This home was just what we wanted and as advertised. Very bright, clean, nicely decorated and well-located. There were some nice extras, such as beach stuff, available for our use. The property manager was quite responsive. Would come back in a heartbeat.

The layout of the house is fantastic for a large group. Everyone has space without being directly on top of one another. The outdoor porch was great to watch the wildlife and yes there are several gators and snakes to be observed. A gate would be a nice idea to discourage those who think since it’s not gated it must be ok to go down and explore……it’s not. The Sweetgrass coffee starter was so good we tried tracking down the blend for purchase but learned it was proprietary and not for sale. We then had to break down the k-cups bc that was the only coffee we brought. We assumed all had keurig machines. I would think that this house would have more enhanced offerings in terms of beach chairs, umbrellas and a trolley to bring g all the gear back and forth. The outdoor space could have been better maintained in terms of cobwebs and the like but I suppose the cleaning team is focused on turning over the inside. The wine fridge really did not maintain a cool temp and the fridge was on small side so could not handle the addtl load. The dishwasher was not secured so when it was loaded or unloaded I had to hold it to prevent it from falling forward. We did call twice but it was not addressed by the on call person. The alarm battery was low and although he silenced it, it only lasted 12 hours and started intermittently alarming at 1 am. We were never successful in getting the Cable Tv to work (not addressed in the book about property) but luckily was able to get Apple TV account to work so caught up on Ted Lasso. All in all, great location, close proximity to Fresh Field Market and the beach. Really no need to leave the island. Would definitely recommend to others.

12 Surfsong is a great house and has a great location. We stayed for two weeks. We visited from out of state and could not bring a lot of staples from home. Our biggest complaints are the mattresses. Especially in the primary bedroom. They are old and sagging. I slept on the bump in the middle of the bed, but then my husband was not able to get rest. By the end of the two weeks I slept on the couch. We left a day early because we wanted to go to my parents house where we knew the beds are comfortable. That was disappointing. The full size bed in the first bedroom and another bed in the room above the garage are also sagging and not comfortable to sleep. When the air conditioner stopped working on the 4th of July a maintenance person came out in the afternoon. That was greatly appreciated. Maintenance recommendations: The house should have beach towels. It is hard to bring when flying from out of state. Iron does not turn on. Ice maker is not working. We bought ice. Kitchen should have dish towels and a starter dish soap. Dishwasher needs to be attached. It leans out of the cabinet when it is open. Doorknob for the door onto the screen porch needs to be tightened. Light out on the screen porch. If the mattresses are updated, I would consider staying again. The house had good space for a group to enjoy and have space. The puzzles were fun. Our children enjoyed the room with pocket doors. They had their own 'living room'. Fireworks at Kiawah were great view from the beach. We were able to ride a couple times to the tower. We have young children ages 4 and 6. They had a blast. The lagoon did not disappoint with an osprey eating near by and alligators too. Thanks for letting us review 12 Sursong.

Great spot for a family gathering with adults and grandkids. Wonderful chef’s kitchen meant we never needed to eat out. Only a couple minutes walk to the beach. Kiawah is the best for beach play with flat sands and mild waves.

Everything was fantastic! I would highly recommend.

This was a great rental with a very convenient layout and close to the beach. However, the cleaning crew seems like they cut some corners. Deck furniture was very dusty, as were some lamps around the house. We loved our stay though!

Great home, used BBQ was in a good shape, all kitchen needs one would want. Great location to the beach.
