Quiet comfortable and cozy
This cottage is located in a wonderfully quiet and serene part of the island not far from the entrance/main guard gate, near the Cougar Point golf course. We have stayed on Kiawah Island for the past 25 years in a variety of locations, and this spot is ideal for easy access into/out of the island. I was concerned at first that a location so close to the entrance, and the steady flow of traffic that brings, would be a potential noise factor, but it was not! Sleeping soundly was definitely not an issue here. The cottage is adjoined (in town home fashion) to other homes, but it is an end-of-group. The owners, Ann and Hollis, have done a wonderful job in modernizing and updating their home, which has a very comfortable and "homey" feel to it. In fact, it feels less like a "rental" home than many of the others we've stayed at. The beds are very comfortable, as are the balance of the appointments in the home. The kitchen is nicely stocked with everything you'll need, if you choose to eat-in. This is a 2 bedroom/2 bath home with king/queen beds. It's not what you might see in other 2 bedroom rentals - with pull out sofa beds, etc. for groups up to 6+. It's suited for 1 to 4 visitors only, as advertised. Because Kiawah is really about the outdoors and natural surroundings, the cottage's rear orientation to a pond and mature trees is particularly nice. There's a screened porch and adjoining deck for outdoor relaxation. Ocean access is a short bike ride or spirited stroll away - at approximately 1/2 mile. We had a comfortable and relaxing stay here. Ann is very kind and gracious owner, and was a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Ann, and we hope to return sometime soon.
