About this property

First floor ocean area villa w/ dune & wooded views - just steps from the beach

Summary:
Shipwatch

The Space:
This first-floor villa has beautiful scenic views and is positioned right in front of the shoreline. You'll love the quiet and comfort of this home furnished with an open dining area and patio. Your guests will also enjoy waking up to the sound of crashing waves from their master bedroom. A full kitchen is available for when you want to explore some new culinary creations, and the living area provides the perfect atmosphere for friends and family to catch up in. For some good exercise, take advantage of the shared tennis court.

What’s nearby:
The villa is located in the West Beach Village on Kiawah Island. You'll be only a short walk to Cougar Point Golf Course and brand new West Beach Conference Center. Bike or drive to the Freshfields Village (just about three miles away) where you’ll be able to find all kinds of fresh produce and local treats. For shopping, a 40-minute drive will take you to The Shops at Belmond Charleston Place, and if you'd like a good beer, McCann’s Irish Pub is only a four-minute drive away. You can also check out historic downtown Charleston with an easy 25-mile drive. Of course, you'll be only steps from the beach where you can soak in the sun all day long.

Unit was clean. Lacked basic supplies like trash bags and coffee filters. Weren’t provided the pass for island access or the parking pass for the unit on the front end. When we called, told they would be in the unit (which would t be helpful for getting on the island

Ideal location just steps from the beach.

This location was ideal for a quick get away trip for the weekend.. It’s located just a short walk from the beach and, was an ideal location for us to day trip into the city. We’d certainly stay here again.

Wonderful cozy Home away from Home

The experience was wonderful. From beginning to end. I’ve stayed at this resort many times this location was ideal for a family with kids. Quick and private entrance to the beach. Enough space to cozy up and enjoy dinner and cuddles on the comfy couch or a nice quiet evening on the porch. Great for a couple days in paradise!!!

More than expected

Just a wonderful 1 bedroom villa... was exactly as advertised. You can't see the ocean from this first floor abode but you hear the ocean and it is merely a 50 step walk to the beach... could not have been happier.

Great beach access

The condo is in a wonderful location, steps to the beach and is nicely furnished and decorated. If you plan on cooking here bring all your basics like salt/pepper, coffee filters, and a dish brush for clean up. The property management company is terrible, and with proper instructions could have saved us several trips to the store for supplies.

Great location, nicely decorated but really bad beds

This unit is in a great location and beautifully decorated but the beds are horrible. We were schedule to stay for 4 nights but left after the 3rd because my husband could hardly walk after sleeping in the master bed and my daughter, who was sleeping on the pullout, had to sleep sideways to avoid the bar under the super thin mattress. Overall, this is a great unit but the beds need upgrading.

Awful

The sheets on the bed were sour and not clean. The pillows were extremely flat. We actually left and cut our vacation short due to the sheets. This was the worse place we have ever stayed. Also did not appear that the villa had been cleaned. I am requesting a refund. This is totally unacceptable.

Nice little hideaway

Great little one bedroom condo close to beach. Fantastc bed! Clean and well appointed except for the lack of a lamp to read by. Sofa side lamps were of low voltage and not tall enough and overhead spots were too bright. A dimmer might resolve this or a tall, pole lamp by the chair. Small issue with a door that did not lock….created concern for leaving valuables unattended and liability in case vandalism should occur while we were out. Lock was repaired morning we left….too late for us but good for the owners and subsequent guests. We would book same unit again.

Disappointing

Very outdated. Dirty carpet. Broken ice maker. No glass tray in microwave. Tattered & stained draperies. Had to contact maintenance because door to pack porch wouldn’t lock. Unit above us was undergoing renovations so hammers & saws started at around 7:15 a.m. each morning. The entire front of the building was covered with scaffolding where construction crews were tearing off shingles. Entire area covered with trash bins, power tools with cords laying everywhere. Vacasa did not make us aware of this at the time of booking this unit. Had previous bad experience with Vacasa earlier this year with another unit we rented in another location. Vacasa needs to step up their game.
