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.
The house was as advertised. New and all photos accurately reflected the house. Akers Ellis was responsive to queries about pool, spa and door lock. Kitchen was well equipped but missing a pitcher for iced tea! Had trouble locking front door- would be nice if instructions provided ahead of time- spent night 1 with furniture propped near front door. Also, 3-4 Palmetto bugs found inside which was upsetting to find. Disappointed that fireplaces were just art and not functional.
Overall great place to stay

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback of the property. Unfortunately, as we are in the coastal woodlands, Palmetto bugs in our properties are not an uncommon sight. As per our rental agreement, fireplaces are unavailable for guest use at this property. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay regardless! We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for your next trip to Kiawah.
