We absolutely loved our stay in this Turtle Cove villa.
We absolutely loved our stay in this Turtle Cove villa. We were impressed by the cleanliness and finishes inside the condo. The patio was so peaceful and we enjoyed observing the wildlife in the morning over coffee. It really is a quick 5 minute bike ride to the beach. Overall, this condo is serene and quite. We will definitely be back!

We absolutely loved our stay! The bathroom, especially the shower, was such a treat—especially after a full day of hiking and biking. We also really enjoyed relaxing on the back patio. The whole place was incredibly comfortable and truly one of the highlights of our trip.

Thank you for sharing your place with us!
Beautiful 1-bedroom apartment, easy 10 min walk to the beach through beautiful tropical Kiawah bridges, walkways and streets. Looks like place was freshly remodeled - everything is spotless. Bathroom feels luxurious. Bed is super comfy. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

We loved our stay! The condo was beautifully decorated and very clean. We enjoyed morning coffee on the patio watching the alligators float across the pond. Easy beach access just down the street with a quick bike ride. We have everything we need for an enjoyable stay. I highly recommend it.

Highly Recommend

The property was very clean with updated kitchen appliances and everything thing you’d need to be able to prepare meals. While there is no grilling allowed, the convection stovetop worked great for us. Akers Ellis was incredibly responsive to anything we needed and we had a great visit. The only thing I would add is that you really do need to pack in everything you need for the kitchen and bathrooms. Often rental properties have some basics in the kitchen but not the case here which is fine! Would highly recommend this condo and Akers Ellis in general.

Fantastic Stay
Ranks as one of our favorite rentals to date, and we've used Akers Ellis for 12+ years. Perfect location and top-of-the-line upgrades. It is obvious the owners were very thoughtful in their choices. Will stay here again in a heartbeat

Beautiful Unit with a Great View
This was a beautiful unit. In my experience, it is rare that the unit looks as good as the pictures, but in this case, the pictures do not do it justice. Everything was perfect. It must have very recently been renovated. The porch was wonderful with a lovely view of the pond.

Very clean

Very clean. Seemed newly redone with everything updated. Close enough to the beach but small for just the two of us. Get bikes, credit from Akers, and get around easily.

loved the villa

We absolutely loved the villa that we stayed in, it was beautiful and had everything we needed. It was a quick walk to the beach and we loved every minute of it. Communication through text from Akers Ellis gave us all the information and reminders we needed. Thank you for an awesome birthday weekend, we will definitely be back!

We love Kiawah Island❤️

We have been coming to Kiawah Island over the last 12 years and this was one of the best one bedroom rentals we have rented for vacation. It was well stocked and thought out especially the kitchen and bathroom. We would definitely rent through Akers Ellis rentals again. You made the whole process very easy. We love Kiawah Island❤️

We visited Kiawah for a long weekend! Condo was gorgeous and comfy. We loved the top floor view of the marsh from the kitchen and porch. It was a short walk to Turtle beach which made the trip even better!!
