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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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.
