Please note: Beginning in early December, the building will undergo deck renovations. While the exact scope and timing of activity may vary, some disruption is possible. Current rates have been adjusted to reflect this work.

This Kiawah Island oceanfront vacation rental is a second-floor corner Windswept Villa that offers two bedrooms with two full adjacent bathrooms and gorgeous ocean views.

The villa is the perfect getaway for couples or families who want to stay right at the beach! The renovated villa features tile floors in the kitchen and baths with granite countertops throughout. The remodeled kitchen and baths are complemented by hardwood floors, wainscot walls throughout the living, dining, and entry hall areas, with bright colors and modern furnishings. The living room features new comfortable seating, wall-mounted flat-screen TV with DVD player, wet bar, and work area overlooking the ocean. The ocean view corner deck, one of the largest in the complex, is accessible from the living area and offers a dining table for 4. The fully equipped kitchen has an elevated counter with two bar stools connecting to the dining room, which makes for easy meal preparation and entertaining.

The primary suite features gorgeous ocean views, a king bed, flat-screen TV, a reading chair, and a private bathroom with shower and a walk-in closet. The second bedroom offers a twin over king bunk bed, wall-mounted flat-screen TV, and private entrance to the hall bathroom with shower/tub combination.

The villa is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless Internet.

The front exterior entrance of this villa building has a short flight of stairs, with a recently installed ADA-compliant ramp up to the first floor, with access to an elevator or use of adjacent stairs. Continuing isolated capital improvements occur to the property during the off-peak season.

Guest reservations of 3 to 21 nights come with a valuable credit to use towards beach gear rentals during your stay! The credit amount for this property is $250. You may use your credit for bicycles, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and more – the choice is yours!

During your stay on Kiawah Island, be sure to enjoy biking on the 30 miles of flat bike trails, golfing on one of five world-class courses, playing tennis, crabbing, fishing, swimming, and boating. Many families also enjoy the multiple amenities at Night Heron Park, adjacent to the Windswept complex, which includes a new restaurant and general store, a large playground, and a kids’ camp as well as various nature and entertainment activities.

Kiawah Island is about 40 minutes from historic Charleston, famous for incredible shopping, galleries, antique stores, museums, the South Carolina Aquarium, horse-drawn carriage rides, historic landmarks, and sumptuous dining.

Perfect, great property, great smooth management.
All went according to plan, our expectation were met. Cleanliness very good, just the patio was not swept and dusted. The toilet handle in the second bathroom was a bit wiggly and the DVD player was out of order in main TV. Other than these items, all rest perfect, great property, great smooth management.

We loved staying at Windswept. It is so relaxed, quiet and peaceful, beaches are never crowded. The ocean view from this unit is beautiful and beach access is so convenient. We also love the proximity to Night Heron Park. The property is very well maintained. It’s the perfect vacation! Akers Ellis is a very responsive host. Thank you for a great stay!

 We love renting from Akers Ellis. It is easy, convenient and everyone is so nice! We even shared with a few people on the beach about Akers Ellis. They were unhappy with their rental company so we told them to rent from you next year. We are already looking forward to our stay next year!!

First time at Kiawah, Wonderful trip
Great location. Quiet property. Loved the deck with the beautiful view. We ate breakfast every morning outside even though it was chilly. Comfortable unit. Desk in the living room was very nice with beach view. Very impressed with the service from the property manager and beach gear partner. Organized, efficient and good communication. Would stay here again on our next visit.

Beach Front Escape
The location of his beachfront condo was perfect. It’s on the second floor and looks down through a forest of oaks to the ocean. The boardwalk and sand or just a few minutes walk.The beach at this point is extremely wide lots of room to play with children.

Great location and views of the beach. Difficult access to units
Very nice unit with really nice amenities. Kitchen was really nice with lots of cooking tools. The views of the ocean/beach from the main bedroom, the desk area and of course the porch were great. Great space to lounge around. Nice sized bathrooms.
Just a few things needed, coffee pot had a crack, need newer pans (warped), wicker furniture needs to be replaced (broken seating), box of tissues?, The villas really needs a ramp to the first floor. We saw a family carrying a person on a wheelchair just to get to the elevator. This is a deal breaker as there is no handicap access to any of the units.

Great villa!
Had a lovely stay in this villa. Nicely furnished, comfortable beds, lovely view of the ocean, and a cool ocean breeze. Great location and simple walk to the Sanctuary Hotel for some great dining options. Super easy walk to the beach. Also, we had a minor problem with the toilet flusher in the bathroom and maintenance arrived and fixed it within 2 hours of my call to Akers Eilis. Great service!

First Time at Kiawah Island
This was a beautiful place to unwind. Loved being surrounded by trees and wildlife and being close to the beach. The only thing I would change is a ramp was needed at the front entrance. This property is not wheelchair friendly. However the trails around the perimeter is wheelchair accessible. Would like to go back and maybe find a unit with easier access and beachfront.

Wonderful stay and very relaxing.
Very close to the beach with nice covered porch area with nice view. The rental had everything we needed (washer, dryer, hair dryer, kitchen items, etc). Huge shower in master bathroom was a plus. We rented bikes which were great on the beach. The grounds are well maintained. We did not see an access ramp, so you will need to climb some stairs to get to the elevator or the actual condo.

Why we vacationed in Kiawah at Windswept.....
Coffee on the porch to the sight and sound of the ocean...this unit is bright, airy, spacious with many window views of the ocean and beach. Comfortable furniture throughout. Cocktails and antipasto on the porch before dinner...Beach right there where we walked each morning, people watched and read many books.
We were in a vacation state of mind from the time we arrived!!!

Fantastic Place to Stay
We've stayed with Akers before and have really enjoyed the cleanliness of the villa as well as close proximity to the ocean. Overall we had a great stay this time as well. The only thing that needed improvement would be the mattress in the master. It was extremely uncomfortable and very noisy. We had our 7 month old in a pack and play in our room and anytime we got in and out of bed the noise would wake him up. Other than that our stay was wonderful. Thank you!

Hi Robyn, Thank you for the review! We are happy to report that as of 5/16/18, there is a brand new mattress in the master bedroom.

This was our 25th vacation on Kiawah. We had rented big houses behind the 2nd gate from all the other agencies and through VRBO. This was our first experience with a condo for just my husband and me.
We liked the location and layout of the condo and it was clean. The kitchen was very well equipped. Since we ate out every night, we hardly used it.

Only critique is the patio floor needs power washing as it was very slippery.

Other than that the unit was extremely comfortable and well appointed in a fantastic location within the complex. We will be sure to recommend Akers rentals in the future."
