About

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please keep A/C temperature above 70F for optimal comfort. It is recommended to set it at 72F. Remember to keep doors and windows closed to maintain a cool home and keep bugs out. Fridges may take 24 hrs to cool when loaded after cleaning. 
Please be aware & mindful that there are alligators throughout the fresh water areas of Charleston, SC. You should assume that there is an alligator in every pond, lake & fresh water river.  Please do not allow small children or dogs near the edge of these fresh water areas.  DO NOT feed or taunt the alligators!
Please note that there is construction ongoing throughout the Charleston area and on all of the Islands. Many of our managed homes are in areas where there has been intense real estate activity and there are almost continous home improvements going on in addition to the normal off season routine maintenance.

We don't get notice of construction projects but please let us know if you encounter excessive noise.  Contractors are required to obey all noise limits and working hour restrictions.   
BANNERS, BALLOONS & PARTY SIGNS
Please do not afix balloons, banners or other 'party' signs to walls, cabinets or other structures. These will remove the paint. You will be charged for the cost to repair each item damaged. The cost to repaint a wall can easily be $250 alone. 
Beds will be freshly made, towels* laid out and a starter set of amenities like soap, lotion and shampoo are provided too. We also provide a starter set of kitchen paper and toilet paper to get you going as well as some laundry and dish detergent. If you need additional supplies you will need to provide those beyond the starter set. 

*We provide 1 bath towel, 1 hand towel and 1 wash cloth per person. Additional towels are available to rent at an addional charge. Requests must be made more than 24 hours prior to check in. 
We get asked about Palmetto Bugs all the time. They can be pretty big, can fly and will scurry around the floor but they are largely harmless. They do occasionally come inside, especially at night and during or after any storms. Rest assured all of our homes are professionally treated at least quarterly for pests. Any bugs that manage to get inside will die quickly.

According to Eric Benson, Ph.D. professor and extension entomologist at Clemson University “It has nothing to do with cleanliness or the economic conditions of the area,” said Benson. “They could be around the nicest home or the nicest hotel or resort.”

If you leave the doors or windows open, especially at night, you will likely see a few. This is perfectly normal. If you see 20 or 30 all in one place then please let us know. This might mean we have a nest somewhere in the home and we'll need to get pest control out to take care of it. This is extremely rare!  

Please don't worry about bugs, enjoy your vacation. You'll likely not see any while you are here, we just include this note so you understand it's not unusual to see some and it doesn't mean the home isn't well looked after! 


 
We may have more availability than shown on our A i r b n b calendar. Reach out and ask if you are interested in booking one of our properties. 
Most community pools remain open from March through October but this does vary by resort and is subject to maintenance schedules and emergency closures for health reasons. Please contact us to see if the pool will be closed during your fall or winter vacation.

We do not manage any of these community pools and are not responsible for management of them. We do not provide refunds for pool closure.

Our vacation homes are located in quiet residential areas. We generally have great relations with our local neighbors and we want to keep it that way. Please pay particular attention to:

- No loud noises after 9pm. (Includes no Hot Tub use after 9pm)
- Only park in the designated areas (not on the landscaping) 
- Do not roll out trash to the street, trash service will do this
- Do not hang beach towels over railings or leave beach gear outside

- On Kiawah island - Bikes must be in the garage (if there is access) or in a designated bike rack or out of sight of the road after dark. 

- Beach Front Homes - TURTLE SEASON No lights visible from beach (May 1 to Oct 31)

The Cities will issue a ticket and a fine for these items. 

 
No barbeque grills of any kind are permitted on balconies or in the unit. No open flames (i.e., candle burning) are permitted on balconies or in the unit. Do not dismantle smoke detectors as they are there for your protection. Use the overhead stove fan when cooking to avoid accidental, activation of smoke detector alarm.

The guest will be charged a $200 repair and inspection fee for tampering with or deactivating a smoke alarm or noise monitor.

