Did a girls trip for Mother’s Day and both place and location was very enjoyable. Everyone loved the accommodations and layout. While we had a couple of mechanical issues, things were addressed quickly.

We have stayed at Kiawah for many years, and this was one of the most perfect set ups for us. We had just immediate family this time so the four bedroom condo was perfect. It was bright and had a beautiful view of the ocean. Access was so easy, especially for Kiawah! We were able to easily bike to Freshfields and to the Sanctuary. The beds were comfortable which is a big deal for us. Also our Internet went out and they immediately sent someone out on Easter to fix it. We were very pleased with our stay!

Excellent beach

We have stayed in Kiawah many times at different properties. The beach as always was amazing and beautiful. The weather was beautiful. The only problem was the cleanliness of the property we stayed at this last time very disappointing for the price we paid for it.

Great time on Spring Break

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I would say that it was not very clean when we arrived. The floors seemed to have a layer of dust on them, with many corners of dust. Most of the curtains had stains like there had been a flood and the bathroom floors were dirty. That being said, we loved the location, appreciated the bike and beach gear, liked being close to the town market and road to Charleston instead of an added drive being further down the island.

Thanks for taking a minute to give us some feedback. We apologize that housekeeping wasn't up to par for your arrival. That is not at all our expectation and we'll make sure they are doing a thorough cleaning of the property prior to each guest!

Fall fun and frolic….

Excellent. Family enjoyed villa and Kiawah Island. Beach chair and bike rentals were excellent. Boardwalk to beach has one, maybe two screws needing attention as they were sticking up dangerously. One or two back and front deck boards need replacing. Washing machine doesn’t complete cycle. Over all very pleased. Will definitely return.

Great location, needs furniture updates

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome views and immediate access to the beach. Updates to kitchen and bathrooms were great but living room couches were very dirty and the curtains were stained. Also, 4th bedroom is more like a closet with a twin - 7 1/2 feet wide.
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 30, 2023
Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry to hear of any issues with the couches and curtains. We will certainly pass this information to our team to investigate and address. Regarding the fourth bedroom, we do feel that the size of the room is accurately depicted in both the pictures and 3D virtual tour. We are pleased to hear that it seems you enjoyed the home otherwise!

This is our 6th year staying here and already signed up for next year.It takes a very tall person to operate the stacked washer/dryer and a very short person to operate the microwave, but other than that it is a great deal.

A Great Stay at Kiawah

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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 have gone to Kiawah almost every year for over 40 years. We have stayed in many villas and houses, but return most frequently to the Duneside Villas for their great location and reasonable cost. 1105 has everything we could have needed. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped. Some unique positives about 1105 are an outdoor water faucet so we could wash our feet there instead of at the sometimes crowded shower and faucet on the boardwalk, a shorter walk to the beach than from some of the Duneside Villas and fewer stairs up to the front door which makes unloading easier. We loved the high table and chairs on the screened porch for views of the ocean. We were so glad the little community pool was open this year; our kids and grandkids have always enjoyed having that pool just a short walk away.

Great Trip

We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. Management was responsive and gave me a quick call back when I left a message on the after hours voicemail with a question about guest parking. The only negatives we experienced was that housekeeping took until 5:30 to finish cleaning (we checked in at 4:00) and the internet connection was a little iffy. Overall a great first visit to Kiawah!!

Need of deep clean and maintenance

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: This unit was in a great location. Unfortunately we spent a lot of our time cleaning and doing maintenance. To name a few things, the ice in the freezer smelled like fish and the freezer was so dirty it could hardly open. The screen doors wouldn’t open because the tracks were so dirty. The pillows were stained, the fake plants were very dusty, the tall wooden ceiling was covered in spider webs and nests, the pans were unusable, there were crumbs all in the drawers, and all the linens smelled horribly of fabric softener. The white blankets had yellow stains on them. Whomever is cleaning these units is not doing any detail work.
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 30, 2023
Good morning, Thank you for your comments. We are sorry to hear of the issues you experienced during your stay. After further investigation, I do see that the issues with cleanliness were reported the day after your arrival, at which point we notified the housekeepers of the problems and sent them to do a reclean of the unit. You also reported that there was no vacuum on the unit, at which point we located one and delivered it to you the next day. Please again accept our apologies for the inconvenience to you. We have spoken with our team and our housekeeping partners to address these concerns and prevent the same issues for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and improve upon this experience. Kind Regards, Akers Ellis Rentals

Excellent location with poor cleanliness

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing location, unfortunately the unit needs a bit of TLC. I traveled with my entire family, including an infant and a toddler. We were quite disappointed when we realized the door handle to the twin bedroom was broken and could not shut. We were not notified about this prior to arriving. This was especially difficult for us because my toddler can escape her pack-n-play, so we had to go to great efforts to ensure she didn't roam the home and walk up the steps at night. Additionally, the property's cleanliness was less than stellar. There was a very large spider smushed to the ceiling of the main level bathroom. There were also large spider webs and cob webs easily visible in the lofted ceiling. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but we would like to ensure the property was thoroughly cleaned before we'd return.

Unfortunately, we were not made aware of these so we could address them immediately and improve your stay. I have made our team aware of these issues, so we may prevent a similar experience for future guests. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience during your stay.

Above Average Villa

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The owners of this home did a great job at some point renovating the property, but it's obvious that renters have abused it. It is clean, but you could see wear on the couches, rugs, pillows, etc. Two things to note though: The Queen and King beds are SUPER hard. We all woke up with numb arms and legs in the middle of the night. NOT comfortable at all. If you stay here, bring a big squishy mattress pad! Also, the coffee pot is drip, but does not take normal filters! It takes those funny pointy ones. We had to rush out and buy them our first night (after already ordering all of the groceries we thought we needed for the week... including standard coffee filters).
Response from VrboOwner on Jun 30, 2023
Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear of the issues you encountered. We can certainly notate your issue with the mattress and if it becomes a recurring issue we can ask the owners to replace them!
