About this property

Stylish Villa, Kiawah Island, Central LOCATION! Close to Resort Center & Pet Friendly!

This one-bedroom, one-bath recently renovated Mariners Watch villa is only 300 yards from the beach and has great nature and lagoon views off the large screened-in porch.

The unit has been refreshed with fresh paint, and a new master bed with a king size bed. There is a sofa sleeper in the living room, too. The open concept main living room, dining area and kitchen lead to the screened-in porch where you have a table and chairs to dine, relax, and enjoy the lagoon view. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there are two flat screen TV`s (one in the bedroom and one in the living room). The unit has a washer and dryer and wireless internet. It is also pet friendly!

Mariner`s Watch Villas are located in Kiawah`s East Beach, just across the street from Night Heron Park with basketball courts, a soccer field, playground, and Nature Center. The East Beach Tennis Facility is a short distance away as well as the Market at Town Center where you can get a quick bite to eat or a cup of coffee.

Kiawah Island is known for its natural beauty and extensive wildlife. It offers a multitude of family activities; riding bikes on the miles of bike paths, kayaking with dolphins on the river, crabbing and fishing from the dock, walking along the ten mile stretch of sandy beach, combing the shoreline for shells and other treasures, or just simply enjoying the island life. Of course, don't forget the 5 award winning golf courses.

Pet Friendly and Exceptionally Clean

This property is perfect for a couple and pup! I have never travelled with our Goldendoodle before and was apprehensive about the cleanliness of a pet friendly property. With all hard surface flooring, it was easy to sweep away any sand our pups paws brought in and he was perfectly happy to sleep on his towel on the floor. Our dog loved the screened porch where he could watch people pass on the nature trail behind the property. The unit has been recently renovated, with a beautiful bathroom and lovely bed linens, and had everything we needed for the week. We would certainly stay here again!

Amazing Kiawah beach haven

Perfect for two, this condo in a gated community was well-appointed, clean and cozy. Great location on Kiawah Island, close to the beach, golf, fine dining etc. The screened porch was perfect for relaxing at sundown watching the deer stroll by. We loved our stay here!

Perfect Get-Away

We had a lovely time visiting Kiawah Island! We loved the area the home was in as we could easily access the beach and bike/running path! The townhouse was the perfect size for my husband and me and was well-stocked. Loved the Roku tv in the bedroom. The beach is beautiful and not crowded. We highly recommend this home!

Great location on Kiawah

We have been coming to Kiawah for years and this is the first time staying in this unit. Overall we enjoyed the amenities, appreciate the dog friendly nature and proximity to the beach. The bed was comfortable and the rockers on the porch were great for enjoying morning coffee. We would recommend a deep clean to the unit as there was sand on the kitchen chairs, spider webs and the drain was clogged with hair in the bathroom. Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Lovely spot but could use some work

Good location, but the property could use touch up for paint, handles, and appliances. Needed a tub stopper, which was supplied upon request, but figured things like this should come standard. Hope they maintain the property!

Nice property

Having stayed in other units in the same complex this one compares good in most areas. It was clean, nicely decorated, very close to beach. However the kitchen was not fully equipped. The dishwasher and washer/dryer are old and needs replacing. The tv is too small for the room size in the den. Lastly the door needs a deadbolt for security reasons. The door now is just a door knob that could be easily opened by intruders.

Great little condo

Perfect for our son, daughter-in-law and their small dog to stay for a week while visiting us in Windswept. The condo is clean, stylish and the kitchen is well equipped. A few extra things would make it a perfect 5 star rating. - extra hangers - hooks in the bathroom and hallways for wet towels, jackets, beach bags - at least two luggage racks (there is only one) - extra towel bars in the bathroom for wet towels We provided our kids with extra paper towels, toilet tissue, Kleenex, detergent, dishwasher detergent and garbage bags as Sweetgrass suggested. We also took advantage of Sweetgrass’s offer to arrive at 2pm for an extra $50 and leave at noon for $50. A very nice perk! Overall, a great little condo for a weeks stay in beautiful Kiawah Island.

Friendly owners, great location, condo better suited for 2 people than 4

First of all, the owner was wonderful to work with and very helpful when planning our first trip to Kiawah. The location at Mariners Watch is perfect for a family that plans to utilize the beach as well as the pool and Night Heron Park. Although the condo advertises that it "sleeps 2-4 people", I truly think it is better suited for only 2. We had planned on my 2 daughters sleeping on the pullout sleeper couch, and my husband and I in the main bedroom. We had expected it would be "snug" and this was fine with us. Unfortunately, the mattress to the pullout couch was very thin, and you could feel every coil in it. Needless to say, it was too uncomfortable for them to sleep on, so we used the blow up air mattress we had brought with us from home. Also, when we first opened the pullout couch, there were dirty sheets on it from the previous occupants. We called housekeeping, and they brought us clean sheets, but they weren't too apologetic about it. The remote control for the TV in the main bedroom was not working. We replaced the batteries, but this did not help. Also, I realize that I was on a southern barrier island, and seeing a bug or two is to be expected. However, throughout the week, we encountered about 5-6 beetles and it just seemed like a little much. Overall, the condo is nicely furnished, in a great location, and would work well for 2 people.

4260 Mariners Watch Stay

My husband and teen daughters stayed Easter week. The good: Close to the beach - literally steps. Sliding doors open the screened porch to the living room Comfortable king bed in the main bedroom Clean with games, books, TVs and Wifi Nice kitchen appliances and cookware, glassware, utensils The proximity to the beach is fabulous, but this unit is also close the The Nest (for coffee, snacks, quick bites, drinks etc), a nice basketball court, and nature center. There are some needed improvements. Disclaimer is that we did not contact property owner or Sweetgrass about these items during our stay. We did not want to have to relocate our pets in the event someone needed to come to the unit. 1. Sleeper sofa is not usable. The sofa mattress is very thin with hard metal coils that are not padded, and the support sagged so that you could not find a place to lie flat. We could not use it. 2. There are pillows and linens are provided, but extra sofas in the closet are bare - no pillowcases anywhere to be found, and stained. I would replace with new pillows and cases, or discard. 3. The thermostat had a note not to set temperature above a certain setting. We obliged, but were uncomfortably hot at night. The inside temp was close to 10 degrees higher than the setting. We had to sleep with sliding door open with fan in front. 4. Windows could not be cracked to ventilate. The latches are broken and will not function to open.

Close to beach

It is a short walk to beach and pet friendly. We enjoyed having our dog with us. We would stay here again, however it needs some maintenance. The top rack of dishwasher needs repair and lights under kitchen cabinets did not work. The shower is in the jacuzzi tub and quite deep. It would be helpful to have a bar to hold while stepping out of the tub. Kiawah is a wonderful place where we have been visiting for 40 years.
