Peaceful Family Beach Retreat, 3-Minute Walk to the Beach
Wake up to soft morning light, brew a cup of coffee, and step onto the deck overlooking the peaceful lagoon. In just a few minutes, a short walk through Turtle Point brings you to Kiawah’s beautiful beach, where wide stretches of sand and gentle waves set the tone for the day.
This calm, beautifully decorated villa is designed for relaxed Kiawah stays with family or close friends. Natural light fills the open living area with high ceilings and reclaimed wood floors, while the living room flows easily onto the lagoon-view deck, creating a perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet evening drink.
The kitchen is fully renovated with marble countertops and premium appliances, making it easy to prepare meals together. Nearby, the dining area overlooks the golf course and lagoon, offering a peaceful setting for gathering after a day at the beach.
The layout works especially well for families or couples traveling together. Two king suites each include large TVs, walk-in showers, and serene lagoon views. The third bedroom features two twin beds and its own private bathroom.
Guests love the quiet Turtle Point location, the short 3–5 minute walk to the beach, and the close access to bike paths, golf, tennis, and The Sanctuary Hotel. Historic downtown Charleston is about a 30-minute drive away.
This is the kind of Kiawah retreat where the best moments happen naturally - morning walks to the beach, afternoons exploring the island, and peaceful evenings overlooking the lagoon.
Please note that the fireplace is decorative only and cannot be used by the guest.

Condition of the property was outstanding with very good attention to quality and cleanliness. Host was gracious and responsive making for an enjoyable stay. We would definitely rent there again.
We loved our stay at the vV. The place was exactly as described, very clean with updated furnishings. Well stocked and incredibly organized. Close proximity to the beach. Communication with the hosts was easy and prompt. We’ve added the vV to our “favorites”list and look forward to teturning
We had a lovely time at the Vv. The house was nicely decorated and very comfortable. Owners were responsive where we had minor questions. The best part was the location - easy 5 min walk to a quiet beach!
This place was wonderful. We have stayed on Kiawah for many years and never had this kind of service or stocked rental. The management was responsive to any call or question. I would recommend staying with Kiawah getaways anytime.
We stayed here for a week and loved everything about our stay. The walk to the beach was a short 3 mins. The house had all of the cooking utensils we needed. It was very clean and comfortable. I see us staying here again in the future, we enjoyed it that much.
Our kids had a late spring break this year, and we weren't sure what to do. I have to HUGELY recommend Kiawah in late April, and this house was perfect. The 3 minute walk to the beach made it easy for our kids to come and go as they pleased (ages 10-18), plus my husband and I got a "walk to" date night at The Sanctuary. The "check-in" deviled eggs are a must, if you like them (I got them all since am the only person in my family who enjoys them - lucky Mom!) and when we had a mixup with our chair drop off, Jeanette was quick to respond and gracious in her help getting it figured out. We will definitely stay here again! p.s. The dining table was great for a big, hard puzzle my 10-yr-old and I worked on all week!!
The communication with the owners was exceptional.
Wow. The house was first class, all the way. Minutes, truely, to the beach. The kitchen was so new, we consulted each other how to turn on the stove. I personally loved the ice. The water tastes great there too, if you want to save on bottled water. The kitchen was equipped with everything you would need but the owners do send you a list of what you can expect will be available. We had one question and the owner answered the phone right away. You don't deal with a company They really covered everything we needed to know.
This condo was nice and appeared clean at first glance, then we went upstairs to the master bathroom and the shower head was covered with pink slime and there was a bunch of hair on the shower drain. Disgusting! The shower had to have missed more than one cleaning to be that disgusting. The owner's response was "wow...I apologize." While I appreciated her apology, the fact remained that we had a nasty shower that we didn't want to use until it was cleaned. After much discussion, she finally agreed to send someone out to clean it. After three hours and no one had showed up, we went to the supermarket and bought some Clorox cleaner with bleach and cleaned it. Someone finally did show up to clean, but it had been so long I had just cleaned it myself. Not what I expected to be doing on my vacation!!

