We had a great time and love Kiawah. This property was perfect for our family of four and the walk to the beach was less than 10 minutes.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback of the property. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay! We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for your next trip to Kiawah.
Only issue was that the beach access recommended was in a residential neighborhood with parking prohibited a very long distance from the villa.

Thank you for your feedback. The nearest boardwalk to this property is number 28. That boardwalk is not designated for a specific neighborhood so we apologize if there was any confusion as any guests are welcome to use it. The property is about a 3 minute walk to the beach. We hope you enjoyed your stay!

Here is the sequence of events that occurred that made this trip horrible and reluctant to use VRBO again. 1) The first property was not as advertised because there was not a usable third bed in the second bedroom.2) we were forced to leave the first property due to a plumbing disaster coming from the below the floor of our apartment, causing the water company to have to shut off the water3) we were forced to leave the second property at nearly 11 PM due to bugs found in the bed. (We have pictures to prove this.) We were lucky to get an 11 PM room at the sanctuary hotel, which cost over 1600. When we sought compensation from Akers-Ellis, they would not even credit us for the whole amount of our original reservation, let alone reasonable compensation for the hotel charges incurred due to the terrible sequence of events we were forced to endure. We think it is totally reasonable under the circumstances for VRBO to compensate us further for these losses, and request a timely response from VRBO regarding this terrible experience. We have documentation for all these events which you can provide to you if requested.

We are truly sorry to hear of your continued disappoint. Unfortunately, the amount of damage to the villa that you originally booked meant that it was uninhabitable. As soon as we were made aware we offered an upgrade to an ocean front villa. Upon receiving your note about bugs and your departure, our team did inspect the villa, as well as called professional pest control to be sure. All that was found was a couple of carpet beetles that have since been taken care of. From our records, our agent discussed compensation and it was advised that you would send an itemized receipt for your hotel. As that was never received, we did proceed with the full refund of your stay, which was processed and the receipt sent to you only a few days after the end of your scheduled stay. We never wish for our guests to have such experiences and we did everything we could to adequately assist. We are again sorry for the inconvenience it caused.
Great location close to the beach, tennis and The Sanctuary. Very clean place. Very comfortable master bed and the place was perfect for our long weekend visit to Kiawah.
Extremely lovely place to visit and the unit's in a nice central location
We had a few glitches with the initial cleaning of the unit but everything was quickly corrected by the very responsive management company who ensured that everything was to our liking.

Unit was not well-equipped, coffee maker didn't work, toaster didn't work, the unit was dirty, mismatched china, no serving dishes, floors were filthy, carpet was dirty, no screens in living room, etc. Location of unit was great, but otherwise would not recommend renting this unit until a substantial upgrade is made.

Thank you for your feedback. From our records, I see that about half of this list was reported. Two members of our team came out the first full day of your stay and addressed each one that was reported to us. Regrettably, many others were not told to us and thus not able to be addressed. From the correspondence we have, it seems more that you were not happy with the property as a whole. We are always happy to address particular concerns or issues to the best of our ability, but unfortunately cannot do much in the way of personal preference. We sincerely hope that you enjoyed your time on the island otherwise.

This property was beautiful, was spotlessly clean, was in a great location, and had a lovely view. We have been visiting Kiawah for over 30 years and have rented numerous places, but 4852 Turtle Cove was among the best!
My family had a wonderful visit to Kiawah Island, and the accommodations were outstanding. We came for the Marathon this weekend. We plan to come again and want to stay in this unit. Beautiful, clean, convenient place to stay! Loved it!

We have come back to this same rental twice because of its location and layout. I would like to see the villa get a little extra cleaning attention in the bathrooms. There was a fair amount of mildew on the shower curtain and in the master shower.

The location was perfect for the long weekend we had planned. The unit was nicely furnished and the view from the main living area was lovely. It was disappointing, however, that there were not appropriately sized filters for the coffee maker. Additionally, the coffee maker leaked with each use and sometimes did not provide a full pot, even when the water tank was filled to 10 cups. Regarding the $150 beach gear comes with a $25 delivery charge that is never mentioned until you order. Our gear rental was less than $150, but we still were charged the full $25 fee; which was fine, but I think it is best to be up front about it. Overall, it was very pleasant and we enjoyed our stay.

Thank you for your feedback! We are truly sorry to hear of any issues with the coffee maker during your stay. It does not appear that we were made aware of any issues and would have been more than happy to replace it if needed while you were with us. In regards to the filters, it is important to note that we do not provide those items. Any filters in the home would have been left by previous guests. I have passed your comments to our team so they can look into and address any issues with the coffee maker, and to VayKGear for their consideration as well.

The condo was even better than we were expecting! Very clean, well appointed and cozy all at the same time! A very short walk to the beach! Will be happy to stay here again!
Loved the location-short bike ride to the bike trail, tennis courts, and the beach. Lots of comfortable spots in the condo to relax and work.

We enjoyed the unit which was bright, airy and modern. All the appliances ran smoothly, and we loved how close it was to the beach! We also enjoyed the bikes and went out biking every day! I missed the screened-in porch that our other rentals had (it was enclosed), but my husband enjoyed the extra space. Kiawah is truly a beautiful place!
The only problem we had was that the master bedroom shower, toilet and glass shelves were not clean. It was almost a deal breaker. I was glad that I brought cleaning supplies. Everything else was great!!
Great place to stay. Quick walk to the beach. Very comfortable.

We rented a unit in Turtle Cove - excellent location, beautifully maintained unit, the communication from Akers Ellis regarding our concerns with cleaning (Covid related) prior to our visit was great, and their response to follow-up questions regarding check-out as well. We had a great visit and look forward to returning, we would rent this unit again or another property through Akers Ellis.
