Clean and Close to the Beach
My husband and I have family on Kiawah and wanted to visit with them. We really enjoyed your place. It was clean , and most of all very close to the beach for our daily walks. Kiawah is such a nice place to vacation as it is quiet and relaxing and we enjoyed spending time with family.

Mini Beach Vacay
Great location. The place was okay for a short trip. The refrigerator was missing a handle bar, which seemed crazy for a condo in Kiawah for what we spent. Bathroom and bedroom were okay.
No major problems, though.

First Visit to Charleston
This vacation rental was one of the best locations that I have ever stayed. The condo was clean and comfortable. All of the essentials were provided. I usually choose a location that has a pool and although one was not available here, I would definitely stay here again.

What a hidden gem of a rental. Property was well maintained and very clean. Kitchen and bath are out dated, but in good condition. Bed linens were high quality. Unit decor was simple and clean. Nice proximity to the beach.

Fantastic Family Vacation @ Kiawah Island
Kiawah Island and it's amenities are amazing. The location of the villa was good for us. Very quiet and short walk to beach. The bathroom and back patio need DEEP CLEAN. The sofa bed is very uncomfortable. But everything else was in good shape. Suggest bigger garbage can in kitchen and more TP in bathroom. We will come again and recommend. Response from Akers-Ellis was wonderful! They addressed our concerns perfectly.
Valerie R. from Daphne, AL - 7/23/2016
Thanks so much for your review! We will certainly speak to housekeeping about a more thorough clean of the bathrooms and patio. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to hosting your future Kiawah vacations! Dana Jiles Rental Manager 888.909.8110

Enjoyable time on Kiawah!
We really enjoyed our week in South Carolina, and particularly our time on Kiawah!

The condo was fine for us. The bathroom could use some updating.

We will definitely return to the area.

Best service in 20 years
Id rate the stay as near 5. I really liked the communication with your agency, the supplies (e.g., dishwashing detergent, etc), and the overall good condition of the accommodations. Weve been coming to Kiawah regularly for 20 years, and your service was among the best weve seen. Well contact you again.
