57 Surfwatch Drive by Akers Ellis Rentals

Dirty property, especially outside.

Property manager was great when helping out some issues we had. Location to the beach was a nice short walk. The house was fine. Needed a refresh

This was our second stay at this property and our fourth visit to Kiawah. I’ll start by saying there is nothing terribly wrong with the property, but the wear and tear it has endured over the last couple of years since our last visit does not come through very clearly in the posted photos. The living room furniture is a bit tired and has some staining, the floors didn’t seem very clean when we arrived, the towels provided were few and very thin, etc. In addition, while we paid to have the pool heated ($75/day), it was obvious over our first two days that the pool wasn’t heating up. We called and were told it was too cold outside for the heater to kick in, but nobody offered any refund. Someone eventually stopped by to “fix” the issue (I think he just turned on the heater!). The location of the property to Night Heron Park and the beach is excellent. In the end, I just expected more/better for the price it costs to stay at this property. We will search for another property the next time we visit.

Outdoor areas/screened porch were not attended to at all. Interior clean for most part -

Our family celebrated Thanksgiving at Kiawah. 57 Surfwatch is in a perfect location to enjoy all that Kiawah has to offer. House has great space, supplied well and managed well. We had a few issues that were taken care of promptly My only complaint is the living room rug, it is shredded on the edges and we were tripping over it all week. Other than that no complaints.

Very nice property in an excellent location.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: A great house for sure. We really enjoyed the spacious interior and the pool was outstanding. The exterior of the home is beginning to show some wear and tear and for this price point we would have expecting higher quality amenities from the outdoor furniture, grill and screened in porch. Overall a beautiful place to stay and a very short bike ride to the beach.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was wonderful. We loved having a pool and it was so well-equipped. There were even toys and books for the kids to play with. The pool was shaded which was a nice reprieve from the August heat. All of the sheets and bedding were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well-equipped and organized! The only issue we had were spiked pinecones falling into the pool. We had to sweep it quite a few times and it was impossible to get them out of the pool from the bottom without a pool vacuum.

We've been coming to Kiawah for years with our girls and have stayed many places on the island. This house was exceptional. It is even more gorgeous than the photos...beautifully decorated, wonderfully spacious with lots of natural light and well-appointed with many thoughtful amenities. The house was clean and comfortable and just gorgeous. A quick bike ride to easy beach access. We especially enjoyed the lovely pool and screened back porch. The kitchen and pantry storage were wonderful. Thank you for a lovely stay and another memorable week in one of our favorite places!
