Quiet, Clean, Well stocked
This condo is spacious, especially the bedrooms. Balconies off each room, which were nice to sit on in the evenings. Very quiet. Master bedroom bed was super comfy. Loved the benefit of the boardwalk straight to the beach. Clean. Well stocked kitchen with every pot, pan, glass, utensil, appliance you may need. TYSM.

Perfect for celebrating
We enjoyed our stay in 2263 Shipwatch! The spacious unit, puzzles and games, and well-stocked kitchen were perfect for celebrating the holidays with family. We also enjoyed the beach gear credit and appreciate the clear, timely communications from Akers Ellis.

Exactly what we needed!

Exactly what we needed for a nice relaxing vacation. Loved the close location to the beach and even though we didn't have a beach view from our balconies, we did have wonderful views of the wildlife (deer) that roam the property too.

This was a beautiful and well-maintained property in a great location. We appreciated that many amenities including the beach chairs! It was great to not have to worry about renting those. It was a very relaxing vacation for us, and Kiawah is just as beautiful as I remembered.

FANTASTIC!!
My family was thrilled to stay at 2263 Shipwatch!! My parents owned this unit when it was first built in 1975. Fond memories growing up & visiting here. The owners have done a wonderful job keeping it up. Very welcoming & can tell the owners really take pride !! Love the thoughtful notes, toys, beach towels, beautifully stocked kitchen for cooking!
There was only one problem... someone put highly fragrant rug powder/crystals on the area rugs. It was extremely offensive. I had to leave for 24 hours so we could get odor under control. Other than that it , everything is very clean & uncluttered. A Huge thanks to the owners!!

Great location
Villa was very clean and wonderfully stocked kitchen. Thank goodness keurig and regular coffee maker! I would have preferred an upgraded mattress as the king was definitely on the cheaper side and made sleeping a little umm hard. But all in all a wonderful stay.

Wonderful!
Our family of four stayed in this delightful residence in late September. It was perfect! Kitchen well-stocked with an array of handy pots, pans, dishes, and appliances. Appreciated towels and beach chairs, as well as the clean, tidy comfort of the place. In all honesty, I was tempted by another place that I thought looked nicer, but changed to this place for convenience. I think I would have made a mistake in choosing the other one. It’s convenient, yes, but nicer than pictured or even imagined it to be. Wonderful rental experience all the way around. Akers-Ellis made it all smooth and easy.

Great property! Comfortable, accessible, and convenient. Good indoor and outdoor space, well-equipped kitchen, and spacious bedrooms, all with an abundance of natural light. We were married at the Gazebo at White Point Garden and honeymooned here... many wonderful memories!

Home away from home
Condo was very clean, well maintained, and only steps from the beach. My kids loved the air fryer and the milkshake maker, and the stand alone ice maker made more than enough ice to keep up with the demand! Property Management team was excellent, very responsive, and the entire experience with them was very easy. Beach gear credit was combined and covered our bikes for a week. Great location and layout! I would definitely stay here again!

A Home Away From Home
We really enjoyed our two week stay at 2263 Shipwatch and we would certainly consider returning in the future. The floor plan is very nice with an open, cozy living area and the bedrooms are each good sized with private baths within. The decor is super homey and very easy to keep up while getting some R&R. We were also amazed at how quiet the building actually is during the evening hours. It is a peaceful place! And the location steps from the beach can not be beat! This place is a great value!
