A Great Place to BE Together

The property is stunning! Great location to the beach with lots of privacy. Wonderful memories were made by the whole family! Most importantly, it was so refreshing to just BE together as a family and enjoy the true beauty of the island.

Wonderful stay

The home is spacious and pretty. It’s is a very short walk to the beach, which was so nice. We really enjoyed the pool table in the heart of the home and appreciated the elevator for our luggage. The heated pool was lovely. Communication with the property manager was easy and they were quite responsive. We would definitely stay here again!

Super vacation home

This house was very true to the photos in the listing. The home was updated, well equipped, lots of living space and had everything we wanted, including close to the beach. We had to call about a few small maintenance items, but the listing group contacted us the same day and fixed the issue in 24 hours or less. Would recommend this for anyone but very family friendly

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The layout and location of the house is excellent for beach lovers. It is the second year that we have rented this house. This year we were hoping for updated furniture in tv room and screened porch. Very uncomfortable and very "used".

Disappointed in the property

Positives: you can’t beat the location, the size of the house, and the fact that it has its own pool Negatives: the exterior and patio of the house is very dirty, several lights were out, faucets didn’t work, and the interior of the house wasn’t maintained well

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback of the home. We are sorry to hear that you did not thoroughly enjoy the house. From our records, it does not seem that we were notified of any issues during your stay. Unfortunately, maintenance issue do occur, but we do out best to address them as soon as we are notified and would have been happy to address the few light bulbs out and the faucet. It is important to note that we haven't had any issues reported since and have not seen an issue after investigating. I can also confirm that our team deep cleaned the patio and outdoor furniture in mid August and we do make every effort (weather permitting) to do touch ups between guests. Your comments have been sent to our team so that we are able to keep it in mind for future renters.

Excellent Kiawah Escape

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 had a great week at this home in Kiawah, though there are a few things that need to be addressed by the rental company. The home barely seems rented... no dings to walls or worn furniture, rather it felt like staying st a friend’s home. The hot water heater in the master bedroom (also connected to bunk bedroom) ran out of water frequently and needed to be checked/reset 2 hours before a shower — a huge inconvenience and kept me from using the soaker tub (one of the primary reasons we rented this home!). It was a relatively annoying inconvenience for the cost of the home. The pool area was nice but not ideal for little kids because you couldn’t see them from the deck area and only partly from the screen porch. We loved being so close to the beach and we aways love a week of bike riding on Kiawah!

We're so glad you had a great time in this property and Kiawah! Thanks for contacting us regarding the hot water issue during your stay. Though we were unable to resolve the issue while you were here, the plumber fixed it right after your visit so it should not be an inconvenience for future guests. Thank you again and we hope to assist with your next Kiawah Island vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We greatly enjoyed our stay at this house. The heated pool was great for some of the slightly cool May days. We loved that it was separated from the house and deck by a gate which made us feel more safe with our younger children. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils and pots and pans that we needed. Despite being close to other houses, it felt like we were very secluded. The short walk to the beach was convenient for older family members. We would definitely stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been staying at Kiawah for years now and this has been our favorite rental. The location was great with an easy and beautiful path to the beach. The pool was amazing and loved the heat during our March stay, it got pretty cool and still we were able to swim each day. The street and area on the island was beautiful. The first floor master suite was amazing. Loved the pool table and cooked in the kitchen the whole week and weren’t missing anything. Maybe my only wish for were more screens in more windows, but that’s really stretching. It was a lovely stay and super easy booking and excellent communication again from Akers Ellis.

14 Royal Beach Drive Kiawah, SC

Our family had a wonderful time at this property. The photos showing a beautiful house were accurate. Everything was in working order and clean. The house was very large and so we had plenty of room to spread out and also to come together. We heated the pool since the nights were still cool and so were able to swim everyday. The ocean was mere steps away which was a nice surprise. Everyone was very happy with this property and we hope to book again for longer. It was most enjoyable and very easy checking in and out. I would highly recommend it.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental home was great. House is updated, kitchen fully stocked, bathrooms and bedrooms were comfortable and nice. It was a bit cool, so we didn’t use the pool as much as we’d have liked, but it was a nice feature to the home. Beach access is conveniently located out the back door and a short 3-4min walk. We’d definitely stay again. Rental agency was great too, answered all my questions with prompt responses. Looking forward to returning sometime in the future.

Thank you for your feedback! Looking at our records, it does not appear that our team was aware of the elevator not working prior to your arriving and reporting the issue. A breaker was tipped, and after resetting, they were unable to get it to work during that time. However, we have since not had any issues report, so our team is insuring now that it is back up and running. Regarding the other issues mentioned, we have passed these along to our housekeeping partners to be aware of and remedy for future cleanings.

Wonderful location

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: 14 Royal Beach has a wonderful location, only three houses from ocean front and a private path to the beach. Great privacy and very quiet and relaxing. Nice pool. I would recommend stocking a few more baking dishes as we did more cooking than usual due to Covid and prepared all our meals at the rental. Appliances are a bit on the older side for price category of rental but house is really nice and we will stay there again. Rental agent caused us some unexpected stress by insisting delivery and set up people come into rental to set up a new pool table. Normally this would have been a nonissue and caused us inconvenience. But our family had gone to extra trouble to reduce contact with others as we traveled to Kiawah due to Covid threat. After several conversations back and forth, rental agent acquiesced and did not send workers into the rental. We were grateful for that.
