Brooke, just a quick note to say thanks for posting a positive review about your recent stay at our home. People do read these reviews prior to making their rental decision.
We appreciate your effort to give our house keeper a head start on cleaning. Regards, Tom L
What can we say other than perfection. Kathleen and Tom were fantastic hosts. The instruction booklet sent to us was so helpful. And cooks will never long for a kitchen tool. This home has it all. It's quiet with a beautiful view. Parking is right outside the outdoor steps. And yes there are steps but split up into 3 smaller flights so one can rest if need be. Enjoy your stay in Kiawah Island as we did.
We’ve been visiting Kiawah for over 20 years, and this stay ranks among the best! The home was spotless and very well-maintained, making us feel right at home. The location is fantastic, right next to Night Heron Park, which made for easy access to beautiful nature trails and peaceful surroundings. Everything about this stay exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, comfortable spot in a prime location!
Being an owner myself of a property on Kiawah Island, I can attest that everything was quite frankly beautiful. The accommodations were excellent and the property owners could not have been more helpful and an absolute pleasure to deal with. You certainly have a little piece of paradise.
My family really enjoyed our stay while in Kiawah. The villa was beautifully decorated and really felt like home. It was equipped with everything you could need. I’ve stayed in a number of properties on Kiawah and this was my favorite by far! We will be back!
Great condo. They had everything we needed in the house plus the bike trails and beach were close by. We got one really nice day and were able to eat lunch on the screened in deck, so that nice.
This condo had everything we could possibly need. I loved sitting out in the evening looking for wildlife in the lagoon. Short bike ride or walk to a beautiful beach. We hope to come back again soon.
Great place. A bit of a walk to the beach if you’re carrying beach stuff, so I’d definitely recommend a wagon or cart. Beautiful and calming views from the deck and super nice outdoor dining area. Owner was a pleasure and coming and going was stress free. Highly recommend!
We were originally scheduled to go to Asheville but rerouted in the wake of Hurricane Helene to Kiawah, an island paradise. The trip was made all the sweeter with this lovely, comfortable rental. It was a hop, skip, and jump to everywhere on the island and Tom and Kathy were warm and responsive hosts. Highly recommend.
Very clean and comfortable furnishings ,well equipped kitchen, very good location, quiet neighborhood. Centrally located to beach,playgrounds, bikes available for rent. Overlooking lagoon. Has back deck and sizable screened inside porch. We enjoyed are stay very much.
Had a wonderful first visit to Kiawah! The condo was perfect for our family of four and the location couldn’t be better. We had an easy bike to Night Heron park and to the beach. The owner, Kathleen, set us up with all the important instructions and provided great recommendation to a bike rental company. Communication was so timely and helpful! Kiawah is truly a magical place and we can’t wait to come back!
We have been coming to Kiawah for years, but this was our favorite property ever! It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. It feels like a home, not just a rental property. The outside space was the best, with a deck for viewing alligators and birds, and a screened-in porch that works even on rainy days. Our hosts were easy to reach and always responsive. We hated to leave, but look forward to returning next year.
We rented this unit for the week of July 4th. It was stocked with everything we needed including extra blankets, extra towels, and kitchen items if you wanted to fix a meal. We enjoyed the screened in porch and played cards and listened to music every night out there. The bed was comfortable and unit was nicely decorated. We also enjoyed Mingo Point Oyster roast and The Goonies movie outside on the big screen. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time during our stay at Kathleen's in Kiawah. We had a bit of an issue on arrival with the cleaners not having been there before we came, but Kathleen was very responsive, apologetic and quick to rectify the issue. These things happen so we appreciated her gracious and helpful response! Otherwise the place was in an amazing location, we loved sitting out on the back porch and we had a lovely time staying there with everything we needed. We were travelling with our 8 month old baby and it was the perfect spot for our little family getaway.
The place was just as advertised and work great for our family. The only knock was that the cleaning was not complete when we showed up, even though this was hours after the arrival time. The trash was not emptied, the bed was not made, etc. Then when we were out the next day, the trash and recycling was taken out and the rest of the cleaning was complete. Odd, but I suspect this was due to us coming on a very busy marathon weekend, and the cleaners were likely behind. Other than this, the place was great and we would certainly book it again.
Awesome place to stay. Condo was well equipped with nice things and kitchen needed items. Beds were comfortable. A/C worked great. We cooked most meals there because of crowds at tournament. Owner was real responsive with questions we had before checking in. Only draw back was it was on second floor and we brought a lot of stuff for a full week there. Kiawah does not let condo owners have a grill so we missed that. We would definitely like to rent again. It was mid Island so close to everything. The 4 Star Sanctuary is next door if you need a massage or nice meal.
This property has easy access to the beach with a short walk. The kitchen is fairly well stocked and towels were fine.
The two twin beds were very firm and not sleep-friendly for two of our adults and the pull out couch was also not comfortable.
Nice overall but not as newly updated as photos indicate. The indoor and outdoor deck areas and entryways had many leaves, debris and spider webs. I had to sweep the areas as well as clean the bathrooms before use. The drain in the bathroom with tub was extremely slow and you had to stand in inches of water as you showered.

I am the owner of the condo you rented from June 15th to June 22nd, 2019. This is our second home and we spend several months of the year there. I was very surprised to read the evaluation you gave our home. Most renters find the kitchen to be very well stocked with many pots, pans dishes, silverware, tablecloths and napkins. One renter joked that the only item missing from the kitchen was a garllic press that I promptly replaced.
The guest room was updated last year with a new wooden floor, new window treatments, fresh paint and new pictures. We have been advised that the guests prefer a firm mattress rather than a soft one. In the last twenty two years this is the first complaint we received about the beds.
The photos were professionally taken and the only change that occurred between the photo and the actual rooms was that we purchased two new rugs for the living room last year.
Kiawah is on a barrier island and there is no way we can control the spider webs on the open porch. Leaves fall from the trees and onto the open deck. This is a force of nature that I cannot control.
I spoke to the lady who cleans and has done so for many years. She and her helper said that the bathrooms were clean when they both left the condo. She also checked with the people who rented after you and she said that there was no problem with the drainage in the guest room tub. We will continue to check on this.
There is always a paper on the regrigerator door that gives the directions to call "Personal Presence" and the phone number to assist with any problems. They stated that they did not hear from you that week.
I'm sorry you didn't call either myself or Personal Presence when all these problems arose. I could have assisted you. I'm sure in the future you will find another Kiawah condo that you will enjoy.

The Leahy’s condo is light, bright, clean and very comfortable. Everything is as described. When eating in, we found everything we needed to create a meal. Tons of dishes and silverware. New dishwasher worked great. Spacious refrigerator with good ice maker! Convenient laundry location for tossing in beach towels right as you come in from the beach or pool. Lots of supplies like paper towel, TP, garbage bags. Plenty of bathing towels and lots of nice extra blankets. Excellent water pressure! We didn’t spend much time in the screen porch or deck because of the 95 degree weather but the living room is nice and spacious. We played family games and watched movies. We traveled to Kiawah with other families staying in nearby condos and we hosted a poker night, big dining table was perfect for the 6 of us! Great location, a short walk to beach or pool (if you have privileges), bike trails in every direction and quick drive to any golf course, restaurant and Fresh Fields. Truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
