Wonderful

The location and size of the property were hard to top! Also really liked the layout of the bedroom if traveling with a large family so everyone had some space. My biggest feedback would be that the furniture definitely needs updating. There were a lot of stains on the living room furniture and the island seats due to a lot of use I'm assuming and just overall the house needs some freshening up/painting.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback of the villa. Comments and suggestions from guests are particularly important as we review each property with our team and owners. Your notes have been passed along so that we can investigate and make any changes necessary.
Very pleased with this property, well stocked, spacious, easy close access to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. - tiny suggestion- it could use a full length mirror and a better porch table and chair, but we would definitely recommend it!

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and suggestions for the villa. These go a long way as we work to improve our guests' experience while on the island. I have passed your comments to our team for consideration. We hope hat you enjoyed your time on the island!
nice big home - each room had its own bathroom and lots of separate patio spaces as well - so good for couples / families who want to be together but also with options for some time away from group !
We had space to spread out with beautiful view and easy few steps to beach. House was equipped with more than everything that we could ask for. Highly recommend

Reviewer Comments:
We have been coming to Kiawah for the past ten summers and have stayed in this house three times. It is our favorite place to stay because of the ocean view and close proximity to the beach and grocery store. We also like that we can bring our dogs with us. The house is spacious with an open floor plan and can easily accommodate our group of 8 (6 adults and 2 teenagers).

Happy to hear you were pleased with your visit! We look forward to hosting your next visit to Kiawah! Dana Jiles Rental Manager
Had our adult children and grandchildren for a beach week. Was a great location, well stocked, very comfortable. The only negative was the outdoor spaces. The deck off the main floor had a spiral staircase that we never used and took up most of the space. The other 2 decks were off the bedrooms so we never used those. You had to walk thru the downstairs bedrooms to get to the beach path so we always went out the front, down the stairs and around the building. We should have brought a baby gate as the 2 year old was constantly trying to go up and down the stairs. Otherwise, was a very good rental.

The location of the home was perfect…close to the walkway to the beach, lovely ocean views. It worked well for our large family. It was dog friendly which worked for us, but there was some dog hair from a previous dog visitor. Also, the master bedroom had a broken sleep number bed. It was hard as rock and wouldn’t inflate. The management company said it would bring over a mattress pad but never did. Also, several of the outside doors wouldn’t lock.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback of the home. We are truly sorry that the mattress topper never made it to you for the second half of your stay. We have passed your full comments to our team to investigate and address as needed. We have also advised our housekeeping partners of the cleanliness issues you mentioned with the pet hair to ensure that we are more diligent in the future.
The layout was great, with my husband & I staying on the main floor, the oldest son as his family used the 3 bedrooms on the ground floor and my youngest son had the 2nd floor bedroom. However, there were several issues: the front door was hard to work and you had to turn it the opposite way to get it to open; the lock box also was hard to use; the ground floor master bedroom sliding door could not be locked (and it went to the outside); since there were 3 families we needed 3 parking places which was a little dicey; and several light bulbs needed replacing; and the condo could have been cleaned better than it was. Also, with a condo that size, 2 dishwashers would have been nice (it IS Kiawah, after all) and a few more plates, flatware in the kitchen.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of any issues experienced during your stay, as it does not appear that we were previously made aware of them. I have passed your comments to our property management team so they are able to investigate and address as needed. In regards to the parking, I can advise that our listing description and signed rental agreement both advise that the maximum parking allowed for this unit is 2. Any additional vehicles would have needed to make alternative arrangements. I am pleased to advise that no other guests have reported issues or complaints regarding the dishwasher, so believe that this is personal preference.
The villa was very large and spacious! Bonus that each bedroom had its own bathroom.
Especially loved the ocean views. There were a few maintenance issues (most didn't bother us, just wanted the property manager to know so we didn't get charged.) Property management was very responsive.
The top floor master is beautiful; though like previous reviews, we did have issues getting it cooled.
Overall loved the house and would certainly recommend!
Great time
Great location
Love Kiawah
Only issues:
- sliding doors difficult to move
-handle on the shower door at the top floor Bathroom was loose
-tv was difficult. We could not get HD
And could not open our Netflix

Thank you for your feedback! We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate you bringing these items to our attention and have sent them to our property management team to investigate as soon as possible.
The house was wonderful for our group. Location was great, right on the beach, nice views. Large open spaces and multiple bedrooms spaced out so that we did not feel on top of each other. Kitchen was nice and big, well stocked. Overall we would definitely stay here again!
The set-up of the home was wonderful for us, spacious and great views and connection to the beach. The weather was very strange, warm and foggy, but we made the best of it. Omicron kept us from exploring as much as we would have liked. We appreciated your little touches: soaps, tied towels, etc.
My family loved staying in this home for Thanksgiving. The boardwalk to the beach is just steps outside and the ocean views from the second and third floor are wonderful. Home is exactly as pictured. : )

Deferred maintenance an issue
The home was in a great location and had a good floor plan. Unfortunately the home had a lot of deferred maintenance which didn’t justify the rental price.

Reviewer Comments:
great location, property was mostly clean...dishwasher had a mind of its own...not easy to use, furniture was tired and bathroom shower upstairs needs a deep clean...not the fault of the rental unit but restaurant reservations were most difficult due to lack of staff...which made us glad the kitchen was well stocked for cooking

We chose this rental for our family and friends because of the proximity to the beach and the size of the property. Let me say it was an awesome choice! The property management checked with us daily to see if there were any problems or needs and there were none! This property was spotless on our arrival. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked…the view was incredible! The pool was so awesome for our little ones and the beach was clean and beautiful!
I had read reviews of this property that were not flattering…I packed an entire suitcase of portable air conditioners because there were complaints about the upstairs bedroom being hot! The upstairs bedroom heat was remedied by the temperature thermostat on the wall and a simple fan! I read reviews that said the furniture was not comfortable and was shabby…the furniture is great and the perfect color for a beach vacation! I read reviews that said so many unkind things and we found none of them to be true!
If you are planning a beach vacation to Kiawah Island, SC, this property is an amazing choice for a large group…go there and enjoy the beauty of the island!
