Fresh off a complete renovation, 578 Oyster Rake is situated on a quiet street within walking or biking distance to many of Kiawah's amenities, including the 10-mile beach, Cougar Point golf course, and Freshfields Village, this move-in ready getaway evokes a wonderful cottage feel.
Surrounded by Lowcountry trees filled with songbirds, the property abuts a Kiawah Conservancy lot that will never be developed and enjoys an added sense of privacy. This lot is on one of the oldest sections of maritime forest on the Island with very large and diverse old growth trees on some of the highest ground on Kiawah.
A welcoming covered front porch that leads to the front entrance wraps partially around the home, offering ample shaded space to relax and enjoy afternoon tea. Out back, multiple covered and open-air living spaces provide endless opportunities to enjoy summer days. There is also a fenced in area in the backyard that is perfect for outside games, it has cornhole and a putting green but you can also rent outdoor games from one of our recommended vendors.
The living room features honey toned hardwood floors, a large fireplace, and a tall tray ceiling. Open to the kitchen and dining room, the space is surrounded by picture windows that drink in abundant natural light and serene woods views. French doors open out to the screened porch and deck beyond.
The screened porch with beadboard ceiling and paddle fan is open to the living room, and offers access outside to the back deck, and serves as a shaded refuge. The expansive back deck provides plenty of open air spaces perfect for enjoying morning coffee, dining al fresco, hosting a cookout, and entertaining family and friends.
Fully equipped with the latest in high end appliances, the bright kitchen was fully renovated in 2023. There is a built in eat-in kitchen dining table just perfect for enjoying a breakfast together before hitting the beach, course, or courts.
The first floor master enjoys hardwood floors, space for a sitting area, large closets, light filled picture windows.

Reviewer Comments:
House was perfect, my wife wants me to buy it.Very clean and modern. Beds were more comfortable than our beds at home and master bath shower was beautiful
We had a great stay at this property. It was clear this home had a complete renovation and everything was new. It is easy to access the beach by a short bike ride or drive if you are carrying large coolers/chairs. We look forward to visiting again soon.
The house and accommodations were perfect. Completely renovated. Full baths in each of the 3 bedrooms. But the real Jewel is Kiawah Beach and the community itself. The island is pristine. And aside from the gorgeous beaches
The home was perfectly outfitted with everything we needed to enjoy a long weekend. Immaculately kept; super comfortable beds; and fully outfitted kitchen. We usually prefer a house with a view but this felt like a "tree top" location surrounded by such lush plantings. We had an unexpected cold snap and the property manager was all over it! Answer our request for help with the heat within minutes and had it fixed very quickly. Can't ask for more than that! Highly recommend. Very spacious master and the upstairs queen bunk room is adorable, too!

The house is freshly remodeled and clean and bright. Very fun to have the putting greens on the deck. Good layout and ESPM provided prompt service (there in two hours) when we had a small issue.
