This Kiawah Island vacation rental boasts 5 bedrooms, a private pool, views of the marsh, and is a 7-minute walk to the beach. The home features over 3,500 square feet of beautiful indoor and outdoor space.

The living room features a comfortable sofa and four cozy chairs, large flat-screen TV, and access to the screened porch. The light-filled dining area offers a long table with seating for ten. The stunning gourmet kitchen showcases marble countertops, large island with bar seating for four, Subzero refrigerator, Wolf oven, microwave, and gas range, a wine refrigerator, and access to the pool deck.

The first floor offers 3 bedrooms, including two suites. The first primary suite features a king bed, chaise lounge, flat-screen TV, private deck overlooking the marsh, and bathroom with two vanities, soaking tub, and shower. The secondary suite offers a king bed, two cozy chairs, wall-mounted flat-screen TV, access to the pool deck, and bathroom with shower. A queen bedroom features a flat-screen TV, access to the pool deck, and bathroom with shower/tub combination. The second floor offers two additional bedrooms. One bedroom offers 2 queen beds, flat-screen TV, and bathroom with shower/tub combination. The other bedroom features two sets of bunk beds (offering 4 twin beds), two cozy chairs for reading or watching the wall-mounted flat-screen TV, and a bathroom with shower/tub combination.

The home’s private pool is approximately 37ft x 13ft and overlooks the marsh. The deck offers lounge chairs, a table with seating for 6, and a gas grill. The screened porch features a floating sofa and 2 comfortable chairs. Additionally, an area of the lower level has been converted to a game room enclosed by decorative curtains and contains two comfortable chairs, rugs, and several game tables.

The home is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.

The dimensions of the pool are approximately 13' W x 37' L. The pool has a gas heater, so the pool may be heated in cooler months for an additional fee of $75 per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available. Contact us directly to add pool heating to your reservation.

During your stay on Kiawah Island, be sure to enjoy biking on the 30 miles of flat bike trails, golfing on one of five world-class courses, playing tennis, crabbing, fishing, swimming, and boating. Many families also enjoy the kids’ camp and nature programs at Night Heron Park.

Wonderful beach house!

Our family of 10 had a wonderful week in this house. Their was plenty of room for everyone and the bedrooms were set out perfectly for our group. The kitchen is very nice and has everything you could ever need for cooking. The pool is nice and the porch is spectacular. It’s an easy walk to the beach but we had toddlers so wagons were a plus. The game room in the basement was a nice spot as well. We highly recommend this home

The rental process was easy and the house was spotless when we arrived. This property is nicely decorated and well equipped. Although the living areas are not huge, we had enough space for our family of nine. I hope to return sometime soon.

Lush foliage and wildlife.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our yearly family getaway was fabulous! This home is beautifully decorated and comfortable. I love all the angled ceilings! The woodsy surroundings were quiet and riding bikes everyday proved to be everyone’s favorite thing to do besides the endless hours in the pool. Perfect!It could use a handyman to tweak a shower handle in the queen downstairs bath and the kitchen cabinets could use a little help. I’d suggest a really good cleaning, wear and tear from guests is hard on any property. Just some minor maintenance.

Bachelorette weekend

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating a good friend and bride to be. Ages ranged from 47-77. We cooked, swam, beached, rode bikes and spent hours talking and laughing. We also did a lot of cooking. The space was gracious and no one felt cramped. It was truly perfect for pie friend. Thank you!

Gorgeous Home

Better than the pictures, this house was seriously dreamy and perfect for our group of 6 adults and 4 sweet cousins. They loved the bunk room! There’s also a full basement with foos ball and air hockey that our kids got hours of fun out of. Pool was so wonderful, too. Don’t skip on renting bikes!

20 March Cottage - lovely September week

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at many homes on KI over the last 30 years. This one is one of the nicest - comfortable, beautiful decor, well stocked, close to beach. Only critical comment-baths and kitchen could have been cleaner on arrival; more palmetto bugs in the house than normal-due to poor sealing doors at porch and kitchen. Just needs repair. Otherwise house is gorgeous and perfect!

Housecleaning needs improvement!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We found women's underwear on one of the bedroom's floors when we checked in; drawer interiors were dirty; cabinets under sinks (bath & kitchen) were cluttered and obviously not emptied in a long time. Lots of cockroaches. Mold & mildew covered the showers and tubs. The cleaning staff dropped the ball!

Summer Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have rented from Akers Ellis for many years, multiple times a year and we are rarely disappointed. This property was no exception. The property was located in a really great location in a less crowded part of Vanderhorst. We especially enjoyed the screened porch, and the deck and pool had gorgeous views and was quiet too. Great situation for bedrooms as well; 2 King suites on the 1st floor was perfect!

Kiawah in March

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at 20 Marsh Cottage Lane in March 2020. The property was well loCated, just a quick walk or bike ride to the beach. Our group ranged in age from 18 months to 61 and the home was able to accommodate all of us well. The pool was a big hit with everyone, we paid extra to heat it (well worth the expense.) Really the only negative was the wear and tear on some of the furnishings and the lack of pantry or storage space for grocery items. We've been vacationing on Kiawah for years and always have a lovely time, this trip was no exception. The marsh views from the back of this house were lovely, very calming. The property management company was easy to work with and answered all our questions in a timely and professional manner.
