palm bungalow
Our stay at the Palm Bungalow was lovely. It was beautifully decorated with comfortable furnishings that invited us to sit down and relax!
We enjoyed sitting out on the screened porch that offered a charming view of a pond with a fountain in the middle; a perfect place to have coffee in the morning or a cocktail before dinner.
Both of us highly recommend Palm Bungalow to anyone looking to relax and refresh.
This was the perfect place for our stay at Kiawah! Great communication, comfortable bed, very clean, efficient use of a smaller space, had everything we needed, and so close to the beach. Would love to stay here again!

Five stars all around!!
I would gladly stay at this villa again and recommend to any couple or small family looking for a quick getaway on Kiawah. The photos don’t do the apartment justice, it’s gorgeously decorated and immediately invites you in, feeling like you’re in your own home! My young daughters were fascinated with all of the pink accents. It’s very well stocked, we didn’t need to shop for any supplies at all. Also, we were pleasantly surprised to find the building is virtually across the street from the beach. It was the shortest walk to a beach access I’ve ever done without being beachfront! Thanks for everything!
Great stay. Perfect spot to relax and regroup. Clean and nicely appointed.

Cozy stay in Kiawah
The condo was wonderful. Perfect space for my wife and me for a holiday weekend visiting family. Very nice and comfortable furnishing. Location was very easy to get to and very peaceful compared to other areas of the island. Would love to stay there every time we visit Kiawah!
Palm Bungalow is an adorable one bedroom condo with everything a person or couple needs while staying close to the beach on Kiawah Island. The condo is beautifully decorated and very clean. The walk to the beach takes only a few minutes, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The trip to Freshfields Village (with a Harris Teeter, shops, and restaurants) only takes five minutes as well! Communication from the condo management was clear and timely. Definitely a great place to stay!

Winter at Palm Bungalow
We had a great stay in this comfortable and quiet apartment. It is very well equipped. The bed was excellent. It is just a few minutes to the beach. One small down side: the dining table is small and the bench where you sit to eat is low and uncomfortable.

Serene condo close to beach
Condo was well appointed, nicely decorated and very clean. Great use of space and very comfortable. Screened porch was awesome and had a nice fountain which was very relaxing to listen to. Less than 5 min walk to beach. Water pressure was excellent in shower and bed and pillows were comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Communication with owner and management company was excellent.

A great place to stay
My wife and I were enchanted with the bungalow as soon as we arrived. It is close to the beach and has all the amenities that you expect from your own home. Instructions to unlock the door and access Internet were clear and precise. The beach is pristine and the bicycle trails were awesome. This was our 30th year anniversary and I count the money well spent.
From start to finish Palm Bungalow delivered a five star experience. A fantastic king mattress insisted we have a deep, restful sleep. The fountain beyond the porch offered the effects of a soothing waterfall. Well-chosen chairs and sofa made for exceptional comfort while relaxing on the porch and living room. Luxurious bed linens and towels added to the classy and cozy vibe. A great deal of care went into the tasteful decorating. This is southern hospitality at its best!

Perfect Kiawah Getaway
I ran a vacation rental company at the beach for over 15 years. I am pretty particular :). I was very impressed with this Villa and the management company. The Villa was spotless , had a VERY comfortable bed with quality linens, a well stocked kitchen, streaming TVs, relaxing private screened porch and extremely easy walk to the beach. It’s also near the front of the island making trips to Freshfields shopping quick and easy. ITrips communicated all necessary info by text and email. I would definitely rent this Villa again!!!

Amazing week at Palm Bungalow. Loved this updated villa, very clean and very spacious. Very close to the beach!!!!
Our week long stay at Palm Bungalow could not have been better. The updated villa was fresh, very clean, had a nice island feel and provided plenty of space for the two of us! We also had a friend over a few times and space was not an issue with a pull out sofa. The walk in closet and king size bed is a plus. The screened in porch was the icing on the cake for morning coffee and a relaxing time after a day on the beach. Looking for deer and hearing the fountain was something we looked forward to each day! Oh, and the beach is just a short walk!!! The washer and dryer worked very well and the A/C kept us cool. Having a full kitchen allowed us to eat in when we wanted. There were also some games available we could play which was nice. We will be back as time allows!!! Great place and location Just bring yourself, everything you need to get your trip started
