A short walk to the beach

Great place and location. Just a hop and a skip to the beach (the boardwalk is directly across the street). Paths around the area are great for bike riding and walking. Plenty of wildlife to enjoy; birds, deer, and of course gators.

Snowbird getaway

This place was perfect for an escape from the dregs of a long Minnesota winter. Clean, quiet, and a ninety second walk to one of the best beaches on the East Coast. And the property manager was top-notch. When we needed a coffee maker that had gone missing, she delivered one within 30 minutes of our text!

Easy beach getaway

This unit is essentially a 1-bedroom apartment. It has been cosmetically renovated and appointed with fresh, beachy decor. PROS: - past first gate - the beach is RIGHT THERE - clean - updated tvs in living and bedroom area - washer/dryer - simple to check in/out CONS: - on OTHER side of the parking lot facing away from sun and beach so there is very little natural light. We never used the porch because of this, just too uninviting. Check the unit maps online (I didn't). - there is moldy smell in the unit, mostly in the living room, it hit us right away. Rental agent was made aware of it and she suggested particular thermostat settings (which were already set -- bummer). The surface smell dissipated with porch slider/windows open and after we bought candles and scent lifters, but on the drive home we noticed that everything smelled moldy. Not sure if there is something in the vents, something wet in the unit that smells moldy, or something from another unit. - it is a first floor unit, just something to keep in mind bc we had neighbors upstairs during the stay and it became annoying. - very small en-suite bathroom (only bathroom)

Just A Short Walk

We absolutely loved the location of this condo. First floor was a plus ... minimal stairs and just a short walk to the beach. Only issue might be upstairs tenant if they are heavy footed. Other then that we loved this place and will be back.

Wonderful stay!

We loved this condo! It was exactly as described in the listing. Clean, well decorated, and maintained. The management was super responsive and friendly. We had minor issues with losing hot water after one shower but this seemed to improve some into our stay. However, it still seemed like they didn’t have a lot of hot water for multiple showers but we made do with timing. Let me be clear that they weren’t cold showers, but just not all hot. It was a great condo with everything we needed for a great getaway. I’d definitely stay here again.

Perfect getaway for us!

Absolutely loved this villa and the location! The private setting just steps from the beach was perfect. We woke up early to catch the sunrise and we enjoyed riding our rented bikes all over the island. Kiawah Island is one of the most peaceful places we have ever been. We will be back for sure!
