Great stay!

Surrounded by old trees, you feel like staying in a green-house, sitting on the porch and wondering if an alligator will really show up in the lagoon right in front. The vegetation is simply amazing. The beach is wonderful for bike riding. The apartment is very well equipped with beach chairs for 4, even sand toys for the kids. To recommend for couples (privacy) and families alike.

Perfect getaway for two!

We come to Kiawah every year - this is our first time staying in East beach. The villa was exactly as described - clean, well stocked with everything you need and a five minute walk to the beach. The porch looks over the lagoon across the bike path - we saw deer multi times a day, herons and one large alligator. Relaxing and beautiful - we will stay here again.

Beautiful!

A short, amazing walk to the beach. This place has everything you could need. Very clean and comfortable. You won't want to get out of bed here. Lots of towels and blankets. The screened porch is perfect for relaxing after a long day and bike rentals can be dropped off right at your door.

Mother Daughter Weekend.

Not very pleased, TV in living room did not work. There were bugs/roaches all in the kitchen. The bed was uncomfortable as well. My daughter and I have been coming to Kiawah for the last 7 years for Mother’s Day and we love it here. But the bugs were a big turn off.

Very Convenient Location

Thank you Tom for allowing us to stay in your villa/condo. We had an amazing time. Unit is very close to the beach and Nest shop and cafe. In addition to it’s excellent location, our favorite part of the condo was the screened back porch. We enjoyed drinking coffee on the porch while watching the squirrels, heron, egert, and gator. We had such a relaxing stay. The condo was well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you.

Wonderful KIAWAH

We love Kiawah and always bring our bikes because the bike lanes are all over the island and are fabulous . Our cozy condo was very nice. The mattress is excellent! We slept much better here than at home! There is a resident heron who we have gotten to know over our 2 visits here! He is right outside our window in a little pond where we can watch his every move. Cannot wait to return!

We'll be back!

This was the latest of multiple years we have rented this unit. We had one issue of which the owner was made aware and addressed promptly. Note: We couldn't ever figure out how to work the tv, but we are a little technically challenged in such matters. We used our lap tops for news, etc and were fine! Who comes to Kiawah to watch tv anyway?

Excellent Stay during Tropical Storm Debby

We didn't expect to spend as much time inside the villa as we did, but Tropical Storm Debby arrived soon after we did and made for a rainy, windy start to our vacation. Thankfully, Tom sent us many updates from the Kiawah Island Community Association related to the storm and its effects on the roads, businesses, etc. We had no issues with power or water during the storm. The living room was very cozy, and the bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the view of the pond outside the back porch, and after the storm passed, we got to see a Great Blue Heron there. Some people may not appreciate that not everything there is the latest and greatest (such as cabinets, fixtures, etc.) but everything was clean, presentable, and in working order, and that was more important to us than how up-to-date it was. Oh, and the TV is a new Smart TV, which we used more than expected, and with no problems. In short, the place suited our needs perfectly.

Good location to beach

The inside is a little "long in the tooth". Needs more eating utensils, a nonstick fry pan, and smaller furnishings...coffee table. Other than that it was fine.

Exceeded my expectations!

Thomas is a wonderful wonderful host and I was left with zero questions upon arrival. The accommodation is clean and comfortable and the location is ideal for anyone that wants close access to the beach and Night Heron Park (especially helpful with kids). The beach umbrella and multiple beach chairs were very much appreciated and probably in the best condition of any other property I have rented on the island (annually for 15 years). The freezer packs in the fridge were so helpful for grocery runs. I felt so comfortable like I was in a much-loved family home, which is really the best way to experience Kiawah in my opinion.
