4177 Night Heron Cottage by Akers Ellis Rentals

Perfect for a family of 5- we loved our stay! Excellent location and we walked to Night Heron Park many times. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable, good location.

The Villa was in a perfect location and was very spacious

What a perfect location to stay before running the Kiawah Island Half Marathon. Communication was excellent. We especially love the digital lock. Akers just emailed us our code, and all we had to do was show up at the property at/after 4 pm. No other check in process. The house was clean and beautiful. If only we had more time to stay!

The property is clean, safe, and quiet. Close to the Nest and a great park. And of course, all of the golf courses within the gates of Kiawah at a very fair price.

Bad start: the place was dirty. There is a long list of details that made us feel un-welcome and angry. The unit could have been wonderful except that so many things were wrong. Our complaints, however were addressed promptly, if incompetently. One example: the back porch, (which comes across in the photos as a lovely place), was, like the rest, very dirty. The people who came to clean powerwashed the room very thoroughly then left everything, the floor, the carpet the chairs and the seat cushions soaking wet. That pretty room was unuseable for the next two days. Cracks in much of the woodwork - crumbling drywall on all the bathroom ceilings, (mold?) rotten wood on the porch outside the master bedroom. Then, the manager offers us a 10% discount if we rent a place next year.

This was an ideal location....5 min walk to the beach and bike rideable to freshfields restaurants and stores. Overall we had a nice experience.

Area was incredible. Would need to get used to all the bugs for sure, inside and out.

This 3 bedroom worked out great for our group of 4. It is centrally located with only a 5 min walk to the beach. Property was clean and furnished with towels, toilet paper, paper towel and kitchen towels.

We arrived on Monday and found one of the stairs leading up to the cottage had a large hole in it and the bottom stair was wobbly, as well as the left hand railing. I immediately reported to rental company and they said they knew about the situation as someone had inspected the day before and it would be repaired the next day. At 3:00 the next day nothing had been done so I called again. I was told someone came but had to leave and get the right wood to repair. The repair person would be back the next morning (Wednesday). We had my parents with us and this was a dangerous situation for all of us, much less 2 elderly people! Someone finally came late Wednesday and repaired the hole by replacing the board and added screws to bottom stair only after we brought that to his attention as he was about to leave. Nothing done to the railing. The cottage inside is really nice and seems to be well kept. It’s unfortunate and incomprehensible that the stairs were in such terrible and dangerous condition and not addressed before our arrival. There’s just no excuse. We enjoyed the inside of this beautiful cottage and the communication with the rental company before we arrived was good. However, we are very disappointed with how this problem was handled during our stay.
