About this property

Beautiful 4 bedroom/4 bath home with private heated pool, Discounted Fall Rates

Kiawah Island is a barrier island located approximately 20 miles south of the historic city of Charleston. Kiawah has ten miles of pristine beach and five world-class golf courses, including the famous Ocean Course. The island also provides over 30 miles of paved leisure trails, tennis, and plenty of family activities.

Our home was brand new in April, 2001. Features include an open floor plan with a two-story great room, hardwood floors throughout living area, carpeted bedrooms, and tile bathrooms. We just completed a complete kitchen renovation in January of 2020. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and appliances. Bed and bath linens are supplied. There are ceiling fans throughout the entire house, including the front and back porches.

Enjoy your own private pool that's ideal for families and goes from 3.5' deep to 5.5'deep. It's great for kids and adults and has plenty of seating area in it at the shallow end. The pool is heated from the beginning of April until the end of October as needed. The pool can also be heated at other times of the year for an additional fee if the temperatures are moderate enough.

In 2022 we installed a bar area heading out to the screened in porch area that has an under counter ice maker and beverage and wine cooler. The ice maker is capable of providing 25 lbs of ice per day and is ideal for those coolers to the beach or beverages at the house.

Enjoy your morning cup of coffee in one of the comfortable rocking chairs on the front porch. Spend the afternoon on the spacious, well-furnished back porch, which also features a screened-in area. Your whole family will be able to take advantage of the heated swimming pool (April until end of October), and should you choose to spend the day at the beach, it is a 15-minute walk or a seven-minute bike ride. You can rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower when you get back!


The first floor features a master suite (king-size bed) with a private bath that has a jacuzzi tub and separate glass shower. Also on the first floor is a bedroom (queen-size bed) with private bath. Move into the two-story foyer and up the stairs, and you will find two more bedrooms (queen-size bed, two double-size beds) that each have their own bathrooms and private balconies overlooking the pool.

If you are interested in entertainment, all 4 bedrooms have Flat screen HD Cable TV's. The two-story great room offers a large flat screen HD Smart TV, stereo, CD changer, and surround sound in the lower level with speakers for the rear deck. The open floor plan provides a steady flow throughout and makes it easy to socialize no matter what room of the house you're in. Have a sit-down dinner with your family at the dining room table that seats ten.

There is parking for 2 cars in the garage as well a plenty of storage for keeping the bikes and beach equipment out of site. We are also allowed parking of up to 4 vehicles in the driveway.

Kiawah is a great place to visit any time of the year with winter months being very moderate and beautiful weather for Spring, Summer and Fall. We stay on Saturday to Saturday rentals from mid May to mid September and are flexible on stays the rest of the time.

I had an amazing stay! the house, views & space was so beautiful. The pool wasn't always heated & the stove burners didn't work all the way but neither stopped us from enjoying this charming home. It was comfortable & so homey I didn't want to leave!! I will reach out for my next trip!!!

Week at the beach

Overall a nice week at the beach. Comfortable home. Kitchen well appointed with everything you need to fix a large meal. It was so hot that we spent more time at the pool than at the beach. Pool area very nice. Beds very comfortable. I realize it’s the end of the summer high season but the furniture could use a cleaning.

Family Vacation

This property far exceeded all expectations! The entire home was immaculate, inside and outside. We found it to be well maintained and well equipped with everything you could possibly need. (Even a cheese grater..) The pool , porches and bar areas were a big hit with my family. The bike ride to the beach was easier and closer than I had expected. (Two lefts and from there a straight shot!) Matt and his property manager were very responsive and helpful. Our entire family highly recommend this home!!

Comfortable Home with nice Pool

We were 6 adults and one 3 year old. Pool was lovely and Home layout was nice. Strongly suggest bicycle rentals for getting around the island and to the beach. Note there is no street parking to beach access points. Another suggestion is to play other courses than Ocean Course..have a lunch at Ryder Cup at Ocean Course on the porch. All Kiawahs golf courses are beautiful and well maintained and you can play 2 courses for one time at the Ocean Course.

Second stay at this user friendly property. Well supplied kitchen, baths, and bar setup with ice maker. Pool allowed us some time to swim even with the rain. We hit the beach every day, tropical storm or not. Did the easy ride down Alley of the Oaks in the rain.

Great family escape

Really enjoyed 5 days on Kiawah Island with my family. Staying at the house was especially nice to have our own space and kids really took advantage of the heated pool. House was as advertised and communication with the owner was great. Ran into one little issue with the pool heater and the owner called me right back and resolved the issue in minutes. Would have no issues renting again in the future.

Perfect Stay for Families

We had a wonderful stay as a family of 6. The kitchen had everything we needed, the house was the location we wanted for beach access, and having the heated pool was a huge bonus. We loved the outdoor space and the extra toys for the kids was very nice to have access to. We had to get in touch with the owner while we there and the communication was fast and easy. He also answered with recommendations for Easter dinner options before our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Matt & Kathy Cern

Host profile image
We started spending spring breaks with our family in 1992 and just fell in love with the Island. We bought our lot in 1997 and decided to build our dream vacation home in 2001. It's created so many family memories for Kathy and I as well as for our 3 children and now 7 grand children that can never be replaced.

Why they chose this property

We built the home knowing we would be doing vacation rental with it. We wanted to make sure that each bedroom had their own bathroom to offer privacy for our guests. The wide open and spacious living area allows for guests to spend time comfortably together if desired or find your own little area for some quiet time on one of the porches. It's hard to beat having your own private pool.

What makes this property unique

The pool area is very secluded and offers plenty of sun most of the year. Even in cooler weather it remains comfortable for sunning being so protected from the wind. The pool is very kid friendly with steps and seating in the shallow end.
