The privacy of the balconies were unbeatable. It was more private than most houses we have stayed at, let alone a condo/ apartment. You could not hear or see any neighbors. The view was amazing and with the layout of the villa you could see the views from every room. We had a small hiccup while checking in, but Caroline handled everything quickly and we did not have to lift a finger. We definitely hope to come stay again in the future!

Thank you for the 5 star review!! I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and had everything you needed! Would be more than happy to host you and your family again!
Beautiful vews, watched dolphins from balcony, super clean, bike trails everywhere, close to fishing ponds, beach just out your back door. To say we loved it is an understatement!

Thank you so much for this 5 star review!! We are SO glad you enjoyed your stay and found the villa clean and created beautiful memories! Would love to host you again!
Exactly as pictured and described - the ocean view and beach access are spectacular. Caroline was attentive to our requests and saved the day in helping a left-behind stuffed animal come home.

Thank you for the 5 star review!! And so glad I was able to help reunite your stuffy!! Would love to host your family again!
Three balconies faced the ocean. Just stunning. Rooms are very large. Be sure to bring your own DVDs. The villa is super quiet and parking is right in front. Easy walk to the beach.

Appreciate your review and feedback you provided! So glad you enjoyed!! Would be happy to host you again!
Location is amazing. Views off the balconies are beautiful. Right on the beach very convenient to local restaurants and stores.Easy check-in and checkout process and parking was a breeze. The villa was a good size for a family of five. I wish it was a bit updated for the price, mainly the couch and chair in the living room. Happy with our stay overall. Thank you!

Location was amazing but the inside could use some refreshing. Mainly the living room furniture and kitchen. Overall it was fine because we were paying for the view.

I appreciate your review. Our property is clearly portrayed in the photos and always in pristine condition (our housekeeper is amazing and very detailed as other reviews can attest). This property is well maintained and priced according to upgrades/condition. I hope this response to be helpful for our future guests. As always please reach out! I always appreciate communication and hope to make each guest feel comfortable in this home away from home!
There was construction in the unit next to us. They were installing metal framing. That required sawing metal which was so loud we couldn’t even talk to each other. This went on for three solid days so we left two days early. The noise was from 8am to 6pm. The host said she could refund one night but nothing else. We have been coming to Kiawah for 30 years and have never been treated this way

Thank you for your feedback. We’re truly sorry that the construction noise during your stay impacted your experience. We understand how disruptive that can be, especially when you’re looking forward to a relaxing time on Kiawah.
Prior to your stay, we made every effort to be transparent about the nearby construction that was outside of our control, and the rental rate was adjusted accordingly to reflect the potential inconvenience. Unfortunately, the specific timing and intensity of the work can vary day to day and we are not privy to that schedule as this is a different owner that lives overseas. We regret that it ended up being more disruptive than anticipated during your visit.
We did offer a refund for one night and accommodated an earlier arrival due to winter weather impacts. We always aim to be fair while also following the policies in place for the reservation.
We truly value our guests and want everyone to have a positive experience on Kiawah. We appreciate your feedback and wish you many more enjoyable visits to the island in the future.
We enjoyed our stay at Shipwatch in this condo! Communication was top notch! Beautiful oceanfront views! So convenient to the conference center for my husband’s seminar!
