This home is a gem inside Kiawah Island!
This home is a gem inside Kiawah Island. Very convenient to the beach with Boardwalk 39 just across the street. The house is well cared for and has all the things you need for a great vacation. We loved the pool and hot tub, the very spacious layout, the kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, spices, etc and there are beach toys and carts in the garage. Our multi generational family from 8 to 80 all had such a great time. Thank you!!

Loved this house!
Loved this house! We've been vacationing on Kiawah for many years and this was our favorite house. Proximity to the beach, pool/spa, layout of the bedrooms and most importantly - the ice machine!! Please pass our appreciation to the owners for a wonderful stay! We will be back!

Akers Ellis was terrific to work with.
Akers Ellis was terrific to work with. They are very responsive to questions via email…answering almost immediately. I had a lot of questions, and they always answered promptly and courteously. Highly recommended by our family of 10. We had a wonderful time and hope to return someday.

Loved this property!

We absolutely loved this property and our stay for Labor Day weekend! I plan to rent again next year - hopefully for 2 weeks. The pool and proximity to the beach are fantastic. There were a few cobwebs and some after-storm debris (totally understandable), but otherwise the property clean, well appointed, and very comfortable.

Everything was perfect!

Everything was perfect! The kitchen was equipped better than anyplace we’ve ever stayed. We brought things we didn’t need.

Our Favorite Yet!!

After renting a home at Kiawah for the past 8 years, we found this to be our favorite. Loved the pool, the screened in porch, the short walk to the beach and the well stocked kitchen. Look forward to returning in the future.

Great Vacation Home
161 Flyway was just a few minutes walk to the beautiful beach. We had a group of 10 adults, and this house was perfect. The kitchen was large and well stocked, there is even a garage refrigerator for beverages. Bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious and immaculately clean. Highly recommend!

This house is absolutely beautiful!
This house was absolutely perfect for our large family. There is plenty of room, the beds are comfortable, the linens are beautiful, the kitchen is perfectly equipped, the pool is just the right size, the beach access is just across the street, plus there are bikes to explore the island with. Top of the line names on everything in this house. Rental process was super smooth. We would recommend Kiawah Island and this house to anyone! Beautiful place!!

Return to Kiawah was a Success!
My wife and I decided to bring our grown children back to Kiawah Island for a vacation after a 15 year absence. This time the family trip included our adult children’s significant others. The home we rented through Akers Ellis was a perfect fit for our group of 8. The home was spectacular, beautifully decorated with 5 bedrooms all with their own bathrooms and a pool. We were a 5 minute walk to the beach so those that preferred the beach to the pool were delighted. Akers Ellis were extremely responsive to any questions we had concerning the house. On our first day we had a small problem with the home’s elevator (!!!) and within 20 minutes an Akers Ellis representative was at our door to fix the problem. We also had paid extra to heat our pool but decided on the trip down to cancel the pool heat because it had been so hot outside. When we called from the car the Akers Ellis representative canceled the pool heat and within minutes had credited our credit card for the correct amount. Overall it was a great return trip to Kiawah, we will be back, and we will certainly contact Akers Ellis to rent our next home.

Fantastic House!
Everything was great. The layout of the house is fantastic, all bathrooms are newly updated, everything is properly maintained, and the location to the beach and golf courses is convenient. Will definitely rent this house again!
