Why the Owner Chose Windswept Villas
The Conways became enchanted with Kiawah one spring break when we drove up the east coast from Florida looking for the perfect place for a second home. When we arrived on Kiawah, we knew our search was over. It wasn’t any one particular thing – it was everything. For the girls, it was the beach. For Peter, it was the golf, and the biking. For Mary, it was the fact that the island is a nature conservancy. Alligators, turtles, bobcats, oh my! And for all of us, it was the serenity of a Kiawah sunrise, and the dolphins playing on the strand at Captain Sam’s inlet.
The Unique Benefits at this Condo
Windswept was totally remodeled in early 2009. It has granite counter tops, custom cherry cabinets, and designer bathrooms. A large screen TV graces the living room, while each bedroom has its own TV/DVD system. Enjoy dining on the cool patio overlooking the sand and sea. But we don't think you'll spend much time indoors, as the beach is just steps from the door. We don’t operate a rental unit – we open our home to new friends. If you stay in our home we want you to feel right at home yourself. If we accomplish that, we have succeeded. We believe that you will find Windswept to be the perfect base for exploring Kiawah and having the vacation of a lifetime.
Owner's Map of Windswept Villas
The Windswept villa is owned by the Conway family, of Cleveland Ohio. They fell in love with the south while living for some years in Asheville, North Carolina. Charleston was a favorite destination even then. Peter Conway is a partner in the local real estate firm of Akers, Ellis, and Truluck, and manages several Kiawah properties on behalf of his wife and two daughters.
Windswept is managed by family friend Dennis Garapic. Dennis and Peter came together to Kiawah to play golf, and to watch the 2007 PGA Senior tournament on the island. Kiawah has gotten into Dennis’ blood, and managing Windswept gives him an ironclad reason to be a frequent visitor.

Our familyl was SWEPT AWAY by this Windswept Villa. The location is FANTASTIC. Every day we would sit on the balcony and have breakfast and lunch with a beautiful Ocean View. This unit was perfect for our family. My wife loved the modern kitchen. My boys loved the State of the Art home theater. I loved the fact that we had a fully equiped modern kitchen with a spacious dinning room, a wet bar, and an office nook to take care of business at the start of each day. Our master bedroom faced the ocean. We felt like we were on a honeymoon every day. This is the BEST LOCATION and THE BEST UNIT in the Windswept neighborhood. Kiawah is a dream location....this Villa gave us a Dream Vacation. We are planning to make this an annual event every year. 5 STARS ***** TO THIS VILLA!
Owner response:Thank you for your most enthusiastic review! We work very hard to try provide everything that our guests could wish for in an on the beach vacation villa. Therefore, it is very gratifying when we meet or exceed those expectations.

In October, my wife and I spent our 39th anniversary on Kiawah. The Windswept condo provided us with more than everything to make it a perfect lasting memory. The condo had all the emenities that one could wish for in a great location on the island for biking and a very brief few steps to our beach umbrella. Nice to have the deer protecting our bikes too! The deck off the living room provided us with a great place to relax, enjoy our snacks and meals and take in the great view of the ocean. No question, we'll be back - can hardly wait until the 40th.
Owner response:We are so glad that we could be a part of your significant anniversary! Please come again!

The weather, while cool at times, was sunny, allowing us to walk on the beach as many times as we wanted. Took a ride on the beach around to the Ocean Course club - well worth it! Wildlife sightings to date: bobcat early one morning by the boardwalk, alligators, white herons, cormorants, cardinal, white tailed deer,pelicans, bald eagles, one dolphin and horseshoe crabs..... Thanks again, we are heading back to winter, but will have wonderful memories of Kiawah.

Spencer, my duaghter's terrier, was taken for walks two or three times daily on the beach. Amamda and I rode bikes daily on the beach - total mileage was 62.3 miles for each of us. When the weather allowed, we spent time on the balcony enjoying the breeze and quiet surroundings. We very much enjoy the bike trails in the area and rate Kiawah Islands very highl on our list of places to relax. Thanks!

This is the 8th year that we have visited Kiawah Island and this week seems to be the same - great! We bring our bikes and see so much from the the trails. We saw our first pied deer on a golf course. Looked like this year's fawn. We saw a deer swimming in the ocean 400 yards out,we were sure it would never make land but we walked up the beach 1/4 mile and sure enouh he made it to the beach and scampered up into the brush. On the last day at 5:30 pm a bobcat came walking around the boardwalk like he owned it! He was wearing a collar. We hope Kiawah stays the same and we will keep it one of our spots.

We travel to Kiawah a few times a year for weekend or longer getaways. We love the peace, serenity, pristine beaches and miles and miles of walking and biking trails at this very upscale resort. It's one of the few vacation spots we can count on as being truly relaxing (we don't feel like we need a vacation after our vacation!) Although there is a 5* hotel on property, renting a condo or villa is the way to go at Kiawah. We usually visit in the off-season, so premier beachfront 2BA 2BR (with room for 4-6 people) condos are usually available for around $250 to $350 per night. This condo was one of the more expensive ones we have stayed at. It was very nice indeed, and was accurately described in the owner's listing. However, we felt that this was overpriced given the condition of the unit. Dead bugs were found in the foyer and kitchen cabinet (when we reported this, the owner said this meant that the pest control was working!), pet hair on furnishings and blankets (since you have to pay a hefty cleaning fee, and the unit owner has strict rules about cleanup when you leave, we feel that the unit really should be clean when one arrives too!), the coffee maker was rusted and in somewhat moldy condition, and the fridge fan was making a noise that was enough to keep wake you up at night (the owner new about this, but had not fixed it by the time we had arrived). When we reported these items to the owner, he did respond with explanations about what he thought was the cause of these problems and offered a 15% discount on another stay. We expect and hope that these items will not be a problem for the next tenants. In conclusion, this was a fine unit, but we have also stayed in other units with better quality at similar or even lower prices.

Owner response:Thank you for your sincere review of our premium Kiawah villa at Windswept. We appreciate feedback as it helps us to nip issues in the bud. We are very sorry that you found some things not to your satisfaction, as we work hard to leave our villa guests completely satisfied. On the rare occasions where things are not just right, we have folks on call who can address any issues. Therefore, we wish that you had not waited until after your stay was complete to “report” these things to us. It would have been nice to have had the chance to rectify it to your satisfaction while you were there. The lion’s share of your issues are related to the fact that we have a relatively new cleaner who cleaned right after the previous guest checked out without considering the fact that there was a bit of an extended time until you checked in. This left the possibility of a pest control exterminated bug crawling into view and dying, or an accumulation of dust. Thank you for identifying this potential pitfall. We have discussed this with the cleaner and she will clean closer to check in time to avoid such negatives. Once again, thank you for your comments. The feedback is most valuable!
