Property Description

From the high-end designer furnishings and unique art to the ocean views from the property’s balcony, Tidewater at Windswept offers luxurious comforts. This 2-story, 2-bedroom townhouse comfortably accommodates up to 4 adults and 2 children. Bathed in warm colors and ample sunlight, appointed with original artwork, and topped off with the latest technology, the villa’s 2 master bedrooms, reading nook, and living areas show off both personality and class.

In the morning, enjoy the ocean view from the warmth of your plush custom-built king-sized bed. During the day, let your toes sink into the handwoven wool rugs that punctuate the property, and take advantage of the kitchen, complete with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. In the evening, linger over the ocean view from the living room deck before settling into the finely-styled living room for a conversation about the day’s events or to watch your favorite movie on the large flat panel television.

Both master bedrooms have memory-foam mattresses, Egyptian-cotton sheets, down-alternative pillows, and large flat panel smart televisions. Twin airbeds are also available – we find these to be more comfortable, easier to manage, and more versatile than sleeper sofas.

Enjoy time in the private reading nook tucked in the upstairs master bedroom, which has stunning landscape/ocean views. Don’t be surprised to find yourself spending hours here, book and glass of wine in hand.

Both master bedrooms have connecting bathrooms. Upstairs, a double vanity, oversized tub, and separate shower offer ample room to prep for a night out on the town, and the downstairs bathroom has a tub/shower combination.

About Kiawah's East Beach

Located just 30 minutes from historic downtown Charleston on Kiawah’s East Beach, this vacation property is ideally situated. The beach is unsurprisingly a favorite destination – and from here, it’s literally steps to the Atlantic Ocean. A cooler and beach towels are conveniently available in Tidewater. All you have to do is have a good time!

Beyond the beach, put on some walking shoes and check out the nearby shops and restaurants. Several miles of bike trail also wind throughout the island; rent a bike and get peddling!

If you need more space or your preferred dates are unavailable, consider staying in the 3-bedroom Penthouse, located one floor up in the same building or the 1-bedroom Escape, located in the adjacent oceanfront building.

Fabulous time staying here! Villa was in great shape, clean and had everything we needed. You also can’t beat the view and have easy access to the beach. We can’t wait to return!

Great rental, perfect for two couples as advertised. 100 yards to the beach. Try the dinners for two from the “The Nest” at Night Heron park, 2 minute drive. Different entree each day. Wednesday fried chicken, mac and cheese and coleslaw is delicious. Folks at Island Getaways were great to work with. We plan to use them again when staying at Kiawah.

Overall, I’d call this one of the better VRBO options on Kiawah. Perfect location. Steps from the beach which is a MAJOR convenience advantage when packing all of your beach gear to and from. We would absolutely stay here again.

The Height of Luxury and Comfort on Kiawah – Two King Bedrooms, Oceanfront!!

by E. Bedenbaugh

5 out of 5 stars

The stay at this Kiawah villa was perfect. It’s a short walk to the beach with the boardwalk to the beach very close by. The week we were there it was low tide during the day, and the beach was SO wide. The villa was beautifully decorated, VERY clean (and I’m pretty picky about that) with beautiful views of the ocean, especially from the upstairs bedroom. Also, nice touch with flowers, and some lights and music on when we arrived. The kitchen is very well equipped and very organized. We would definitely stay here again!

As always, this was a spectacular experience for a much-needed reprieve for my wife and I, finally getting away for a real vacation during the pandemic. Kiawah Island Getaways accommodations are always clean, comfortable yet luxurious, in a tranquil and secluded surrounding at Kiawah. For midwesterners adjusted to cold winters, the 60s weather in February was perfect for walks on the beach and bike rides around the island. You will never go wrong with the dining recommendations that they provide in the welcome binder, from Kiawah Island to Charleston and all points in between.

My family could not have been happier with our recent booking through Kiawah Island Getaways. Shawn and Jeanette are professional, detailed, and cover all the bases. We enjoyed a relaxing trip in a clean living space with all the supplies you need. It felt like a home away from home, and we are planning to use Kiawah Island Getaways for our next trip!

What an amazing week we had at The Mariah at Windswept! For our first visit to Kiawah Island, we were thrilled with the accommodations, location to the beach, the cleanliness, and the quality items provided in the kitchen to cook great meals nightly! The owners are amazing and communicate so effectively, their ultimate wish is for you to enjoy every moment! We have already planned our next years vacation to come back! Thank you Shawn and Jeanette!

Always Impeccably Maintained

We love Kiawah and have always enjoyed our time spent there no matter what the season. Over the years we have continued to use Kiawah Island Getaways as our rental agency. Their properties suit our needs perfectly and are always impeccably maintained. In addition, all items needed in the kitchen, bedrooms, baths and living areas are always in place making it so easy to enjoy our time at the beach. Not having constantly to run to the market to acquire more garbage bags, soap, detergent, etc. ensures we have a more time to absorb lovely Kiawah and its beach. Mariah at Windswept was the perfect unit for two couples-king beds for all! When not outside we loved the ocean views from the dining room table. In the future whenever we can visit Kiawah, we will of course use Kiawah Island Getaways.

