Recent Kiawah Island guest reviews

Home was very clean upon entry. Slight musty smell when we entered the home but it seemed to dissipate during our stay. Shower rod in front bath kept falling down. Needed better paper towels and some tissues would have been nice but other than that it was well equipped and suited our needs perfectly! Nice golf course view. Close to beach and dining.

The coziness of the place.

Gem of a property and amazing hospitality and responsiveness from hosts. I would not hesitate to return.
