We have been to Kiawah Island many times. Our second stay at the Cottage on Kiawah, home of the Oringel's. This is better than a home away from home. As soon as you drive up you feel more than welcome. It is beautiful, peaceful,and just perfect. The beach is the perfect distance away - just a few minutes on bike or walking. I wish we lived in their cottage all the time. Also, Susie Oringel is the perfect hostess. We cannot thank her enough!

This cottage is in a great location, close to golf, the ocean and the private pool. It was very easy to get back and forth from swimming and walks on the beach with kids, as well as quickly access the bike paths. The cottage is in a nice, private location at the end of a cul-de-sac near a peaceful waterway. The cottage was updated with a nice kitchen and tiled bathrooms. The owner is very accommodating to guests. It's well stocked and has everything you need for a fun time at the Kiawah.

June 2008 - We had the best time. We were pleasantly surprised that the house was so spacious. Our young family of five (3 kids under 5) fit perfectly. The Kitchen and Bathrooms were beautifully redone with detailed tile work. The house was very clean and had everything you would need on a beach vacation. We spent most of our time at the beach and enjoyed every minute. Thanks for the great memories!

Stayed in the cottage week of 10/14/07. The cottage instantly felt like home. We adored the screened porch and the great kitchen. We got tired of eating out and cooked and ate on the porch with candles and wine and then only had to walk to bed! We liked the secluded and shady location under the live oaks and next to the beautiful golf course. We watched a deer wander across the yard right in front of the screened porch. We had everything we needed and truly enjoyed the great beach and awesome biking both on the trails and the hard packed sand beach. The beach looked a mile wide at low tide and was picture perfect. We would love to return to CottageonKiawah! Connie and Mike

Wonderful cottage in a quiet neighborhood. You can tell owners want to make your stay as comfortable as possible, when you find pretty much everything you need inside the house. They provide lots of information and tips about the island. Brand new kitchen, appliances, fresh flowers, beautiful golf course views, very clean, new carpet, books, magazines, games, etc. We would recommend Hege Restaurant in Freshfield market. The shops are also wonderful! I would definitely recommend this cottage and Kiawah Island in general and hope to stay there again! Thank you for making our stay very relaxing!

Thank you so much for sharing your cottage with us! You were so helpful with all of our arrangements and the supplies, etc. provided. The personal touch is so wonderful.

We loved Kiawah! It is so family friendly.Our girls loved the Kiawah Karnival night and the magician. And, of course, splashing in the shallows at the beach and swimming in the pool.

Thanks again! We hope to return soon.

Dear Susie & Joe,

We had a wonderful time at your cottage on Kiawah over the weekend. Thank you for all you did to help make the trip easy to plan, enjoyable and hassle-free. The details that you thought of certainly made it easy for us to relax and enjoy the time we had there! The cottage was bigger and much more modern than I expected (just based on looking at pictures on the Internet); you have certainly worked hard to update the cottage, and it looks terrific! We rented bikes on Sunday, and we enjoyed riding up the beach and then winding our way back to the cottage, stopping at the Night Heron nature area and the Market Town Center for lunch, along the way. The menus and directions you included in the binder are great for guests. The island is the perfect place for a relaxing, peaceful, and romantic get-away!



Thanks again!

Sincerely,

Maureen & Steve Prince

Our family has enjoyed many beach trips over the last few years. However, our stay in your cottage this week has to rank as the best! We thoroughly enjoyed all there was to do on Kiawah Island. We especially enjoyed the numerous nightly activities at Night Heron Park.

Riding around the island on bikes was a family favorite. The beach was the highlight of course! It was easy to get to from the cottage and beautiful.
