Great close to beach getaway

Weekend visit

We enjoyed our stay. We took advantage of the bicycle credit and rode all over the island and on the beach. We also went to the beach a few days easily within a few minutes walk or bike ride. We enjoyed meals at several places on the island and daily coffee at The Nest! Saw alligators deers and plenty of lizards, chipmunks and squirrels on the bike path. The accommodations were perfect for our needs. Would stay again-

Internet and distance to beach

We liked the shower,bed and the back patio and water feature in the lake. We did not like the fact that the online description was incorrect. It was not a 2 minute walk to the beach but a 6 minute walk and that was walking at a brisk pace and it said it had cable but it had only 6 channels and two of those were shopping channels. Those things were really misleading. That needs to be corrected in the online description. We would have not rented it if it had been put in the online ad.

Quick Visit

Never been to Kiawah. West beach was a very convenient location. Property was adequate for our 2 day visit. Unfortunately, we spent more on owner, cleaning, administration, and registration fees than we did on the rental amount. All of the wait staff, caddies, pro shop and other staff were all extremely hard working and very friendly. Love the look and feel of Kiawah but got fleeced by the prices at the various club house restaurants. The Player restaurant at Cougar Club charged $28 for a small grilled fish sandwich and French fries. A less than delicious hamburger was $24. They also charged $95 for a grocery store ($17) bottle of wine. The quality of the food and wine was not comparable to the prices charged. We will come back to Kiawah but will eat out less.

Great location for trips on and off the island. Just the right size for me and two teens. Fully equipped with everything we needed. The bike rentals were really nice. The mattresses on the bed and pull out couch could be updated. Thanks a lot!!

Very nice place but needed some updates

We had a lovely stay. The condo is small, but nice. It needs a few updates and instructions on how to use things would have been helpful. We had trouble turning on the shower, the dryer, and the TV. The sink caved in on our last night, but the agency was very sorry and offered to move us. A walking map to the beach would have been nice to have, although the one provided by the leasing agency was somewhat helpful. (Think of details when developing such instructions.) The agency was very pleasant and helpful throughout.

Perfect size and location

Last minute plans for Spring Break and first time to Kiawah. The condo was on the smaller side (to be excepted from listing description) but it was the perfect size for 2 adults and 1 child. The location was a very short walk to the beach, short bike ride to other activities and a short drive to the Freshfields Market area for shopping, dining and groceries. We rented bikes and beach chairs which worked out well. The reservation process was easy and check-in procedure was communicated well. Would stay here again.

Location good, place strong chemical smell upon arrival

The strong chemical odor required us to open the slider and keep the fan on for two days straight to get the smell out. Although the smell was a cleaning product, the floors were not swept well. Prior reviews reported a musty smell and indicated it went away after turning on the AC. We experienced that as well but the musty smell did not go away. The shower controls were not easy to use. The refrigerator would not make ice. The tv channel selections were horrible. We would not rent this place again.

Perfect for Two

This was a last minute trip and we were delighted to have found it. The only complaint I have is that there was a musty smell to the place when we first arrived, but turning on the air conditioner and allowing some air to pass through the home got rid of that pretty quickly. The management group was very responsive to our questions and problems. Namely, we couldn't figure out how to operate the shower. No water would come out no matter what way we turned the handle. Some one was sent out early the next day and they were very gracious in telling us that all we needed to do is pull the handle. So embarrassing, but they were very gracious. You'll have all you need for a stay. There is not any storage that we could find in the kitchen, which was fine because most of our food items needed to be refrigerated, but just know that a ton of groceries that need to go in cabinets will not fit. The location of the unit was perfect to get to the store or the beach. My husband took advantage of renting bicycles, which I thought was going to be a waste of money, but we really enjoyed them and I'm so glad we did. I haven't ridden a bike in over 15 years, but it was fun to ride down the beach and all the bike paths are well tended and safe. Although there were people staying around us with dogs, we hardly heard them from in our unit, only if they were outside and barking at something. We would stay again.

Comfortable cozy spot and very close to the beach

It was a great spot to stay and would’ve given it five stars on all accounts except there was construction going on right outside the unit and we weren’t aware that this was going to happen. I’m pretty sure the owners didn’t know it was going to happen either. Otherwise great spot to stay
