Wonderful view and close to everything

This is the second time that we have stayed at this house and we loved it. The view was spectacular--we watched dolphins in the river and enjoyed sunsets from our back porch. The location is ideal. We were just a short walk or bike ride to the beach and very close to the pool. The property manager was incredibly responsive; she answered inquiries in a very short time. We would definitely rent this property again.

Tranquil bliss

This villa is absolutely amazing. As soon as you open the door for the first time to the last when it's checkout time, you are awestruck by the beauty of the Kiawah River. The dolphins swimming, birds flying, and the other abundant wildlife roaming just lets your mind be at peace. Even if you don't go to the beach, the Villa offers everything you need to be still and reset. I look forward to going back very soon!

Kiawah River is the real entertainment in this house.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Location of the house provided a perfect view of the Kiawah River and the tidal movement of water and wildlife. This was the best part of the house and provided subtle natural entertainment for our family. I would recommend this house to someone more interested in watching nature than worrying about the generally below average condition of the interior and furniture.

Great trip!

We had a great time at 49 Sunlet Bend. The cottage has a beautiful view of the Kiawah River and is about a 10 minute walk to the beach. The kitchen had plenty of tools/pans to prepare meals but the cabinets/layout was a bit dated compared to other cottages. Also, ceiling fans in the bedrooms would have been a plus. Overall it is a nice place to stay on the island. We would book it again because of the view alone. You can’t beat it!

Vacation birthday week

We enjoyed our stay on Kiawah Island, and look forward to returning! The kitchen was stocked with almost everything necessary, would have liked a cookie sheet. The view from the deck is lovely, and the sunsets are spectacular! Two things I would suggest for improvement would be insulating / lined curtains to allow dressing in the bedroom without fear of neighbors peering in as well as to keep the heat slash cold out. We had some unusually low 20 + degree nights, and the heat pump was not able to keep the house above 65 degrees. The other suggestion was to supply larger bath towels. Very relaxing and close to everything!

Lovely Location Needs Tweaking

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: This cottage is in a wonderful location - the river view is spectacular, the cottage is nicely decorated, the kitchen well appointed. We were not happy to find someone's car permanently parked underneath the house - one of the major perks of renting in Inlet Cove of which we could not avail ourselves. We were also disappointed that there was a Ring device installed at the entry door. Ring is essentially spywear allowing the owner to see, hear and record from the front door. We feel this is an invasion of the renter's privacy which should not be allowed.

Great House and Location

Our very first trip to Kiawah. We rented this property for 10 days at the end of February. Started off with another couple, and then it was only us. The house was clean and comfortable. It was great that each couple had their own private bath. The kitchen is very well stocked with just about every utensil/item needed for cooking, which we took advantage of. The beds are very comfortable. The view of the river is spectacular (sunsets!), and we did site some dolphins. We rented bikes, and very much enjoyed taking them on the short ride to the beach to ride along the ocean. There were only a few negatives which is why we did not give this place 5 stars. Noise! The one weekend we were there was lovely but come Mon-Fri all we heard all day was construction across the river and road paving in the development. When you are on vaca you don't want to hear that backup "beep-beep" all day. One morning it started as early as 6:50 a.m.! I guess this is the problem with booking "off season". We did not opt for any housekeeping, thinking we would freshen up as needed however except for a non-working vacuum, there was nothing in the unit to clean the floors, not even a stand-up broom. So if you plan to be there more than a week, you may want to bring your own or spring for some cleaning. We absolutely recommend renting this unit for 2 couples or a small family and wouldn't be surprised if we rent it again!

Although our particular cottage is in need of refurbishing as done by other cottages , the view at this property far surpasses most. We enjoyed the unobstructed view of daily activities of birds and marine life from our deck. In addition, the location was also very convenient to the beach, community pool, and other Kiawah activities.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We love the location and view of this property but unfortunately not much has changed in the last 3 years. The bedding is minimal and needs more pillows, pillow cases, and blankets/duvets. The knives were completely dull and everything was a little grimey. The master shower does not drain. The place could use updating for sure but we love the location and view so we keep coming.
