Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback of the property. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for your next trip to Kiawah.
This house was perfect. It was welcoming with all the amenities needed to accommodate the whole family. We enjoyed the short bike ride to the beach and the heated pool! We cooked most nights but restaurants were close by when we wanted to venture out. Location was perfect and the house was clean and comfortable. We would love to come back!
I highly recommend staying here! The house was awesome and had plenty of room (we had 11 people staying). Besides the house being perfect for us, we spent most days on the back deck, in the pool, or down at the beach (which is only a 10 minute walk). Also, it's very close to the entrance to Kiawah Island, which is nice so you don't have a long drive through the island to get in and out. It's also less than a 10 minute drive to plenty of food options and grocery stores. I'd definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful time at this Greensward Rd home. We were very comfortable, the pool was awesome, and looking at the wildlife next door was a treat for our kids. We took advantage of bike rentals to ride around the neighborhood and take the quick ride to the beach. Our kids are already asking us to go back!
Our only issue was that the pool heater needed to be turned on by the property manager on our second day so we did lose one day of swim time. We also needed a corrected wifi network/password but the property manager was able to get that to us timely as well.

Good afternoon,
We are so pleased to hear that you and your family enjoyed your stay with us! Please feel free to reach out to us directly when you are ready to plan your next trip to Kiawah.
We look forward to welcoming you back as a valued guest!
Kind Regards,
Akers Ellis Management
Very easy process. House was just as pictured and was so clean and so well put together. We really enjoyed it and had breakfast and lunch there every day. We would
Definitely rent there again.
This home has everything and is the perfect distance to all Kiawah Island has to offer. We had an absolute blast and plan on returning to this exact home next year. The garage suite is perfect for those members of your group that need to escape the kid chaos or if they are the only ones with kids and need their own separate space.
The pool was a huge hit and was already heated when we arrived. Beautiful kitchen with all utensils and dishware u could need. Even have a spice cabinet with things such as salt, pepper, olive oil, syrup, old bay, etc.
I honestly can not think of one negative thing to say about the property

This was an extended family vacation for 9. 2 could't at the last minute come d/t an injury and a company commitment. This started things off less than perfect. But the house, pool, and beach were perfect and we had an amazing family time with games, delicious food and connectedness we would never have had without being together.
Great house. Clean and as advertised. Would stay here again.
Loved spending Christmas at Kiawah and this house fit our family perfectly.

Reviewer Comments:
Well-maintained property. Went to the beach during the day. Had wonderful weather the entire time not a raindrop in sight. Slightly worried about how crowded it was going to be at the beach because of Covid but was not crowded at all. Walking to the beach is manageable but if you’re carrying a lot of stuff down there it’s easier just to drive down closer and have one person take car back and walk down or ride a bike after they take car back. Pool was nice for the evening time. Just make sure to get WiFi password from side of router as the password provider was wrong.
Second time in Kiawah, first in West Beach, and loved it. Easy bike access to beach (via streets boardwalk 10, via bike path boardwalk 8b) and new Cougar Point golf club and Freshfields, yet still remote enough to have baby deer visit the property and not see any other houses from our yard. We all loved having our own pool which was clean and warm. Due to Covid we ate almost every meal in and had no trouble finding appropriate cookware to do so. Bedding and linens were nice. Whole house felt new and clean. Would highly recommend, for the location and private pool I don’t think there is anything even close to this in this price range!

This is a cute 4 bedroom house in West Beach. The pool was the best part for our family as we have a 6 and 10 year old. House is in good shape and we liked the West Beach location. Quick beach access if you take the bikes paths! Very pleased with this house. Only thing is that there are no beach towels, so if you're flying in (like us) you would have to pack them. :( Otherwise, just remember to pack your own.

Overall a positive experience, however the house does need an overall cleaning, the kitchen supplies, such as dishes were in short supply. The pool and patio was most enjoyable. The floors needed to be better cleaned and there was dirt on the doorways and floor. We called the real estate twice on our arrival date, asking when we could access the house but never received an notification. No one from Akers ever contacted on arrival or anytime during our week. The trash area needs to have a major clean up and better notice of trash and recycle pick up das.

Thank you for your comments and we are glad to hear that you had a positive experience! We are sorry to hear to hear about the cleaning issues, we will speak with housekeeping about this directly. We are sorry for any miscommunication but we do e-mail all of our guests mid stay to check in and see how their stay is going and if they need anything. Also, the blue binder in the home provides information on the very front page in terms of trash & recycle pick up days.

This is the 3rd time we have rented this house on Greensward so it’s easy to say that we really like it. Upon arriving in May we thought the house looked brighter and even more inviting so we were speculating that it might have been recently painted. Regardless everything seemed fresh and clean. The pool worked out great for our two grandsons, both under 18 months. It’s an easy bike ride to the beach and a nice ride to Freshfields. We would not hesitate to rent this house again. I should also mention that we rent from Akers Ellis often - usually a few times a year and their properties never disappoint.
