AMAZING Property

Not sure there are enough words to express how special this home AND location are. The home is STUNNING. The space for everyone is fantastic. The screened in porch was wonderful. The kitchen has EVERYTHING you need and more! The beds were very comfortable. If you are debating heating the pool, just do it. It is VERY cold, if left unheated, as it is shaded. Some may love that, but it wasn’t extremely hot the week we were there and the pool was definitely too cold for our group. The bike rental and bike rides to the beach were so pleasant and fun. Renting chairs and umbrellas to be delivered to the beach is definitely the way to go! This was the best trip our family has ever taken, and a huge part of that was how incredible this location was.

Serene, Clean, Spacious, Well-Stocked Kitchen

We extended our stay at this lovely home that includes a screened back porch situated next to a small, wooded area which leads to a pond and in the near distance, a golf course. The porch extends across the back of the house so multiple guests can take advantage of the view. Kiawah has a few restaurant options, but if you're staying for more than a few days, you'll likely want to cook at home. This kitchen makes that easy because it is well-stocked with cooking and baking tools (not always the case in rentals). The main sitting area in the house had multiple, comfortable seating options. I'd stay here again.

Nice house, too bad the manager dropped the ball on cleaning.

Master Bedroom slept in, bed unmade? No return to my email? Unacceptable at this price.

Great house and loved our stay

We had a great time at the property. Even though we preferred to be closer to beach we found a short cut that made it easy. The house is pretty and well decorated. At first was a little dissatisfied there were not more tvs in the house but then quickly forgot about it. Actually gave us more quiet time. View of lagoon was pretty. Liked having a pool. Being on Governors a busy street was totally fine. Loved it.

Fun Family Trip

This was a perfect last minute get away before the kids return to school. The house had the perfect amount of space and a wonderful kitchen/family room area for everyone to come together. We did have a small problem with ants in hat we had to wait a day to get taken care of, but the gentleman came (and was super nice) and swiftly got the problem resolved.
