We were in SC for a wedding on Johns Island and decided to stay here on Kiawah Island for a mini-vacay. Everything was great with the house and the area. Beautiful lagoon view, great walking and biking paths, loved the beach. We will be coming back.

My family of seven from MN had a wonderful time staying here for a family wedding. The kids loved the freedom afforded by all the living space, bunk beds were a hit ( no fighting over who gets top bunk) and we loved seeing all the wildlife in the lagoon. We cannot wait to return!

We really enjoyed our stay in this house. What a great house that let us all spread out, but then we could all gather on the back deck or play games in the dining room. We really enjoyed exploring the restaurants, the beach, and the beautiful drive into Charleston. We really appreciated the top notch house and gerat customer service. Thanks for a terrific time!
Came for a golf trip with several couples. We had three couples and one single at this house. It was a perfect set up. House was very clean and in great condition. Everything we needed was there. Customer service was excellent and all questions were answered promptly.
