6 Kiawah Island Vacation Rentals That Serve Up Swoony Ocean Scenery—and Big-Time Luxury
Equally renowned for premier golf courses, 10 miles of dazzling beachfront, and a wonderful spectrum of Sea Island natural heritage—including precious, wildlife-rich maritime forest and sand dunes offering prime seabird nesting grounds—South Carolina’s Kiawah Island is a straight-up magical offshore getaway, and just a stone’s throw from the big-city energy of Charleston. At The 100 Collection, we strive to give you a pitch-perfect vacation perch here, and to do so we collaborate with an exceptional local partner: Akers Ellis Real Estate & Rentals.
What follows are six of the very best vacation rentals in Kiawah Island with amazing views, real standouts among the Akers Ellis collection!
9 NICKLAUS
With sightlines stretching from golf-course greens to Atlantic whitecaps, this gorgeous and impeccably maintained owner’s primary residence—reservable for 10-week rental blocks—ranks among the best-situated villas in Kiawah Island. Located on the grounds of the Vanderhorst Plantation, 9 Nicklaus gives you direct beach access (and beach-gear essentials), a private soaking pool and spa, and more than one private deck stationing you for those aforementioned—incredible—views.
From the four-car garage, 80”-flatscreen-TV-equipped media room, and glitzed-out kitchen to the Traeger smoker and outdoor showers, this is a vacationland that checks all the boxes. Within strolling distance of such go-to destinations as the Roy Barth Tennis Center and Turtle Point Golf Course, the property also distinguishes itself with complimentary midweek cleaning services.
100 SURFSONG ROAD
Whether from the generously windowed interior, kicking back by the pool, or having some quiet time on the open-air deck, vistas to the Kiawah Island sands and the great blue skyline beyond beautifully dominate the experience at 100 Surfsong Road. Spreading across more than 4,000 square feet, this reverse-floorplan vacation home hits every right note, including a master bedroom with a whirlpool tub, a washer/dryer unit, an outdoor shower, and direct access to the beach boardwalk straight from the driveway.

Let a lazy evening stretch further courtesy of the wall-mounted flatscreen TV and the DVD and Blue-ray players, and prep meals on the glinting granite countertops of the kitchen. Meanwhile, you’ve got quick and easy access to everything from golf and tennis to boating, paddling, and the pleasures of Night Heron Park.
