Great place to stay on Kiawah Island

We were in town for the marathon so options were limited, but we really enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean and as described, check in was a breeze, and the location was perfect. We all agreed that we would stay there again in the future for golf or a weekend getaway.

We've stayed in the turtle point area for several years now and this condo/villa is one of the nicer units we've rented. Very clean and a short bike ride to the beach. Great views of the lagoon from the back deck.

Family Vacay

The lock did not work when we first arrived, but management was able to guide us through opening the key to gain entry. Maintenance arrived within 30 minutes to fix the lock and provide us with a new code.Plenty of room, loved sitting on the patio watching the wildlife. quick walk/bike ride to the beach. Back 2 rooms did not get as much AC, but overall great trip,

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Jul, 2025
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback of the villa. We are glad we were able to assist so quickly with any issues your experienced on arrival with the lock. Unfortunately, especially in older buildings in the height of our summer, areas facing the sun can be a bit warmer during the middle of the day even with the HVAC working hard to keep up. We are pleased to note that we have not received any other mention of issues. We hope that you thoroughly enjoyed your time on the island and that we have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future!

2021 PGA Championship week

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 satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Not very far from the beach and convenient to Ocean Course. PGA week was not very busy and this location was ideal. Although showing its age, it was clean. I was amazed at the number of power strips used to connect TVs within the Villa.

Disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have sent two emails just after we returned last month describing in detail the issues we had with this unit- one to Stephen Ellis and one to the rental associate who booked the property for us. I am disappointed in your company that we received no response from either. We visit KI 3-4 times a year and have always respected Akers Ellis but I am disappointed the way things were handled here. The owner should know the poor condition of the property as well as what was done to try to remedy the problems. Based on how this was handled, including lack of follow up I am not comfortable renting from you again.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jul, 2023
Hi Shea, While we wish that every guest had a problem free vacation, sometimes issues do occur. When you notified us on the day of your check-in, we acted fast and corrected the items you mentioned. We were under the impression that from that time forward, you were happy with the accommodations. We truly apologize that your experience wasn't as smooth as your other stays with us and that we lacked in follow up after you departed. We do hope that you will not let the one negative experience out shadow the positive experiences you have had with our company. We appreciate your business and would love to host your stay again.

Thank you for your feedback! We were so pleased that we were able to work with the regime to get the screen on the porch replaced during your stay so the rodents could not have access.

Week at Kiawah

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed at numerous vacation rentals over the years at Kiawah, the location of the villa was great. I would say that there are a lot of little details that needed to be addressed, from faucet handles that were falling off to moldy shower curtains, a bed without all of the linens and a door lock that was so difficult the key broke off. Concerns were addressed promptly but are ones that routine maintenance and more supervision for housekeeping could have eliminated in the first place.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jul, 2023
We are sorry to hear of your continued disappointment with the unit. Unfortunately, certain issues can only be addressed once we are made aware of them, and as you stated, we addressed each concern promptly after we were made aware of an issue. I can advise that no previous guests had issues with the lock, but I am glad we were able to get it fixed after the key broke off, as well as tighten the handle on the faucet and promptly replace the shower curtain.

Great location.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our suggestion and concerns would be a dripping water behind the wall in the front bathroom near the front door. It did not cause us any problems but you may want to check it out before it becomes a big problem. Also the mattress in the main bedroom overlooking the lagoon should be replaced.

Nice villa - in need of better cleaning

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 do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed in several Turtle Point/Cove Villas before and were a little bit disappointed in the cleanliness level of this one. The countertops had not been cleaned, the carpets are in definite need of a deep clean, and we found several items from previous guests in drawers/under beds. I think with a good cleaning this would be a great rental. This villa was very conveniently located and the kitchen/bath updates were quite nice.

Thank you for your feedback! We are sorry to hear of your disappointment and experience with the cleanliness of this unit. We do make every effort to quickly remedy any issues as soon as we are made aware of them. Unfortunately, it seems that this is the first we are being made aware of it.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than 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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I am disappointed in the quality of this rental. I have stayed with Akers Ellis in the past and this was by far the worst rental until I have stayed in. The location is great, however the condo needs all around updating. This condo is extremely worn down and needs routine updates None of the tubs actually fill up with water since the drains are all broken. Washer and dryer are extremely loud and cannot be run while someone is in condo. Cannot hold a conversation with either of them running. Microwave door is falling off. Garbage disposal is broken- they came to unclog it throughout the week however it was still unusable. One of the showers leaked as well.

Great location and views/Needs some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have stayed in 20 or so different homes/condos on Kiawah Island in the 30 years I have vacationed there, including a number of Turtle Cove Villa condos. 4843 is one that I believe needs the most TLC of all my experiences. I generally don't write negative or even lukewarm reviews, but I really wanted to like this place more than I did. While in a great location - lagoon view/reasonable walk/bike ride to the beach - it feels much more like a worn and tired vacation rental property than others I have visited. The owners need to invest in some much-needed improvements to this property, including the bedding, which was not particularly comfortable. I'm not sure whose idea it was to block the openings in torn screens on the porch with balled up pieces of aluminum foil, but that's not the way to fix that issue, even if it is a purely aesthetic concern. Trying to get the door to the porch open where it rubs heavily on the hardwood floor was a daily chore. The air conditioning, while operational, was not balanced well, with two of the bedrooms remaining consistently warmer than the rest of the condo. The porch fan is virtually unusable, as it's very unbalanced and makes a racket when operated. As warm as it was in the evenings while there, that would have been nice to have working - not an expensive replacement. Some of the window blinds don't work. The dryer control doesn't have an arrow on it, so it's a guess as to where the setting is. Perhaps these are little things, but they present as if this is strictly an investor rental where the owners never use the property. If you need 3 BR's/3 BA's with a good view and reasonable beach access, and don't mind the relative lack of modernization and updating in your vacation rental, this condo will be fine for you. It's just not up to par with so many of the others I have rented over the years that feel more like someone's personal vacation home for rent.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Jul, 2023
Hi David, Thank you for your review. We apologize that the rental wasn't quite up to your standard. This villa has been rented all summer and I can ensure you that we have not heard of these complaints. We often times rely on guest feedback to truly make a change in our villas. After all, guests are the ones who spend the majority of time in our rentals and see things that our property managers do not. We will be sure to pass along your review to the owners of the property as well as handle some of the issues ourselves. Again, we appreciate you letting us know. We thank you for your continued loyalty to Akers Ellis throughout the years.

Summer Vacation at Kiawah

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall a very good experience. Got quick response when we had a couple of minor issues. The property was clean, well-maintained; loved the lagoon view. We like to cook in some, and the kitchen was better stocked than most, although it would have been nice to have a cutting board. Was surprised that the smaller bathroom was part of the master bedroom. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms would be a nice addition.

The property was clean and well maintained. It is in a great location and a short walk to the beach.The only thing that was missing the first day was liquid dish detergent. A big reward was several times seeing 3 deer just outside the porch and the next morning realizing that they had bedded down under the bushes outside the kitchen window!

Great 3 bedroom unit that was in a great location, spacious, had an awesome screen porch, water view and most importantly, was comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed for 6 people to cook/eat. Linens were top quality which was very nice. I would recommend this turtle cove unit for anyone looking for a nice place to stay with your friends or family.
