Overall summary: Rental provided everything we needed; online pictures provided an excellent representation of the rental; the view from the deck was amazing; the bed was very comfortable. We did feel as though the bathroom needed a little work. However, overall, we absolutely loved it and had a great time. We felt as though the price was very reasonable for the value.

Nice stay

The property is a little run down looking. Attention to cleanliness is needed. For example, long hair on bathroom sink when we arrived. The shower curtain appears moldy at the bottom. And we were sitting on the deck/balcony having a drink watching the ocean around 8pm and the neighbor right above us, dumped there cooler of ice/water over the edge and drenched us. Not the property's fault, just the inconsiderate neighbor above. Great access to the beach which was the whole purpose.

Perfect New Year Stay

What a wonderful way to ring in the New Year! The condo was cozy, clean, and full of morning sunshine. The ocean view from the balcony and bedroom was a welcome treat. The private beach access made it easy to reach the beach. The location was close to the entrance gates, making errands for coffee and groceries quick and simple. This was our favorite place yet at Kiawah.
