Top Notch Beachfront Rental

7 adults and 6 teenagers filled this home with room for a few more, and the place is exceptional! The views of the ocean and Turtle Point hole 14 green were amazing, the rental agent communication was outstanding, and the house lacked nothing that one would need for a week on Kiawah! Would DEFINITELY recommend!

Family Gathering

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed a Five Star experience all the way! The home is gorgeous with abundant luxury design features. It is very well maintained and perfectly located. There were a couple (very fixable) items that came up, which Akers Property managers attended to immediately. It was the perfect setting for us to gather with our adult children and their families. We highly recommend this property!

We had a great visit back in July

Just now getting around to posting but I would say we had a 5 star experience. The house was beautiful and the rental company was very helpful. We are wanting to rent it again this year if we can all get off work the same week.

Felt like royalty!

This was my large family's first trip to Kiawah and let me tell you- this place did not disappoint! It is drop dead gorgeous, spacious, clean and the property manager was so helpful. He was there when we checked in, gave us a tour and made sure we got settled in okay. The customer service was amazing.

Perfect Rental Home

Kiawah is one of our favorite vacation spots. We love the beaches, the golf and all that the area has to offer. The house is a grand home with all the amenities one would ask for and more. The kids adored the pool was a wonderful feature as well as the outdoor showers which fit our needs so well. We really appreciated the proximity of the house to the beach, you have your own private boardwalk which was perfect because we had two that were just learning to walk. The house is exceptionally spacious with excellent bedroom and full bath facilities. The common areas were very spacious and comfortable with tv's in all rooms including bedrooms. This is too beautiful of a home. Overall, we would definitely return to this property and recommend it to others. Thanks again!

Perfect

We had two families with a total of 12 people. This home was perfect for us. We totally enjoyed our stay! The property manager was very helpful showing us around the home at arrival. The home was spotless, you can tell it's a newer property. The location is perfect with views of the course and ocean views. You have your own beach access! I was very satisfied with the stay overall and if we come back we will be looking here first! Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.

Amazing Home on Nicklaus Lane

Amazing house, great location and beautiful views! You can tell the owners spared no expense. The house is very accommodating, beautifully decorated, has lovely high end appliances and a well appropriated kitchen (I like to cook, and there is a wine cellar). The beds were very comfortable which is not always the case in many rental properties. I just can't say enough. We had a wonderful and pleasant stay, and we loved that a property manager met us at the house to explain the ins and outs to us. The bike trails are the best! We loved riding through the gorgeous neighborhoods and on the beach! So much to do here. This location is our family's favorite! You are right on the beach and practically every room has a view. The outdoor showers were definitely a plus, so that the little ones weren't tracking in sand all week. We will definitely be looking into returning next summer. Thank you!

The best property we have stayed at!

This year was our fourth year at Kiawah with our family of 16 people, and this house was by far our favorite! It is a perfect vacation week home for us -- clean, well-kept, with plenty of room, no crowding, beautiful surroundings, and lovely spaces and opportunities to get together. The home is updated with the most advanced gadgets, and we even had a wine cooler. You really cannot beat the view of the golf course and then out to the ocean! When we return we will be looking into this rental again first and foremost.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house is stunning! You can see the ocean from almost every room and it had everything you could need for a great Kiawah vacation. The gentleman who greeted us and gave us a quick tour was so nice and accommodating. The house is very open and inviting and we spent most of our time outside on the many decks/balconies enjoying the views. We didn't want to leave! We've been to Kiawah many times and this is one of the best!
