Renovated Pet-friendly Kiawah Island Villa. 5 Min Walk to Beach! Close to Cougar Point Clubhouse!

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean nice condo had everything we needed"

Kiawah Island Golf Resort - Villas

8/10 Good

"The first villa that we were put in was very dirty and smelled very musty. We immediately called the staff, and they worked to move us to a new villa. She was super helpful and gave us multiple listings to choose from. Since the villas are privately owned, it is really a maintenance company that you are dealing with. The villa we ended up in was very nice and bright. It was more updated and clean. Kiawah is absolutely beautiful!"

Three Oceanfront Private Balconies with Panoramic View, Dolphins & Calm Breezes!

"Very nice. Had one problem with smoke and carbon monoxide alarms going off for no discernible reason. Fire dept came and reset sensors. Itrip team came next day."

Short Stroll to Beach! Exquisitely Renovated Home w/ Pool & Hot Tub, Spacious Deck & Lagoon Views!

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot and perfectly laid out for our group! Location was ideal - between Freshfields Village and Night Heron Park.Walk to the beach was very doable. Would recommend. Only critiques:The stovetop wasn’t great - the largest element seemed to only change sizes, not heat levels, so it only cooked on high.The management company was a bit frustrating to communicate with when we had trouble with the master bathtub, but we eventually figured it out (it was stuck and handle is weirdly loose), no thanks to many texts to management for clearer instructions.Also, the welcome texts said every bed had been “freshly made”, but since my daughter is allergic to dust, it seemed maybe the top bunk had not been recently washed since her eyes swelled up. We washed the bed and then she didn’t have any problems after that.Easy check out process - over all a good experience!"

Oceanfront Premium Villa, 2BD/2BA master suites, Pool access, Resort Privileges

1 Bedroom Villa with private screened in porch and short walk to the beach!

"The unit was clean and described appropriately. However, there was NO smoke detector nor any curtains in the main living area. When I alerted the owner well into the stay, she wrote that she was aware of these two problems, and was going to fix them AFTER OUR STAY. Too late for us."
