The villa was as advertised. Lovely spot close to the beach and the walking trails. We enjoyed the sun deck in the property too (when the beach got a little breezy). Quiet, just a great spot.

Perfect for family holiday celebration

We rented this unit for a family gathering over the holidays as it was close to the unit our daughter and son in law own in the next building. They came and went throughout the visit with our 2 yr old granddaughter as did our other adult children who came in from Charleston. This unit was perfect thanks to its spacious layout, puzzles and games, and well-stocked kitchen. We enjoyed our stay!

Very comfortable condo

This condo is spacious, especially the bedrooms. Balconies off each room, which were nice to sit on in the evenings. Very quiet. Master bedroom bed was super comfy. Loved the benefit of the boardwalk straight to the beach. Clean. Well stocked kitchen with every pot, pan, glass, utensil, appliance you may need. TYSM.

Fun in Kiawah

Perfect location - right on the beach. It was the right size for our family of 4. Apartment was clean and well-stocked and recently renovated. The carpet in the master bedroom was a bit worn and could use an update. We will consider staying at this location again when we plan a trip to Kiawah.

Condo not ocean view. Parking lot view. Listed as ocean front. Misleading. Big disappointment.

Disappointed in view. No washer dryer in condo. Community laundry often busy. Did like easy beach access. Bathrooms with outdated showers. Dishwasher needs service.

We are truly sorry to hear that you weren't pleased with the villa. We do make every effort to accurately depict the property and its features and amenities through the photos and property description as is such with the view, bathrooms and community laundry. I am pleased to say that no other issues with the dishwasher were reports, and it seems to be working properly at this time. We hope that you were able to enjoy your time on the island despite these circumstance.
