When I mapped the location, it looked like we had to walk down a road to get to the beach. The Boardwalk was literally across the parking lot from our front door.

Smaller than we usually rent

After issues with getting into the villa, lock box would not work initially until calling an emergency number and being told to use our car key to push a button in, and then the second key in the box did not work for this villa, a replacement was dropped off, but it also did not work the lock, we were finally able to enjoy the villa and the beach. The villa was clean and just as advertised. Great location to the park, beach, bike trails, and all we were hoping to explore.

Great Location

This little condo had the perfect location. Less than 2 minute walk to the beach, and walking/biking distance to the Nest Cafe. However the condo could use some updates. The screen on the screened in porch was ripped and “repaired” with tape, the blinds in the bedroom were damaged (able to see in the bedroom from the outside), and everything was just a little old. Ending up having a few cockroaches at the end of my stay as well.

Cute little condo

Bed was advertised as king and in fact a full. Not comfortable for two people. Window faces east and has no means of blocking out the sun. There is a venetian blind bit does absolutely nothing to block daylight at 5 am. Other than that, was a cute property.

Good location can use some updates

We enjoyed our sstay overall there was 1 issue we came back to tke a nap but culdnt because the whole section of units were being loudly pressure washed. I called the offic eshe just said there wasnt anything sceduled for that Saturday? We just went out for several hours while they finished. You could hear the up staits unit -people wqalking but I guess thats to be expected. The units location was good & we enjoyed our stay otherwise. We visited the fresh market along with other shops & restaurants there. We also visited Salty dog on seabrook since its so close.The only drive is out to the oceancourse we went there for lunch. very pretty. For the price worth the stay would reccomend it.

Has potential but greatly needs updating

Location was perfect. All areas need fresh paint,n sprucing up. Recommend purging/streamlining/organizing unnecessary items in cabinet/drawers so cabinets can actually close. Need spatula. Sliding door very hard to open and close. LOVED the screened in porch as I did not enjoy the couch area, just felt grungy. Only 1 key was in box. I left 2 notices to notify company so we don't get charged 85 for missing key. Never heard back so called a 3rd time so they could document missing key. For the price I'd give this a 6/10 as it was just OK. Loved Kiawah but would look for other accommodations next time.

Great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is in a great location! We loved the ease of walking across the street to get to the beach to watch the sunrise daily. Perfect size for 2, a bit tight for our family of 4- kids slept on pull out sofa in living room and had to close it up every morning. But unit was clean and comfortable. Kitchen, while small, has all necessary cooking supplies. And we did cook a couple of nights. The screened porch was a wonderful spot to sit and relax. Also made good use of washer/dryer. ESMP was very communicative and appreciated the gear rental credit. We used it to rent bikes which is part of the Kiawah experience. Overall very good value.

Villa at Kiawah Island

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved Kiawah Island and especially the bike trails. The villa was mostly clean except for a stain on the sheets. I had to wash them. It was well decorated but I think the doors need some repairs. The glass slider was so very heavy to try to open. I think the rollers are worn out and need repairing . Also the main entrance door was very hard to open , had to pull hard towards you and wiggle key. I think in this day and age a digital electronic key would be so much easier. Getting the key from the lock box wasn’t easy either. We rented a condo last year that had a digital keyboard on the food! It was awesome !

The pool and Night Heron park are right there too. Condo is within walking distance from the Sanctuary hotel. We enjoyed our stay at the property and really appreciated screened porch.
