Remember: If renting through, remember to look for listings with "Resort Privileges" for pool access. We always look for clean, nicely decorated, recently remodeled villas with a screened porch which is a must for us. There are many villas to choose from, but we generally choose from Parkside Villas, Mariner’s Watch, Night Heron Cottages, Tennis Club Villas, or Inlet Cove Cottages (on West Beach). If you want to play in the Night Heron Park swimming pool which offers a super water slide and other water features, you will need to look for VRBO listings that come with “Resort Privileges.” We like the East Beach location because of its proximity to the Nature Center and Night Heron Park. Kiawah separates itself into 3 areas: East Beach, West Beach, and Vanderhorst Plantation. We have generally found it to be much less expensive by renting a villa through VRBO or Homeaway but compare prices with Kiawah Island Resort as well. Because of beach conservation, most homes are located off beach. Kiawah offers villas, houses, or hotel rooms in the lush Sanctuary Hotel. Whether you’re local to the area or just passing through for some last-minute holiday shopping, these one-of-a-kind gifts offer a unique way to celebrate the holiday season and share some Lowcountry joy with the ones you love.Your Best Lodging Choices on Kiawah Island The book can be found at the Preservation Society of Charleston or online.
