Great house picked it due to size and location…it did not disappoint

Awesome location and huge house. Plenty of room for the entire family. House was great and location was incredible. Wish we could have stayed forever!

Great place, great furnishings and spectatular ocean view. Please upgrade the cookware, dinnerware and flat wear. It was not good!
4.4
Location on the beach and close to boardwalk was great. House is big and mostly clean. The living room couches looked like from a frat house yard sale. It’s a beach house and should provide beach chairs. Also , very bare bones … not even salt and pepper. No view of the beach except from two bedrooms.

We stayed at this home during the weekend of the KI Marathon. Great location, beautiful home. Couldn't have worked out better for our family
4.4
Though we loved the layout and the location of the house, the interior was very 'tired' and sadly the hot water did NOT work in all the second floor bathrooms. Also, the kitchen sink sprung a major link on our fifth day. Though the property manager was responsive and sent someone out, it only fixed the issue for an hour and it happened again. This made the kitchen now unusable which resulted in us departing early. Given the caliber of the home and the price we paid, I would have expected top of the line furnishings and that everything works throughout the stay. Sadly we ended our trip two days early :-(
4.4
Extremely convenient access to beach and bike trails. Spacious home on 3 levels giving plenty of privacy if you need it and togetherness when you want it.
4.4
Great location, no problems or issues. Interior clean but slightly worn - everything worked as it was supposed to. No complaints.
4.4
Great house and location. Very spacious, easy access to the beach. It would have been nice if option to have some beach chairs to use was included or available. We had to purchase a number of chairs to just use a few days.

Nice house on Kiawah Island
Property management were very responsive. Our stay was impacted slightly by a malfunctioning AC unit. Minor cleaning issues. Great location with shared boardwalk to the beach. Nice views from upper two balconies, hardly any from living room, dining, deck and porch.

Best beach location!
If you are going to Kiawah to enjoy the beach - this is the spot. Perfectly situated on the best stretch of the beach with the beach access boardwalk just steps away. Lots of space and light and wonderful views from the porches. Enjoy!!!

Loved our stay! 3 couples in our party and we had plenty of room. Check in process was super easy. Kitchen was great, however, could use better accessories (sadly, outside gas grill is not usable). However, all other amenities were wonderful. Beach access was perfect. Hope to rent this house again in the future!

Amazing home!
Property was clean and well maintained.

I have reached out to property management before posting this review but have not received a response, so here goes. This property has so much potential. It is priced as a top tier property due to its proximity to the beach and the views from the upper floors of the property. There is no view of the ocean from the first floor; other than that, the floor plan is great, there is tons of storage and room for a large party to stay.
As prior reviewers have noted, the property is showing its age. Carpets are in need of a deep clean or replacement, bathrooms are functional but shower doors stick, and the like. Furniture fits the decor well, but is worn and in need of cleaning. The doors from the home to the decks are heavy and very difficult to open. Hot water is slow to arrive at the tap, and even then it is barely lukewarm. The kitchen is dated and not as well stocked as I would have expected. There is a pool right next door to the property, but no access to that pool or any other on the island.
None of this would have mattered to me except that we paid top dollar for this property, at a rate comparable to some pretty spectacular homes we have rented through VRBO in places like Hawaii and Florida. For that price it should have been close to perfect, and it was not.
I would rent this home again if the owners were to either make some serious updates, or if the nightly price was greatly reduced. Until either of those happens, I would advise potential renters to do your homework before choosing this property, and decide if the extra space is worth the extra cost despite these issues.

We have stayed at this property three times with our large family. Love that there is so much room and extra options if you need a little alone time (library on first floor, screened in porch on main floor, balcony porches) Beach access could not be better! The furnishings are a bit worn--nothing has been updated in quite a while, but the location and space are unmatched.
4.4
I have thought long and hard about sharing a review about our stay, as we had a very challenging experience at this property. In short, the owner and agency made things right by us, but as someone who relies on other travellers' reviews, it's important to be honest and understand upfront what you are renting.
This property has a wonderful location and is spacious with a perfect layout for big groups. It's unfortunately well past its prime and should be taken out of rotation for significant renovations and maintenance. We are long-time renters in Kiawah and know the market well. The challenges we experienced in this home were beyond anything we could have expected - we read other reviews and thought things would be dated, but we did not expect the significant issues that impacted the quality of our stay. We spent the whole week documenting and coordinating repairs instead of enjoying the caliber of experience you would expect in Kiawah.
There were significant issues with regards to quality, maintenance, cleanliness and especially safety. I am disappointed to not be able to share more positive information about this stay, but appreciate the efforts that were made to rectify the situation in the end.

Had a great time. The house was even better than the pictures. Plenty of room for family. Grilling on the back deck looking at the ocean was spectacular.

This house provided the perfect balance of private and shared spaces for our family reunion. Proximity to the beautiful beach is wonderful. Difficult to open sliding doors to the porches, but, once outside, the view was spectacular.

Our family was super comfortable in this house. The main living space was nice and open. And all the rooms were comfortable. We’d definitely stay here again.

A very special place
Wow! This about sums up this incredible property. When the adults are just as giddy walking through the doors as the children, you know you have landed in the right place. The location is PERFECT, the decor COASTAL CHIC and the entire experience in Kiawah was INCREDIBLE. Purchasing an experience online can always be daunting because you are trusting 'static' pictures - to actually stay in this house and be footsteps from the ocean, hear the waves from the bedrooms and see the entire beach from the master balcony was surreal. Our family and friends made memories that will last a lifetime and we will be back to this property guaranteed.
To the staff, we thank you for always being a phone call away and for making this a seamless transaction.

Home needs a deep clean and maintenance
The pros of this house are location and plenty of space. However, the photos are misleading. This home needs a deep clean and maintenance. The carpets are filthy. The LR carpet is badly stained and dirty. The dining room carpet has wax on it. The hallway carpet on th 3rd floor has a big stain. The house needs to be repainted in high traffic areas, like the stairs. The light bulbs are burned out in the TV room on the first floor (50%) of them, and all over the dining room table (or else one of the switches is not working). Every single door to a porch or balcony sticks and does not slide smoothly. Some of their locks don't work, and for a house at this price point, you don't expect to have to use a wooden stick to secure the door. The master shower door wont stay closed when you try to secure it from the inside, so the bathroom floor is wet after every shower. And the hot water is lacking — lukewarm in the master bath, nonexistent in the other bathrooms, and lukewarm on the 3rd floor. The plug in the claw foot tub in the master bath will not hold water for more than a few minutes. It is constantly draining while you are in it. The kitchen cabinet doors need to be wiped down, and the trash drawer needs maintenance. It wont pull out smoothly and doesn't pull out all the way. The outdoor furniture cushions are mildewed, and the covers need to be removed and washed. Bottom line — someone needs to take this home out of rotation for a week or two and give it a deep clean and some TLC. It's a great house in terms of location and size. But the pictures lead you to believe it is well-maintained, which is misleading.

Gorgeous house on the beach
Just like the pictures - this house is stunning and the location was perfect. Plenty of space for everyone. Stunning views from the balconies. Very responsive property manager - no hot water at first, but fixed early the next morning. Comfortable beds and lots of nice extra touches.
