Great home just a short drive to the Ocean Course. Easy walk to beach. Home was perfect for our family and their friends. Would absolutely come back.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback of the property. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for your next trip to Kiawah.
The home was very clean. We loved the location to the beach, and the view from the decks and screen porch. This would be a home we will rent again. However, communication by the Property Management team could be improved with responding to issues that arise with the house, i.e. no air conditioning during our stay on one level, water pooling in the master shower which was not fixed after repairman came out.

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the home, but disappointed to hear that you had issues with our service. From our records, I see that our team communicated each time we received updates from the HVAC tech once there was an issue reported with the air on one floor, as we were awaiting their service and the receipt of a necessary part. Regarding the shower, our maintenance team unclogged the drain, and I do not see that any issue beyond that point was reported to us. We do make every effort to address any issues reported as quickly as possible, and are sorry that you feel we did not communicate this appropriately. I do also see that we issued two full nights refund to your credit card for the inconvenience during your stay.
Excellent location! House was very clean. Tried to use grill on the back deck but starter button broken. Contacted the host once arrived bc there was hand soap only in one bathroom but they quickly resounded and rectified. Kitchen stocked nicely. Easy short bike ride to beach access. Thank you!

Hi Mitchell, We are so pleased you enjoyed your golf weekend! We would be happy to look into the water pressure and hot water. Thanks for letting us know!
Our family of 8 rents a house every year in Kiawah every year and this was our favorite one so far! There was plenty of room to spread out and then we could come together for meals at the large dining room table.
We would also spend a lot of time on the screened-in porch enjoying the view over the marsh. It is also only a few minute ride with bikes to the beach.
I had to call the property management a couple of times (example we needed more propane for the grill) and they were extremely fast to respond.
We hope definitely stay at this house again.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Disappointed
We have been renting in Kiawah for over 8 years and not just for vacation. We come multiple times a year for extended time periods and this is the first time we had a house that was not clean when we arrived. The kitchen cabinets had dirt on them, there were crumbs on the pantry shelves, the cooktop was dirty and some of the counters were sticky and we found grease on cookie sheets when we went to use them. Plus there must have been at least 50 fruit flies that permeated all rooms including downstairs in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Given that we are living in a pandemic I thought that the place would be extra clean but that was not the case. The management company took a long time to respond those issues( they set up stuff for fruit flies on Tuesday and we had arrived on Saturday, when we left there were still fruit flies) fix the pooling water in the master shower, the fact that the master closet had no door handle on it, the slatted wood lounge chairs on the deck had only a cushion for your tush. How can you think that would be comfortable to sit on that. So unfortunate because the view is beautiful from the deck.

Very clean and beautifully appointed property. Ideal for our multi generation family gathering. The porches had beautiful views. The elevator made moving in and out easy.
We would love to come back again and highly recommend this home.

From the very moment we arrived to our rental house everything was perfect. It was a beautiful home and the accommodations surpassed my expectations. Akers Ellis staff made the process of renting on Kiawah effortless.
Great location, beautiful home!
Cleaning service needs improvement: food left in garbage disposal (made entire kitchen smell), counters not clean, bathtub in one of the downstairs bathrooms had mold.
If cleaning was improved, this would be a five star propery!!

You could spend your days just watching the marsh because you won’t find a better view anywhere on Kiawah!
My wife and I celebrated our 50th anniversary a year late because of covid with our whole family. This house was big enough to have everyone together and yet have individual space. Not on the beach but beautiful sunsets over the marsh.

Reviewer Comments:
I chose this property based on the photos. The property the house sits on is beautiful After settling in I was disappointed with house for the following reasons:the coffee maker had not been cleaned out, the dishwasher was not emptied, The hardwood floors were sticky,the kitchen sliding glass door was very difficult to open and the handle was broken, the screened in porch and furniture was very dirty, the outdoor cushions were filthy and old, one of the outdoor rocking chairs was broken,one bedroom was missing the duvet cover, no hot water to master bath sinks. Regarding the screened in porch;sitting on the furniture just was not inviting because it looked and felt dirty as well as the outdoor furniture. Cleaned and/or new cushions would be a great improvement. We traveled with our elderly parents and they spent a lot of time on the porch which was disappointing. Blowing it out with a leaf blower would be a good idea. Overall Kiawah is beautiful but rentals are expensive so my expectations were high. This house needs some attention to be a rental on the island compared to the others I think

We are sorry to hear of your continued disappoint. From our records, i see that you sent an email on Tuesday following you Saturday arrival with a list of issues with the home. While one had already been sorted the day following your arrival, we did advise that we were happy to come and address anything you wanted during your stay. After that, I see that it was only requested on Thursday that a few light bulbs be changed. I am pleased to say that in the midst of a very busy rental season, we have no seen similar complaints, and thus can only narrow down many issues to personal preference. I do not see any other maintenance issues or requests since your departure, and thus believe all have been addressed at this time.

We had checked on method of sanitizing as we were going there during CoVid. We were assured that they were following guidelines set by the State. The house appeared clean at first sight as long as one did not check corners etc. We checked in early evening and had to proceed to clean and sanitize all surfaces and drawers in kitchen and bathrooms, removing hairs and makeup, etc. We had brought our own bedding and upon removing their sheets realized the mattress cover was not clean, so had to launder before making bed. During yoga practice the following day I was appalled at what was lying under bed and dresser. Can I attach a photo of accumulation of dust, quarters, empty bottle etc. On second day I appreciated Akers Ellis contacting us by email asking if all was OK. Replied with above comments, but no one ever contacted us - obviously auto generated email not meant to be paid any attention to. The house is a rental property, is in need of lots of maintenance, especially the MBR ensuite’s shower. Once I’d cleaned up, gotten over the surprises and settled in, we enjoyed our stay in Kiawah despite the 40* weather.
