  • Watch the sunset from Kiawah Beachwalker Park, Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Kiawah is a golf-centered resort island with lots of palmettos, pine trees, and waterbirds. The dolphins practice "strand feeding" here, which is the act of herding the fish up on the beach along with a wave and wriggling up on the sand to retrieve them. #UStravel #travel #naturelovers #beach #sunset #Kiawah #SouthCarolina #RVlife #earthporn #goldenhour #camping #glamping #wanderlust #beachbound www.RVLuckyOrWhat.com

Great for pets

Great location and perfect for families traveling with pets. Less than ideally clean but that is expected with a place that allows animals. Host was very helpful with shower drainage issue and it was resolved the next morning. Well stocked kitchen with everything you need for cooking.

Wonderful Beach Retreat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Inlet Cove in Kiawah! What a beautiful spot amount the trees. Quiet street with a short walk to the beach. The island is amazing with bike trails throughout, I felt like a kid again. The home was clean, comfy, and felt relaxing. Many great books to read and puzzles. Great experience and we will be back!

We thouroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was perfect for our family to meet before our daughter and son in law begin their next adventure in NC.

Wonderful dog-friendly Kiawah retreat!

Great introduction to Kiawah. Easy, short walk to the beach and close to shopping and restaurants. The unit was immaculate and well-appointed. Kitchen had a full complement of pots, pans, coffee makers, etc. Beds were comfortable and linens were well-maintained. We had a great visit and will definitely be back!

Fabulous Accommodations

Very inviting, comfortable, well-equipped cottage in a great location. We enjoyed the pool ... But the short walk to the beach worked out great... Our favorite hangout 😎 One suggestion would be to consider replacing the king sized bed mattress...but overall...we so ENJOYED our stay & would definitely come back!!😁

Family time

We have been staying in Inlet Cove for more than 30 years and it never lets us down! This cottage was no different. The property is so cozy and comfortable; the kitchen is very well stocked and this was important as we love to cook. I loved looking through the scrapbook as it let me know how much the owners also love the island.

Family vacation

Our family cooks many meals and the kitchen was the best stocked kitchen in a home that we ever rented. The location is perfect and you can easily walk to the beach as well as to the inlet to watch the dolphins strand feed. Maggie was very responsive to any questions we had. We appreciated bringing our fur babies with us too. I was fortunate to see a momma sea turtle as well as the babies released into the ocean.

Good Location

This cottage was in a great location for the beach & access to Freshfields. It was also wonderful to be able to have our dogs with us. A few things were amiss, however. On our arrival at 4 p.m., the cleaning service was still on property and requested an additional 30 minutes to complete their service. Not a big deal, but honestly, I don't know what she was doing, just not cleaning. The cottage could use a good, deep clean. I know "dog friendly" will mean there is some wear and tear, but it was downright dirty. The floors were filthy, carpets could use a refresh and the bath mats and comforters didn't appear to have been laundered for a very long time. The refrigerator should be emptied also, there were so many condiments and food left behind - I understand not wasting things, but overall it just felt unkempt. The screened porch was absolutely filthy, the furniture (not what's pictured online) was moldy and the grill had no propane - although I don't think we would have cooked on it anyway. It needs replaced. Additionally, it would have been nice to know of the construction in the unit next door - we would have stayed elsewhere. It started before 8 a.m. on Monday morning, and continued every single day until after 8 p.m. It was very disruptive for the dogs, who barked constantly while we were in the unit on the weekdays, so not very relaxing for us. It was nice to have our dogs with us, but not exactly the trip we planned.

Inlet Cove...best Kiawah neighborhood

This is a great unit. It is super pet friendly. The owner has mastered the art of providing an updated, well supplied kitchen with nice appliances and decor. The check in process was super efficient. Inlet cove is quiet and a less golfy experience than much of the west beach area. Definitely would like to visit again.

Wonderful getaway

We loved staying at Maggie's cottage. We cooked a full Thanksgiving meal in her kitchen and were very comfortable hosting dinner for our family. We loved being so close to the beach, which is magical. Having our dogs with us was a huge bonus. Our dogs just loved being able to run around on the beach with utter freedom. We rented bikes for the week and biked around everywhere, including the beach. Thank you for a lovely stay.
