The Turtle Nest!

Location, Location, Location! We had a great week at this cottage! Lots of sun and fun! We Love Kiawah and spend a week every year here. Will consider this location again. Such a short walk to the beach and the bike trails! The cleaning crew needs to attend to the very high ceilings. Palmetto Bugs, we saw 1. Well that is to be expected.

Convenient for Kiawah Marathon weekend

Previous reviews were fairly accurate - the place was a little tired and could use some updates and general maintenance, as well as more attention to detail for guests checking in. There was food garbage left from previous guests - the inside temp was 54 degrees and took the entire first evening to warm up. Clearly no one had been there but we never got a text that we could check in prior to 4 pm. It was convenient for a spot to stay during a very busy marathon weekend with few other options to book on the island or I would have looked elsewhere based on reviews…

Great location!

This was a lovely cottage for our girls weekend. Clean, comfortable. Biggest selling point is that it’s a 1 min walk from one of the best parts of the beach in Kiawah. It would have been nice to have beach towels provided, but the posting was upfront about that so we brought our own. (Only complaint is that we saw 2 cockroaches, but these things happen…)

Great Location But Dated Property

Location was great but the property was shabby. Dated furniture, and decorations. Sliding door was impossible to open. Deck was rough. Refrigerator door required two people to pull it open. Air conditioner was out for two days during heat wave. Handheld shower broken off in main shower. No mattress pad on main bed. But it is very convenient to beach and Kiawah is amazing. Just don't spend too much time in the house.

Great location. Great house layout.

We live love this neighborhood but will look for a better maintained house next time. Master bathroom very dark. Outlets so loose they will not hold a charger or appliance. Air vents very dirty. Placemats filthy and some plates had dried food on them. Mismatched cooking utensils and pots and pans. Pretty old and stained.

Super close to the beach. Comfy and cozy!

We’ve stayed here three times and love it. Very comfortable. Kitchen supplies seem to dwindle each time we stay there but we bring our own just in case. 3 min walk to the beach

Fabulous location, great home that needs some TLC.

First, the good: The location is incredible. It's off the end of Eugenia with no through traffic, so it's a great spot for kids to ride bikes in the street without many cars. Beach access is also right at the end of Eugenia, so it's literally a minute from the home to the sand. The house has a nice layout with an open kitchen/dining/living area and a huge patio. Also loved the proximity to Night Heron Park and The Sanctuary. Living room furniture is comfortable, bed and bathroom linens were fresh and soft. That said... the unit needs some TLC. The sliding door to the patio was off track, most of the blinds do not function properly, one of the toilets did not flush without jiggling a part in the tank, dryer was missing the filter and took a LONG time to dry clothes, many outlets wouldn't hold a plug, there was one serving/cooking spoon in the kitchen, bathroom fan didn't work, etc. The beds were not particularly comfortable, and it would be great if another bedroom had a queen rather than two guest rooms with two twin beds. The master bedroom had an older TV that only appeared to have regular cable. We'll definitely stay on this street again, but until some updates are made to this particular home, we'll probably seek out a different one.

Comfy and great location

This house had the best location at Kiawah. About a 5 minute walk to the beach. Close to Fresh Fields. Next to bike path. Close to Night Heron Park. Drive or bike. Clean bedrooms. Nice living room area. Nice deck with chairs to sit out. Low to zero thru traffic since it is off Eugenia (at the end). A little bit of everything available at kitchen. Plenty of games, books, puzzles and movies. Smart tvs. Good wifi. Vacasa is available with any questions you may have. Very prompt. Would definitely use again with our family of 5.

Cozy house very close to the beach!

We love this house and try to book it whenever we go to Kiawah now. It's so close to the beach and has the space we need for our teens and young adult kids to join us. It needs a little TLC (missing a shower door, sliding door to deck needs to be replaced...) but we make many memories here and hope to do so for years to come!

Nice location, but needs some TLC!!!

We have stayed in Kiawah 4 times in the last 2 years and by far this is best location to the beach access we have had. Our only issue with the unit is that is really needs some updating. There were several light fixtures that did not work even if you changed out the light bulbs. The master bath shower is missing a glass door so there is a make-shift shower rod and curtain hanging in the shower that kept falling down. Again, I would stay in this unit again if it was provided some TLC solely on the location. But I will probably look for some other units in the same area before choosing this one.

Retreat

The house was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet. The best part was the 5 minute walk to the beach. We went for a walk on the beach every day. This was a pleasant residence for a retreat.

Close to the beach is this house’s biggest asset. The amenities are not as good as other homes in the area, but you can’t beat the proximity to the beach!
