Couldn’t have been any cleaner or nicer of a rental. The location was excellent and the hosts were extremely communicative and helpful. The place has been completely renovated and was perfect for two couples. The only suggestion I have is to replace the lower bed mattress as the thick topper on the bed is hot and not supportive for backs. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Dale - thank you greatly for the wonderful review! You were wonderful guests and we look forward to hosting your next stay on Kiawah. We'll look into the topper - I didn't realize we still had one on that mattress. If there is one, it will be removed. Thank you for letting me know.

Proximity to the beach was fantastic. Well appointed property, very clean, nice layout and furnishings. Very happy with location and communications. Would definitely recommend. The only slight disappointment was that the outside deck is quite small and a bit crowded for 4 adults, but we made it work and it did not take away from the overall experience. Overall, lovely property right on the beach. Very pleased.

Thank you Craig for taking the time to write this review. The deck is standard size for a Windswept deck. Some Windswept decks are extra large, but the great majority are the same size as this one. We have images on our listing that represent it well. And we do our very best to provide seating that accommodates 4 adults.

Week at the Mariah….

Overall, I’d call this one of the better VRBO options on Kiawah. Perfect location. Steps from the beach which is a MAJOR convenience advantage when packing all of your beach gear to and from. We would absolutely stay here again.

Perfect spot on the beach!

This property has great views of the ocean and was just what we needed. We were close enough to the sand that we could walk on the beach in the mornings, come back for lunch and go out again to sit and watch the waves. The Ocean Course was gorgeous and we enjoyed visiting several on property restaurants as well as surrounding area restaurants, shopping and fresh seafood markets. We hope to visit again next summer!.

Retreat

The space is beautiful, light, comforting, quiet. It is a little bit of a maze to get there and get everything up to the third floor, but once we settled in, we had a very lovely, relaxing, mindful, and peace-filled time.

We stayed 4 nights at this beautiful beachfront condo. The welcomed deviled eggs started our stay. Bedding, my high ranking key, was wonderful. We didn't even need to your our own personal pillows we brought for the trip. Location is steps to the beach and views from the living and nook area are beautiful. Kitchen is outfitted with two choices of coffee makers. Parking is convenient as well. The only issue is when booking private properties instead of the resort hotels is you don't have access to the Night Heron's Park amenities other than the cafe diner. Not a big miss but important to know.

Perfect!

The stay at this Kiawah villa was perfect. It’s a short walk to the beach with the boardwalk to the beach very close by. The week we were there it was low tide during the day, and the beach was SO wide. The villa was beautifully decorated, VERY clean (and I’m pretty picky about that) with beautiful views of the ocean, especially from the upstairs bedroom. Also, nice touch with flowers, and some lights and music on when we arrived. The kitchen is very well equipped and very organized. We would definitely stay here again!
