House was beautiful and is in an amazing location! highly recommend.

Kiawah Exclusives | 4426 Windswept Villa
We loved our stay; the location was ideal, the atmosphere felt peaceful and private, and the view of the ocean from the bedroom and patio was divine. The kitchen and bathroom were especially lovely. We could easily walk to the beach and ride our bikes on both the beach and path. It was a short drive to fun night spots like 48 Wine Bar.

FRONT BEACH CONDO on Kiawah Island
This place is beautifully maintained, in a quiet and peaceful location, just a short stroll to the beach. Monique was quick to respond to all our queries. I highly recommend staying here!

3 Bed Oceanfront Windswept Unit w/ Views!
Place was immaculate- great views, very clean and kitchen well stocked. Loved the decor and good views of the beach. We can't wait to return!

Picturesque View in Parkside!
An excellent location with a great view of the lagoon, this condo was the perfect place to unwind with a week of Spring Break biking and beach walks. Comfy furniture both inside and out and a well-appointed kitchen made for an easy rainy Sunday as well as a few lazy evenings in. Night Heron Park and the beach are only minutes away by bike or on foot, making the Park Villas a convenient location for couples and families alike. We'd stay at this condo again.

1BR | Beach Access | W/D | Golf | Tennis
Nice place really close to the beach. Very comfortable with our only complaint being no curtains for privacy or from parking lights and no hair dryer. I would only suggest some blinds or blackout curtains and a hair dryer. Washer and dryer great additions and very nice location.

Newly Renovated 2BR/2BA Oceanfront Villa
Beautiful clean condo with a wonderful view of beach and easy access to beach. Cozy balcony to enjoy the view. We loved all the updates, especially the bathrooms! An easy walk to the Sanctuary Resort which is a must. And several beautiful golf courses within minutes of condo. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Marais Rose: Luxurious, Marshfront Villa
This place was incredible! The island has a ton to do, walks, bike/cart rentals, wildlife, the beaches are amazing, and soo much more! Getting in and out was easy, the entire experience was perfect and made our honeymoon better than we could have imagined! Would 100% recommend and plan on going back ourselves!
