Renovated Pet-friendly Kiawah Island Villa. 5 Min Walk to Beach! Close to Cougar Point Clubhouse!

Looking for a charming & comfortable villa located close to the beach and near more activities than you can pack into one vacation on what readers of Conde Nast Traveler have voted as the "No. 1 Island to Visit in the U.S. Mainland"? Then SEA LA VIE is the villa for you! Sea La Vie, a beautifully renovated villa located on a lagoon within the Fairway Oak Villas on Kiawah Island, is a quick 5 minute walk from the crashing waves & luxurious sand on Kiawah's pristine West Beach.

Kiawah Island is a private access, park-like gated community with a very unique conservation approach. Surround yourself in the splendor of Kiawah Island's stunning natural beauty, which features rolling sand dunes, lush seaside forests, beautiful marshland and freshwater ponds. You'll feel your stress levels melt away as you bike or walk the 30+ miles of trails, kayak through the marsh waters, hunt for sharks' teeth & shells on the 10-mile long beach along the Atlantic Ocean, spend a soothing afternoon at the spa, play a round of golf, take tennis lessons with a pro or read a book in a lounge chair on the beach. Be sure to check out Kamp Kiawah & nature programs for your kids, take a drive to nearby Charleston, SC and visit the tea plantation on Wadmalaw Island! Sea La Vie's convenient location (near West Beach, Cougar Point Golf Club, the main gate to Kiawah Island, Freshfields Village & Bohicket Marina) gets you quick access to all those activities and more. Reserve this beautiful condo for your next Kiawah Island getaway today!

Kiawah Island weekend getaway

I boom Sea La Vie for a weekend getaway for my daughter my granddaughter her friend and myself. The accommodations were perfect. There was only one problem. It’s called weather. It rained the whole time. Therefore we did not get to check out much of the island.

Last Minute Weekend Getaway

We booked a last minute weekend getaway to the beach! This was a great villa at Kiawah Island. We really enjoyed the villa and the short walk to the beach! We also enjoyed the scenic view from the villa. We had a Great Blue Heron that stayed by the pond right out side the back of the villa. The furnishing and well-stocked kitchen were great! It was a short trip, but fun and enjoyable! We look forward to booking this villa again and hopefully planning on staying longer next time, but if not, we will return for another long weekend getaway!

Great place to stay

We loved the place. The only downside, which is out of the property’s control was the misquitos we’re so bad we could barely stand being outside. Bring a lot of big repellent

This was a lifeline for us!

Hurricane Helene devastated our community and our town (but fortunately, not our home). Instead of crying, we decided to get out of town with our dogs and spend a few days not worrying about anything. We were so fortunate to find the perfect place! Great villa, great location, and a very helpful management company. We were so happy to stay here! Thanks so much for working with us on this rental!

Nice Visit

Check in was the easiest. Just show up. :-). Early check in notice was very helpful. Villa was very well cleaned. Everything thing worked as it should. Felt a little too bombarded with constant rules/regs emails. Considering the cost of rental and cleaning felt the charge for a pet was excessive. Will stay here again.

This unit worked well for us. I can’t think of anything that we needed with the exception of containers to hold leftovers from our gatherings. I realize these would disappear every season.
