Home is well maintained, has a nice lay-out, is a few steps from a lovely beach, kitchen is well stocked with untensils, pots and pans, etc. and rental company is very responsive to questions/concerns.
Although the weather didn’t cooperate very well, we had a nice, relaxing stay! The house was very comfortable and homey and was stocked with all the necessities.
Well appointed and clean property. Close to the beach. Very relaxing venue.

Wonderful Rental!
This home was everything we could have asked for on Kiawah Island! Very comfortable layout and beautifully decorated. Close enough to beach to hear the waves. The back deck overlooking pond was a great for reading and dining. Lots of wildlife to keep us entertained! Thank you to the awesome hosts!
We had a wonderful stay in this home for a long weekend over the Thanksgiving holiday. The kitchen had everything we needed for a full Thanksgiving meal with plenty of serving pieces! We’ve been to Kiawah several times and were pleasantly surprised how close the house was to the beach. Would definitely come back!
The place was absolutely stunning the hosts were amazing.
Distance to the ocean was like a minute's walk!
It has everything you could possibly need for a big family of six.
Will definitely book again 🤗

Great Stay
Excellent space, comfortable furnishings, and terrific proximity to beach. Very clean. Close to West Beach Pool and other great Kiawah spots. iTrip was very responsive.
Wonderful home with a great location! Great space, clean, well cared for, with all the accessories needed. We hope to be back to Kiawah next year and Surfscoter will be our first pick. We have come every summer for years, and this is our favorite place we have stayed.
We had 6 people in our group. Mother, daughter, daughter trip. it was a perfect location, a very short walk to the beach that was beautiful. and house was well stocked, there is a grocery store right up the road, very convenient. We saw a few alligators right out the back yard, was fun to see them. very quite neighborhood. would stay there again.

Nice place
Nice place, bigger than the pictures lead on! Reasonable price, service fees will get you!
Nicely decorated, exceptionally comfortable home. Loved the views of the lagoon, hanging Spanish moss. Ducks and Egrets. Exceptionally well furnished kitchen. We hope to return.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Great location!
This house was a very short walk away from the beach, and was quite comfortable. It backs onto a lagoon with alligators, and my one suggestion would be that a gate be installed at the bottom of the stairs off the deck to reduce the chance of a gator wandering on to the deck.

Great property, great vacation
Our anniversary trip was wonderful. The house was spacious and clean. We loved that it was a block from the beach. There's nothing like walking in the sand and feeling the ocean breeze. We recommend the Kiawah Island restaurants, and we really appreciated the convenience of the Freshfields center which included a grocery. If we're in the Charleston area in the future, we will return to Surfscoter.

Great stay!
We booked one week ahead. It was easy the house was as stated in the reviews. Great location to the beach we rented bicycles and really enjoyed the trails. Nice touch with cookies and wine. Felt welcome. Would highly recommend this house for a quiet unplugged time away!
We so enjoyed our stay at this lovely home on a lagoon and within easy walking distance to a beautiful beach. Beds were comfy. Lots of space to spread out .Kitchen was fully stocked. The management staff was quick to answer any questions. The weather was great even with the blustery winds. Enjoyed exploring the island. Tea Plantation on Wadmalaw was quite interesting. Enjoyed lunch at Heron Night Park and dinner at Tomasso's. Beautiful place to relax and unwind!

Surfscoter is amazing!
Visit to 86 Surfscoter was simply phenomenal! Great location (just across the street from the beach). Extremely well maintained and cared for property with all accessories needed! Extremely clean! Kitchen had all equipment needed to prepare and host many fabulous meals & gatherings. Living & sleeping areas have many special touches. Will definitely rent this property again!
This property’s location cannot be beat, you really can’t get closer to the beach entrance unless you rent an oceanfront property. The house was clean and as described. Neighborhood was beautiful. Beds were comfortable, hosts responded immediately with any questions. There were some biting gnats while we sat on the back deck, but that is to be expected with location on lagoon. We saw many birds and two different gators. We loved it and will be coming back!

Wonderful home
We stayed at 86 Surfscoter ln. The pictures on line did not do justive to the actual home. Every room was comfortable clean and well decorated. The kitchen had every thing you would need and the grill had a back up propane tank. Light switches and kitche. Drawers were well labeled making everthing easy to find. Queit neighbordhood and close the the beach. Highly recommend!

Nice Relaxing Stay
The location of Surfscooter is about as good as you could ask for. My wife has to use a wheelchair and we could easily get to the beach down the asphalt public access and boardwalk. In September the water is still warm and the beach is pretty empty. The house is very clean and well stocked in the kitchen if you want to cook. The beds were comfortable and linens were good quality. Plenty of nice places to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee. The back deck has two nice rockers and a table to eat outdoors. We took advantage of the gas grill with a tasty steak and shrimp dinner. The lagoon in the back has plenty of wildlife (Alligators, Great Blue Heron, Egrits...). There were games in the hall closet for the rainy days and some beach chairs in the outside storage shed for the sunny days. The home is nicely decorated and furnished. One thing that could be improved is the front steps. The rise has got to be the maximum allowed by code. Its would have been nice to extend the steps out one more and lower the rise. We would highly recommend a stay here.
The location of this rental is fantastic. It is so close to the beach!! However a couple of things were really difficult about the rental. The second bathroom ONLY has
a hand held held shower. There was NO hook to keep the shower head up and if you didn’t hold it, it would collapse. Thus showering in this bathroom was NOT enjoyable.
The half bathroom has a toilet which is located directly next to the door. This made it very awkward to use. Moreover the beds were very uncomfortable ( mattress) and you may want to bring your own pillows. The kitchen appliances need updating. The freezer even leaked when you opened the door.
There was even a note to watch for leaking when the door was open. Also the tv in the sunroom has spots on it when you watched it.
The washer and dryer worked but were especially loud!! Lastly the master bath has a very, very high tub. It’s quite unusual and it was difficult to use at times because of the height of it. Overall I think this property needs some TLC…check the vents, they even are chipping.
P.S. The property needs more bath towels. I think we were given 5.

Perfect Beach Getaway – Can’t Wait to Return!
We had such a wonderful stay at this home! It was incredibly comfortable, well-equipped with everything you need for the beach, and just a short walk to the sand. It made for the perfect, relaxing getaway. We truly enjoyed every moment and will absolutely stay again!
This home was a great find! It’s immaculate, comfortable, roomy, with great beachy decor. We loved how close it was to the beach- only took a couple of minutes to walk there. That beach access point was never crowded the whole week we were there.
