We appreciate your kind words. It is wonderful to know that 2479 Shipwatch’s convenient setting made it easy to enjoy time by the water. Having the beach just a short walk away helps create the relaxed coastal getaway we hope every stay provides. We would be happy to welcome you back for another peaceful visit.

Thanks so much for the great review of 2479 Shipwatch. We’re glad the bed and waterfront setting delivered the peaceful, couple-friendly retreat the home was meant to provide. Those quiet mornings by the water are a favorite for many guests, and it’s wonderful you experienced them. We’d be happy to host you again whenever you’re ready for another relaxing stay.

It was clean and exactly what I expected from the pictures. Very spacious. The only thing I think that could be better is to move the bed about 12 inches to the left away from the exterior wall. The person sleeping on the right needs to climb into the bed from the end of it. Overall it was a great place to stay.

Beautiful beach location

Nice, clean, attractive and modern condo with great access to retail options and a wonderful secure walkway to the gorgeous beach. Parking pass process was awkward, and it would be nice to have beach chairs and umbrella for guest use.

Overall Great!

Wonderful location with beach access and perfect size for 2 people for a weekend. Any group larger it would be very tight for a studio space with such a small kitchen area and sleeping arrangements. Easy check in, clean room and linens, and very comfortable bed made it great for what we needed

Great location and clean!

My wife and I go to Kiawah Island every summer for a golf tournament. This was our first time staying at Shipwatch and we both loved how close it was to the beach and to the front gate. We got to the Freshfields area every night so very convenient. The room itself was a great studio, very clean and cozy. Would highly recommend!

Small but nice.

We enjoyed this property. It could use a little updating but was nice overall and was clean. Fan & light on microwave would not work, broken drawer in kitchen, towel rank off the wall in the bathroom. Greatly appreciated the air worked great & always plenty of hot water.

Loved Kiawah, issues with property manager

The condo was nice and it's in a great location. Unfortunately, the property wasn't cleaned and ready for check-in until 5:30pm. In addition, the property manager forgot to tell us anything about the gate key for beach access, and we had to interrupt another portion of our day to retrieve it. Also, the patio and patio furniture were pretty dirty and unusable. I would stay at the property again but would like the property manager to tighten things up.

Hi Josh! Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear you ran into issues during your visit. Our homes are typically ready for 4:00 PM arrivals; we apologize for that delay. Please know that this is by no means our regular standard. We regret that you ran into further delays due to the gate key availability. We're notifying the local manager of your suggestion for the patio furniture to ensure it's cleaned for future guest use. We always like to hear how we can improve and provide guests with a better experience, and appreciate your feedback!
