200 Steps to Beach! Great Location! Clean, Renovated-New TVs, Bed, LR Furniture


lic#RBL20-000329
Welcome to 4253 Mariners Watch—a wonderful Kiawah Island retreat just 200 steps from the beach! The Mariner's Watch Villas are in one of the very best central locations on all of Kiawah.

Set in the highly desirable East Beach area, this nicely renovated second-floor villa offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm. You’re moments from Night Heron Park, the five-star Sanctuary Hotel, and the Nest Café & Market, making it easy to enjoy everything Kiawah has to offer.

This villa is always kept clean and it's second-floor location means no overhead noise, while the cathedral ceilings create a bright, open, and spacious feel. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful updates throughout, including a brand-new bed, two new flat-screen TVs, a new cozy accent chair, and a comfortable sleeper sofa—ideal for relaxing after a day at the beach.

A short walk or bike ride takes you to the Sanctuary’s outdoor bar and dining, and Night Heron Park is easily accessible—especially convenient if you’re renting bikes from the resort.

This premier-rated villa features solid-surface countertops, hardwood floors, stainless-steel appliances, updated cabinetry, a small bar area, and a spacious walk-in shower. The villa comfortably sleeps four, with a queen bed in the primary bedroom and a queen leather sleeper sofa in the living area. New mattresses and furnishings ensure a restful stay.

The villa is locally managed, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that any needs during your stay will be handled promptly.

Kiawah Getaway

Had a great stay in Barbara's Villa. It is warm and cozy and well stocked with everything we needed. The location is great with a short walk to the beach, bike paths right next to the building, and close enough to walk to the Night Heron Park/waterpark and the Nest Shop. Barbara is very responsive to any questions you may have, and truly a caring person, wanting her guests to have the best stay possible!

Love Kiawah, What better way to enjoy your time at Kiawah than to be at this awesome condo. It was very nice, clean, so close to the beach, and you couldn't ask for a better location or property manager. The recommendations about the area and restaurants were spot on. The beach was so close and spectacular. Enjoyed out time and hopefully, will definitely be back.

Nice and quiet

The condo complex is nice and quiet except for the 2 days of parking lot and sidewalk repairs. They were quick and we were grateful they were not there all week. The unit could use a good more through cleaning. Pollen was out of control and porch was basically unusable as it was covered in pollen. Same with front door and screen. Unit living space was ok but could use a deeper cleaning. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Close to the beach and a very nice area.

A wonderful condo in a prime location! The unit is well-kept, stocked and clean. You can't be the location, being one street back from the beach. Barb, the owner, is fantastic! We had a couple of questions during our stay and she quickly responded. I would stay again. Thank you, Barb! Our first trip to Kiawah was memorable and I can't wait to return!

Perfect stay

We had a wonderful stay here! Check in was easy, the unit was clean and had everything we needed, and the owner even left us a chilled bottle of wine because we were celebrating our anniversary! It is amazingly close to the beach, and we loved the ease of renting bikes and umbrella/chairs. Kiawah is gorgeous, and we look forward to a return stay!
