Before any Pacaso owner steps inside their new home, our team has already spent hours perfecting every detail– rearranging the layout, curating furniture, and fine-tuning the in-home experience. The result is a space that doesn’t just look beautiful, it lives beautifully, too.
We call this expert touch, Design Certified: our promise that each Pacaso is ready for luxurious, intuitive living from day one. And Blue Heron, one of our spectacular homes on Kiawah Island, is a prime example of this elevated standard.

What sets Blue Heron apart

Nestled in Kiawah Island’s lush wetlands, this home exudes Southern charm and hospitality. Light-filled interiors and refined design create a sophisticated retreat, while expansive living spaces and nearby nature trails offer room to connect and explore.But what makes this home truly exceptional is that every design choice is intentional, with details that elevate it from the inside out.We asked a few Pacaso team members who helped bring Blue Heron to life what stood out most to them:
"I really love the custom triptych we had painted for the living room. It allows everyone to have something beautiful to look at, even if they're sitting with their backs to the gorgeous marsh views. I also love the gazebo on the back deck-- It seems like the perfect peaceful nook to enjoy your morning coffee or play a game of cards with your family!" Camille Selis, Junior Interior Designer "The custom skirted dining chairs are super practical with the casters but also elegant and design-forward with a nod to southern design style." Lauren Farrell, Principal Interior Designer “I like that the home can feel like a small family home with just immediate family, or, if you’re traveling with friends and teenage or slightly older kids, you can use the guest house. I also like the proximity to the marsh, as well as the recently renovated walking trail right beside the home.” Dalton Burns, Maintenance Manager
