Great Location. Very nice inside. Loved the screened-in porch.

Home is very clean, well appointed and comfortable. The view from the screened porch overlooking the river was so beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed watching the birds, dolphins and sunsets from the porch. Would definitely rent here again.

Outstanding views

This property has the best views of any Inlet Cove unit I've ever seen. You're right on top of the water, with a private dock area and a screened-in porch. So close you can hear the dolphins come up for air! Absolutely gorgeous and tranquil, even with the construction happening nearby. The kitchen is well-equipped, and furnishings were nice and comfortable. Overall we had a wonderful time and would certainly stay again, but I would recommend adding TVs to all the bedrooms (only one had a television), and providing a grill, beach chairs, and flashlights. Also the master bathroom could use a bit of touch up work (fresh paint and replace a few missing shower stones). We've rented through Sweetgrass several times now, and have always found them to be courteous and quick to address any problems we've encountered.

We love this rental because of the spectacular view -- any time of year and any kind of weather. Some of the appliances are a little too basic and showing their age, but that's not why we come to Kiawah. We just love the location.

We have vacationed on Kiawah many times for almost 30 years and our favorite house to rent has always been 5 Inlet Cove because of its beautiful decor and its wonderful screen-porch view of the Kiawah River and the salt marshes. Our visit this year did not disappoint and fully met our expectations. Easy access to Beachwalker Park and all the Kiawah bike-paths is a definite plus, as well as use of the Inlet Cove pool. Here is my only suggestion: The ability to enjoy use of the TV in any hotel room or rental in recent years has depended on the ability to stream from a laptop or mobile device for anything other than local programming. I was able to figure out how to connect to the Roku TV through its Apple TV icon from my iPhone, but it took some trial and error. Clear and prominent instructions for streaming would be very helpful.

Great views

This was our second time staying at this home and it is amazing. Beautiful river views, glorious sunsets, community pool and easy access to the beach. Proximity and home features were great.

Nice week at the beach

We enjoyed our vacation in Kiawah. We stayed at 5 Inlet Cove for 7 nights and overall would rate the place as “Good”. The river/marsh views from the back porch were amazing, especially at sunset and the screened in porch got a ton of use from our family. The location of the unit is private yet close to the pool, a short bike ride to the beach, and not too far from the Freshfields village. The interior was pleasant with a beach theme and space to both eat inside/outside or watch a movie at night. We did have a few issues which were addressed when we called the handyman/property manager (Chris) who was super responsive and courteous and came by to take a look promptly. First, the refrigerator/freezer struggled to produce ice. Chris ended up ordering a new water filter (which he installed as soon as it arrived) but unfortunately that didn’t really make a difference. We ended up buying a couple bags of ice and putting them in the freezer. No biggie but hopefully that gets addressed for future guests. Additionally, for a place that sleeps 6 and charges almost $1000/night, you’d think it would come with access to bikes or beach chairs or even more than 1 towel/person without having to rent or pay extra. Lastly, when we arrived, there was a crib in one of the bedrooms, a stroller and beach toys were left scattered under the house from previous guests, the closet door in one of the guest rooms was off the hinges, and the shower in the J&J bathroom had a faulty drain plug. Each of those things were minor by themselves but in total kind of annoying and should have been taken care of before our arrival. Again, overall rating of “good” based largely on location and views.

Spectacular View

Inlet Cove #5 has a spectacular view of the Kiawah river and marsh. We enjoyed sitting on the screened porch watching the sun set, dolphins, and variety of birds. The furnishings in this unit have been recently upgraded. The couch, chairs, and beds were comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. It is our favorite vacation rental at Kiawah.
