We really enjoyed our stay! The house was very clean and well kept but older decor which was fine for our large family. We had direct beach access and beautiful view. The bike credit was great! We will be back.

Lovely property

Very pleased with this property, well stocked, spacious, easy close access to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. - tiny suggestion- it could use a full length mirror and a better porch table and chair, but we would definitely recommend it!

The location and size of the property were hard to top! Also really liked the layout of the bedroom if traveling with a large family so everyone had some space. My biggest feedback would be that the furniture definitely needs updating. There were a lot of stains on the living room furniture and the island seats due to a lot of use I'm assuming and just overall the house needs some freshening up/painting.

Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been coming to Kiawah for the past ten summers and have stayed in this house three times. It is our favorite place to stay because of the ocean view and close proximity to the beach and grocery store. We also like that we can bring our dogs with us. The house is spacious with an open floor plan and can easily accommodate our group of 8 (6 adults and 2 teenagers).

Family Beach Week

Had our adult children and grandchildren for a beach week. Was a great location, well stocked, very comfortable. The only negative was the outdoor spaces. The deck off the main floor had a spiral staircase that we never used and took up most of the space. The other 2 decks were off the bedrooms so we never used those. You had to walk thru the downstairs bedrooms to get to the beach path so we always went out the front, down the stairs and around the building. We should have brought a baby gate as the 2 year old was constantly trying to go up and down the stairs. Otherwise, was a very good rental.

Beautiful location

The location of the home was perfect…close to the walkway to the beach, lovely ocean views. It worked well for our large family. It was dog friendly which worked for us, but there was some dog hair from a previous dog visitor. Also, the master bedroom had a broken sleep number bed. It was hard as rock and wouldn’t inflate. The management company said it would bring over a mattress pad but never did. Also, several of the outside doors wouldn’t lock.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback of the home. We are truly sorry that the mattress topper never made it to you for the second half of your stay. We have passed your full comments to our team to investigate and address as needed. We have also advised our housekeeping partners of the cleanliness issues you mentioned with the pet hair to ensure that we are more diligent in the future.

Wonderful layout, but needed some attention

The layout was great, with my husband & I staying on the main floor, the oldest son as his family used the 3 bedrooms on the ground floor and my youngest son had the 2nd floor bedroom. However, there were several issues: the front door was hard to work and you had to turn it the opposite way to get it to open; the lock box also was hard to use; the ground floor master bedroom sliding door could not be locked (and it went to the outside); since there were 3 families we needed 3 parking places which was a little dicey; and several light bulbs needed replacing; and the condo could have been cleaned better than it was. Also, with a condo that size, 2 dishwashers would have been nice (it IS Kiawah, after all) and a few more plates, flatware in the kitchen.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of any issues experienced during your stay, as it does not appear that we were previously made aware of them. I have passed your comments to our property management team so they are able to investigate and address as needed. In regards to the parking, I can advise that our listing description and signed rental agreement both advise that the maximum parking allowed for this unit is 2. Any additional vehicles would have needed to make alternative arrangements. I am pleased to advise that no other guests have reported issues or complaints regarding the dishwasher, so believe that this is personal preference.

Beautiful Villa, location can't be beat!

The villa was very large and spacious! Bonus that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Especially loved the ocean views. There were a few maintenance issues (most didn't bother us, just wanted the property manager to know so we didn't get charged.) Property management was very responsive. The top floor master is beautiful; though like previous reviews, we did have issues getting it cooled. Overall loved the house and would certainly recommend!

50th Anniversary Getaway

The set-up of the home was wonderful for us, spacious and great views and connection to the beach. The weather was very strange, warm and foggy, but we made the best of it. Omicron kept us from exploring as much as we would have liked. We appreciated your little touches: soaps, tied towels, etc.

My family loved staying in this home for Thanksgiving. The boardwalk to the beach is just steps outside and the ocean views from the second and third floor are wonderful. Home is exactly as pictured. : )
