Beautiful property, very clean. We had a super relaxing time there. The furnishings were stylish. Could have done with more sun loungers as we were 4 adults and there were only two beds for us. I appreciate the deck is relatively small so maybe two is the maximum you can fit in, but we would have h

Beautiful & Relaxing Stay on Kiawah

Nearly everything about this home is perfect. We had another wonderful stay on Kiawah and loved being able to relax with friends and family in this beautifully appointed home. Communication with the property management team was wonderful, and we will definitely stay here again. Our only suggestion for this home would be to invest in additional bake ware as we enjoy cooking together as a group. Overall, thank you for providing us with a wonderful location in which to create fond memories.

Perfect Paradise

The property was in great shape. We truly enjoyed our stay. The house was well equipped with items that I did not expect. They provided shampoo and bath soaps and laundry, and dish soaps. There was a good stock of trash bags and paper products too. We used the pool a lot and the depth of the pool did not exceed 6 foot which was great for younger kids. The appliances were a little tricky to use but once we figured them out, they were fine. A couple of suggestions: pillow cases in the house for extra pillows, luggage racks, dressers in the rooms and more towels would be nice. The kitchen could use a couple more serving dishes too. There really are no complaints about this property. It was very accommodating for our group of 10.

End of March vacation

Lots of thought went into this place to make it comfortable for guests. The kids enjoyed the games they found in the cupboard. We had brought our own spices and oil along for cooking, but also found some of that in the kitchen for use. We opted to pay extra for the pool heat as we anticipated the water would be cold. It was one of the main reasons we chose this location because we liked that there was a pool, it was heated and it was close to house. When we checked in that day, the pool water was very cold. After speaking to the property manager we learned the heat did not get turned on. Once it was, it took only a few hours before the water was heated. Kids really enjoyed the pool. We also liked that the pool was close by so we could watch the kids while we prepared our meals. Great walking paths to all around the island. I recommend renting bikes if you’re planning on spending more time on the island. This is something we would have done if we had a different itinerary that week. Some things that we experienced that I do not think would impact anyone else’s trip Regarding the communications with Property manager. Although communication had a quick turnaround it wasn’t always thoughtful or considerate. We didn’t have the pool heated from Saturday through Monday afternoon even though we had already paid a daily fee for it. Once the technician came out on Monday to fix the pool, it was heat with in a couple hours. I wish the mgmt team would have been a bit more proactive when we first alerted them of the pool water being cold. When I followed up with team after the fix to confirm we were good to go, They just said great to hear it’s working. They took no action for the inconvenience or any action in providing a refund for the days the heat was off. I had to spend time again and ask for a refund. We were swiftly granted 2 day refund. As I said the house itself was very proactive and considerate in thinking about the guests needs. It would have been nice if this consideration was extended through the full experience.

Lovely Property on Kiawah

The house is beautiful, but a couple of glitches due to what we believe is new construction. The thermostats seem to be reversed - first floor controls upstairs, upstairs controls first floor. Really weird and caused us to either be freezing or sweltering until we figured it out. Mirrors in upstairs large bathroom do not work, resulting in very little light in the bathroom making it hard to put on makeup, etc. Other than those little bugs, the property was lovely and in an amazing location.

Thank you for your feedback! We are pleased to see from our records that our team was able to come out and assist you and provide further instruction on the thermostats during your stay. Regrettably the lighted mirror does not currently work, but all overhead and usual lighting in the bathroom is functioning properly. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the home otherwise!
