Reviewer Comments:
I was in Kiawah for a conference and this villa was perfect, right next door to the conference center and a short walk across the street from the beach. The amenities were great and beautifully decorated. The only addition I would request would be a full length mirror, if there was one, I couldn't find it.
Great location to beach! Easy 5 min walk or 2 minute bike ride. Use beach access #8 by the Sandcastle . It has a wash off station for sandy beach articles. Easily walkable.
Unit has a keurig and Mr coffee coffee pot. I asked about keurig and was not told it had one.
The floorboards were separating and caused us to cut our feet a bit. We taped them over with painters tape.
All of this was reported to property managers and was addressed with courtesy and concern.
Overall this unit is perfect for 2 people. We stayed 14 days and were very comfortable. The beach/bike equipment perk was awesome as well.

Perfect time!!!
The property was exactly what we needed for the weekend. Very comfortable for 2 adults and a child. When we arrived the water was not on, but a call 30 minutes later everything was resolved. Good experience!
