West Beach Heaven

A perfect stay at this small but excellent apartment. We loved the porch overlooking the pond, with the calming sound of the fountain and the views of birds, trees, and sometimes even an alligator. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. The short walk to the beach is another plus.

Short stay at the beach

The unit was clean and, while slightly dated, well-maintained, We enjoyed the screened-in porch overlooking the pond and fountain. Access to the beach was easy and it was nice being close to the mainland. Bike paths were accessible close by.

Super Satisfied Stay!

Lovely and well-stocked and very clean condo - great location, beautiful island, loved riding our bikes on the beach and many paved trails. Pond fountain was bit noisy and detracted from the serenity of the porch. (Kiawah lacked ethnic/racial diversity.)

Great location for conference and new h

This unit is the perfect location for conference attendees at the beautiful West Beach Conference Center. It’s is right next door to conference center and across street from beach access. Downside is the bathroom is a little small and the air conditioning kept the main living area cool but not the bedroom. Other downside is this unit did not include access to pools on the island which was a bummer for our 5 yr old. Overall we would consider staying here again.

Excellent location for both beach/conference center.

I would highly recommend this location and everything we needed was provided. Nice having a equipment rental credit as well. Only thing I would like to see is the fees seem a little bit too high but I think that could be said for most vacation rentals during this covid19 era. Thanks!

beautiful beach

We arrived to find our villa selection was not cleaned. Dirty linens and towels there. Was told there was a mix up and had to be moved to another property that was not great. We missed not having a screened porch and it was farther from beach. Highly disappointing.

West beach

Perfect location and fantastic environment. Only thing I would request is a beach shower on the ramp nearest our unit. Other than that it was perfection.
