Let me start with the positives of this house ... location is perfect (short walk to the beach), the bedrooms & baths are comfortable, the kitchen is very well stocked, and we loved the 2 large dining table options! Overall the house has truly met the needs of my family. However, the Turtle Point golf course is undergoing major renovation, and this house is located on the 18th fairway. This was one of the deciding factors for us when we booked ... we were looking forward to enjoying the beautiful back porch and watching golfers. Instead, we have been subjected to being awakened at 7am by machinery and workers. They work until about 7pm and are so loud it is at times difficult to carry on a conversation when on the porch, and the noise wakes my 1 year old from his naps. In addition, the dust/dirt made the porches EXTREMELY dirty. Both screened in porches are our favorite places but they desperately need to be cleaned by the cleaning crew every time they come during the course construction. Unfortunately, our toddler gets so dirty crawling around on the porch that we have to do laundry often (luckily the washer and dryer were replaced during our stay - after the washer broke.) We did share this with Sweetgrass but they did not send anyone to clean, as of yet, during our stay.
Last, but not least, my greatest disappointment was that Sweetgrass rental properties did not take it upon themselves to disclose the golf course renovations to us before we arrived. Had they disclosed this, we would have gladly worked with them to find another rental property for our 2 weeks. We were all very much looking forward to the quiet Kiawah that we have grown accustomed to since we started coming here in 1990. Not disclosing this has left a very sour taste for all 7 adults.
I can only assume that after the golf course construction is complete in October 2016, that this place would be as lovely as we had truly imagined it would be. Until that time, I would not recommend this rental.
