Great House in a Great Location!

My family of five (2 adults, 3 kids - 6, 10 and 12) stay for five days in this lovely house. It was clean, nicely decorated, and had a room with a sweet bunk bed that my kids adored. We biked all around Kiawah and took advantage of the proximity to the beach, only a short walk or bike ride away. Delightful stay.

Comfortable house in West Beach, perfect for two families

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: This property was nestled in a great location in West Beach. Private feeling with a bike path running next to it. Inside was well situated, up-to-date and clean upon arrival. The third room with 4 bunk beds was perfect for the kids. All needs were met with kitchenware and dishes for many meals at home. As for negatives, the bedrooms and master bath get extremely hot in the afternoon sun every day which isn't welcome after a long day in the hot SC weather. Also, there is limited space - not a lot of counter space in the bathrooms or bedrooms and not much walking space in any of the three bedrooms. Overall, though a very nice experience for our two families!

Kiawah cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The house was terrific. We especially appreciated that the TV, wifi, and air conditioner were in excellent working order. The only problem we had was with a coffee pot that didn't work. When contacted, we were told it would be replaced the same day. It was not. When called a second time, we were told it would be delivered the next day. When we got home from the beach later the next day, it still wasn't delivered. After placing an angry phone message, it was delivered 20 minutes later....

Beautiful home minutes from the beach

The home was perfectly comfortable for 6 people. The kitchen had lots of pots, pans, plates, glasses and silverware. It was a little warm to use the screened in porch, but that would be fabulous in cooler weather. Beach was a five-minute walk or an easy bike ride. Bikes are a great way to get around. We saw dolphins and baby sea turtles. An amazing experience!

Nice place but has a smell issue

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 cottage is very updated. The size is great, as it sleeps up to 8 people. It was an easy process renting from Akers Ellis and the bike credits are an extra perk. The cottage is very close to the beach. There were some drawbacks to this cottage. We had an issue with sugar ants on the counter each day. The property management team knew about this as they told us the ant traps on the counter were for this reason but it didn't seem to help and we had to constantly spray them each day. The biggest issue was - When we arrived there was a bag of mothballs under the kitchen sink. We asked for these to be removed as they were very strong and emitting a lot of odors. I sent a message to akers ellis upon arriving, on the ipad check in site, asking for some type of odor neutralizer but I did not hear back from them. During the week, we did have headaches from the strong smell. Upon arriving home, it has been impossible to get the smell out of our luggage and any clothes or swimsuits that cannot be put in the dryer. This is unacceptable. I'm not sure what the reason for the mothballs was but the owners should really try something different. I will never rent this cottage again.

Nice beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We found the home clean and enjoyed our time. It’s close enough that you can walk to the beach. Our family enjoyed taking the bikes to the beach as well. The rental company was very prompt (in after hours) to send out a technician when the AC unit needed attention. They even offered us another rental if the unit couldn’t be repaired quickly. Fortunately, the issue was taken care of quickly. We did notice that oven glass was cracked. We decided against using it because it could be a safety issue. Overall, we had a good experience.

Great Stay for Quiet Get Away

My wife and I stayed at this rental for a quiet beach trip. The rental is very close to the beach access, either walkable or bikeable, but also nestled quietly in the foliage of Kiawah. The house was very clean and welcoming. The kitchen was fully stocked for all cooking and drinking needs. Would highly recommend for anyone searching for a quiet beach vacation!

Great Getaway

Really good house in a solid location. The whole booking and check in/check out process was super easy. The app provided was extremely helpful. The only small glitch was cleaning was a bit late and delayed access to the house by about thirty minutes beyond the 4pm started check in. Renting gear was seamless and when we had a small maintenance incident, again, the app made requesting help very convenient. Overall, a near perfect getaway for our family.
