Beautiful location on the beach. Views are unparalleled. Has been beautifully updated, definitely some minor wear and tear things that we made the realty company aware of on check out but did not massively impact our stay. Would definitely stay there again

Thank you for your reply! We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We have passed your comments regarding the unit to our property manager to review. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future!
We loved the property for our long weekend stay for a local wedding. It was accurately described. Easy arrival, clean and nice. The ocean view and proximity to the beach was perfect. We would love to return sometime. Sitting outside and watching the ocean roll in and out was mesmerizing.
The unit was very clean and well maintained. The views are beautiful. Two minor items to note: the lock was a little tricky and one of the lamps had a burned-out bulb.
The condo was nice. The master bedroom was very tricky to maneuver bc of the king bed. There was a musty smell upon entering and the master bathroom closet definitely smelled of mold. I purchased some air freshener to mask it. Would also have cleaning service sweep around entry door as there were spider webs with eggs😬
Location was great, right near the beach entrance. Overall we enjoyed our trip.

Reviewer Comments:
This was the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Condo was absolutely wonderful. The only thing that disappointed me was there wasn't any wicker couch and table on the patios described, just some folding chairs side table and a couple of pillows. Was looking forward to sitting on the couch in the evenings with a glass of wine! Other than that it was great!

Less than desirable
View was about the only redeeming part of this unit, although the balcony is extremely small and hard to maneuver around on with the furniture. The unit had an odd odor which we believed smelled like smoke, but Akers Ellis claimed it was just humid air and offered an air purifier as their solution. Overall the unit is very dated and has a lot of wear and tear. Have rented in Kiawah for many years and this was definitely one of the least memorable units we have stayed in.

We truly appreciate you taking the time to provide your comments about the villa. Our property manager did drop off an air purifier, but our team was unable to notice any such odor that was mentioned. We do our best to ensure that our listing description and pictures are accurate to each property, but will certainly pass your comments to our team and owners to consider when discussing any necessary improvements or adjustments.
This is a well appointed 5th floor property with great ocean views. It was perfect for our long anniversary weekend.

We had a nice time, as always, during our long weekend in Kiawah. The condo was clean when we arrived. We didn't have any major issues with the condo. The few things we noticed were no tall glasses/plastic cups for drinks, the kitchen faucet was missing the button for changing the water stream, we did figure out how to change it, although it was awkward.

This condo met all our needs. Clean and updated. Slight issue with the dryer vent, but other than that it was great. My only complaint wasn’t with the condo but the building. It needs to be maintained better. Doors need painting and hallways and stairwells need cleaning. Other than that I would highly recommend 5135. Views are amazing!!

Thank you for your feedback! We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We will pass your comments regarding the building to the HOA for consideration.
We arrived in the pouring rain to find there aren’t any luggage carts to assist with unloading you car- how strange!
I was disappointed to see that some neighboring guests left their trash (bags and Pizza boxes) by the elevator- for days!
Other than this, the unit was lovely, as expected, and we had a wonderful time.

Thank you for your feedback! We are glad to hear that overall you enjoyed your stay. The Windswept Villas are not a traditional condo building, and thus don't have all of the amenities such as luggage carts. We will be sure to pass your comments regarding the trash at other villas along to the HOA so they are able to look into it.

Our stay was wonderful as always. We have stayed in this property numerous consecutive years... wish the kitchen faucet and dishwasher could be replaced or repaired. Both are still defective 2 years running. The bed is getting old and new sheets and pillows are in order. It’s such a lovely place. These simple fixes at relatively little cost to rent ratio would make the guest experience 5 star.

Thank you for your feedback! I don't see record that we have been made aware of issues with the kitchen sink or faucet throughout your stays or in the past year. I do apologize if this had a negative impact on your time with us. I have passed your comments to our team so we are able to ensure each is investigated and addressed as needed.
The property/unit is nice, but you can hear every move the occupants make in the unit above. For the price that was paid, shouldn't have that issue. It was awful! It was like a bowling alley. Just their walking across the floor was like thunder. They weren't being loud, it's just poor insulation. Could not sleep the entire time. Would not recommend the unit. And the $250 voucher is a rip-off. The rental agency must be getting a kick-back.

Please again allow us to apologize for the noise issues that you had during your stay. Unfortunately, we do not manage each villa within the Windswept buildings, and we are limited on what we are able to do when tenants of other units are being excessively loud. With that in mind, we work with the HOA to try and assist when noise complaints are reported. I do not see that we were made aware of this issues during your stay. I do not see that we were notified of any issues with our beach gear partners at VayKGear. We work together to provide guests the complimentary voucher to help enhance their stay. Feel free to reach out with the specific issues that you ran into during your time with us so we may advise VayKGear accordingly.

We’ve stayed at three different condos in the big building, and this was the best yet. It’s updated, has good TV and streaming options, and a marvelous shower. Only complaint was the difficulty of using the sliding door onto the balcony.
Beautiful - great access to beach and island amenities! VayK beach supplies was awesome. Chairs/umbrella/cart delivered right to our door. Absolutely would rent again!

The property is really nice. Who wouldn’t want to watch the sunrise from the balcony or bedroom? The views are beautiful, and the location is convenient to the Sanctuary Hotel. My only complaint is that the furniture doesn’t comfortably fit in the main bedroom. The footboard sticks out, and my husband and I got multiple bruises from running into it. If they adjusted the bed frame or removed the chest in front of it, you could comfortably walk around the bed. Also, it doesn’t look like it’s been cleaned under the beds. We noticed when we checked that nothing got under the beds upon leaving. Overall though, the condo was wonderful and we would stay there again. Thx!
