Lovely home! Very well- equipped!

This was a wonderful home for our family of grown adult children and adult parents and friends. 2 separate houses meant that the older adults didn’t wake the younger too early, and the younger adults didn’t keep the older ones up past our bedtime! It made for a happy well-rested group…

Miller’s Kiawah island adventure

It was a very nice house. The one thing that bothered everyone is that there was an ant problem in the house. They were ants in our bathroom, bedroom, the. Kitchen and by the front door. You need to get an exterminator to “treat” the house. Outside of the critters, it a great house that suited our family quite well. While the area was beautiful and well taken care of, it was too difficult to get to the beach area;. It took to much driving to get to a beach area.

Good house for bigger group

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The house was tidy when we arrived, but there are areas that certainly could use updating. The kitchen had plenty of flatware, etc. The fridge was not cold (the freezer worked fine) but they sent someone as soon as we called and it got fixed. The pantry had a broken shelf but overall it was adequate for a rental. The pictures were accurate to the posting. The hall to the garage had mildew all over it (certainly was not cleaned anytime recently. TV's work fine, as did the showers, etc. The pool was not heated, which was NOT mentioned in the listing. I think pools are generally considered to be heated, so if it can't be heated, I think that should be mentioned. The cabana was nice and slept three easily. Access was easy to everywhere we were going.

Great size for large family

We rented this for our larger family. It had plenty of room and the pool was super great to have. We were excited to find a ping pong table that was not listed. Kitchen was very nice size to cook. We were not pleased to find the pool needed cleaned and the mosquitoes were terrible when we first arrived. House was not as clean as some of the homes we’ve rented from Akers, found more bugs than we would have liked and the kitchen table had some broken/nearly broken chairs. We knew the distance from beach was further than we typically rented, but it was drivable and we biked in 10ish minutes. Akers was amazing at resolving the pool and mosquito issue. They had someone out to clean the pool within 24 hours, and he even came a second day and the pool looked amazing after than. They also had a man there to fog the home within 48 hours and our family and kids were able to enjoy the pool without being ate alive. All in all this house was nice and had lots of room to accommodate a large family.

Family trip

My family and I overall thought the property itself was beautiful. House well laid out and decorated. Having two living spaces was a plus. The complaints we have are regarding the attention to detail. The pool was not very clean and a few of the lounge chairs were broken so we were unable to use. The guest house kitchenette sink did not drain properly as well as the king bedroom bathroom. That bathroom sink and shower needed some maintenance since those did not drain properly either. The tub faucet is not attached to the wall either. Also, seemed to be a bug problem within house. Especially in the guest house which had some fire ants in the king bed and cockroaches within bedroom. I do think the property needs to be sprayed for bugs. Overall we enjoyed the property but think these issues do need to be addressed.

110 Governors Drive Kiawah

Great house for a large family vacation. The kids enjoyed the swimming pool and the separate guest house worked better than expected. But the house is very “tired” and needs a rehab badly. (All those large family gatherings take their toll). Also, too far from beach. Not walking distance and even too far for the 5 year olds to bike.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Overall stay was very nice. It’s always a plus to get away to nice quiet area without all the normal city hustle and bustle. Only complaint is for the cost of the house we expected things to be a lot cleaner. Just a few examples, hairs in the shower, built up dust and grim in the corners throughout the home, stained/worn furniture, and extra blankets not cleaned.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family really enjoyed this beautiful home. It was perfect for our growing family and a beautiful backdrop for my sisters wedding party to get ready in! We really enjoyed the VCay beach credit in which we got bikes with! That was a really nice bonus to this beautiful house. It is decorated absolutely beautifully and up to date. We enjoyed the outside area along with the pool. With that said we were not impressed with the cleanliness of this property. Upon arrival we discovered that the floors had not been swept or mopped. We called the company and they promised that someone would be out to clean the floors the next morning. When we went to get in bed that night my parents discovered that the master bedroom sheets had not been changed since the guest before. There was dirt, sand, and blood stains on the bed. The next morning the cleaning company arrived and they are the issue. They swept and tried to leave then once we asked them to mop they only mopped one room and then when we asked them to vacuum the rugs and carpet they only vacuumed one rug. We totally understand that things happen but we just were not happy with the cleanliness of this property. When we talked to management and by email we were never offered any type of refund or credit for the cleaning fees. We understand that this is not an issue Akers Ellis made but the cleaning company is not doing their job. Once we went to the store and got cleaning supplies ourselves we cleaned it to our liking and enjoyed the rest of the week in this beautiful home on a beautiful island!

Great for two families

The property was as advertised in photos. The layout of the guest house was perfect for a second family. We were a little disappointed in the pool and had some cooler days and being not heated wasn’t appealing. The bike paths were great and access to beach close by (still a drive and short walk or bike). The kitchen was pretty equipped. We enjoyed eating on the screened in porch. The door down to the garage on the inside could use a cleaning. Overall I would reccomend this house!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The house has been perfect for us. However, there are several housekeeping elements that should be improved: 1. Lights burned out in master bathroom 2. Cleaning supplies left in yard by driveway..paper towel roll and cleaning product 3. Kitchen porcelain sink was very stained. We cleaned with Chlorox which totally took care of staining. 4. Old hair bands and other small items left under bed in guest house. We vacuumed as it had not been cleaned. 5. Small shelves in kitchen had not been dusted in quite awhile. Again, we cleaned. 6. Few extra rolls of toilet paper in bathrooms. Some bathrooms had none. 7. Akers Ellis individual arrived at the house on two occasions without prior call. He was very nice, polite, but did not put on his mask until asked as he was walking into the house. A prior call would have been much appreciated and having a mask on when we opened the door...essential. I very much appreciated the thoughtful attention of Gerald Houcks who was most attentive. He made all the difference for us in ensuring a safe and great vacation. Thank you! House is perfect for a family with children. Pool is great!

Good space for large extended family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I, along with our 2 adult children, his sister, my sister and her husband, my mother, and both my mother and father-in-law stayed comfortably in this home. There was space for most everyone/couple to have their own room and bathroom. The 2 young adults stayed up in the play room of the back house and shared the down stairs bathroom. The house was clean when we arrived and the sheets were already on the beds, which was a nice surprise and it was great having the bath towels there and not having to bring them. The kitchen was fairly well stocked. Really the only things missing were some Pyrex-type casserole dishes, so if you need that you should bring. This house is not really a walk to the beach but those of us who could ride rented bikes and enjoyed that. We had a few small maintenance issues arise but each time I called someone came quickly and took care of the issue.