Thanks for the review Wendy - we deserved the poor rating. Our cleaning crew had a huge day of cleaning and clearly missed the master shower. In all of our years of thorough cleaning, and inspections and trying to be absolutely the best at cleaning, we missed that shower....and to add insult to injury - it was 5:15 on the night before Thanksgiving when you notified us of the situation. After speaking with you on the phone, I notified our head housekeeper. She was absolutely horrified that this had escaped her attention, but she quickly stopped her Thanksgiving grocery shopping and was in the car by 6pm. By 7:25 she was standing at the front doorstep of your property, but you had already cleaned it. It was an unfortunate incident and we tried to make things right as quickly as possible, but sometimes things don't go as planned. And for this I do greatly apologize.
What a great location within the island, and easy to walk to the beach!
The rooms were spacious and beautifully balanced. All the amenities were thoughtful and made the stay comfortable.
We loved our week here! Will be back!
Absolutely beautiful property! You should immediately book this place... mostly because you will never get this great of a night's sleep anywhere else! The beds are OUTSTANDING. The bedrooms have fabulous closets and built in cabinetry. Kitchen and living areas are top notch! Location is really great with short stroll to the beach and quick access to bike path. The reservation is through Kiawah Island Getaways and they are very nice to work with. Provided very timely details about payment and followed up with such great information about the Kiawah area! We were able to plan our trip with ease! Would definitely stay here again!
Can't say enough about both the villa and the management/communication both pre-arrival and post. The villa was perfect and was by far the most well-appointed rental we have ever stayed in. Highly recommended and we plan to book again next year.
The property was so clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well equipped and the appliances were high-end. The lovely decor was custom and professionally done. We enjoyed sitting on the deck overlooking the pond and saw an alligator and several marsh birds. It was a short walk to the beach to see the sunrise every morning and enjoy the wide shoreline. Overall, 5 stars!

Wonderful Stay!
The vV was a wonderful vacation rental! Our family of 4 absolutely loved the villa. It was beautifully decorated and had every thing you could possibly need for a great stay. The walk to the beach was so short; we loved the location! We were so impressed by everything. We hope to come back soon!

A beautiful villa in the perfect spot!
The vV Turtle Point was the perfect villa for our family. It gave us plenty of space and it was beautifully decorated. The villa was well equipped with everything we needed during our stay.
The stove gave us a bit of trouble but the management was responsive and quick to help us out.
The location was ideal - a quick stroll to the beach and a short bike ride to Night Heron Park and the Town Center!
We couldn’t have been more pleased!

About the host
Hosted by Jeanette Lawson
About Property Managers, Shawn and Jeanette Lawson (Kiawah Island Getaways):
Shawn's family discovered Kiawah in 1978 and returned year after year for two-week vacations. In 1985 we drove our VW Bug convertible to Kiawah and Shawn introduced me to Kiawah. I remember stepping over the dune boardwalk out in front of the Kiawah Island Inn and seeing Kiawah's wide, sandy beach for the first time - it was so brilliant it practically danced before my eyes. It was during this vacation that the two of us decided to set our sights on moving to this beautiful and fascinating place permanently.
In 1988 our dreams came true and our U-Haul rattled across the Kiawah Island bridge (at that time it was nothing more than a wood-planked bridge). For the next four years we rented a 1-bedroom villa, 4251 Mariner's Watch. Shawn was so thrilled to be living on the island that he applied for the personalized South Carolina license plate 'KIAWAH' (which we still have today).
In 1992, we built our first home on the island at 134 Conifer Lane. During construction, I gave birth to our first son Benjamin - he arrived 2 months early in an ambulance outside of the Kiawah Island Fire Station.
In 2001, we purchased our first villa, a 1-bedroom, beachside Seascape and Kiawah Island Getaways was born. Once we got our feet wet with the villa rental business, it was a like a fever for us. We both really enjoyed furnishing, decorating and maintaining the villas - not to mention the new found fun of meeting and talking to all sorts of people about Kiawah. Because we really enjoy what we do, other Kiawah property owners noticed and we started managing their properties as well.
Our whole family loves Kiawah and running Kiawah Island Getaways is a true family-run business. We personally prepare each villa prior to your arrival - because we want your stay to be perfect. We want you to fall in love with Kiawah too...and we know you will.
