The condo’s proximity to the pool and beach was great. The owner is very responsive with questions and helpful. Kiawah Island manages the condo. The condo overall was pretty clean though the entryway and hallway walls are pretty scuffed up and don’t make a good first impression. The kitchen is stocked with some pots/pans, enough, but not many extras, no extra dish towels. The rooms and bathrooms were clean, beds comfortable. Some blinds were broken. The furniture has been updated since photos and is comfortable.
We were disappointed in the property for these reasons: 1) the fan/light above the dining table did not work. The maintenance person said there was no electricity delivered to the socket. (inconvenient in that is were we dined and played cards at night) 2} There is a rodent somewhere that came out at night and left droppings on the dining side of the counter and tore open a package of coffee We have pics if you need to see them 3} there are several wall sockets that are not functional. the plugs just fall out of them. 4} There was only one dishcloth and one dishrag in the kitchen. We are veteran travelers and these items were not acceptable, especially at Kaiwah Island and the price we paid. We have never given a review like this and really don't like to do so but feel it is necessary for future travelers not to have our experience. We had a wonderful time at the pool and beach and enjoyed the company of friends despite these issues.
The Kiawah Island resort is gorgeous. This unit is on the west end, which I believe is the oldest. So it’s a bit tired. Definitely needs a paint job and updating of decor. Nothing matches in the kitchen as far as plates, glasses and so one. None of these things are deal breakers though. The price is fantastic for being one that resort and having access to the amenities and world class golf.
Nice location And very responsive and reachable property owner. The cleaning was not as optimal and a coat of painting would benefit the property
Lovely stay overall. Nice space with a very nice covered outdoor sitting area overlooking the lagoon. The little alligators were fun to watch. Easy access to KI resort amenities and Freshfields shopping area.
Overall great place to stay
Very happy with everything
My only complaint is that VRBO never sent check in instructions. I had to reach out to the owner and he promptly responded which was great. The villa is clean and comfortable but it is a bit “ tired” and could use some updating. All in all, we had a nice time and enjoyed our short vacation on Kiawah.
Great weeks stay at Kiawah. Location was very good for beach and park activities via bikes. We liked the first floor unit overlooking the lagoon. Very clean and comfortable. Access to Kiawah facilities and the 15% discount is a plus.
We had a great time and were very happy with the villa. It was clean and in a good location. We will definitely return!
Really enjoyed Kiawah Island. Great location. Everything is so close. I love that you can bike all around the island. I look forward to returning.
No way to contact host/ property mgr when we did not receive checkin information night before arrival. Had to enlist help from VRBO and they did not have phone number or working email address for host. If the resort was at fault, we should have been notified ahead of time to deal with the resort directly. Added stress that was totally unnecessary.
Although the owners did respond to my concerns, and did refund me some money, it was not a place I would stay again. We have been coming to Kiawah for over 15 years. This is the first villa property we have stayed at. By this I mean it is owned by the couple, but maintained by Kiawah resort. In my view the owners are responsible for looking in on the property to make sure that it is being maintained to the standard that they are renting it at. There were light fixtures that did not work, plugs and switches installed upside down, exposed sharp screws in the “kids” bathroom. Only the master bedroom’s bathroom has been updated. The other had peeling paint, marks on the walls, handles missing. When we arrived we found the floor to be sticky and crumbs, even a pacifier under the sofas, which were essentially outdoor furniture and uncomfortable for any movie watching. I left a list with Kiawah resort, so hopefully all these things will be remedied before the next people arrive. But the owners definitely need to inspect it. We were allowed full resort privileges which is nice. The pool closest to the villa did shut down on the 8th, so that didn’t work out as planned. Kiawah is a wonderful place to be. The beach is beautiful, Charleston is nearby. And the wildlife is wonderful to see.
This was a within walking distance to the pool and ocean. The small porch was very nice to sit on and relax and look for gators - we saw quite a few. It was not screened in so bring your bug spray. The property itself was plenty large enough for my family of four. The property manager was very quick to respond to questions. I gave this property a four because it was quite dated and could use a good deep clean. The couch cushions looked ancient as did most of the furniture. I don’t really need modern decor, but given the age of the throw pillows and seat cushions, I fear they were as dirty as they were old. The bathroom sink was in need of repair.
We enjoyed staying in this unit, but were not fully satisfied. It was obvious that the kitchen and baths were updated, but the unit was not well maintained. There were stains on the walls of the main bathroom, the kitchen faucet was totally loose in the countertop, the carpet looked worn, the wall outlets were old and loose so that phone chargers would not stay plugged in. The kitchen was not well equipped. Most of the pots and pans were old and in poor condition, for example old Teflon pots with the coating peeling. Almost every plate, glass, pot and pan we used had to be washed first because they were dirty/greasy. Unlike most other rentals, there were no basic kitchen essentials such as salt/pepper, aluminum foil etc. There was only one dish towel. The unit had no games or books. A little TLC and restocking the kitchen would have made it a winner. It just isn’t there yet.