We do not recommend having mail sent to the address. If you must mail an item please make sure you specify that it must be delivered to the door and do so for a day that you will be at the home to recieve the mail.  We do not have access to locked mailboxes. 
We utilize third party professional service companies for the provision of Handyman Services, A/C & Heating Repair, Pest Control, Wildlife Removal, Plumbing Repair, Pool & Hot Tub Service, Electrical Repairs, Appliance Repairs and any other repair or maintenance of a technical or specialist nature.  We only used trusted, reputable professional service companies to assess, repair and replace equipment that needs attention. We will work with them to get the first available service appointment. Given the Post COVID economy it can be a challenge to get fast, timely service. Rest assured we will do our best to resolve issues quickly and our service providers understand our need for fast, reliable care.  Due to the global supply crunch, parts and even replacement units may not be available which can be frustrating. Please be patient as we work hard behind the scenes to make small miracles happen on a daily basis!

No one may perform any maintenance work on the home without our specific permission in writing.  
Our rates automatically adjust for the season as well as to reflect supply and demand. To access the best rate please begin the booking process on the iTrip Vacations Charleston Beaches site (don't worry you won't be charged until you're ready to book). This will present you our current up-to-date rates!
The person who makes the reservation must be over 25 years old and must be present during the entire stay.   A mobile number must be provided where we can contact the primary renter at all times. If code enforcement call us with any issues we need to be able to contact someone onsite with 60 minutes to address any issus or you may be liable for any fines imposed by the local government. 

We recommend adding a second mobile number to your account to make sure we can contact someone at all times. This second number may also be used to receive door codes in the event the first phone dies or is left in the unit. (It happens a lot and we are unable to provide codes to spouses or family members for security reasons). 
We want everyone to have a great stay but we understand that things may break or some items may get overlooked. We'll do our best to get them fixed (please review the “Maintenance House Rule” on what this means). 
 
We do ask that all guests TAKE TIME TO BE KIND.  Common courtesy goes a long way.  Sadly since the pandemic we have all witnessed an increase in aggressive or unacceptable behavior.  Our team has taken a lot of abuse and experienced some very unkind guests.   

Misunderstandings are one of the leading causes of guest complaints. Please make sure you read everything we send to you.  This include the entire rental listing, all of our house rules, all photos, all emails & texts and all the help articles in your iTrip account. This helps avoid misunderstandings in the first place. 
 
For our own safety and security we have a zero tolerance rule with guests who are rude, abusive, discourteous or argumentative.  We do not engage with those guests any more beyond asking them to read our TAKE TIME TO BE KIND policy.  
 

 
Our vacation homes are on a septic tank or a city sewer system. It is important that guests do not put large amounts of toilet paper or any other other products down the toilet.  We flush all toilets prior to a guests arrival to verify that they are working correctly. Any blockages that occur during the guests stay at the home are the responsibility of the guest to unblock. If a plumber is required to unblock a toilet then the guest will be charged $250 for that visit. 
Charleston and suburbs are charming places to stay.  It should be noted that Charleston is also a working Port City and has a large manufacturing base (including Boeing, Mercedes and other major international manufacturers). Since we are both very flat and surrounded my water sound at night can travel very far.  

Train noise, airplane noise, road noise and manufacturing noise may be audible during your stay depending on weather conditions and wind direction.

We do not offer refunds, credits or discounts in the event that you find these to be problem. Light sleepers should bring ear plugs or a white noise machine. Many phones can download a white noise machine too. They work well. 

We're available by text from 8am to 8pm. For urgent issues after 8pm please call this number for our After Hours service. They will alert us for urgent issues or leave a note for us for non-urgent issues. In emergency dial 911.  

Urgent issues include: Being locked out, water leaks. 

Emergency Issues include: Gas leaks. Fire. Life Safety Issues. Call 911. 

Issues that will typically be dealt with the next day include Air Conditioning issues.

Power Outages: These can be frequent on the islands. Power company's are quick to resolve. If it doesn't not appear to be a neighborhood wide outage please contact us. 

Buyer beware! We do not put any of our homes on Craig s list. If you see one of our homes on there it is a scam. Please NEVER send money to anyone posing as a host on Craig s list. If they send you a contract and they don't disclose their name it's an easy way to know that they are scammers. 

