Great property!

This is the 2nd time here and we will continue to come back. I own the cottage a few doors down, so it's nice to be able to stay close with our groups. The cottage is beautifully updated and convenient to everything.

Great spot on Kiawah

We had a great time in Kiawah. The house came with a rental credit which was great for renting additional bikes, beach chairs, etc. We loved being able to park the car and ride our bikes just about everywhere we wanted to go. The proximity to the Nigh Heron Nature center was a bonus and we enjoyed several outdoor activities there. We can’t wait to go back!

We recently stayed at this property in Kiawah. The location is excellent and was definitely the highlight of the trip.Unfortunately, the home itself needs some attention. The master bedroom door handle fell off during our stay, and there are multiple soft spots in the flooring, about five that we noticed, which made it feel like you could fall through in places. It gave the impression that there may be underlying structural or foundation issues.The TVs are also outdated and rely on an old cable box, with no ability to stream, which was inconvenient.With some repairs and updates, this could be a great place to stay, but in its current condition, it did not meet expectations.

Our stay at 4170 Night Heron

Kiawah rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a nice house. Some constructive criticism: not all the outlets work so it was a pain for charging devices. Would be nice if they all worked. 2) there was sand in the drawers of the dresser in the room opposite the master bedroom. 3) the microwave was glitchy. They sent a repairman, but he couldn’t find anything to fix, but it definitely is finicky. Ths shower head in the jack and jill bathroom has to face the wall, otherwise water pours out the side of the bathtub and creates a mess. That means you have to be super close to the wall instead of orienting in the middle of the bathtub. Other than these minor concerns, it is a really nice plac to stay on your visit to Kiawah.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 July 2023
Thank you for your feedback! I see the we were made aware of electrical issues, at which point our team came our and found a breaker tripped. They also found that the door sensor on the microwave was being blocked and cleaned the area, and they found everything to be working properly when they departed. I do not see that we were made aware of any other issues. I will pass these comments to our team to investigate, though it does not appear that any other issues have been reported.

Another Wonderful Stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our 3rd year staying at 4170 Night Heron and it never disappoints! Great location and well-maintained. Love the open floor plan, dining room, living room, and sunroom offer so many gathering spaces. It seemed that there were fewer kitchen items and towels/wash clothes this visit, but other than that, the unit provided ample space for 3 adults and 3 kids. We love being adjacent to Night Heron Park and minutes from beach access.

This was a comfortable cottage close to the park and the beach. The rooms were well appointed as well as the living space. We had a wonderful visit to Kiawah. I would suggest some attention to the kitchen and laundry. (mold in the washer, no bowls for food prep in the kitchen-we bought a couple and left them behind).
