West Beach Heaven

A perfect stay at this small but excellent apartment. We loved the porch overlooking the pond, with the calming sound of the fountain and the views of birds, trees, and sometimes even an alligator. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The short walk to the beach is another plus.

Short stay at the beach

The unit was clean and, while slightly dated, well-maintained, We enjoyed the screened-in porch overlooking the pond and fountain. Access to the beach was easy and it was nice being close to the mainland. Bike paths were accessible close by.

Super Satisfied Stay!

Lovely and well-stocked and very clean condo - great location, beautiful island, loved riding our bikes on the beach and many paved trails. Pond fountain was bit noisy and detracted from the serenity of the porch. (Kiawah lacked ethnic/racial diversity.)

Great location for conference and new h

This unit is the perfect location for conference attendees at the beautiful West Beach Conference Center. It’s is right next door to conference center and across street from beach access. Downside is the bathroom is a little small and the air conditioning kept the main living area cool but not the bedroom. Other downside is this unit did not include access to pools on the island which was a bummer for our 5 yr old. Overall we would consider staying here again.

A Great Week at One of Our Favorite Places!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very 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: Perfect time of year to vacation in one of our favorite areas of Kiawah Beach. First time we had rented this condo and it was all that we expected. My wife definitely wanted the screen porch view of the pond with fountain and it sealed the deal. The 2-3 minute walk to beach is very nice and every day, this time of year, was like have your own private beach. The rental itself had all the amenities that we needed. There were a couple minor issues or recommendations but absolutely nothing that would prevent us from giving this place at least 4.5 stars. We would definitely rent there again.

Alligators stole the show!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed watching the four alligators; great location to the beach; clean. Only issue was that I saw a review from two months prior that the toilet wouldn’t flush right, and I wrongly assumed this would be fixed, and it wasn’t. So, the fact that owner should have addressed this issue weeks ago, I cannot recommend.

Excellent location for both beach/conference center.

I would highly recommend this location and everything we needed was provided. Nice having a equipment rental credit as well. Only thing I would like to see is the fees seem a little bit too high but I think that could be said for most vacation rentals during this covid19 era. Thanks!

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 absolutely loved our time in our rental unit. Not only was the unit updated and decorated well, it had all the amenities we needed included washer/dryer, wonderful shower, dishwasher, stove and full fridge, but it was also incredibly clean! The location was ideal that it was close to the beach, a short 1 minute walk across the street, and close for a short drive to many food options. There was ton of wildlife that we saw daily including dolphins, deer and birds! We cannot wait to be back with the proper equipment to watch the baby turtles leave their nest and go to the water. We will definitely be back!