Please call or text us if you are not sure that the listing is genuine. 
We don't accept change requests for reservations within 60 days of the check in date. You should cancel and rebook your new dates.

If you book a pet friendly property then the following provisions (included in the rental agreement) apply:

  • ALL PETS ARE SUBJECT TO APPROVAL, please let us know what you would like to bring with you. 
  • WE ONLY ALLOW DOGS (Canis familiaris). THAT'S IT. 
  • The Pet fee for each approved dog is $90 per animal up to one month.

If there is no security deposit then the guest authorizes their credit card to be charged directly for the repair or clean up cost.  

We do NOT allow any animals other than DOGS, this means NO cats, NO birds (especially NO Parrots), NO livestock or other farm animals (Incuding domesticated pigs), NO insects, NO reptiles, NO Spiders, NO Ponies or other Horses and other 'exotic' pets.  In fact NOTHING OTHER THAN DOGS. (NO we don't allow dog-wolf hybrids either). This clause is dedicated to Airbnb and its guests who can't read or don't understand that parrots are not dogs. 

If you bring a non-approved Pet into the home there is a $500 clean up charge that will be applied to your account for each day the non-approved pet is present.

If the vacation home has the option of a heated pool please note that heating of the pool is available for an additional fee and heating is limited to 85F. All of our heated pools use propane which has to be delivered. Sometimes, due to the weather, the gas may run out before the next scheduled delivery. We will contact the gas company to schedule a refill as soon as we can but gas delivery can be difficult to arrange in Charleston. 

We don't recommend heating the pool when the ambient temperature is below 50F. This will drain the gas quickly. We do not provide refunds if the gas is used. If the pool heater isn't used and the gas is not used we can provide a pro rata refund based on days used. 

POOL & PATIO

If the premises include a private or community pool (including hot tubs), then the Tenant hereby acknowledges that the premises they have reserved include a community pool and the undersigned agrees and acknowledges that the community pool and patio/deck can be dangerous areas, that the deck/patio can be slippery when wet, and that injury may occur to anyone who is not careful. With full knowledge of the above facts and warnings, the undersigned Tenant accepts and assumes all risks involved to Tenant and all of Tenant's guests in or related to the use of the private or community pool (including hot tubs) and patio areas.

POOL & HOT TUB SERVICE


 All private pools and hot tubs are serviced weekly and this is NOT always on the day of a guest arrival as check ins occur throughout the week.  

Our team will skim the surface of the pool before your arrival but we cannot vacuum out the pool or hot tub as only the pool service company can do that.  The pool service company will take care of this every week and they also balance the chemicals. We have a lot of storms which may change the appearance of the pool water in our pools - this is normal. The pool service company will be out to take care of it as soon as they can. 

If you are using the hot tub, please rinse off all sunscreen and sand before entering the water. If the hot tub is left in a dirty condition your credit card will be charged $250 charge to have it pumped out, cleaned and rebalanced.  

Must be over 25 years of age to rent any property. 

Person making the reservation must be present during the stay. DO NOT BOOK FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

This was a lifeline for us!
5/5 stars
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!

Great vacation!
5/5 stars
We loved our stay at Sea La Vie! It was very clean, and just like the pictures. It was perfect for our family, and just a short walk to the beach. We are planning on returning! The only thing that would have made it better is more paper products being provided, ie an additional roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and an additional roll of paper towels.

Wonderful Experience!
5/5 stars
We had a wonderful experience with ITrip beginning to end. Steven was very responsive to answer all my questions before our trip. When we arrived the house was very clean and well stocked and there was even wine and cookies waiting after our long day of travel. Our family loved the location. It was so convenient and close to the beach and we were able to take our two dogs along. We had an issue with the lock not working due to a dead battery and Steven was quick to respond and it was fixed within an hour! Really great customer service! Thanks for opening your home to us and for making our trip so pleasant!!

Great week on KI!
5/5 stars
We had a great time on KI and a wonderful stay in Sea La Vie. Steven with management was great to work with, quick to respond to questions and provided ample information on check in and out. Villa had everything we needed, was clean, and kitchen was well-stocked. It’s pet friendly so we were able to have our two labs join us on vacation. Only a 5-7 min walk to the beach. The porch is great for watching all the different wildlife. Overall, a great week!

