Waterfront holiday rentals in James Island

My husband and I stayed at Daphne's place in Kiawah Island for a spring break getaway. It was exactly what we needed! This was our first time in Kiawah; we knew we wanted easy access to the beach, and Daphne's place certainly made that possible. The villa is just steps from the beach via a boardwalk. The beach was both private and peaceful. While spending time at the villa, we thoroughly enjoyed the screened in porch as we sipped our morning coffee. Looking forward to coming back again in the future!

Nikki's place was exactly as described; perfect in every way. Her instructions were very easy to follow for check in. And when we walked in, everything smelled and looked very clean. The view from our condo was beautiful, and the easy access to the pier and beach was so close and convenient. Coffee shops, grocery and restaurants were near and walkable. The Handbook was very helpful with listing everything inside the condo, and also good recommendations for restaurants and activities. Nikki thought of all the little details to make our stay so comfortable!

This house was a lot of fun for our family. My kids loved all the fun additions like ping pong, records player, and Games. They thought the turtles off the back deck were great! There was plenty of room for us to comfortably spread out. The owners have done a nice job re-decorating and updating this home. It’s really stylish and on trend. Our only complaints were a few missing things like screens on the windows, curtains on the first floor window, and several items in the kitchen that we missed—cutting board, colander, toaster. But well stocked with towels and toiletries, which we really appreciated.

Great stay! Way nicer than a hotel stay. Nice architecture inside, plenty of room. All the small amenities like coffee, tea, snacks, water made a huge difference for us. Quiet, never knew anyone else was on property. Easy check in and check out. There are stairs getting to apartment. Richard was easy to work with…will stay again when we return.

Great location close to the beach. Jerry was a great host. Loved the dock

This host was very easy to communicate with and provided a very clean private apartment to lodge in on Daniel Island.

The condo was exceptional. Four really nice bedrooms and baths. The kitchen was very very well stocked. The voucher for beach gear was ok, but the items delivered were worn — some to the point of being unusable. However the company brought fresher items at our request. Don’t use voucher to get chairs and umbrellas. Rent the ones set up on the beach each day by a different company. They are much sturdier. Use voucher for bikes or beach games. The view is great. Completely enjoyed our time there. Would rent again any day.

The place was very nice and we really enjoyed ourselves. The smallest issue that we could come up with was the TV's were really outdated but besides that the place was spectacular and the area that the home was located was excellent and a beautiful ride to get to it. The pictures was didn't really do it justice the place was very beautiful and the beach was literally behind the home. My wife and I loved it!!!

Wonderful all around! This home is in a great location that is a close drive to the Charleston area but escapes the traffic and crowds with spaces for relaxing, enjoying a morning coffee on the deck, or eating a meal together. Quiet and comfortable, thoughtfully prepared for renters - dogs & humans alike! A gem. Highly recommend Peek at the Creek!

Loved the house and location. We are already planning a weekend trip with some family members!

We enjoyed this Airbnb a lot! Lovely views back and front and the beach is maybe 3 minutes walk (look for the public access sign to the left, about three houses down). Great shower! Lovely kitchen! Comfy sofas! If we ever come back to folly beach, we would love to stay again. For the mobility challenged, it is only 12 steps to front door, unlike a lot of neighboring houses, which are on stilts and have 25+ steps. 😁

We enjoyed the house and it was larger than the pictures capture. we liked the openness of the kitchen, dining and living space. Great outdoor spaces as well. Quick walk to the beach and to a back dock overlooking the marsh. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. All was as advertised. Everything was clean and worked well. Definitely a great option!

Great spot to explore the area. Would stay again if in the area.

The house was perfect for our family of 4. Kids loved playing outside on the rope swing, taking the kayaks on the river, and watching wildlife from the dock. The property is beautiful with a gorgeous view of the Bohicket River, oak trees dripping in Spanish moss, and azaleas and fruit tress blooming. Cyndi and Stephen are kind as can be and wonderful hosts. We loved exploring the area, too. The beach at Kiawah Island is a quick drive and absolutely lovely.

We come to Folly every year and the Marsh House is our new favorite! It’s right across the beach for sunrise walks and has the best marsh views at sunset. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog and the warm water in the outdoor shower was a nice surprise. When we had an issue with the hose, Donald was very responsive and came by the next day to replace it without even being asked. We really appreciated this as a hose is essential for sandy beach trips and washing off the pup. We’ll definitely be back!

Great host and looking forward to possibly staying here next year!!

Mona's place is a hidden gem in Wild Dunes. The unit was very clean, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking and eating in if you want, and the washer / dryer appear to be new. The biggest plus is that the unit is only steps from the beach. We would highly recommend.

Very nice stay, the view of the pond was beautiful.

This was the perfect get away for my daughter and me. We had a great girls trip. The location was perfect for our needs. The owner was very friendly and reached out to check on us and answer questions during our stay. I would highly recommend this adorably renovated beach condo.

The Condo was exactly as described. Thomas was very responsive with any questions we had. No issues arose at all. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Folly Beach

So enjoyed our stay!! Was everything it said & more!! Would definitely return!!

Very nice place! Easy to walk to everything. Grocery store very close and multiple restaurants within a half mile to walk. Would recommend to anyone.

Awesome place loved how clean n cozy the entire home was for me and my children. Annette responds promptly and was an amazing host. Would definitely stay here again with my family

The view is WORTH it!!!!!!! There is an elevator to take you to the condo! The condo was very, very clean!!! It is decorated in a typical homey Southern beach style. The kitchen is small (it does a good job of not taking away the view) but it does have absolutely everything you need to have gourmet meals . Beach access is super close and easy! The beach was extremely peaceful and NOT crowded!!! Harris Teeter is approx 1 mile away~ The first floor is wheelchair/walker friendly. I would recommend for families or those enjoy stunning sunrises and sunsets~
