The pool and grounds are stunning.
The house has such a fabulous layout. The kitchen was stocked with everything you would need to cook with. We had a chef in the house and he was very pleased. Anytime that I had any kind of question or issue. I had my answer within minutes. The pool and grounds are stunning.

Highly recommend this property.
Perfect house to get away! Nicely stocked kitchen, every appliance and dish you can think of. Beautiful decor and outdoor patio was stunning. Nestled among the tress, you don’t even know you have neighbors. Short walk to beach - which we did daily. Also rented bikes, which is a must on Kiawah. We had a couple issues with smoke alarm beeping and some bedding issues, but rental company was very responsive and addressed quickly. The only criticism we had was that the comforters on a couple beds were musty and stained on inside - i did advise rental company - so hopefully that gets resolved. But I would definitely rent here again. And highly recommend this property.

Amazing!

This house was amazing. We have small kids (1-3) and have never been able to relax like we could at this home. The pool and short walk to the beach made it a dream come true. We will be back for many more trips at this home.

Great family home, close to the beach with a great pool!
This is our second stay at 97 Jackstay- and we enjoyed it even more this visit. The home’s interior has been updated a bit and the beds are super comfy. Our family enjoys the cute bunk room for the kids, the extra large pool with hot tub and that it is a quick walk to the beach. We also enjoy the peace and tranquillity of being in the Vanderhost portion of Kiawah. We have rented from Akers Ellis a dozen times and have always been impressed with their service and professionalism.

Family vacation 2020
House and location were great minus a few bumps, like the front door lock didn’t work, numerous light bulbs were out, black mold in upstairs bathroom and the freezer was dirty. These things did not stop us from enjoying the house and area! Super close to beach, great pool! Management came quickly to fix door lock. Wish the weather had been a little better but that’s summer in the south! We all loved the screen porch and swing too!

Awesome Week on Kiawah Island
Our 27th multi generation Family Vacation was a great success. The house is beautiful, well appointed, great place for a large family to be together. Dining room was awesome, as the table was large enough for our party of 11. The pool provided lots of fun, large enough for everyone, without being crowded. Also just a short walk to the beach. There was a real quality grill on the deck, we make good use of. Lots of seating on the deck also, along with a very nice screened porch. The Management Company Responded quickly with our questions.
All was good. Would definitely stay here again.
