Pros: Kiawah is beautiful and the Oceanwoods area is wonderful. The beach is only 230M away and in the winter is very quiet. We appreciate being able to bring our little dog with us. TV service and WiFi were okay. Cons: This cottage is in serious need of updating. Upholstered furniture is tired, worn and stained. Walls need cleaning and painting. All cabinetry is in rough shape with thermofoil coverings peeling off in many places. Carpeting in master bedroom and back bedroom is soiled and stained. Lots of small maintenance issues, too numerous to list. We love Kiawah and Oceanwoods but we would not rent this cottage again unless the deficiencies are addressed.

Two minutes from the beach on a quiet street and unbeatable price.

The home was very comfortable and the location to the beach was awesome.

We enjoyed our stay here! Reading some of the other reviews…yes, the home is older but we knew that going into it. Still, the place was nicely maintained with plenty of homey amenities like floor fans and splitters on major outlets. The beds were extremely comfy and the home was clean. Parking was a little tricky with the two car max so be aware of that. My only other wish was that the owners closet wasn’t the one closet in the master bedroom. We had to use other rooms closet space which was annoying but not the end of the world. Wish they could transfer the owners closet to one of the two general hall closets. The patio was awesome and the outdoor shower was super convenient. It is even closer to the beach than we realized which was great. There were two ant traps by the door when we got there but we kept the place very tidy so we never saw ants past the day we arrived. I’d say guests who see a lot of ants may need to re-examine their own tidiness lol. It’s the beach in the south, ants happen. Overall we would stay here again!

Great proximity to beach! Property manager could do a better job and cleaning off deck and front porch—lots of spider webs. We had asked for an outdoor broom to clean it for ourselves and never received one.

The open floor plan and spacious deck was perfect for our family of 8!!! Beach access was so close and the weather was perfect to top it off!!!

Lots of little repairs needed. E.g. shower door,front porch light short, was clean however

This villa is so conveniently located with a short walk to the beach, and close to pools and Night Herron Park. Set up was great for our family. The bunk room off the master may not work for everyone. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of room for the family to spread out. Needs attention on a few minor maintenance issues.

Location of this home is great. 5 stars! Very short walk to the beach and close to bike paths. The house layout is very nice, and with the additional room off the master bedroom, accommodates a lot of guests. The house could use some general maintenance and updates to things like kitchen supplies. People are spending a lot of money to stay here, and over time things like cookware should be updated.

Good location!!!

Great location! Air conditioning was working well! Kids loved the bunk room! Hot water never ran out! TV AND WIFI - great! Washer & dryer a good size! Desperately needs a deep clean inside and outside. Mold growing on the roof. The deck and picnic table covered in outdoor debris - unusable - they both also need a good power wash. Outside deck chairs were rusted and unstable. The outside shower was filled with webs and spiders. Inside: not enough chairs at dining table DR floor needs refinishing, DR rug - filthy - toss it. Kitchen: broken blender, not enough silverware for more than one meal, found a very dirty dish in the cupboard upon arrival, microwave door glass is about to slide out - pacemaker anyone? Kitchen drawers dirty as well as cupboard shelves. Living room - acceptable - very dated and worn looking furniture. Guest bathtub does not drain. Guest bath - not a single hook to hang a single thing. Queen guest mattress needs replacing - sore backs. There are plenty of places for hooks to hang “things” nothin exists in the entire house. Bunk room acceptable. Master bath shower door won’t close. Thousands of uninvited guests AKA ants crawling the walls. We did not report because we did not want any toxins in the house. Master bath shower - someone is bound to slip and kill themselves on that tile floor. We tried to vacuum (found in a closet) - it did not pick up any sand or dirt. - surprise - broken! No we won’t rent here unless it’s completely updated - we spent time down the street to get out of the house. It’s such a great location - too bad 460 is so neglected.

Wonderful property with a very short walk to the beach!! The kitchen was well stocked, exactly as described. Could use some updating but also insignificant as we enjoyed the great outdoors and felt cozy at night in the large space. Huge back porch, a great community feel, absolutely perfect! We would 100% return!

Close to the beach, cozy home, very accommodating managers. Only drawback is we were about an hour away from Charleston proper.

My family and I loved this home. It was so close to the beach, the amenities were good, and the layout of the home was perfect in terms of space and beds, etc. We cooked almost all of our meals (except one lunch), so we utilized the space well. Hosts were very responsive to questions and needs, and things were well maintained. We would definitely come back.

Nice place! Great location, close to beach and Park. Only frustration was that there were very few supplies. Minimal dishwasher soap, toilet paper. No aluminum foil, plastic wrap, crockpot, cookie sheets, etc. Would be nice to have some beach toys, paper, crayons, playing cards, etc. But, if you know to bring things….not a big deal. We would definitely return!

We loved the island but were a little disappointed in the cleanliness and upkeep of the house. The trash was overflowing in the outside bin when we got there and was only partially emptied while we were there The carpets need to be replaced

Rating Details:The property manager was very helpful.The vacation rental was very clean.I was very happy with the location.I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental.Overall, I recommend this vacation rental.Reviewer Comments:This was our first trip to Kiawah. We loved it. The house was in good condition. There were some maintenance issues that we alerted Beachwalker to, which they will hopefully address for future tenants, but overall it was a great home and super convenient to the beach. The beach access was a ramp instead of some of the others that were stairs... we liked this aspect. It worked well for lugging all of our kids stuff. Kids aged 8 & 6 are already begging for us to return next year.
