18. One bedroom Kiawah Island flat for up to three people

With its enviable position within easy reach of the new tennis courts, exclusive resort-owned pools and the Cougar Point Golf Course, it’s not hard to see why this highly-popular one bedroom property scored so highly among previous guests. It is just minutes from the beach and within easy reach. And after a busy day enjoying the local sights, the porch will make a great spot to unwind and listen to the sound of the ocean of an evening. It also comes complete with plenty of mod-cons, including wi-fi, kitchen facilities, cable TV and free parking on site. With all of this going for it, it’s no surprise that the property scored full marks in all categories. Guests should bear in mind, however, that there is temporary construction work next door to the site at the moment. This only takes place during normal daytime hours during the week, so shouldn’t pose any issues to those who are off out exploring the area. If you want to stay at a Kiawah Island rental with a pool, then this place is worth checking out.
