The dining room is adjacent to the central living room as well, and has a larger dining table with seating for 8 guests.

Extended Family Vacation

The house was a lot of fun for a large extended family. We enjoyed the pool table, ping pong and we were able to spread out and enjoy our stay!

Great family space and location

This home is very open and has great space for a large family gathering or multiple families vacationing together. It has multiple living areas, plenty of bathrooms and a wonderful pool. While the appliances and some of the home are dated, everything worked well and was perfect for our large family gathering. It is a good value for the space it offers. The host was responsive and helpful. We would stay here again.

Large home behind second gates

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is lovely, spacious and fit our needs but the kitchen needs updating. For the price, Someone needs to go in and clean out the kitchen and do an inventory of usable glasses and utensils, making sure there are the correct things available and enough flatware for the amount of people who can be in the home.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we were pleased with the house. Enjoyed the pool and the game room was the Golden Tee was a big hit with the young adults. The bathrooms and kitchen are somewhat dated but functional. Only big complaint is a shocking lack of forks for a house this size -- only 10! The oven has also seen better days.

With plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas, it was a great house to rent with friends for a fun and relaxing time! The location was also a quick bike ride away from the beach and tennis courts. ESPM was very easy to communicate with and made our stay even better! Hope to stay here again soon.

Great large space , needs many upgrades

Space if fabulous - lots of room to spread out, have personal space, play games, eat together, sleep, bathrooms. It was good for a week but for the amount of money, the house needs a lot of upgrades. Some bathroom tubs and sinks were not working and/or were missing faucets. Some exterior doors were rotted and wouldn't close all the way or left openings for critters to come in. The roof leaked during a rainstorm 2 nights directly on to the bed where two guests were sleeping. Kitchen was renovated and is much better appointed than previous reviews; however, counter stools were unsafe, stovetop gas was extremely high and a little scary to use. Pool table and ping pong table were usable but rackets and sticks were old, broken, or poor quality. Summary: good location for multiple families staying together who need a lot of space for a week but property needs a lot of TLC for the spend.

This house is in poor shape

When we arrived, the front door wouldn’t shut. There was drywall dust all over the first floor from a ceiling repair and no one cleaned afterward. Toilet ran & made loud noises, was never fixed. Electrical plugs don’t work, oven overheats badly! One stove top appears dangerous as a huge flame shot up when turned on! Front door never locked til day before we left! Some rooms have no air conditioning and can’t be used. If you call for repairs to be made, they said we have to stay there and wait, which takes hrs. You can waste your vacation time waiting for repairmen to come, and it needs so many repairs! Only one working refrigerator, used the 2nd one and all the food spoiled!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wedding vacation was great except for the accommodations. The condition of the house does not reflect the actual. The front door is HARD to lock from the inside, towel bar not attached to was in bathroom, kitchen island had greasy film, what appears to be mold around air grille in upstairs bedroom, many light switches but few marked, deteriorated wood on exterior door jambs, no instructions for main tv set with 5 controllers and problem with getting correct incoming signal, several windows could not be operated by handles, and one was broken, bathroom tub water control handle broken, paint chips, especially where painted grey, were numerous throughout the house and the welcome book of instructions was found inside living room table instead of on the entry table. If it wasn't for the size and location, would consider the house a satisfaction level 1

Needs work

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the first time we have booked outside of the resort. We have been coming to Kiawah for 20+ years. The rental company was wonderful to work with however, the house needed a lot of work. There was cobwebs on the lamps, mold on the vents, And the kitchen needs major updates. The two queen bunks are in an area that you have to walk through to get to the other bedrooms so there is no privacy upstairs. One of the other king rooms doesn’t have an attached bathroom, it is in the hallway. I feel like the owners need to spend some money to make this property nicer before renting it out. Do you have what’s listed as a 7 to 8 bedroom house and there’s only eight forks in the kitchen. The The oven is from the 1980s and the refrigerator is quite small for as many people as we had. There was a second refrigerator on the other side of the house, which was not super convenient. The pool area is tiny and not inviting at all. The kitchen has chipped paint all over the cabinets, and the floors are disgusting. Again, the rental company was very easy to deal with in responded quickly to anything we asked. I just don’t think this house should be rented until the owners put some money back into it. They seem very careless. I took pictures, but there’s not a place to attach them for this review

Adequate Space for Large Extended Family

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: We had an extended family vacation with 17 people and the house comfortably accommodated our group. We had plenty of beds and well-furnished living areas. The house definitely needs updates and the kitchen is past due for a remodel; cabinet paint worn/ missing as an example. A bit disappointed in the kitchen utensils as there weren’t enough forks for our entire group (glad we had some plastic ones). The bedrooms were spacious and while the deck areas were small the pool was a nice relief to the heat. Our family especially enjoyed eating meals at the round table in the breakfast nook. We know that houses this size cost much more and we appreciated the lower rate. Despite some of the appliances and showers needing updating they all worked very well. It was especially nice having two microwaves and ice makers.

