Private Pool, ping pong table, golf course view FRIDAY check in, close to beach

House had lots of space, beautiful kitchen and great pool.

We love the layout, location, and hospitality of this home and the agent/owners. The layout of the home is well suited to a family that likes to spend time together, and the location within Vanderhorst is optimal with ease of access via alley of Oaks to the ocean. The BEST thing about this home though is the agent, Susie. In working with Susie you feel like you have an advocate for you the renter, which makes a vacation truly one that allows you to focus on your family should anything go wrong. 5 Star Experience!

Unfortunately, air conditioning went out upon our arrival and could not be fixed until day 6 of our stay. Communication was good with the manager, just a problem to deal with no fault of anyone.

Our stay at 123 Turnberry was absolutely perfect. From the beginning, Susie was prompt with her delivery of contracts and other paperwork. We received our check-in instructions, door codes and parking passes well ahead of time and they all worked without issues. The home itself is very comfortable and functional. Other reviewers have stated that the home is a little outdated. While a couple of the rooms need some updating, the important parts of the house where we spent 90+% of our time were updated, comfortable and lovely. The kitchen was large and well equipped with almost everything we could have needed for cooking several meals for the family. The living room was large, open and a great place to relax at the end of the day. The living room TV worked for us though we could never figure out how to get the other TVs to work (not that we would have used them very much). The bedrooms were comfortable and clean, and the bathrooms all worked without issues. But the best part of the property for us was the pool and back deck area. The pool temperature was perfect and was the ideal distraction for our kids whenever they got restless and wanted something to do. The adults had room to mingle with the kids in the water, but the chaise lounges were a great place to relax and keep an eye on the kids while they swam. Other amenities that we thought were great were the BBQ grill on the back pool deck and the ice maker in the kitchen. Not mentioned in the property description is that there is a washer and dryer in the home that we used mostly to dry towels at the end of the day. As mentioned the basement ping pong table was fun too. It was difficult to determine how far we were from the beach, and Susie gave us a good estimate. I would HIGHLY recommend renting bikes to get to the beach as the walk is just under a mile each way and would take a while especially when hauling all of your gear. Our bike ride was flat and easy and took about 5 minutes. We also rented a towable bike trailer to haul chairs, umbrellas, coolers, etc. There is bike parking close to the beach. There is not really a place to park a vehicle close to the beach so bikes are by far the best option. We used Seaside Cycles and were happy with them. If I could offer suggestions for improvements, I would say that the living room A/V setup should be cleaned up and updated. Lots of messy equipment made it confusing to figure out. Bluetooth Speakers would be amazing.

Kiawah is a dream vacation spot and we were pleased to return to the island for a week vacation by staying at this property. From our initial inquiry through check-out, communication was incredibly easy and straight forward. The online images are representative of the property, with the first floor having a spacious kitchen with high end appliances that were great for cooking meals in (since many of the restaurants are still not opened or with limited take-out service). The open layout of the kitchen into the living room has amazing views from sunrise through sunset out the expansive back door / windows (fantastic photos with the scenic pool / waterfall). As for the pool, it has doors that open to it from the living room, master suite, and kitchen. The waterfall is on a timer, which for our toddler, provided a lot of excitement to watch for when it would turn on / off. Having a toddler, we definitely had some concerns about water safety. Each door to the pool area has a safety alarm for adults to bypass, which eased our concerns and we were able to fully relax. The pool is large enough for all four adults + child to be in the pool and not feel cramped at all. The first floor master suite was spacious with walk-in closet and large master bath and the office (which has a futon/couch/trundle type bed -- perfect for us to be on the same floor with our young child). The upstairs has two large bedrooms each with its own full bath. This was perfect for the rest of our family members as we each had our own space. The basement was a great informal hang-out spot during the peak heat/humidity times of the day. It was fun to run around in the basement (toddlers enjoy doing circles) and playing a quick game of ping pong. It was exactly like many other Kiawah basements -- nothing special, an expansive storage area turned into something functional, which was great for us. The home location was great, the bike trail (we rented bikes) is a straight shot to beach access trail #32 and an easy ride to many other attractions such as the multiple marsh towers. The beaches had few others and it was nice to have our own space. The evenings were serene and each night we were able to enjoy hanging out on the back deck / pool area and just listen to the great nature sounds found on Kiawah. We were surprised at the lack of bugs outside at night, so make sure you enjoy this wonderful aspect of the home as well as everything else -- Cannot wait to return!

We rented this home for our family of 6 (grandparents and 2 kids). This home has a great location just off Turtle Point Golf Club on Kiawah Island. It has wonderful views of the golf course and the pool and screened in porch are really the highlight of the house. My wife and I own a vacation rental property in CA so we know what it is like to be both owners and renters. While this home has a great location and pool option, the rest of the house really needs an update. The kitchen and one of the upstairs bathrooms were renovated and have nice features. However, all of the furniture, carpets, etc are not only dated, but pretty stained and dirty (especially the main family room). the home was built in 1991 and much of the original carpet and furniture are likely from the 90's or early 2000's. The owners really need to spend about $30-$50k on new furniture, carpets in the bedrooms and a good deep cleaning. One of the bedspreads was soiled (looked like dried blood). In our rental unit we replace all of the bedding every two years and have it professionally cleaned each season. If something is stained like that, then we remove it. Plain and simple. Is this house worth renting again? . . . Questionable, but the owners need to pay a little more attention to this property. If they do, it would be a really fantastic rental. Susie the property manager was very communicative and provided helpful information and a very smooth check-in process.

This house and the island of Kiawah are a dream. Fantastic location, private, quick bike ride to the beach. The house has everything you can think of and Susie was excellent in communicating whatever we needed. Highly recommend.

Our stay on Turnberry was a wonderful respite from the current world chaos. Quiet. Relaxing. Everything we needed. Plenty of space to gather and talk and play games or swim in the pool, and lots of places to get some quiet time. Bike rides to the beach were easy and frequent. Suzie took care of all of our needs and responded to requests quickly and professionally. Love my time on Kiawah.

We loved this home and all it offered. I thought the house was even better than the listing - great location, beautiful pool, easy bike ride to the beach. Kitchen is well-stocked and the house is really comfortable - nice new washer and dryer, smart tv with Netflix, etc. The master bedroom is downstairs and other bedrooms are upstairs allowing for lots of privacy for all. Susie was so helpful with bike rental companies, beach chair/umbrella rentals, grocery store info. We can’t wait to come back!

We loved staying on Turnberry Drive! The house is very spacious and the pool is wonderful with a view! Very convenient to get to the beach. Ping pong table is a great touch!
