The property was exactly what we needed for the weekend. Very comfortable for 2 adults and a child. When we arrived the water was not on, but a call 30 minutes later everything was resolved. Good experience!

Perfect location close to the beach and conference center

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I was in Kiawah for a conference and this villa was perfect, right next door to the conference center and a short walk across the street from the beach. The amenities were great and beautifully decorated. The only addition I would request would be a full length mirror, if there was one, I couldn't find it.

Good place to stay!

Great location to beach! Easy 5 min walk or 2 minute bike ride. Use beach access #8 by the Sandcastle . It has a wash off station for sandy beach articles. Easily walkable. Unit has a keurig and Mr coffee coffee pot. I asked about keurig and was not told it had one. The floorboards were separating and caused us to cut our feet a bit. We taped them over with painters tape. All of this was reported to property managers and was addressed with courtesy and concern. Overall this unit is perfect for 2 people. We stayed 14 days and were very comfortable. The beach/bike equipment perk was awesome as well.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Disliked: Location
We have stayed several times at beautiful Kiawah and this was the most disappointing accommodation. Suggestions from our perspective of staying here would be: provide information details inside the unit for TV setup, boardwalk details from the unit to the beach, etc. There were none! Also, a floor length mirror somewhere in the unit would be beneficial. The overall ambiance was very dated and disappointing,

Small but efficient

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A last minute getaway to this little condo left us rested and refreshed. Kitchen upgrades are very nice and had everything we needed to prepare a few meals. My only suggestions: Mirror, preferably full length is needed with the bedroom along with 2 bedside lamps instead of one. A blackout curtain in bedroom, and please fix that sliding glass door. it won't latch properly or lock and if I had been staying solo I would not have felt safe esp. since it is first floor. Also the flooring has gaps all through it.We were impressed with ESPM host and in fact booked another property at Kiawah through them for another date.
