5 Avocet is a lovely comfortable house for a crowd. We recently stayed there for our anniversary with our family and had a great time. The children haven't stopped talking about our new "beach house" since we left!

Great House and Location
Great house, well maintained and clean. Enough space for all of our guests to spread out and not feel like we were on top of each other. Good location right off of the golf course. Pool was a great amenity to have.

Beautiful Home, Great Views and Location
We have stayed at 5 Avocet for our family vacation for nearly the past 10 years. We continue to come back because of the continuous improvements by the owner, thoughtful amenities (the pool is our favorite), great view and location near the beach. The house is well designed with large gathering spaces for families, and yet enough space for those seeking more privacy. This home is sure to please most families.

Four Generations on Kiawah
W have vacationed on Kiawah for 25 years, and have spent the last 7 years at 5 Avocet. The home is very spacious and exceptionally well equipped on a quiet cul de sac minutes from the beach. And the pool is a great refresher after spending time on the beach.

A good family house
This is a good sized house and perfect for a family. it is located directly on one of Kiawah's golf courses, and is a short bike ride to the beach. A good place to rest, relax, and recharge.

This was our sixth year of renting 5 Avocet for our annual family vacation. We remain highly satisfied with the condition of the property and the comfort it provides for our growing family of adult children and grandchildren. We will be returing again next year!

Stay at 5 Avocet
The check in was the easiest ever as it was all on-line. We just showed up at the house at 4:00 and the keys were in a lock box. The house and location were awesome. We had a great time and plan to rent this house again in the future if still available.

Lovely spacious home for large group.
We had a very restful and fun stay in this spacious house. There was plenty of space for our group of 9. It was spotless when we entered. The downstairs master suite is enormous. Great for someone who needs to work while on vacation. The pool deck is partially covered in case of rain. The kitchen was wonderfully large, functional and well-furnished. It's a bit of a walk to the beach 10-15 min but not bad by bike. We would definitely book here again.

Wonderful House
This house was FANTASTIC! It is well laid out, open, and perfect for more than one family. The pool area is so relaxing after a "strenuous" day on the beach, biking or golfing. The house is a short bike ride to the beach.The billiard room is also a fun addition to the otherwise perfect Kiawah experience!!! Would definitely return!!!

The perfect house for our group!
We were traveling with several families and this house had the perfect layout and amenities to accommodate all of the the adults and children in our group. The pool was a perfect spot to relax and the beach is just a short bike ride away. We would definitely come back and would not hesitate to recommend this house.

Great House!
Everything with the rental process was super easy and the house was amazing. It really satisfied all of our needs. The home is extremely spacious with plenty of areas for people to gather or find a quiet place on their own. We had 3 families staying here and the accommodations worked out beautifully. We also loved the location. It was so peaceful being on the golf course and we enjoyed our bike rides around the neighborhood and to the beach. I would definitely rent this house again.

Clean and spacious
This is a lovely home, with a wonderful view of the golf course. Plenty of room for our 4 adults and 7 children. Extremely clean, well stocked and with a nice location behind the second gate provided you don't mind a little bike ride to the beach. The pool is an added bonus.

Great Family Vacation
This house was great for us and our children and grandchildren. There was so much room, the kids loved the pool, and we loved the view over the golf course and lagoons. Very comfortable outdoor furniture. It was a very short bike ride to the beach The management company took care of the few things we needed immediately. We couldn't have been happier and would love to come back again in the future. Hope they add a few more bar stools. Other new furniture was great!
