Hot Kiawah

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Kiawah home over looking the 2nd tee on Ospray golf course. The kitchen was well stocked and had a chef’s stove with a big island. The pool is small but beautiful at night with the lights on. It would have been nice if the water was not hot! The walk to the beach was 20 minutes and no where to park so drop offs only. The rental agent office was very responsive when ever we needed something.

Great stay in Kiawah

Traveled for a 6-night vacation with seven adults and one infant. House was large, very comfortable, and extremely well-equipped - photos did not do it justice. Beds were comfortable, and we loved that each bedroom had a separate en-suite bathroom with plenty of closet space. Property was well located on the further end of Kiawah Island (close to the Ocean course), but surrounded by bike trails in a quiet neighborhood. Check-in/check-out process was extremely easy, and Akers-Ellis was extremely responsive to questions and requests. Enjoyed all of the restaurants and proximity to Fresh Fields, with lots of shopping, food, and a grocery store. We will be back!

Wedding vacation

We went down for a wedding/golf trip. Had a blast. The house was located just about in the middle of where everything we had going on. Would rent again.

Beautiful Modern Luxury

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: We've stayed in at least 6 different properties on Kiawah over the years, and have enjoyed every one. 542 Bufflehead was our favorite by far. It's modern, new, clean, and offers a gorgeous view of the No. 2 hole on Osprey Point. The pool area is just the right size for outdoor gathering, and the small semi-private area off the first floor master bedroom is perfect for coffee (before the grandkids wake up). The kitchen is well outfitted with most of what you'll need to prepare meals, snacks or cocktails. The one concern we had before we arrived was the distance to the beach access - but we found that wasn't a concern at all. We rented bikes for everyone, and the access point was just a 5 to 10 minute ride away. We had room for everyone in our group: my wife and me, or two children and their spouses, and all three of our grandkids. The four bedrooms - each with their on attached bathroom - offered enough privacy for all. This is a great property, and we will stay here again if we're visiting Kiawah with our family.

Nice newer home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This newer home is well stocked and decorated very well. There are a few minor issues that need to be addressed but otherwise furnishings and amenities are great. Outside areas, pool, and ping pong table in basement provided much fun. The walk/bike ride to the beach was a bit long for the younger children in our group.
