May 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Spacious, and pleasant Based on vacation home rental prices on Kiawah I feel that this house provides value. The house has plenty of space with the Master BR downstairs and 4 BR upstairs. The reason for the 4 Star rating is that the back porch/pool area overlooks the number 11 tee box on Osprey. As a golfer this sounded more like a pro than a con. However, after the first day of hearing all types of music playing from the carts, vulgarity, golfers urinating in the bushes and sometimes not even walking to the bushes, and each group socializing with you as you try to relax on the porch is the reason for the 4 stars rather than 5. The house, neighborhood, and proximity to the beach (short bike ride) are all 5 stars. ##### John W. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hannah C. Feb 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay, highly recommend This house was perfect for our weekend getaway trip of 10 people.

Loved the floor plan-- very open and spacious. The house was beautifully decorated. Plenty of seating areas for a big group. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and entertaining. We did not use the pool because of weather. We enjoyed the view of the golf course. If you have a good size family and are staying in Kiawah, this is your place. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Leslie M. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa O.
