Your piece of paradise under the palmettos. . .Largest Pool in area!

From the moment you walk through the front door, you'll be thrilled with your vacation home. 178 Glen Abbey sits on a spacious yard, with room for kids to play, lush tropical foliage to put you in a Kiawah mood, and majestic palmettos touching the sky. Your own 8 foot deep salt water pool and a hot tub are elevated to tree-level, so you'll feel on top of the world. Surrounding the pool is a wood deck, teak lounge chairs with stylish cushions, teak dining set, and a gas grill. There's plenty of room for basking in the Carolina sun. As you relax in the pool, one story up, you can look out on Canvasback Pond. Its waters lap against your backyard, affording plenty of opportunity to admire the wildlife which call this spot home, including egrets, deer, pelicans, alligators, and heron. Before you know it, you'll discover the patterns and rhythms of nature here, which take the place of clocks and meetings.

Inside, the spacious and airy two-story home is designed on an open floor plan, with wood floors and handsome rugs. Downstairs, the grand living room, dining area, and kitchen all blend seamlessly together, so you, family, and guests can enjoy each other no matter the activity or time of day. The central focus of the living room is a large, comfy, u-shaped sectional sofa. You can watch satellite TV, listen to music, read selections from the house library, nestle up to the fireplace, or gaze out on the pool, backyard, and pond beyond. The dining room also faces the pool and pond, with a farmhouse table that will be the perfect place for family and friends to dine together. The kitchen, boasts a central island and eat-in breakfast bar, with the full range of appliances allowing you to prepare any meals. The living room, dining area, and kitchen all face the massive eastern windows fronting on the pool/deck, which makes everything bright and cheery throughout the home. The first floor Master Suite offers privacy, artful decorations, and colorful linens, as does the other first-floor bedroom. Meanwhile, the nautically-themed sun room has windows on all sides, with panoramic vistas of the glorious surroundings.

Upstairs, another Master Suite is just as private and tasteful, with a view of the pool and pond. Serene and comfortable, it's a great place for guests, offering peace and quiet no matter what's going on inside or out. The fourth bedroom's view is just as superb, while its interior is just as colorful. Every one of the four bedrooms has its own satellite TV, with DVD, walk-in closets, and bathrooms. You'll love sipping your morning coffee on the second-story screened-in porch, watching the sun rise over the pond and palms, while the kids splash in the pool below. Your cares will seem miles away, and the peaceful blend of nature and luxury will help you feel soothed and balanced.

Best of all, amazing private Kiawah beach is so close! Only a short 3 minute stroll from your front door, or a 90 second bike ride, along a path that winds its way under the island's forest canopy. This means no traffic, no parking worries, and no stress for you as family and friends go back and forth from the Atlantic's sand and surf to the comforts of home.

To make your getaway even easier, take advantage of kid-friendly extras provided, like pool toys, games, fishing rigs, basketball hoop, DVDs and books. Grill outside and dine under the stars, or at home while one of Kiawah's restaurants or caterers delivers gourmet meals to you. Chefs will even come over and cook for you! Baby-sitting, grocery shopping and in-house massage are just some of the services you can call on. Make Kiawah's serene luxury your own in a friendly home your family will love!

    Fantastic experience at this home. Pictures do not do it justice! So nice and calm. The best location on Kiawah. Gwen is a great help. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Kitchen is perfect for a family meal. We swam and relaxed and rang in the new year!

    Our family enjoyed another stay at your home. Unfortunately, the pool remote control was not working but we were still able to enjoy the pool with manual control. We were so glad the construction on the new home next door was complete this year. See you next year!

    We had a wonderful stay at this home. The location is close to a path that leads directly to the beach. The kitchen is well equipped and perfectly laid out for a crowd. This is our favorite house yet after many stays on Kiawah Island! Definitely will rent again.

    Love this house! Saltwater pool, short walk to ocean, lots of space, and so many things provided for by owner—beach towels are a real plus as no need to pack! Kitchen supplies are abundant…including many spices, coffee filters, napkins, paper towels; laundry has Tide pods, bounce sheets. And the weather was great this week. Thanks!

    We enjoyed a wonderful vacation with our children and grandchildren over Memorial Day weekend. The house was stunning, exceptionably maintained and the location could not have been better. Proximity to the beach and all the amenities Kiawah offered was perfect. Look forward to gathering next Memorial weekend on Kiawah island!

    We rented the home for 4 nights as a surprise family Christmas gift for our two sons and their families. My husband and I are local to Charleston now but our sons still live in Massachusetts so a beach vacation in April was a treat for them. The home is just as pictured. Large and clean and nicely decorated, although as you can tell from the pictures it is a bit dated. But almost charmingly so - and the price fairly reflects that. Amazingly stocked kitchen as other reviewers have stated- I.e., a draw full of multi sized ziploc bags! We had a very hard time getting our 9, 7, and 5 year old grandkids to leave the pool and hot tub to take the beautiful walk to the beach. But when we did we had this huge beautiful beach to ourselves. Stunning.

    Walking easily to the beach or around the neighborhood, frolicking in a heated pool, and enjoying spacious living areas made our stay on Glen Abbey a great way to spend the holidays. The house accommodated our three generations comfortably.

    Our visit took place during a tropical storm. The house provided plenty of space for a week primary spent indoors. The kitchen is very well equipped. The pool was a treat during the brief periods of sunshine. Continuous communication was provided during the Tropical storm. We hope to come back!

    Just a great house, great pool, great beach access, and great owner! You will feel like you are in your home (only with a pool!) for your stay. This is the second time we have rented 178 Glen Abbey, and we will be back if we can get a rental week. It is very booked as you can see!

    The experience at this property was as good as its description and pictures. The house is beautiful and very roomy. The kitchen was fully equipped for any type meal. The communication with the host was very timely and informative. The location on Kiawah Island was special. Very quiet and remote with a 10 minute walk to the beach. The pool and spa are both heated and a welcomed relief after a day on the beach. We’d highly recommend the property if you like quiet and restful.
