Akers Ellis was wonderful!
Akers Ellis was wonderful! So easy to work with, with prompt communication and the ability to get the gate pass ahead of time was a huge time saver. We look forward to renting with them again in the future!

Great Condo w/ Easy Beach Access

We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. Kiawah is a wonderful island and this condo gave us access to all it has to offer.

Great location
This was our 2nd stay at 4550 Parkside, both times for a month. It is a clean, well-furnished condo. We enjoyed the comfortable furniture on the screened-in porch. The only negative in the kitchen is the condition of the non-stick pans. Other pans are good. The location is very convenient to the beach, the nature center.

Wonderful Getaway
This was a great spot for a getaway! The unit is beautifully decorated and located near the bike path. The soccer field (with Night Heron Park just beyond the field) is about 30 steps behind the property. The beach is a 6-7 minute walk away or about a 2 minute bike ride. We would definitely stay here again! It was cozy and inviting, and Akers Ellis is great to work with!

Another great trip to Kiawah
Different combinations of our family have been coming to Kiawah for 35+ years. This year it was just my wife and me. 4550 Parkside turned out to be a perfect unit for us. Its pluses are fresh and cheery decor; well equipped; comfortable bed; and great location with easy beach access. The rental process with Akers Ellis could not have been smoother.

Enjoyable Stay
4550 Parkside is comfortable, clean and nicely updated. King bed was very comfortable, as was the livingroom furniture. In the kitchen, the teflon skillets and teflon utensils had flaking issues, but there were a couple stainless pans that were nice. Overall, good.

This condo is very nice, clean and comfortable. The location was fantastic and only a short bike ride to the beach with basically a straight path through condos to get there. The beds were very comfortable and we really enjoyed having the screened in porch and an outside deck.

The property was as described and that's always a good thing. The space was clean and available on the time listed. Surprisingly, it had several beach chairs and ample starter supplies.

Nice job.

4550 Parkside Villa
Very nice remodeled villa, perfect for family fun with great beach access. The nature lover will not be disappointed, my 3year old daughter loved seeing the deer so close to the beach in this nature paradise. Highly recommend to anyone looking for best of both worlds, the beach and nature!

Peacefull Getaway
We stayed in this villa for a much needed Spring vacation. It was important to me that the villa be comfortable and fun. When you opened the doors the Villa was bright and very open, loved the tall ceilings that a 2nd floor unit brings. It had a king size bed with an awesome mattress, a very well stocked kitchen with many sizes of pans, utensils and serving ware. The furniture was comfortable and in excellent condition. The upper deck was a great place to watch our children utilize the open field directly behind the Villa. The walk to the beach was a easy 5 minutes, the Village market was also a easy walk. We look forward to a return and would stay here again. Highly recommend!
