We had an excellent week at Sea La Vie! The place was very clean and well equipped. The location was fantastic with just a short walk to the beach! They also are not joking about gators living in the ponds. I enjoyed watching a large gator in the back pond as I drank my morning coffee! We would absolutely stay here again.

Weekend Getaway
Perfect location! Perfect weekend getaway!
Close to the beach and Kiawah golf course. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a sweet welcome gift of cookies and wine. The condo was spotless. The bathrooms were extremely clean and the shower water pressure was amazing.
This is a very nice 2 br 2 ba villa in a great location for an easy walk to the beach and instant access to bike paths. The villa was well stocked with starter items that got us through our 3 night stay. One thing to be aware of is this is a ground level unit with another unit directly above. We had a family with younger kids above us, who ran a lot and slide furniture around throughout the day. Luckily we weren’t inside much but it was fairly disturbing when we were in. Overall a very nice place with good access to everything we wanted.

My family and I booked this charming villa for a last-minute New Year’s Eve getaway and couldn’t have been happier. We had a wonderful stay - the location was perfect, close to both the beach and golf, and the villa had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. We especially appreciated that it’s pet-friendly, which made traveling with our dog so easy. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for a great experience!

Perfect Escape
Sea la vie was in a great location - close to the beach! You can chill on the patio with your coffee and watch the sun shine and the spiders make cool webs. The villa has all you need and is easy to access. A quiet area - nice to stay in.
We had a wonderful stay! We would definitely rent this property again.

Looking for a place to rest and relax?
Sea La Vie is a great place to catch your breath. In a world where the days can quickly become a blur, Sea La Vie is a great place to slow down. Allow yourself time to stop, relax and recharge. The entire resort is quiet, wecolming and serene. You can golf, shop, beach, eat out or dine in. You can bike the island or drive and park. A beautiful getaway that has become a favorite!

Great location, close walk to beach
We had a wonderful stay at Sea La Vie! It was the perfect size for our family and they allowed our pup to travel with us as well. We loved being close to a bike path. We frequently rode bikes to Night Heron park and walked (about 5 min) to the ocean! The kids can’t wait to come back. Thank you!
The condo was lovely, clean & well equipped! The beds were dreamy comfortable! Loved the showers!!

We enjoyed our stay so much! We were within walking distance of the beach or very shot driving distance to the public beach area. It was a nice relaxing, no surprise, quiet stay.
The no surprises part is important. All appliances, kitchen equipment, seating, beds, etc were in fine working order and easy to use.
Enjoyed our stay and would book again
