The listing pictures are spot on. We loved the house the minute we opened the front door. We've been vacationing on Kiawah for the past 6 years. This is by far the nicest rental we've had. Large home but felt very cozy. Mattress looked new and was very comfortable. Freshly laundered sheets. Plenty of fresh towels. Hot water without much delay & great shower pressure. Well stocked kitchen with probably any spice you might need. I routinely bring a night light when traveling. There was one (motion sensor) in every room. Light switches as well as other amenities were labeled to save guesswork. Very nice touch! We loved the deck and the few steps down to the bank. A blue Heron "greeted" us the day we arrived and was a frequent visitor. Sam was a great, approachable host. I always read reviews before staying anywhere. Ditto to all of the complimentary reviews by previous renters. Wonderful experience. Thank you Sam!

Wonderful experience!

I vacationed with 3 dear friends at this lovely home on Kiawah Island. The place is beautiful, the beds comfy, and the deck is the best. The deck and deck chairs were the only things not perfectly clean (because they are outside!) but a simple wipe down with a wet paper towel and all was well. Our host Sam was so helpful with communications and we especially appreciated the recommendations when looking to spend a day at the beach. I would absolutely stay here again!

Girls Getaway!

We just spent 4 nights at this wonderful home on Kiawah. There was plenty of space for the 5 of us, with room to spare. This house has so many gathering places within it that we barely even left the property so we could experience all the space! The outdoor deck is perfect for afternoon cocktails and music, the large dining room table was great for brunch and card playing at night and the den was perfect for morning coffee and conversation. The owner, Sam, was so accommodating and helpful with all instructions and suggestions for things to do in the area. He was always pleasant and quick to reply. Would definitely stay here again!

Just Perfect!

The tendency when looking at places to stay at Kiawah is to gravitate towards the pretty pictures with the most modern décor styles, but I’ve found that there are things that matter and some that don’t. To start, you won’t find a more gracious host than Sam Hunt. You’ll find it in the little things like the numerous assortments of pillows to make sure you have a comfortable night’s sleep, or the best stocked kitchen on Kiawah. The architecture of this home has a way of making sure there is a nook for each of those special family moments to happen; whether it’s a vicious game of monopoly or the grandkids painting on the porch with their grandmother. I cannot wait to come back!

Soothing Honeymoon Retreat

My husband and I had been to Kiawah before and we wanted to experience it again...for our honeymoon. Having looked at multiple condos, we decided to rent a private residence for our stay and this home was exactly what we wanted in every way. The house is beautiful, clean and well maintained. The living space is open with wonderful views of the lagoon. The back deck and screened in porch were a nice amenity - peaceful and quiet for enjoying morning coffee and breakfasts while taking in the nature. We saw tons of deer, numerous birds and fish jumping constantly...so relaxing. The photos are true to reality, with everything as pictured. The owner, Sam, was wonderful to work with throughout the rental process, very prompt and more than happy to answer questions about the property and Kiawah - he has a long history and relationship with the island. The beach is about 7-8 minute bike ride from the house, which worked out great for us. The trails were easy to get to and enjoyable to ride, which we did most days. The house had some beach equipment (chairs and the like), but we opted to rent chairs and an umbrella for several days - it was just easier. We spent a day in Charleston which is about 40 minutes from the island - took the ferry over to the Ft. Sumter Memorial which was a must for my husband and had a spectacular lunch afterwards at Slightly North of Broad (highly recommend). Freshfields Village has some neat shops (especially the local pottery one) and the grocery is very convenient. We had an amazing time during our stay and cannot wait to go back again. We would rent from Sam again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Family Getaway

We had the best experience at Sam's house... The tropical bike trails were our favorite. It is a quick ride to the beach from the property. There is plenty of room in the house to enjoy time together or sneak away to a reading nook. My favorite part was morning coffee on the back porch and the view is absolutely unbeatable. Sam was the best host... He was accessible and quick to respond to any needs or questions. He provided great detailed information prior to our stay and a complimentary guide to help us plan our trip! Sam truly went above and beyond to make our week special. Don't miss out on this one of a kind experience in Kiawah!
