved our long weekend in this beautiful home. We enjoyed the easy access to the beach and the well-appointed kitchen that offered the ability to cook at home. Our favorite spot was the tranquil screened-in porch, which allowed us to hear the ocean, feel the breeze, and spend time together off the beach. We hope to be back soon!
