This is a wonderful home that was warm, welcoming, clean, comfortable, and everything you could ask for. We were there for a wedding on Johns Island and we all wish we could have stayed to just purely enjoy ourselves hanging out on the deck and walking the trail. Would go back again anytime, and may just surprise the family with that. Was just wonderful!

The house was wonderful! The pictures don’t lie. Location was perfectly located in Kiawah to get to all of the golf courses. The property managers responded quickly to our messages. Would definitely recommend this property.

We’re glad the house and its location worked out so well for your Kiawah golf getaway. It’s great to hear that our team was able to respond quickly. We appreciate your recommendation, Cindy!
Beautiful facility. Lots of room. Met our needs perfectly. Was missing a few essentials-coffee filters and an iron/ironing board. Needs some new powerful bathroom fans and probably a whole home dehumidifier on the hvac system to keep the mold away. Other than that it was perfect. We’d stay there again.

We're so glad the home met your needs and that you enjoyed the spacious layout and beautiful setting. We appreciate your notes about the missing essentials and suggestions for improvements like the bathroom fans and dehumidification—these are helpful insights, and we’ll be sure to review them with our team. We'd be happy to host you again in the future!
The property was so well appointed-pool floats, and towels were available on the deck. The kitchen was VERY welk stocked-to the point of a KitchenAid stand mixer! The house was pristine and Sweetgrass was super quick to remedy a very minor dishwasher issue. You will not regret renting this gorgeous house. We enjoyed our stay immensely and visit Kiawah quite often. If this house is available for future trips I’d definitely rent again. Thank you for a great getaway!
