(5/5 stars) We have rented this house before and love it. Also enjoy working with the folks at AE. You guys are definitely a notch above others companies in your business! - Anonymous U Posted on 6/15/2026 ### Wonderful stay! (5/5 stars) Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. 542 Bufflehead Drive was immaculately clean, beautifully appointed, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and comfortable visit. We felt extremely well taken care of by Akers Ellis and would absolutely plan to rent this home again in the future. This was our first visit to Kiawah—we typically stay at Sea Island when we’re in the area—and we loved the easy access to the beach as well as coming home to the heated pool in the afternoons. It made the experience especially enjoyable. We truly appreciate Akers Ellis going above and beyond to make our stay so memorable. - Anonymous U Posted on 3/31/2026 ### Wonderful stay!

Posted on 3/22/2024 ### Kiawah is a magical place (5/5 stars) Kiawah is a magical place, and this stay fit the dream! Beautiful view of the 2nd hole at osprey point where you can heckle to your hearts content, or walk to your tee time. Will be back in the future! - Aaron Posted on 11/21/2023 ### Photos did not do it justice! (5/5 stars) Traveled for a 6-night vacation with seven adults and one infant. House was large, very comfortable, and extremely well-equipped - photos did not do it justice. Beds were comfortable, and we loved that each bedroom had a separate en-suite bathroom with plenty of closet space. Property was well located on the further end of Kiawah Island (close to the Ocean course), but surrounded by bike trails in a quiet neighborhood. Check-in/check-out process was extremely easy, and Akers-Ellis was extremely responsive to questions and requests. Enjoyed all of the restaurants and proximity to Fresh Fields, with lots of shopping, food, and a grocery store. We will be back! - Jessica Posted on 10/13/2023 ### Beautiful Modern Luxury (5/5 stars) We've stayed in at least 6 different properties on Kiawah over the years, and have enjoyed every one. 542 Bufflehead was our favorite by far. It's modern, new, clean, and offers a gorgeous view of the No. 2 hole on Osprey Point. The pool area is just the right size for outdoor gathering, and the small semi-private area off the first floor master bedroom is perfect for coffee (before the grandkids wake up). The kitchen is well outfitted with most of what you'll need to prepare meals, snacks or cocktails. The one concern we had before we arrived was the distance to the beach access - but we found that wasn't a concern at all. We rented bikes for everyone, and the access point was just a 5 to 10 minute ride away. We had room for everyone in our group: my wife and me, or two children and their spouses, and all three of our grandkids. The four bedrooms - each with their on attached bathroom - offered enough privacy for all. This is a great property, and we will stay here again if we're visiting Kiawah with our family. - Lew W. Posted on 8/10/2021 ### Perfection (5/5 stars) House was absolutely fantastic! Loved the kitchen, family room, beds and pool! - Charlene N. Posted on 6/29/2021 ### Nice newer home (5/5 stars) This newer home is well stocked and decorated very well. There are a few minor issues that need to be addressed but otherwise furnishings and amenities are great. Outside areas, pool, and ping pong table in basement provided much fun. The walk/bike ride to the beach was a bit long for the younger children in our group. - Anonymous Posted on 6/21/2021 ### Beautiful House (5/5 stars) We loved this gorgeous house and really enjoyed our stay! - Jackie L.
