Comfortably modern, waterfront home with expansive views of the Abbapoola Creek. Conveniently located 10 minutes from Kiawah Island, 15minutes from your door to the beach, 20 minutes to downtown Charleston, 30 minutes to CHS International Airport, and about 5 minutes to JZI Executive Airport. Home is unassumably located on a short dirt/gravel road with plenty of character and southern charm. The Outer Banks films a few doors down each year and sets up base camp less than a mile away if you're into celebrity sightings! Aside from Kiawah Island, there are many recreational activities to undertake and sights to see within just a few miles. From Mullet Hall to Trophy Lakes or the Angel Oak, and Cherry Point to the Vineyards on neighboring Wadmalaw Island. Our home is new to VRBO, but we are not new to hosting friends and family together. We want your experience to feel like you're coming to your own home away from home. Our philosophy is to provide everything you'd need to prepare a meal, take care of your kids, and enjoy yourselves without the regret of forgetting ketchup, bread crumbs, and the like. We encourage you to consume what you need, but take care and appreciate our home as you would your own and pay forward items the next guest may need. Please, let us know too, if anything needs replenishing or if we can do anything to make the experience better! We want you to become a part of our growth as hosts and hope to always improve so you will continue to visit the Abbapoola Awaysis for years to come! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Ice maker - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Designated smoking areas - Note from host: Almost everything is negotiable.
