Vacation rentals with a patio in Shem Creek

My husband and I stayed at Daphne's place in Kiawah Island for a spring break getaway. It was exactly what we needed! This was our first time in Kiawah; we knew we wanted easy access to the beach, and Daphne's place certainly made that possible. The villa is just steps from the beach via a boardwalk. The beach was both private and peaceful. While spending time at the villa, we thoroughly enjoyed the screened in porch as we sipped our morning coffee. Looking forward to coming back again in the future!

Place was clean and exactly like pictures. Kitchen had everything needed. Felt more like hotel vibe vs homey but overall comfortable and great.

Awesome Host! We were very pleased with the property. The furnishings were well thought out. It was minimalist while feeling warm and inviting at the same time. It was well-maintained and the surrounding property was very nice. We felt at home in the property and area. Small convenience stores (DT, FD, DG) were all within 1-2 minutes driving and so much more anywhere from 5 minutes or more. It worked out very well for us. *It is on the second floor (we liked that), but just a heads up in case stairs are challenging for you or someone traveling with you. As a host - very responsive, great instructions and clear rules. We definitely recommend this property and host, and we would book again.

We had a wonderful stay at Tyler’s place. The house was a beautiful mix of old Charleston with all updated features. He made us feel right at home. He left us snacks and a bottle of champagne. So thoughtful! It was an easy walk to the top of king st. We walked and was a 5-10 minute uber ride to the end of island. I would definitely recommend Tyler’s house.

I was really amazed how well the place was. The location was close to everything.The cleanliness of place exceeded my expectation. It was well worth it!

We had a fantastic stay at Laurie's place. The apartment is stylish, clean and very comfortable - we felt right at home, and it was nice to run into Laurie as we were arriving and get some tips on nice walks in the neighborhood. The area is beautiful -- bungalows and single family homes that have been renovated and are so cute and unique! We loved being able to walk down to the river, hearing the birds sing, enjoying the flowers and trees. The apartment is about a 10 minute car ride to many restaurants and the shopping and historic district, which was perfect for us - we were happy to stay a bit out of the fray of downtown and have a peaceful retreat. The amenities in the apartment were perfect - comfortable bed, great water pressure in the shower, lovely outdoor patio and thoughtful touches like snacks and a bottle of wine. There are a few nice restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance. All in all a perfect stay - would be happy to return!

The place was easy to find, easy to access, and absolutely spotless. the host checked in with me to see if we needed anything, and was very polite and friendly. The location worked perfectly for us, only a short 30 minute drive into downtown Charleston, and at a much more affordable price than anywhere in town. We enjoyed the local flea market on Sunday that is just outside the neighborhood ad down the road a couple of blocks. We booked the day before we needed the place and everything was ready for us. Would totally recommend to friends and stay again!

Great location, perfect host, if needed will definitely stay there again

We had a wonderful stay with our baby and 2 small dogs! Beautiful home in a great location! It had everything we needed and more. It was so easy to get to downtown Charleston and the ride was beautiful and scenic. You can also walk to two great restaurants: Paisanos pizza and for breakfast the Smoky Yolk. We would love to stay here again and highly recommend it!

We absolutely loved the home, it was perfect for two families to share for a swim meet weekend. It was super close to the pool and plenty of restaurants close by! The home is beautiful, spacious, clean, it was great, just wish we could’ve spent more time there!

Laurence’s place was perfect for our quick, family weekend trip to Charleston! Situated in a beautiful neighborhood, filled with young families we felt right at home. It was a quick walk to the Greenway which gave us a great path to walk to nearby restaurants/coffee shops with our young son. It was also perfect for us to be so close to downtown to come back and forth for naptime. Lastly, the home was very welcoming for our son and not only had 2 pack and plays but also an assortment of toys which he enjoyed. Thanks for a great stay!

Great little house away from downtown. Plenty of amenities nearby and just what we needed for our stay. The yard was nice and the home was clean. Easy to check in and out. We would stay here again for sure. It did say it was walking distance to shops and restaurants but I wouldn’t consider what we found near by to be as close of a walk as we imagined. This didn’t affect our trip in anyway, however.

The home is in an older, well-established neighborhood that is safe enough that neighbors leave bikes unattended in yards overnight. There are saggy spots and chips in the kitchen floor, but it was spotlessly clean on arrival. The wood floors in the bedrooms, living room and hall look original and are beautiful. There is a lovely fenced yard. We'd have enjoyed sitting out there if it was warmer. It would also be a great place to turn a dog out to run and play. The kitchen is huge and well-equipped, with tons of cabinet and counter space, and everything needed to prepare a meal, including a good selection of basic spices and seasonings. Mattresses were comfortable; there were small dressers in each bedroom, so we didn't have to live out of suitcases. Note: The listing says cotton sheets; the ones on the king bed were 100% polyester--not bad in winter, but would be hot in summer. There were plenty of towels for our group. Washer and dryer access was appreciated.

We had a great time and this was the perfect set up and location for a local family wedding. We were able to get in and out easily, and Meghan was the perfect host, always answering any questions that I had and was proactive by reaching out to check on us during the weekend.

It was a very pleasant stay and like a cute cozy little place. We were pleased with the location. Communicating was easy and we got quick responses to any question we had. Thank you very much!

This property has high end furnishings, very comfortable beds and nice linens. The kitchen is tiny but pretty well equipped. Location is great. We had a couple of issues that when raised were immediately addressed to our satisfaction. Parking is tight - would not recommend a large vehicle but it’s at least off street.

Kevin's place was exactly as described. easy to find and get into, we got in after dark and my kids and I had no trouble. the locations is within walking distance of the beach and all the shops and restaurants in Folly Beach area. we had everything we needed at the condo including beach chairs and a cart to haul them in, all amenities were there including bathroom needs and plenty of towels and extra lines. washer and dryer was very useful and the kitchen was fully stocked for use! we did not have to contact Kevin at all bc everything was perfect a d we had no issues, but he also had everything laid out in his messages on how to check in, things to do in the area, and check out procedure. we loved this place and we will be back!!

The apartment was as described. It was all to our complete satisfaction.

Condo was perfectly located with beach access just across the street. We had a perfect view of the ocean and could walk any where we wanted. Everything was provided including beach chairs and towels. The elevator was close and parking was adequate. We will definitely choose this condo again.

We had a great experience with the place. Everything was easy to access and Dawn was a wonderful host.

The condo was great for my family's vacation. The secondary bedrooms are on the opposite side of the condo from the main bedroom giving teens and parents privacy. The patio is well furnished and comfortable to hang out on in the mornings and evenings. We had everything we needed for our stay. It was a short walk or quick drive to golf and other amenities (if you buy the pass, but it's worth it). Overall, great stay.

We had an incredible week-long stay at this beautiful condo, which was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 2 young children. The condo was spacious, immaculately clean, and offered stunning views of both the ocean and the golf course. All three bedrooms were generously sized, and we never felt crowded. The location couldn’t be better—just steps away from the beach and even closer to the pool, which provided endless hours of fun for our entire family. The easy parking and short drive to Charleston made exploring the area a breeze. Plus, there are fantastic restaurants both nearby and in the city. Steve was an outstanding host—friendly, responsive, and very easy to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend this condo to anyone. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Host is very responsive! Great place to stay!

The home was very lovely, spacious and clean. It was in a great part of the island and the resort is very nice as well. We had two kids and it was very convenient for staying with children. We appreciated the board games for inside entertainment.
