Private, Unique Home w/ Large 8 Foot Deep Pool, Walk to Beach, Water View

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!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Spring Break family reunion in Kiawah. This VRBO was very comfortable for all of us (ages ranging from 3 to 68), very conveniently located to the beach, and very well appointed and maintained. The pool was a huge hit with our 3 and 6 year-old granddaughters. We would definitely stay here again.

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!

This was our second time here. The house is clean and well located. It has a wonderfully stocked kitchen. The pool and deck are better than great. Our grandchildren loved it and spent most of the time in the pool. The adults loved it also. The beach is close and great to walk at dawn.

House was perfect for my family. 3 adult children their spouse and 2 grandkids. Pool was excellent and the walk to the beach was so short. Between pool and beach we also played golf, rode bikes and took grandkids to a great park. Perfect vacation, perfect location and the house was amazing Thanks

This is a very nice home with easy access to the beach. Lots of TLC by the owners, as the property does a great job of accommodating 6 adults and 3 teens. Everything very clean and great pool for swims before and after going to the beach. Our family has been on a Kiawah vacation for past 30+ years. Highly recommend this property..

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!

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.