We definitely enjoyed our 3 nights! The villa was nice and clean. It was a great trip with my husbands family and a great first beach trip for our fur baby! The bike trails were very nice. Sadly we were only there for 3 nights. We will definitely have to come back for a longer stay.

Spring Break at Kiawah
5/5 stars
A wonderful trip to Kiawah island and Charleston. The weather wasn’t fantastic but that didn’t stop us from getting out and about to enjoy all that the area has to offer. Sea La Vie was a great base, allowing us to get away from downtown Charleston but still be close enough, bike rides, walks, beach time and lots of great food at Kiawah and in Charleston. The apartment was well stocked with everything we needed, very clean and comfortable. The iTrip team was responsive and helpful in planning and providing discount codes for our bikes. A great trip.

Great Escape!
5/5 stars
SeaLaVie is a Kiawah Island treasure! Nestled in the trees, backing up to a quiet lagoon, and an easy walk to the beach. The hosts anticipated all of our needs. Our dogs enjoyed their stay as much as we did! We will definitely be back.

Comfortable stay on Kiawah
5/5 stars
My wife and I (+ dog) stayed in this very nice apartment for 2 weeks in February as a “work-cation.” Clearly this unit has had some upgrades recently. Kitchen cabinets were all new and very nice. Shower tiling and fixtures in the master bath seemed new. Bed in master had a very comfortable “memory foam” mattress. We didn’t utilize the bed in the guestroom but I think it was also a memory-foam bed. Very quiet and nice view (with deck) out the back onto one of Kiawah’s ponds. I’d estimate it was ~7 minute walk to the beach which was nice. We cooked most meals in and found it had all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed. Washer/Dryer worked without a hitch. The hard-surface flooring also seemed new and nice. The carpet could probably stand a cleaning, but it’s a dog-friendly unit: I’m sure every dog visiting sits on the carpet close to the front door awaiting its owners! Internet (AT&T) was good. We had one blip on the first day we were there when it seemed to go out, but that was short-lived (~10 minutes). I set up my computer on a small work table in the guest room which is on the opposite end of the unit from the router and it was functional (streamed video meetings, etc.) but not super-fast. Simply moving the router up off the floor from where it is positioned would probably help. TVs were strategically placed and had good service. Check-in/Check-out were smooth with lots of helpful information and links provided up-front. We had no need to contact our hosts during our stay. We would recommend this apartment to others and would stay again.

37th Wedding Anniversary
5/5 stars
My husband & I stayed at Sea La Vie for 4 days for our 37th Anniversary. It was pure relaxation! From the immaculate condo , to the amazing location , nothing could have been more perfect. We enjoyed long bike rides, walks on the beach & delicious dinners at the local FreshFields Village. Everything was right there ! Also, one of the best things about this condo is that it is pet friendly!! We so enjoyed having our fur babies with us ❤️ On the drive home , we even stopped at The Angel Oak. Absolutely amazing ! We highly recommend Sea La Vie for your next adventure 😊

Another wonderful stay at Sea La Vie!
5/5 stars
This was our second time staying with Sea La Vie and we enjoyed our time even more!! The condo is so perfect for our family with two lovely bedrooms, a spacious living area and a kitchen with the things you need while traveling. My 3 year old, 1 year old and dog enjoyed their stay and my husband and I appreciated the quick walk to and from the beach!

Perfect Villa
5/5 stars
I’ve been coming to Kiawah for 28 years. This is the nicest villa I’ve stayed in. Last summer I came with my husband and my dog. When I was booking my beach vacation for this year with just my daughter, I knew to book this one. Perfect little walk to the beach; nice cozy deck off the back for morning coffee and late night relaxing. Beautifully decorated inside. The owners are super nice too. I’d be interested in booking this villa in the winter when we come down to look for a place to buy for a retirement.

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.

