This was a lovely home, spacious and beautifully decorated.
This was a lovely home, spacious and beautifully decorated. Great location, easy to get in and out and such a peaceful, quiet street. Just a few suggestions: the large bunk bed bedroom needs blinds and the kitchen could use a few more items such as platters, serving bowls, etc. Overall we had a wonderful stay and will be back!

Perfect for a family getaway.
Perfect for a family getaway. We were able to spread out and have a very comfortable stay. My boys loved the bunk room and my daughter was very happy with her room and en suite bathroom. We liked the location - close enough to everything but tucked away to have a place to retreat to at night. Finally, checkout could not have been easier. Akers Ellis did not require much of us which is always welcome. Would definitely return and recommend!!

Fantastic place

548 Oyster Rake is a fantastic place to base yourself on Kiawah. The house has everything you need. It’s easy to access the beach via bike or a walk. You’re very close to shopping and restaurants as well. Our group loved the house.

Beautiful Stay in Kiawah
This house was gorgeous. It was full of many amenities that were useful, (washer/dryer, kitchen appliances). The house was very spacious and had a great selection of rooms with different size beds. It was clean and both the arrival and departure instructions were very easy to follow, which allowed us to maximize our time in beautiful Kiawah!

Perfect pre-christmas get away!
We pre-gamed Christmas with friends and family. There were 7 of us and we never felt on tip of each other. The house was spacious, yet cozy. We would definitely come back to 548!

Great Kiawah Stay!
548 Oyster Rake Drive couldn’t have been much better. The house was recently renovated and it was done very tastefully in beach themes. This was one of the best equipped houses we have stayed in during our 20 years coming to Kiawah. A 5 - 7 min bike ride to the beach and the only downside is crossing a busy road which could be tricky with smaller children. Otherwise a quite location and easy in/out near the entrance to Kiawah so easy trip to Freshfields for shopping or dining. All in all a terrific experience!
