We enjoyed a really excellent time at beach with this condo, perfect for a couple. It was clean and nicely appointed, and with good kitchen equipment. There are quite a few good dining options reasonably close. The view of the woods and beach is beautiful and relaxing. Thank you, hope to come again.

The kitchen is old and not kept well. The unit had a horrible odor, The bed had 2 valleys as deep as the Atlantic. There were 2 usable pillows and we requested 2 more from Akers. Ellis. These arrived the day before our last night in the unit. Overall, the unit was not good. The ocean view, beach and building exterior were all very good. Would not ever return to this unit but would consider another in the building.

Long weekend getaway

Property is nicely located to the beach via short boardwalk. Quiet and cozy condo, perfect for two. Everything seemed as the add stated including a very well equipped kitchen. My only critical comment is just personal preference, I like a firm mattress, this one is soft. All in all I would stay there again for sure.

September 23 - September 30 2024 visit suggestions

Everything was great and we had a wonderful time. Small suggestions would be that it would have been convenient to have a couple of starter coffee maker filters and/or coffee packets for arrival, a bar of soap in the bathroom for first day. Beach chairs would be a nice standard amenity. Someone left a couple of broken ones behind which was ok. Laundry room was directly across from unit which was very convenient. Thought facility did a great job cleaning up grounds immediately after Helene..!!

Disappointing

Furniture (especially bed) extremely uncomfortable. Drapes badly ripped and difficult to slide. Several things broken (no hook on bathroom door, hall ceiling light broken). Poor lighting, especially bathroom. Smells old. Sticky spots on floor. Several electrical outlets too loose to use. Refrigerator must have fallen off truck. Beautiful view of landscaping and ocean.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The couch needs replaced. It is unbelievably saggy. We had to prop the bedroom door open since it always swung closed. The bathroom door wouldn't lock. The unit needed painted. Otherwise, great.

Very nice vacation!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was very nice, except for the sofa, which was very uncomfortable, sagging on one end. Other than that, the property as a whole was nice. It's a little challenging to find restaurants. We would recommend Rosebank Farms Cafe at the marina. All of the restaurants we visited were good, Rosebank being excellent, there just isn't much of a selection of places to eat. The island is very beautiful, the beach is beautiful. We recommend renting a bike to see the whole island!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: I would recommend due to the wonderful view and location. But would say the condo. was in above average condition only. The air conditioning was very noisy/loud...woke us up at night. The refrigerator although stainless steel opened away from the surfaces toward the storage closet(broom and trash can kept there) area rather than toward the sink. The sofa although attractive was not very firm in fact seating appeared to be sinking/very soft.This may be because it has been used for sleeping.

I should have read the reviews

As the title said I should have read the reviews. We have been visiting this resort for nearly fifteen years, initially with children and more recently as a couple. We are familiar with the location and chose West Beach for its quiet and proximity to the nature preserve. The location is wonderful and the view from the balcony lovely. The condo itself leaves much to be desired and is in need of some upgrades so that it is on a par with that offered elsewhere throughout the resort. The sagging mattress supported by dorm bed risers was a particular disappointment . Overall dingy, drab and a bit dirty. We will return to the resort but not to this condo.

Vacation BUST

Management called 2hrs before my check-in time to let me know of the very unfortunate circumstance awaiting me. They told me they just that morning they found out about some renovations that just started but it would be around the corner from my unit but it would be very noisey and gave me 25% off my stay. So first day ok but very loud. The second day the workers put scaffolding right past my balcony between my room and the ocean view I paid for not only that but I felt like the balcony turned into a hard hat zone and was very dangerous so I called and complained and they gave a full refund. Honestly that was the bare minimum that could be done. Never offered alternative of any kind just here your money back I could stay or I could they didn't care that it was completely unsafe to stay there any longer. The lock on the sliding glass door looked as if it had been broken for years and then they build a stairway straight to the balcony. Terrible way to treat your guest.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really enjoyed our first time to Kiawah Island & the location of this rental was perfect for us. Beautiful view of the beach & beach access were most important to us. This hit the target on both counts. Comfortable bed & working AC were also critical with an August stay. The property is older & showing its age a bit but no complaints.

Location/Views Great

Views of the beach/ocean and overall location were great! The unit itself was fine. Previous reviewers stated that the unit needs updates. I think aesthetically it is up to date, but may require some maintenance (ex: kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors have some interference fits). Each time I walked in, it seemed to me to smell damp, but my wife, who has a keen sense of smell thought it was fine. Also, when we arrived, ALL of the dishes were dirty (i.e. visible dried coffee left in the mugs). We washed all of the dishes and they cleaned up just fine, so they weren't stains. All-in-all a great stay!
