Oak, pine and Palmetto trees frame the picturesque Kiawah River and surrounding marsh behind this two-story home located in the West Beach area of Kiawah Island. The Marsh View nature observation tower is tucked away at the end of the street. With a walled garden at the entry of the home and a large screened porch and deck on the rear, everyone can find a quiet place to relax outdoors. Views of the Kiawah River and marsh become even more intimate at high tide when a finger of the river creeps to just a stone's throw from the deck. The beach is an easy bike ride away, as is the Straw Market shopping area. With four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, this large home can accommodate up to eight guests. Guests enjoy wireless internet access. Square Feet: 2579
