About this house rental
Take advantage of special beach gear and bike credit! This Kiawah Island vacation rental offers 4 bedrooms, a private pool and spa, and an open floor plan. The home is about a 3-minute walk to the beach. This lovely home was reintroduced to the rental market as of 2021.
This home’s open floor plan allows for easy conversation and entertaining. The large living area, an ideal place for gathering, offers high ceilings, plenty of seating, and a flat-screen TV. Just past the main living area is the dining area with seating for 6 guests. Adjacent to the living area is the fully equipped kitchen, offering white cabinetry and a pass-through counter with bar stool seating. Additional dining space can be found in the breakfast area, located just off the kitchen, which provides seating for 6 guests, a TV, and access to the deck.
Ascend the stairs to reach the master suite, which comprises the entire second floor. It offers a king bed, TV, cozy side chair and ottoman, and bathroom with double sinks and soaking tub and shower, plus access to a private deck overlooking the pool area. The remaining 3 bedrooms are found on the first floor. Off the main living area are two bedrooms – one with a king bed and another with two full beds – each with a TV and private bathroom. Located off the entry hall is another bedroom with a private bathroom featuring a twin over twin bunk bed, daybed, and twin trundle.
The spacious back deck overlooks the pool and is accessible from multiple locations on the first floor. Descend the deck steps to reach the pool and spa.
The home is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.

The spa can be heated for an additional $75 per day.
This pool may be heated in cooler months for $75 per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available.

We selected the property due to its proximity to the beach and it was wonderful being so close. The check-in process was fantastic. The home offered plenty of space and provided a great layout for our family. The kitchen was well stocked and having a grill was excellent. The home was not entirely clean upon our arrival and there were quite a few bugs in the home during our stay.

We had a fun time playing in the pool and going to the beach.

We booked the house for the pool and hot tub, sadly both were quite dirty when we arrived. The positive was location to the beach, wonderful , a very short walk. The inside of the houses was just old, carpets and furniture were stained, mattresses in all rooms were old and lumpy. Primary bedroom door was constantly stuck and needed The Hulk to push it open. Net, if you don’t care about the inside, this houses is for you!

We had a great stay. The house is nicer in person as the ceilings are high and photos don’t capture how spacious the common area is. Lots of bathrooms to accommodate a group. Really good location for the beach and we loved the pool. There were a few bugs but it’s the beach — it’s simply impossible to have no bugs or anything. No real complaints, would return again.

Awesome location - The house is fine but the location is truly terrific. Definitely rent bikes and beach chairs. Some sort of pool floats would be a nice addition.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location to the beach was great as it was a couple minute walk. The house was nice and in good condition with plenty of space. The outdoor space including the pool deck could use some work. The property group was easy to work with and very helpful. Overall we would recommend it as a good value/location.

We arrived at 4:15pm (check-in was at 4pm) and the house had not yet been cleaned from the previous renter. It was a horrible welcome. The house itself was very rundown and in need of updates. On the positive side, the pool was very nice and heated. The house was also a close 5 minute walk to the beach. The house itself, however, was not well maintained so I would not choose to stay here again.

Beautiful location. I was told Management Company just took over rental, so there were several cosmetic issues (ceiling stains)and pest issues that still needed to be addressed. (Saw several dead and live cockroaches in one bedroom, but given on an island we are accustom to these things) Very dirty filters in HVAC vents, one HVAC unit didn't work, so two of four bedrooms got uncomfortably warm. Once again, Management company probably hasn't had a chance to fix these issues yet. There was no pool service the entire week, so if you didn't understand pools, this is not the property for you. By the end of the week the pool was very dirty despite constant strainer changing and skimming of the pool several times a day, but it was very windy, and location had tons of trees dropping leaves etc. in pool. Beautiful pool and hot tub integration. Very relaxing to have private pool at location. Just be prepared to maintain it. Overall very nice rental unit for the money spent. Great location in regards to the beach. Close to bike paths. Definitely planning on going back.

Pool, spa, deck, and proximity to the beach were definitely the highlights of this home. We really enjoyed our stay.

This home is situated on a quiet street and is just steps away from the beach access. Kiawah's beach is the most relaxing place I have ever been. While it's not deserted, there are very few people around your space. The pool at the home was very refreshing and welcomed after a day at the beach. Inside, the beds were comfortable and everything we needed to cook with was supplied.

We love vacationing in Kiawah and renting with Akers Ellis. This year's house had a great location on Forestay court, close to the beach. The house itself is very dated, but has a nice pool and the grill and kitchen are very conveniently located. We had a great time and would love to visit this house again...if the following problems can be addressed: The deck does not provide pool access, and the deck's wood is old and un-cared for. The front door steps off the street are also made of the same aged decking wood. The tiles around the pool are shifting and uneven, which makes the circle-shaped filter cover not fit properly; my daughter fell through the cover and banged her knee on the surrounding tile because the cover wasn't secure and spun around when she stepped on it. The master bathroom's jacuzzi/tub was cracked so could not be used. The large towel rack over the master bath tub pulls out of the wall and cannot be used. The master shower had two shower heads, which is nice, but the one on the right shoots water through the on/off handle when turned on, and seems to be ready to break so we didn't use it. Lots of water damage to the ceilings in the main TV room next to the kitchen. Lots of spider webs and spiders on the ceiling corners leading up to the master bedroom. The clothes washing machine leaks and leaves a small puddle on the floor.

House is a short bike ride to beach, has a nice floorplan, but is in need of repairs and updates. Several beds were quite old and uncomfortable, but the master mattress had such extensive wear that there were deep depressions down each side. The front steps were slippery and in need of pressure washing. The roof has obviously had many leaks and there are numerous areas of dark mildew on the ceiling and around the skylights. Patches of the ceiling are peeling. The pool heater will heat either the pool or hot tub, but not both at the same time. Directions on the control pad say to turn off the pool to heat the hot tub.

Our time spent on Kiawah is always cherished. We absolutely love the beach which is why this home was so appealing to us. The walk was probably about 2-3 minutes.
4.5
Very beautiful and calming place to spend a week. This break from work right before the kids go back to school is exactly what we needed. Can't complain about this home. It is located in a great spot from the beach and has a deck overlooking the pool which made watching the kids easy. Pool is bigger than I expected. Great customer service was also provided through out our stay.
