Perfect Kiawah house! New construction, steps to beach w/pool, gorgeous decor
Stunning Sea Lavender Court home (featured in Southern Living Magazine) offers the unique opportunity to rent new construction in an established community just across the street from the beach. This shingle-style cottage claims prime placement in the Oceanwoods neighborhood. Directly across from the street from Kiawah’s 10-mile beach, it is enveloped in the sounds of the surf, carried along on the direct southerly breezes. • A canopied landscape of magnificent live oaks surrounds the property and a leisure trail from the back lawn leads to direct beach access. • Maximal enjoyment of the temperate Island climate will come courtesy of a pool and deck off the main living floor, and the home’s ideal location is just a brief stroll to Night Heron Park and The Nature Center. • Home partners Lowcountry charm with state-of-the-art ease. The home features stone and hardwood flooring, 10-foot ceilings, and generous trim and moldings bringing a warmth and character to the design aesthetic of the cottage. • Artful touches include a vaulted ceiling in the living and dining areas and a beautiful exposed beam ceiling in the main floor master bedroom. Bath and shower fixtures will bear the Grohe, Barclay and Kohler signatures and top-of-the-line Rinai-type tank-less water heaters will provide maximum efficiency for guests. • The home’s kitchen, replete with Kitchen-Aid top-tier appliances and Shaw’s Original farmhouse sink, will inspire culinary endeavors while speakers built into the living room and deck aim to promote ease in entertaining. The dining room and kitchen island allows seating for many. • Three bedrooms with attached baths on the second floor (a king bed, a queen bed, and the third has two twin beds) will welcome extended family and guests while the master bedroom’s main floor location will constitute a private retreat for it’s residents (complete with California king bed!) • Cable tv's will have HDMI hookups for dvd's, computers, etc along with wifi internet access throughout the property. • Property was professionally decorated by local interior designer Erin Glennon. Erin received her Masters degree in interior design from the George Washington University in Washington, D.C., and her experience in luxury hospitality design has greatly shaped her style in residential interiors: comfortable yet sophisticated. Inspired by her Charleston and Kiawah Island surroundings, Erin’s designs demonstrate an airy palette with subtle pops of color. • Fresh off the success of his sold-out Cypress Point neighborhood, architect, Mitch LaPlante furthers his dedication to superior design and construction with this Sea Lavender Cottage. Guided by a passion for easy living and conservation, LaPlante has been designing homes on Kiawah and surrounding communities for two decades.

Great property, very clean and nicely furnished. Very well equipped kitchen and we loved the proximity to the beach. We look forward to a return visit!
Beautiful, clean, comfortable home. Stocked kitchen. So close to the beach - a very short, easy walk. We loved our stay!

This is a beautiful property, in a primo location just steps from the beach. The house was spotless! It has a well stocked kitchen, plenty of books and games. We heated the pool during our stay which was lovely. We truly appreciated everything this unit has to offer. We would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Getaway
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home. The décor was very tastefully done. Great location to walk to the beach. The home was very clean and organized and the property owner/management company were very responsive and accomodating. We did not use the pool since it was a chilly weekend but it is small and quaint. We did enjoy the back porch and grill. There is plenty of space to bring our family on our next trip.

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay at the home! The Kiawah Island architectural review board has strict regulations which do not allow much room for creative paint colors and architecture. The goal is for the exteriors of the properties to fit into the scenery and have more natural palettes.

The house was extremely comfortable, clean, and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was well stocked and we had everything we needed to cook dinner. The location was great- just a quick walk and we were on the beach. The pool and the deck were fantastic too especially on days when we wanted to get out of the sun and wind and enjoy the shade. Renting bikes was a great decision - we were out on them multiple times a day and the bike trails are very close to this location. We would definitely rent this property again in the future.

Our 2 week stay at 423 Sea Lavender was another wonderful trip to Kiawah, where we have been vacationing since 1981. This home was a great location and the best equipped kitchen of any place we have ever rented in all our times at Kiawah. Everything was very clean, the rental staff was professional and thoughtful. Our only suggestion for improvement would be the upholstered living room furniture, especially the 2 couches. They are both worn and in need of replacement to the point of being uncomfortable, in our opinion.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Apr 2024
Thank you so much for your helpful feedback, we're so glad you enjoyed the house! The homeowners have thoughtfully equipped the home with guests in mind to ensure it stays well stocked and very comfortable. The living room furniture cushions are not firm ones, they are more of a denim/soft plush style so they may be softer than in other properties but we want to ensure the comfort of every guest and are always open to suggestions, thank you and we hope you will be back soon!

My family and I stayed for 19 days during the COVID lockdown in the Fall and it was exactly what we were looking for. The location of the house itself is great. Access to the beach is very easy (3 minute walk) and it is about a 20-minute bike ride to Freshfields market. We would also recommend making the 20-minute drive to have dinner and drinks at the Ryder Cup Bar at The Ocean Course. The house itself had plenty of room for us to spread out and the kitchen was well equipped. The only negative was the speed of the internet. It is very slow so if you are planning to have any Zoom or video calls be prepared for them to not work.

Overall we were pleased with the home. The ice maker does not work properly, and we needed to buy ice all week. The grill is a bit too small for the size of the house and is located in a poor location. If someone is grilling, you can’t open the door to go out onto the deck without risking someone falling down the stairs. Mold in the showers (especially the master) needs to be cleaned. Providing the beach chairs and coolers was great. Kitchen was well stocked to allow for cooking in several evenings.

Thank you so much for the feedback! The ice maker has now been repaired, the part was on back order but is ready to go, I apologize about that. The grill is new and most of our guests have enjoyed using it, this is the first complaint I've received about the size and location, its out of the way of the pool area and easy to get to from the kitchen area, its a very efficient Weber grill. The showers do get bleached/cleaned thoroughly between each guest and we also get them steam cleaned and the grout redone regularly as well. The beach chairs, games, toys, coolers, etc are stocked by the homeowner and is a great feature and rare in most Kiawah vacation homes, definitely a nice touch to help with our guests' enjoyment! The kitchen is great, its been featured in Southern Living and also a few cookbooks as well. We are glad overall you enjoyed your stay in the home.

Hello-We love Sea Lavender and have booked I think 4 times now and have rented with ESPM now 5 times. We debated if we should call about all of this, but we are starting to see signs of neglect at Sea Lavender and hate that because we love the home. We truly love the home’s feel. Decor and location, renting with ESPM and recommend ESPM to friends. This was our first experience where things were just not fantastic. When we arrived the refrigerator was not working nor was the freezer-we did not discover this however until we bought a weeks worth of groceries. The on call maintenance person was very helpful. We were able to fix it but had to reload all of our groceries in coolers and move things to garage freezer over night to ensure it worked-we didn’t find out until the morning that it worked. We waited for a few hours the next morning for the maintenance person and they never showed. Since the fix worked we didn't want to take more time, but were surprised they never came to the house or followed up. Some other things that were not working properly are in the primary bedroom shower. The shower did not drain -we were always in standing water while bathing, the sinks are not working with water spraying from the faucets in that bathroom. Also in the kitchen the right front burner on the stove is also not working with only half of it lighting. There were other things as well but minor. We were able to manage all of it but we absolutely love this house and it made us sad to see the issues. The only other thing to note is that when we arrived it also didn’t seem as if it was cleaned thoroughly. We found a contact lens on the floor in the primary bathroom, one bedroom was very dusty not seeming to be touched, the cleaning staff left a bag of towels in the family room upstairs and the kitchen counters felt sandy. We don’t like to complain but felt all of these things were worth sharing because we want to come back and hope