All properties offer plenty of down-filled pillows (as well as down-alternative pillows in the closets), duvets, heavenly bed linens, and super comfy mattresses. Read our blog to see exactly why our beds are so special!

Each property is furnished with a full-sized refrigerator, ice maker, dishwasher, coffeemaker, coffee grinder, blender, microwave, range, washer/dryer, pots & pans and all cooking and eating utensils. You’ll find plenty of spices, dishwashing soap, Saran wrap, aluminum foil, Ziplock bags and paper towels.

Each property offers a full washer, dryer, and dishwasher, along with plenty of laundry detergent and dishwasher pods.

Each property offers a coffee pot (with reusable filters), French press, and Keurig (with K-cups).

We provide everything you need for the beach, including towels, a cooler, and plastic wine glasses (since glass is prohibited on Kiawah’s beach)!

 
 

Per the Town of Kiawah, grilling is not permitted on decks of any villas (condos), nor in any of the parking areas.  However, grills are allowed on the decks of cottages and houses.  If you are renting a house or cottage – please check the listing to see if it includes a grill.

Charcoal grills are provided at the Night Heron Park (exact location here).

When comparing Kiawah Island Getaways to the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, it really comes down to what you value most during your stay. The Golf Resort is perfect for golf lovers—they offer fantastic golf courses along with golf discounts and have a splash pool that’s a big hit with kids. So, if you’ve got kids or you are planning to play many rounds of golf, the Golf Resort is a great choice. Kiawah Island Getaways is all about providing a top-notch, comfortable stay, focused on cleanliness and comfort. That’s our niche, and that’s what we do best. Please note you may also play golf (no discounts) and the property you rent may come with a community pool (not access to the Night Heron Splash Pool).  Be sure to read our Kiawah Island Getaways Google Reviews.

Check-in is easy. We will email you the address and directions to the property. Simply print and bring these directions with you when you come or use your GPS. Check-in is any time after 4 PM (unless you have arranged and paid for an early check-in). We will also email your vehicle pass that you may print it at home prior to your arrival.  Having the pass printed and set on your dash will save you a long wait at Kiawah’s front gate (get in the quicker right lane) when you arrive. The front gate is open 24/7.  Once through the gate, drive directly to the property. All properties are equipped with an electronic doorknob or dead bolt that opens with your unique 4-digit code (which we also will email/text to you). With no keys or key cards to worry about, access to the property is easy for adults and kids alike!

None of our properties are pet-friendly. However, there are several accommodations that accept pets on Kiawah. Visit vrbo.com and filter for pet-friendly properties. Be sure to read the reviews. Once you determine which accommodations suit you the best, book directly through the property management company and avoid paying the vrbo $$ finder’s fee.

Available Amenities

Access to all island amenities is available, excluding the Night Heron Splash pool and fitness center. Enjoy restaurants, shops, golf, tennis, Kamp Kiawah, bike paths, and the beach. Additionally, you can book spa services at The Sanctuary Hotel. Kiawah features a top-tier tennis center in East Beach and five championship golf courses: the Ocean Course, Turtle Point, Osprey Point, Cougar Point, and Oak Point.

Yes. Located just 30 minutes from Kiawah at James Island County Park is Splash Zone. It is fabulous fun…with lazy rivers, 200′ tube slides, sprays and all sorts of water fun for kids and adults of all ages.

A few neighborhoods on Kiawah have a community pool. Cottages in Sparrow Pond have access to a neighborhood community pool. The Night Heron Splash Pool is not available to our guests.

Gear Rentals & Services

Yes – there are full service beach chairs and beach umbrellas set up for you each day by the Beach Service that are available for rent 10 AM through 4 PM (see instructions here).  As an alternative, you may rent portable beach chairs directly through us when you make your reservation.  Unlike the full-service beach chairs, the portable beach chairs are great for use anytime of the day (or evening).  You may also choose to rent a full-service umbrella and complement it with portable beach chairs.

Kiawah is a terrific place to bike. There are over 30 miles of flat, paved, easy to ride bike trails that wind all over the island. Biking is interwoven with the Island’s culture, and we highly recommend renting bikes to anyone visiting. You may reserve bikes here: BikeKiawah.com

I encourage you to take a look at our map of bike trails and fun spots on Kiawah. There is no better way to experience the Island! For Jeanette and Shawn’s advice for biking on the beach, check out this one minute read on our website. .

We rent portable beach chairs and boogie boards which make it easy and fun for the whole family to enjoy the beach and ride the waves!

You can pick up groceries at Harris Teeter at Freshfields (here) or pre-arrange to have groceries delivered to your property from GroceriesAhead.com(843) 216-7630.

For classic family beach photos we recommend Michael Cyra with Photographics, (843) 768-3030. Be sure to plan this event in advance – Michael books up quickly in the summer!

We have located Kiawah’s BEST babysitter! She LOVES kids and enjoys showing them all of the fun areas around Kiawah. She can even entertain children with trips to the Aquarium and to the Children’s Museum in Charleston. She also likes to spend time in the property with the children playing with the many games and toys that are provided there. Information on the babysitter will be emailed to you along with your check-in information. Let us know if you need any baby equipment. We rent portable cribs, Pack-and-Plays, high chairs and toddler beds.  Just let us know what you need and we’ll have it set up and waiting for you when you arrive.
