Great Place to Stay on Kiawah Island

This property had all we needed for a great stay at Kiawah! The home was clean and well-stocked. Communication with the property manager was great. It is just a quick 5-minute walk to the beach access and an even shorter walk to Nest, where we enjoyed nice breakfasts. If you have younger kids, the location is amazing. It backs up to the soccer fields and would be a very quick walk to the kids' activities at the Nature Center. Would definitely highly recommend!

This vacation condo is well furnished and in a great location. You can walk to the beach in less than five minutes. The Night Herron complex is walkable (very bear) and the Nest Cafe is nearby. The kitchen was stocked and ready for meal preparation. This place is definitely only for early risers though. There is a soccer/baseball field directly in the backyard of the condo. At 7AM most days of your stay you will be awakened by a very loud riding lawnmower mowing the field. The mowing takes about 2 hours on the mornings it happens (usually every other day). On vacation sleep is a premium for me and not being able to sleep was a minus for this unit/building. Otherwise it was quite nice.

Not what I expected

Cleanliness of the property failed to meet expectations. I usually don't leave reviews, I just don't return. I will however use VRBO again just will not stay at that location.

We are truly sorry that the cleanliness of the villa fell short. We do work with our housekeeping partners to ensure that all of our properties are guest ready for every arrival, and it seems that we fell short of that for your stay. We did offer to have it recleaned as soon as it was brought to our attention, which was declined, as you wanted to enjoy your reminder of your stay. We have spoken about this with the housekeepers to ensure that it does not happen in the future.

Fall Getaway

My wife and I visited for a week in November, 2022. The property is clean and well stocked. The location is terrific. The exterior deck and screened-in-porch could use a little TLC.

Great location

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: This was our 2nd stay at 4550 Parkside, both times for a month. It is a clean, well-furnished condo. We enjoyed the comfortable furniture on the screened-in porch. The only negative in the kitchen is the condition of the non-stick pans. Other pans are good. The location is very convenient to the beach, the nature center.

Good location for biking and a park plus ocean access

Overlooked a park. Quick access to nearby luxury hotel the Sanctuary. Book bikes for sure. Steps up to the unit but top door is quiet and has high ceilings and large decks and screened porch. Property mgt came out quickly to fix a few things like light bulbs or sticking door. Lots of texts and emails to make sure all was ok too. Plenty of space for yo to 4 people for sure. Family members have stayed in this unit before so we had no surprises being repeaters. Only suggestion is change from a manual lock box to a digits lock so all vaitors can come and go and not fumble with a punch box especially at night as the box is spark and hard to see at night. A Pkus would be a better speaker system for the tv in the LR for movies with bass or aubwoofer.

The soccer field (with Night Heron Park just beyond the field) is about 30 steps behind the property. The beach is a 6-7 minute walk away or about a 2 minute bike ride. We would definitely stay here again! It was cozy and inviting, and Akers Ellis is great to work with!

Family getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: this property was very nice, but you are being ripped off by the cleaning team. used band-aide stuck to one bed in guest bedroom. roaches in bath tub and where washer and dryer are stored. Mold on refrigerator door. Stove was dirty. Lightbulbs not working in hallway and in one lighted cupboard. the tracks on sliding glass doors were disgusting.the screened in porch was filthy. Too bad because 0ne can see the owners took great care in decor and other amenities.

Thank you for your feedback. We are terribly sorry to hear of any issues experienced during your stay. Unfortunately, looking through our records, it does not appear that we were made aware of anything while you were with us. I can confirm that the HOA facilitated their quarterly pest treatment on the day that you arrived. In regards to the other issues, I have passed them along to our team to ensure each is investigated and addressed accordingly. I am pleased to advise that the current guests have not reported any issues thus far, so we believe that they have been taken care of and will double check to ensure that is the case.

Great Stay

We loved the place and the location. It was perfect for a family of 4, including 2 teenagers. Being so close to Heron Park for basketball play and activities was great. Beach was a quick bike ride from this place. Love riding bikes over the bridge of water and checking for alligators. Thank you!

Excellent stay

We really enjoyed the rental property. It was exactly what we'd hoped for. It was very clean and cozy with a great location. Thanks to the Akers Elis team for the quick response to fixing our washing machine that flooded the kitchen. The people I spoke with were very kind. I also appreciate the communication leading up to our vacation. It made me confident that everything was in order. Thank you.

Just what we needed!

The property was in a great location- very close to beac , local store and Freshfield farms. Started off with a bang (thunderstorms) and ended up being a beautiful week. The property manager was very responsive to some minor issues. Definitely would stay here again.

Another great trip to Kiawah

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: Different combinations of our family have been coming to Kiawah for 35+ years. This year it was just my wife and me. 4550 Parkside turned out to be a perfect unit for us. Its pluses are fresh and cheery decor; well equipped; comfortable bed; and great location with easy beach access. The rental process with Akers Ellis could not have been smoother.
