Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely home, though the beach was further away than we thought, which wasn't ideal. Traffic getting on/off the island was also kind of stressful and unexpected. But the house itself was great, pool was excellent, beautiful kitchen with all the amenities, a nice grill, comfortable deck furniture and great birdwatching. Master bathroom bathtub and shower were both incredible. A nice bonus was finding bicycles and helmets in the garage, as well as assorted beach gear.

Summary: We visit Kiawah every year and always try to stay in Indigo Point (which is where this home is located). Proximity to sanctuary, beaches, parks is ideal with a short bike ride. Home was as advertised, and we would love to stay here again!

Summary: This is a beautiful home with a great pool. However the gutters should be cleaned as the pine needles were overflowing into the pool. We could also tell pets live in the home as it could have been a little cleaner. Also disclosing that Information, specifically that cats have been in the house, would be helpful to those who have allergies.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful experience,great location. The dehumidifier in A/C did not work unless temp set at 70-72 degrees. The upholstery stayed damp feeling throughout our stay and even the cereal boxes became damp. Also,there were dust bunnies in several rooms and red ants in the sessil rug in the den.

Summary: We rented the 2013 HGTV Dream Home and it did not disappoint. We visited the house with two families consisting of 4 adults (two couples) and 4 kids. At first glance, I thought the house was going to be a tight fit, but it ended up being quite spacious. The entry hall was fabulous with its welcoming bench seating and access to the largest powder room I have ever seen. The main living area, dining room, and kitchen had plenty of room and we never felt like we were crowded. The living room pictures on the site show a TV-less room, but believe me there is a very large TV in the space. The views from the two story space were spectacular and the deck and pool were used heavily during our stay. The pool was in a great location, which allowed the water to remain a good temperature throughout the day. The basement level has bed swings and a ping pong table which we were not able to use as much as we would have liked during our stay. The master bedroom was well appointed as well as the two ensuites upstairs which worked out for the 2 oldest girls and the other couple. The two youngest kids really enjoyed the bunk bed alcove area and viewed it as their special hangout. We stayed 7 days and would love to stay there again. 8 was a perfect number especially if half of them are kids.
