A Few Days to Relax

We found Kiawah Island to be a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the ocean and nature. Celebrated our 5th Anniversary with dinner at the Ocean Room at the Sanctuary. Dinner and service were superb.This condo is old, but well care appointed and an easy walk to the beach. Also located near the Sancturary, mid-island.

Perfect Getaway

The unit was clean, comfy and well equipped. A short walk (5-10 minutes) from the beach and an easy walk to dining options and parks. The porch was a lovely quiet spot to relax with a book and listen to the wildlife.

Great property and location! My only complaint is the master bed is broken on the left side. I didn’t investigate why… Husband fishes in the lagoon behind the condo and caught several. Lots of alligator activity as well! Thank you for a greasy stay!

Great location and comfortable home for our family!

We love Kiawah Island and have vacationed here for 35 years and always leave wishing we could stay longer! This rental was only a 5 min walk to the beach and had a lovely screened in porch overlooking the pond. The master bed and one of the twin beds were comfortable but the twin bed by the closet needs replaced. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

Great back porch

Loved watching the alligators and egrets on the peaceful screened porch. Having a place to bring our dog was important, and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils. After staying at both East and West beach rentals, we realize we prefer the convenience of Freshfields, so this location is a bit far for us. I would recommend changing the carpet to solid surface flooring.

Close to Turtle Point Golf Course

We have been coming to Kiawah for many years. This is our first time renting a villa in Turtle Cove. It’s close to the golf course . It’s kind of a hike (5 minutes walk) to the beach . The condo is as pictured on line. It’s clean but could use a little update. The beds were very soft ( we like a harder mattress. Personal preference) . When we arrived we discovered that there weren’t any hangars. Vacasa came quickly with some. The check in and check out process was very easy. We love coming to Kiawah and plan to return in the Fall. Probably renting something with an ocean view.

Very much in need of rehabbing!

The pictures make the villa look bright and cheery. It is not. It is run down and old and not worth the money. We chose this property because it allowed pets, so I knew it might not be luxurious, but truly it is sad and run down. The owners should be embarrassed to rent this place. I am sure they would never themselves stay at a place in this condition. It smells. The carpet is stained. The closets are broken. The door knobs are loose. The light bulbs were burnt out. The curtains are torn. The shower curtain is stained. The furniture, including all of the beds, is worse than anything you would find at a garage sale. It is stained and sunken-in. The mattresses in the extra room are joke. They are so old that the springs make so much noise nobody could ever actually sleep on them. Maybe the saddest feature are the barren walls. When wall hangings have broken, they have not even attempted to replace them. In at least a dozen places all that remains in the walls are the nails and hooks sticking out of the wall where apparently there had once been some type of decor. During our stay, we returned to the villa to find a small picture had fallen off the wall. When we examined it more closely, the frame had previously broken and had been mended with Scotch tape. Pitiful! For our entire month-long stay, there was construction in one of the villas in our building. Even though it was an inconvenience for us, (they turned off our water and a building inspector walked into our villa unannounced), at least it did show some owners take pride in their property and are attempting to make improvements. Truly, I don’t know how the owners of this villa can in good conscience continue to rent out this property.
