Location was great. I picked this location for “highly rated for cleanliness” but it needs a deep clean as there was thick dust on the vents, fans and some crumbs on the counter upon arrival.
Comfy beds, clean and quiet. Great A/C. Simple and charming decorations. 1minute walk down the boardwalk to beach. Quick and easy check in at Villa Registration building, open 24 hours. We enjoyed everything about our stay! Thank you.
Very nice rental!!! This property is the closest to the beach. Literally walk out the door and you have access to private boardwalk and you surrounded by large dunes with the beach steps away!! Even during July4th , you have so much space away from everyone. Lastly, the owners are 1 text away from any questions and will respond very very quickly!!
Our Villa was clean and spacious. The best part was that the lighting in our Villa was excellent--the sunshine streamed in through numerous sliding doors during the day and at night, the overhead and table lamps were more than adequate. Dish soap was provided, as well as one small wash load size box of laundry detergent. One pouch of coffee was also provided. Housekeeping was available, but we did not request it during our 1-week stay. The Villa is situated on the beach, but the beach is not visible from the Villa due to vegetation blocking the view. Access to the beach is available with a key fob that the registration desk provides.
We had a wonderful time on the beachfront condo ground floor. Beach access was perfect and very convenient. The condo was decorated very well. It did lack a few updates to the property. These are only recommendations that I would make. The toasters in the kitchen were old and didn’t work properly. I contacted the owner and he replaced the toasters immediately. The bedroom TV was not working. He had that fixed immediately. I wasn’t aware that it didn’t have a washer and dryer either. I missed it in the description or it wasn’t placed in the description you had to use a shared laundry facility. I feel for a premier property. The unit could use a few updates to its furniture and its bathrooms. they were a little outdated, but nothing bad overall the property was good. I would actually stay there again.
Our 1st trip to Kiawah Island and the location was perfect; incredible beach access and conveniently located around everything. Host was accessible and helpful.
The Oceanfront Villa we stayed at was excellent; the proximity to the beach couldn't have been better. The location is right in the heart of west beach - close to restaurants, the village shopping center, and golf courses.
Beautiful and convenient, this property offered a really nice place to escape for the weekend. Such easy access to shopping and food, plus all of the bike trails the island offers. Being on the first floor, the beach is really just a very short walk from the living room! Will definitely want to visit again.
We had a great stay and nice time in Kiawah. Loved the location of the property - so close to the beach, West Beach pools, and Cougar Point golf course. Complex was nice and the Villa was perfect for our stay.
