We have stayed on Kiawah for 25 years and this place was the cleanest thus far! I even did the full finger test above pictures and ledges!Easy check in and had the area to ourselves! Off season has great rates and it’s so peaceful! We will be back again! Left the place as clean as when we got there! Repeats need a 10% discount!

Great stay in Kiawah!

The property was located in a great location on Kiawah, directly across the street from Turtle Point golf course. It was very quiet and a short ride to the beach and resort restaurants. And the condo was nice and clean. We loved the screened in porch.

This is the second time we have stayed at this complex. It is quiet and well located . Sweetgrass was a very responsive management company when we had some maintenance issues. Beds were comfy .Nice screened porch . Poor lighting in the living area for reading was really the only negative.
