We just returned from this wonderful house and have already booked our next trip! If you are a family with young children, this is the house for you.
A couple of notes:
1. The house is directly across the street from the beach. You cannot find an easier route to haul your kids and your stuff to the beach. This house is a fraction of the cost of the beachfront houses that are across from it, but your walk is about the same distance.
2. The house is great if you have toddlers or younger children and need a house that's not super fancy (as in, you're not afraid the whole week that they are going to break valuables, etc.). It's not the fanciest house but has everything that you could need and the space is perfect for young kids.
3. Having resort privileges is a wonderful treat! We have rented on Kiawah before without it, but it's great that you can take the shuttle around the island, go to the restaurants, use the pool, etc. We needed additional dishwasher detergent and contacted the concierge, and they brought it right to our door!
A few comments for the very kind owners/future renters for feedback:
1. The house is not the nicest and showed some wear in the kitchen and in the cleanliness. I had to sweep a few times and it probably needs a deep clean, but it was fine for what we needed.
2. The dryer takes a while to dry clothes, so be prepared when doing laundry.
3. Make sure to bring everything that you need for cooking, other than the actual pots, utensils, etc. I think with Covid, the supplies are super limited so I had to run to the store to get Pam and other necessities I forgot.
4. It would be nice if the owners supplied some additional utensils, plates, and cups, as there were only enough for my family of 4 for one meal with utensils.
All in all, we had a great time and cannot wait to return next year!
