About The Owner

We are from Pittsburgh, PA and love nothing more than getting away to Kiawah!

The Owner purchased this house in 2009
Why The Owner chose Kiawah Island

Our family fell in love with Kiawah over ten years ago, and vacationed there many times. We were captured by its natural beauty and loved the memories we had created. It only seemed natural to make this our 2nd home!

What makes this house unique

To be in the tranquility of Kiawah Island is to nearly be in heaven. We love the quick walk to the beautiful beach - it is wide, firm and great for biking. Its close proximity makes it easy to go back and forth during the day, or take a picnic basket with cheese, fruit and a bottle of wine at sunset...it doesn't get any better. The golf courses (3 public) are outstanding. We also love to rent kayaks and watch the dolphins 'strand feeding' along the banks of the Kiawah River. We have rented boats at nearby Bohicket Marina, and cruised the inland waterways. Charleston is 40 minutes away, and is perfectly charming, with world class dining, shopping and historical attractions. Touring plantations in the area is also a great activity. But relaxing on the patio in the evening by the lagoon with family and friends could be the best activity of all.

A fabulous oasis so close to the beach

I can't say enough good things about the month I spent in this home on Kiawah Island. I've been coming to Kiawah Island for 25+ years and this house and the owners are my favorite. The neighborhood is a gem with a pond, a community pier overlooking the beautiful marshes and very quick access to the beach. The house is fabulously appointed, has perfect indoor and outdoor spaces and overlooks a quaint pond. There is enough room for people to be together or separate for some quiet time. The location is fabulous and makes it easy to walk on the beach to the east end of the island, get some exercise, see the porpoises and find whole sand dollars. Many a morning started with a walk or bike ride on the beach followed by breakfast on the patio while watching the wildlife and resident alligator in the pond. And if you're a golfer, there's nothing that compares with the five courses available on the island, Several nights were spent watching the sunset at the Ryder Cup Bar at the Ocean Course. You can dine at any of the great restaurants on the island, off island or easily cook in the great kitchen or grill at the house, The owners were fabulous; they communicated regularly, provided all of the needed information timely and made the stay such a pleasant experience. Thank you for making my vacation such a wonderful experience.

We have been vacationing on Kiawah Island for 15 years and finally found the house that fits us to a tee. Well decorated- but still livable and comfortable. The kitchen and dining areas are spacious (all of the appliances work as originally intended). The patio is large with very comfortable (and soft) furniture and a table that easily fits 10 (we used it extensively and had a huge shrimp boil there one evening). The living space accomodates several people watching TV, reading a book or both (or snoozing on the sofas). Our kids are older now- but there is plenty of room for children's toys or separate TV viewing in the bedrooms.

The beach is so close that it was never a big excursion to wander down for a quick walk or the entire day. The neighborhood is quiet and then there is "Emperor" in the Lagoon- who watches over everything.

We recommend this house- but not for the two weeks that we want it every summer.

Hope To Return

This house far exceeded our expectations--clean, attractive, spacious and luxurious, comfortably accommodating 6 adults and 2 teenagers. The owner was very helpful in acquainting us with shortcuts to the beach, recommendations for pleasant walk and bike routes, restaurants and available shopping, including a wonderful vegetable stand. We loved the beach and the available amenities there. Riding bikes on the beach at sunset was a real highlight. We enjoy cooking and the kitchen was great--well-equipped and laid out. We enjoyed watching a local alligator from the patio. All in all it was wonderful and we plan to return. We highly recommend it.
