Great value / location!

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. The value and location are exceptional. A few aspects of the unit are outdated, like the floor plan with too few windows, but this was fine for the price range. The main issue with the unit is that the master bedroom has an extremely soft and saggy mattress that caused me unnecessary pain and discomfort. As a much more minor issue, the master bathroom didn’t seem to have any hot water reaching the sink. Again, overall, the unit met our needs and provided all of the amenities we were looking for. Fix these fixable issues, and this would be a 5 star review.

Quiet and private

The beach was not crowded at all. Great time of year to go. Only “issues” we encountered is my truck (F150) would barely fit under the house so it made it difficult getting in and out. We had to move the truck every time we needed to access the storage area and that was frequently because you are not allowed to leave items in view of the street. I noticed all the neighboring houses had larger and wider carports. That would have been helpful. The place wasn’t dirty, but it just needs some updating. Everything is pretty worn out but it didn’t bother us because we spent most our time at the beach. The pool is shaded so it was freezing cold this time of year so something to consider there. Hosts were really nice and quick to respond.

Great Location and Gorgeous Island

We had a wonderful time at the house. The owners were very quick to respond to any issues we had and came out same day to look at one. The location is unbeatable with a quick walk to the beach and pool access. We had a great time there and definitely look forward to the opportunity to come back! Great communication from the owners again!

We had a wonderful stay here. The location is great with easy access to the beach, pool, and bike path. The screen porch was our favorite place and was cool enough to work on puzzles due to shade and a great fan! The owners were wonderful to rent from, with great communication!

Peaceful and well-laid out

Property was as described. Easy to pass through the security gate, and easy to gain entry to the property. Our first time staying this westward in Kiawah. Quiet neighborhood; no road or neighbor noise. The property has three bedrooms which was great for our family! We have particular sleepers, so the ability to switch beds and/or rooms if needed was fabulous! The owners don't ask a lot of cleanup from guests, which is nice if you don't want to do that, but we love to show our appreciation by cleaning up as much as we can! It's a quiet, lovely spot on Kiawah.

West end Kiawah island

The cottage was very nice. Well equipped kitchen. We really like the west end of the island for wildlife (birds) along the beach. Other favorite activity is biking with wind on beach then back through properties along bike paths.

New Year's Family Trip

The house is located on the west end of the island. It could use an update but it is very functional and we enjoyed our stay. The three bedrooms gave us plenty of room to spread out. The beach is a short walk or bike ride away. There are also numerous activities offered through the resort which we enjoyed during our stay.

Clean, reliable appliances, and everything we hoped!

The owners were absolutely phenomenal at responding to inquiries leading up to our visit. The house was clean and just what we needed. We enjoyed the full kitchen, and appreciated the washer and dryer. The beds were rather firm, which only two of us were not great fans of. We found the beach easily. It was a very enjoyable visit!

Found this house for a wedding we attended. The house was clean and well kept and supplied. The owners were very easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions promptly. It was 600 steps to beach and 300 to pool. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Perfect for our family!

Loved the location, close to pool and beach! House was just the right size for our family, my husband and I with our two daughters and their husbands and their babies. Huge TV for watching the football games, great table for our family game playing and well equipped kitchen! It’s not a huge or fancy house but perfect for our great family vacation! Owners are very responsive to any communication and they provided the information we needed in a timely manner. Attentive to details-all the light switches were labeled-very thoughtful!

Great location

The property was on a cul de sac very close to a nice community pool and the beach. Owners/property managers had very good communication. The only downsides were the furnishings of the house needed replacement (stains on bedding, couch and porch furniture), and some of the sliding glass doors were not supposed to be used because they needed replacement.

Perfect location for a Kiawah stay

This is a perfect home for 1st timers or the frequent Kiawah guest. This is minutes from the beach. Sparrow Pond is walking distance to Inlet Cove or a quick bike ride to the general store. Kids rode bikes all over the island. I’ve been coming to the island since ‘84 and would stay here again.

Everything about Kiawah Island was wonderful. The house was a short walk through a quiet neighborhood to access the beach. The beach itself was one of the best we’ve been to. The owners were very responsive and we had no issues with the house.

Clean home away from home.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this cottage. We found everything in order and very clean upon our arrival. Kitchen was readily equipped for many meals during our stay. I did want to point out that we expected the walk to beach to be a little closer than it actually was. With 3 teenagers in tow, all able to help carry our beach load, it took us nearly 10 minutes to get to the boardwalk. I would advise a beach wagon or cart for families with younger kids. Not ideal for anyone who needs assistance walking.

Nice folks but needs a good clean and update.

The folks were very helpful and kind but the property was a bit disappointing. Need a good pressure wash on the outside and some wood needs replacing on the deck/steps. The inside didn’t smell super clean when we arrived, like it hadn’t been rented out lately. The carpet was stained in places and felt dirty. The tv worked for a few days but then it started shutting off randomly while the kiddos were watching so that was inconvenient and we ended up not turning it back on for at least half the trip. The extra towels were helpful in not having to wash them during the stay. The screened in porch was a wonderful addition to the property since the mosquitos were fierce during our stay. Very close to the pool and beach and everyone was very friendly in the neighborhood.
