This is the perfect place to getaway and enjoy the beach and everything Kiawah has to offer. The views of the lagoon are spectacular and the screen porch was the perfect place to start the day and watch the sun go down. The credit for beach gear was a real plus. Everything was just as pictured and we definitely plan to stay here again.

Thank you for your comments. I've passed them to our housekeeping partners to ensure that we are all more diligent in the future. We appreciate you bringing it to our attention so that we are able to improve for the future.
This condo really fit all our needs for just 2. Bed was very comfortable, as was the couch. Loved the view of the pond where we could see some wildlife. And just a short walk to the beach. Kitchen was stocked with everything we could need, check in was easy and seemless as was checkout. Loved the beach gear credit as it was delivered right to our property. My only critique which is so minor is it could ise a fresh coat of paint. Cabinets and walls were dinged up from regular use. But obviously didn't affect our stay at all. We would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely condo tastefully decorated and well stocked. Could use a dustpan and brush though. Unit itself was clean but screened-in porch very dirty. Called Akers Ellis on 2nd day who said they'd send a cleaner but never did. Other than that very satisfied.

Thank you for your feedback. We will make sure the property has a dustpan and broom. We're sorry to hear of the porch being dirty. I do not see that we received any phone calls from you so perhaps you called the 3rd party you booked through. We would have been happy to send someone out to correct that!
The unit was advertised. We had some problems accessing the cable tv, but the managers were extremely responsive and took care of the problem quickly.
Minor issues include very uncomfortable pillows, and a heavy bed cover with no underlying blanket. Also, two tiny wrapped soap bars were supplied, and were so old and dry that when dropped on the shower floor they cracked into multiple pieces.

We appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback and notes regarding your stay. These have been passed to the property manager and housekeeping team for the villa to ensure they are addressed so that we may provide a great experience for our future guests.
This property was really clean, but the current residents (bugs: cockroaches) were everywhere. I called the rental office, they had someone come and spray. I still ran into 3-5 of them every day of my 7 night stay; these encounters were in the bathroom, kitchen, and bedroom. I did nothing to attract the pests. I ate all, but two meals outside with friends staying at another property. The water also tasted really musty and the shower smelled the same. I wouldn't stay at this place again.

Disappointing-Look elsewhere
I would avoid this property. We have stayed at Kiawah for many times over the years, but this was the most disappointing property we have ever encountered. When we arrived (i) there was a sign of an electrical fire in outlet in bathroom (blackened outlet), (ii) there was a leak in bathroom and floor was wet, (iii) carpets had many black stains, (iv) wasps on porch and screens hadn't been cleared in some time, and (v) paint was chipped in kitchen. The rental agency was able to check the outlet and fix the leak but it was clear that although the place was clean, no one had really inspected the place for some time. We would have given one star, but rental agency was fairly responsive to at least fix the outlet and leak, although carpet stains and other issues made the property second rate, especially for Kiawah.

We are again truly sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay. As noted, we did work diligently to address the pressing concerns that arose during your time at the villa. We have passed all of your comments to our team to review with the owners when discussing potential improvements and updates.
Clean and comfortable unit in a great location close to tennis and pickleball courts, the Sanctuary and beach access. On the second floor, it has a great view of the pond and it's wildlife. Very peaceful and quiet.
This was our first visit to Kiawah Island. We loved it! We had a lovely place to stay. I would definitely stay here again. It was a very peaceful, fun vacation full of biking around the island each day.
Stellar accommodations. What made it even more special was how easy it was to check in and out. The property owner was very easy to work with- will rent again!
This rental was perfect for my wife and I. We went to the beach, road bikes, and had fantastic meals at the surrounding restaurants. The rental was very clean and had everything we neeeded for cooking breakfast/lunch. While it is close to the beach, it is not ideal for walking if you have a lot to carry, so we drove our beach chairs and umbrellas out first, then came back and walked to the beach. The lagoon view was really peaceful. I would recommend just having a little more bath products. We had to run out for some shampoo. The bed was very comfortable. Overall we feel like this is a fantastic place to stay for a couple, and would highly recommend.
Beautiful Airbnb with great location. Loved the decorations and screen porch.

I can not say enough positive things about our experience with Akers Ellis Rentals. The entire process, from beginning to end, is flawless. The handy app is perfect not only for the information it provides, but for allowing you to check in and check out of your rental without making contact with an agent. Our rental was VERY clean, well supplied, quiet, and in a great location. This would be a wonderful place to visit anytime, but it is particularly appropriate for a "social distancing" escape! We will be back!

We were very pleased with the location of this unit -- very near the beach and lovely views of the lagoon where we saw gators, deer, birds, etc. The screened porch was perfect for morning coffee and wine in the evening; and during a brief rain, a wonderful place to sit and read. Will definitely book again!
Clean & Spacious with Terrific Deck Overlooking Lagoon
Within moments of arriving, we were saying "this property is the best ever." Condo was scrupulously clean, well stocked with basic necessities, and furnishings all seemed new. A short walk or bike ride to the beach. The deck facing the lagoon in the back was great. In the evening we played games on the deck and watched quite a lot of wildlife, including jumping fish, alligators and deer.

This is a beautiful lagoon view villa, it is decorated impeccably with a very beachy feel. It was clean and had everything we could possibly need. The best part is the view of the lagoon... You can sit on the beautiful sectional couch in the living room or you can sit on the screened in porch and listen to the birds and watch for alligators and deer. It’s also a very convenient and easy walk to the beach, Turtle Pointe golf club, Tommaso’s restaurant and The Sanctuary Hotel!
The property was super-nice and we enjoyed our weekend away. We enjoyed watching the alligators in the pond.

Very clean, nicely decorated, short walk to the beach. Bike Rental credit was a big plus but we had 1 bike with low air and it took more than 24 hrs to resolve. Since we were on a short stay the loss of a day was unfortunate. Kitchen has the basics but don't plan on any gourmet cooking (i.e. No cookie sheet or measuring cup and the pots and pans were in rough shape). I would stay here again.
