The house was great, well appointed, clean and beautiful. It was great to have the ability to heat the pool.

We had a super relaxing time there. The furnishings were stylish. Could have done with more sun loungers as we were 4 adults and there were only two beds for us.

(5/5 stars) The property was in great shape. We truly enjoyed our stay. The house was well equipped with items that I did not expect. They provided shampoo and bath soaps and laundry and dish soaps. There was a good stock of trash bags and paper products too. We used the pool a lot and the depth of the pool did not exceed 6 foot which was great for younger kids. The appliances were a little tricky to use but once we figured them out, they were fine. There really are no complaints about this property. It was very accommodating for our group of 10. - Debra B. Posted on 6/18/2024 ### Perfect for Our Family (5/5 stars) We’ve stayed in many homes on the island over the last decade or so and found this one perfect for our family’s needs.

Posted on 9/12/2021 ### Beautiful house! (5/5 stars) This was an amazing, brand-new house at Kiawah and absolutely breathtaking! The pool and deck area were lovely, the upstairs master bathroom was gorgeous, and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed (except for a hot water kettle). It was a 12-minute, leisurely bike ride to the beach along the bike paths as well as public parking near beach access 40. The only possible negatives were the distance from the beach (although we liked the biking and didn't mind) and the driveway which required cars to back out onto the main road which could be busy at times. We would absolutely stay here again, though, as it was so comfortable and luxurious! Akers Ellis again provided a spotless property which made our stay so enjoyable. - Anonymous Posted on 8/25/2021 ### One Big Happy Family (5/5 stars) Coming from California and meeting family from North Carolina, Kiawah Island was the ideal location.
