My wife, dog and I stayed in this cottage for 2 weeks as a “work-cation.” It ticked all the boxes for us: good bed, hot shower, fast/stable internet (Xfinity), and ~7 minute walk to the beach. Some of the appliances seemed newer: fridge w/ ice and water on the door, dishwasher, microwave, washer and dryer. We cooked most meals in and found it had all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed. If stairs are an issue for you, there’s a lift.
The cottage had way more room than we needed, but it was nice to be able to spread out. You can’t see the beach or any of Kiawah’s ponds, but the forest/shrub thicket (complete with deer) is nice and gives a secluded feel.
Overall, the furnishings were beach comfortable: not brand new or the latest fashion, but comfortable and well maintained. For larger groups, furnishings are arranged so there a couple of different areas where subsets of folks could sit and chat. There’s also an outdoor deck & table on one side.
The host (Susie) provided a lot of information prior to arrival and touched base with us via email after we arrived. We had no other need to contact her. We would recommend this cottage to others and would stay again.
Kiawah is great, but there is construction noise on the beach (new condos), teams trimming the overgrowth, and they love their leaf blowers!
