First time Kiawah Island Vacationers

My husband, 14 month old son, and I had a fantastic visit to Kiawah staying at Mariner’s Watch. We appreciated how clean the cottage was- especially with our son crawling and cruising around nonstop. The walk to the beach was also significantly closer than we expected! The sand at Kiawah doesn’t have any rocks, sharp shells, or loads of tourists bringing food- so the sand was perfect for our son to crawl and walk (holding our hands) for long distances. He napped great at the house and slept well at night! We were able to rent a crib through Kiawah Island Getaways and it was set up with clean soft sheets when we arrived. When he napped my husband and I would play a game out on the screened in porch. The greenery is absolutely beautiful. The space was everything we needed as a small family. We also rented bikes and went on runs with our stroller most days on the bike path that connects to Mariner’s Watch. Everything was gorgeous and so easy… we cannot wait to plan our next trip back and would love to stay at the same or another Kiawah Island Getaways property! We highly recommend the Coastal Cottage at Mariner’s Watch!

Great Cottage!

My husband and I rented this condo for part of our honeymoon. We are from Colorado and although used to the heat, the humidity was too much to take in June. We paid a premium price to stay on the island and were limited in what we were able to do. We’re in our 30s and very active so physical conditioning isn’t an issue!! It was the temperature and humidity!! Several locals said that they’d been experiencing some unusually high temps the week were visiting. Thankfully The Costal Cottage at Mariners Watch was as great as it was!! We ended up spending most of our time inside! Our evening walks on the beach we’re perfect though! When we first arrived, the cottage was clean, inviting and smelled wonderful! And even better, the A/C was awesome!! The Owners took the time to pay attention to detail and had thought of almost everything. If you’re renting from Kiawah Island Getaways, you really only need to bring personal items and yourselves; and some standard beach items. Some guests aren’t able to do so when traveling from quite a distance. I will say that even though there are places in the village to rent bikes and beach equipment, with the price you pay for the Cottage, basic beach items such as chairs and beach umbrellas should be available to guests at no addition costs. The only other thing I would caution potential guests about is the unusually early check in/out times. You have the option for early check in or late check out but again, at a fairly steep price for just a few hours. It’s hardly worth paying an additional $100 just to be able to check out at the standard time of 11am. All in all, we had a great and relaxing time. The Owners are very responsive and have gone the extra mile to make sure it’s a place you’d want to spend a lot of time in if you needed to. Pros: Cottage itself. It was clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and had most of the amenities of home. Beautiful scenery and wildlife. Clean beaches. Fresh Fields Village dining and cute boutique shops. Cons: Heat and humidity (obviously not controlled by people)! Lack of standard beach equipment. Late check in and early check out. Extra costs for beach items, check in/check out…. For anyone who’s been, you know you’re already paying a premium for this cottage and island. There shouldn’t be a need on anyones side to collect or pay additional fees for anything that kind of fits in with the whole beach vacation vibe. Would probably return during a cooler time of year!!

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.

What makes this property unique