5/5 stars
We were very pleased with the Villa, Sea la Vie. Nice updates in kitchen and bathrooms. Walk in showers were especially nice. Soft close cabinet doors and drawers were a nice surprise. Oven was immaculate. All the equipment you need to cook was there. I only wish they had continued the laminate flooring into the bedrooms. Will certainly recommend to friends. The Groves

Everything we could have wanted
5/5 stars
We rented the condo to participate in my daughter's beach wedding. The rental process was easy, communications were clear and the unit was well-maintained, clean and comfortable. It was nicely equipped, including necessary supplies, kitchen/dining tools and beach needs. The bed was comfortable. Our "grand dog" spent one night with us; we all slept soundly. Anyone needing a pet-friendly 2 br unit in the West Beach area would be well advised to choose Sea La Vie.

Nice getaway!
5/5 stars
My husband and I had a nice getaway for 4 nights and enjoyed our stay! Love how close the beach was and beautiful updates inside. We didn’t cook while we were there but the kitchen looked well stocked. Our two small dogs enjoyed their walks every morning and we enjoyed the bike trails. Kiawah is a beautiful quiet island and we would definitely stay here again! When I had a question about how to get to the off leash part of the beach, Steven was quick to get the answer for me and very helpful with any questions we had!

Beach trip
5/5 stars
Lovely condo. very clean when we arrived and there was a nice welcome package waiting for us at the door. It was nice to be able to bring our two small dogs which many places don’t allow and the check in and out process was well organized. It was also conveniently located near the beach and a great deal off season.

We stayed at Sea laVie for 3 weeks. It was very comfortable and well appointed. A short 5 minute walk to the beach made early morning exercise a joy. Also loved evening bike rides to the nearby nature tower. It is a very peaceful place with a lovely balcony for morning coffee or tea. We would return!

We loved our 2nd stay at Sea La Vie! When we first entered, it felt like home. We will definitely plan our 3rd visit soon. The villa is very clean and comfortable in a perfect location for bike trail and beach lovers and dog walkers. Our Mini Golden Doodle, Molly, gives it 4 paws up.

Wonderful and relaxing stay
5/5 stars
My husband, dog and I had a great stay at Sea La Vie. The place is clean, renovated, and a short 5-10 minute walk from the nearest boardwalk to the beach. We loved having access to a full kitchen, laundry amenities, and full table. I was able to work remotely with no issues (construction was largely finished around the complex). Highly recommend staying here on your next trip to Kiawah!

Great Property
5/5 stars
Communication with property manager before our trip and during our stay was outstanding. Condo was spotless and just as advertised. Had a nice note, bottle of wine and cookies as a welcome basket. Condo was very attractive and comfortable. Great property for a couple (we are retired). Very easy walk to the beach and walking and bike path is right outside the front door. Highly recommend this property and we plan to return. We were also able to bring our pup as this is a pet friendly property.

Mainly used for sleeping, but everything seemed to be as advertised. Only minor thing was the ice maker seemed to make ice very slowly, but there was two ice trays to help out, so no big deal. Would stay there again.

Thanks Mitchell! Ice makers can be slow when used heavily (especially during this heatwave!) so we do put the ice trays out to help! Steven

Amazing Anniversary Week!
5/5 stars
Thank you so much for an amazing week at Sea La Vie! The condo is not only beautiful but comfortable. The condo had everything we needed in order to cook during the day and the island had everything we wanted for dinner options! It was a home away from home. The staff who take care of the condo were wonderful. They left us treats to start the week and even checked in to make sure we were having a great time and to see if we needed anything! Thanks again for making our 25th wedding anniversary unforgettable!

Amazing Vacation!
5/5 stars
We really enjoyed our stay at Sea La Vie! The villa was comfortable, clean, quiet, relaxing, beautiful and had everything we needed. Our Golden Retriever gives it four paws up. We had our bikes with us. There is access to the beautiful bike trails right out of the parking lot. The golf courses are amazing. And it is a short walk to the beach. If you bring your dog, we recommend the very dog friendly Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. And take your dog with you to eat at the Tattooed Moose only 20 minutes away. We are already planning another visit to Kiawah Island for next spring.

Sounds like a pawfect vacation! Hope to see you again next year! Steven
