Turtle Point 4926 - Kiawah Island, SC

Condo has not aged well. Paint, wallpaper, woodwork all well past their due date. Baseboard actually separated from the walls in lots of places, especially upstairs bath. Upholstered furniture dirty and worn. Nearly every surface had built up dirt and grime from months of hands and fingers. Kitchen missing a few basic items. The best thing I can say about it is it has a nice deck and was probably a nice place at one time. For the price of a week at a place like Kiawah I expect better. Won't be staying here again.

We originally booked this villa with intent of sharing with other family members, but due to concerns about COVID, there were only the two of us staying there. Although more room than we needed, we greatly appreciated the extra space when we had family members over to visit and share meals. We especially liked the large deck area with tables and chairs as we were able to eat dinners outside on the deck during the mild weather we had in January, able to comfortably socialize. We also liked the extra sunroom adjacent to the dining room, separated by large sliding glass doors. This allowed us to use this space by visiting family members as a personal space for social distancing when they didn't want to wear masks while hanging out with us. We even considered using this as an isolated extension of the dining room for meals if the weather had been colder.
The villa was very nicely furnished and the kitchen was well equipped, which we especially appreciated as we cooked in every night. The location of the villa was very convenient. A short walk to the beach and easy access to bike paths. We enjoyed being on the lagoon with views of the golf course with an abundance of wild life (herons, egrets, cormorants, ducks, alligators). There were only a couple of negatives. There was an odor circulated through the AC system that was annoying (possibly mildew or even cigarette smoke?). It seemed to dissipate during our stay or maybe we just got used to it. The TV was unable to connect to the wireless internet to access Netflix for movies and there was no DVD player, so we were just stuck watching movies on commercial TV. Didn't watch much TV, so not a big problem, but yet annoying.

Very good company

Kiawah Island!! The villa had a great view and location

The island and the view were wonderful. The villa needs updates.

The villa was clean, well stocked, and comfortable