Attention to basic details needed but good size and flow

Nice gentleman came by and agreed on state of house cleaning and he fixed a running toilet. Said he would contact cleaners but nothing happened. So we cleaned and washed ourselves Once done things got better and we had a good week. Some repairs are need but the house has good room and flow. We need a big house and this is one of the few. We have vacationed on Kiawah 10 times and always enjoy it.

2022 Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was very spacious and work great for our large family. We had a great time on Kiawah Island! As far as the house itself, the owners need to take care of some basic maintenance issues. There was a leak in the bedroom roof that occurred 2 different nights during a rainstorm. One of the AC units had to be serviced after it stopped cooling 2 bedrooms and the kitchen/dining room. It was apparent that the windows had not been cleaned in some time, and you could not take advantage of the view of the marsh area. The entire yard has not been cared for or maintained. The beds were covered in weeds and there were several dead trees and bushes...very overgrown. This is the first thing you notice when you drive up to the house. The kitchen could use an update.The staff at ESPM was responsive to our calls and had maintenance staff scheduled as quickly as possible.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been staying in holiday rentals in Hilton Head and Kiawah for ten years. We have never been offered a home in the state of aforementioned address. The kitchen floor was disgusting...greasy and no way to properly clean it. Needs to be redone. Most of the appliances were old....kitchen faucet sprayed me every time I used it. Cracked wine glasses found upon our arrival. The bathrooms needed some paint. My sister came to visit us for two days and she was just appalled at the state of the home knowing what we were paying to stay there. We should have been told that it was in need of some TLC. It is a great property with a pool and pool table which we certainly enjoyed. I will say that the maintenance manager that came to our home twice was very professional and easy to work with. My suggestion to you is to close this home and fix what desperately needs refurbishment. That is only fair to your customers who come to Kiawah with great expectations to be met with a beautiful and welcoming home.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: While we generally enjoyed the property location and layout (multiple sleeping areas), we found that the property was in disrepair. Upon arrival, we noticed that the kitchen side of the house was very warm and the A/C was not working properly for the kitchen and two bedrooms next to the kitchen. Maintenance was called and came 1 day later, but we were surprised the maintenance company hadn't checked the A/C before our arrival. We also felt there were many "known" problems with the property that were not communicated, and the rental rate was not adjusted appropriately. We had problems with the kitchen fridge icemaker, and were told someone would come fix it, then we were told that the needed part was on order, and then we were brought bags of ice and gift cards. I'm not sure if we understood that the fridge repair person wasn't still coming.... There were hinges broken on cabinet doors, towel bars pulled off the wall, and chips in the paint on many doors, and scrapes on the wood floors. The living room sofa was stained. It was difficult viewing wildlife through the dirty windows (or seals were broken). Kitchen lights were dirty. There was mold on the eat-in kitchen ceiling, and at the base of doors going outside. Much of the outdoor woodwork needed touch-up or was stained. Metal drawer pulls were rusting. The entry way ceiling was in the middle of being touched up/painted. There were cobwebs in many places. Many bathrooms (the master too) had no blow dryers. Many wine glasses/plates were chipped.

Large home but kitchen and baths need renovation

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is very large. The living spaces are spacious, albeit we thought the outdoor spaces would be better if not separated by an indoor sunroom with marble floors. Baths but especially the kitchen needs a complete update. There were miscellaneous pots and pans and there was no real order to anything. There was a uniform set of plates and bowls which was appreciated. However, the drinking glasses and wine glasses were mix and match, thrift store style. There were 2 sets of steak knives and NO working everyday cooking knives. The top floor was totally unusable and the stairs going up were dangerous,. The washer and dryer on the main floor are from the 1980’s and are not updated. The stackable unit on the 2nd floor did NOT clean adequately and should be removed.Most of the beds were without mattress pads, which was unhygienic Given all the measures you take to remove all condiments and food items from the home as a covid precaution, it would make sense that your beds were made properly. When we arrived and wanted to use the grill we had to call you because the grate was covered in rust. I am sorry, but your “home inspectors” as you refer to them should do a much better job at preparing a home for guests. Having said all this, staying on Kiawah island is wonderful for a large family or a group of friends. The house has a beautiful view of the marsh and the sunsets were magnificent....the only downside is the patio is VERY tight for a home this large. There are many activities for kids of all ages. Our youngsters loved the pool and biking to the beach; we had a large family dinner every night and there was more than adequate space for eating together.
