This was such a lovely unit with a fabulous view! The kitchen was well appointed, the bedrooms were relaxing, and the living room furniture was comfy and cozy! The location was especially notable. We were able to bike and walk to The Nest every day where we had many meals, played in the art studio and nature center.

Perfect for our group of 6.,

This is our second stay at this same Mariners Watch Villa. We highly recommend this rental. Lovely updated decor that looked every bit as lovely as it did on our last stay 2 years ago. The villa is spacious and comfortable. The reservation and check in process went without a hitch.

Wonderful Cottage!

The cottage/villa was as promised and better. The ocean views from the main living space and outside porch were outstanding. The layout, furnishings and amenities of the property had no shortcomings. Access to the beach was quick. Being on the first floor meant you could walk out the rear of the unit and be on the boardwalk quickly. We look forward to another visit.

perfect location and very spacious

Stayed in this condo summer of 2014 and loved it. My favorite activity was to sit and eat on the deck. It was well maintained, clean, and a very private location. Very convenient to the beach access. We loved it so much we are coming back to stay there again this year in August. We love the added bunk beds in one of the guest rooms as well as the changes made to the master bathroom. The additional media/office room was a bonus with the twin pull out sofa which allowed our teenage son to have his own little area away from his other brothers- it was like having a fourth bedroom.

My 2018 summer vacation at 4202 Mariners Eatch

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great week, weather was perfect and the condo was very nicely appointed. Love the way they had expanded the family room by removing the screened in porch and including the area in the family room. We had a great ocean view and easy access to the boardwalk and ocean. The owners had also left some surf boards that the boys enjoyed and sand chairs that we used several times. Condo was very clean with plenty of room for all. Loved the ice machine and the water dispenser in the refrigerator. Really enjoyed the kitchen remodel, it gave plenty of room for cooking and we ate most of our meals at the extended counter with the bar stools while watching the ocean, which never gets old! We had a great week.

An Overall Awesome Spot

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: It's hard to beat this view and convenience to the beach. Hop, skip, and a jump from the beach boardwalk entrance. Wonderful panoramic views from inside and out. They have made some smart upgrades that make the stay quite enjoyable, specifically the kitchen area. The folks at ESPM were very nice and responsive when we reached out with questions/concerns. The only knock would be the bathrooms are a bit outdated but I understand why the owner would hold off on that type of investment. I think VRBO should reevaluate their fees...cleaning and service fee was 22% of the rental cost, a bit egregious when coupled with 15% tax.

Overall Nice, but Should Have Been Cleaner

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second year in a row renting a unit at Mariner’s Watch (different units, but both rentals were through ESPM). We love Mariner’s Watch and plan to go back. It’s hard to beat the tranquility and proximity to the beach that is offered by that particular development. Overall our stay this year was great; however, the unit was not clean. There were remnants of food trailing down the cabinets under the sink (and along several cabinets within the kitchen); remnants of dried up food and drink on one of the bunk beds located in one of the bedrooms; dirty utensils and glasses in the drawers; the potholder looked like someone backed a pizza on top of it; and the remains of dead roaches located inside the under-cabinet ice maker. Also the ice maker and fridge filters need to be changed. Not at all what you would expect when renting a place; especially considering the money (five figures) spent to rent one of these units for a week. We were grossed out and disappointed to say the least; however we took it upon ourselves to clean all of these items (filters still need to be changed) and move one with our vacation. Contrast this with the other Mariner’s Watch unit we rented in 2021 and it’s night and day. That unit was extremely clean. Management needs to do a better job ensuring their units are cleaned and maintained properly. Again, the location and views are excellent (only reason we can recommend); however we would’ve enjoyed this unit and our trip better had the unit been cleaned properly. We’re on the fence on whether we’ll rent from ESPM going forward.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 July 2022
Thank you for your feedback, ESPM appreciates both positive and negative feedback for our properties as it helps us grow as a company and ensure our guest experience stays top notch. We take cleaning very seriously here at ESPM and I can assure you this is not the normal condition of our properties (as you stated in your review your previous experiences with us were great and very clean). Our goal of course is to have a perfectly cleaned and maintained property for our guests, however, we are all human and issues can occur. We really would have loved to have the opportunity to make this right for you, if we had been notified immediately we would have jumped right on it and not left until we made sure you were completely satisfied. Seeing this now after you left of course doesn't help with your stay but moving forward we have met with the cleaners and inspector and gone over everything and retrained so those won't be issues moving forward. The filters for the ice maker/water are on backorder (so many things these days are!) but we got notification they will be in next week and will be replaced. As you can see this property has many, many amazing reviews from years of happy guests, it is solidly booked and easily one of our top rentals for very good reason. ESPM prides itself on having top notch, quality rental properties and an amazing staff to care for them. Our guest service team manager will be reaching out to you to discuss your stay experience.

We truly enjoyed our stay in Mariner's Watch and definitely plan to be back! The villa was even more beautiful than the photos and the ocean view was incredible. The main living area is very spacious and the kitchen is equipped with anything you could possibly need. The direct access to the beach can't be beat either. Highly recommend this stay to anyone planning a trip to Kiawah Island!
