Great house; outstanding location

Our family of 8 including three generations enjoyed this beautiful house with southern charm of big porches, front / back, enjoyed the swing. The pool was perfect for our kids which enjoyed for hours. Being this close to the beach made for convenient back / forth. Thanks again!

Great Family Vacation!!!

We have stayed at a number of homes on Kiawah. This was our favorite. The home was well appointed and had everything you could ask for. The pool area was large and allowed everyone to interact in or out of the pool. Excellent location for our 10 person family vacation!!!!

Thanksgiving 2023, 43 Surfsong

A beautiful property, great for large families! Many stairs, but there is an elevator, thank god! This is an older property, and shows some ware! It has many amenities, dishes, pots, pans , games, kitchen utensils etc, and plenty of seating for dining! There were some issues, nice tv’s but very technical to operate, we had to have the property manager come in to help us get the big flat screen in the great room working! Many light switches, but most were labeled, thank god, they will drive you crazy! The lights in the garage did not work, at all, at least couldn’t figure out how to make them work, a real safety issue because it is very dark in the garage when doors are closed. But overall very nice property, and wonderful family house, and easy access to the beach!

Beautiful luxurious home that offered lots of room to both comfortably relax and socialize with three generations of extended family members! Property management quickly attended to our confusion in accessing all televisions for video streaming (having confronted a nightmare of redundant remote controls). Overall, the magnificent home provided the perfect backdrop for our beautiful family beach vacation. Fred V.

fabulous stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 6 girlfriends rented this beautiful home for 5 nights. It was perfect for us. The house was very well appointed and very clean with plenty of space. We were a short boardwalk stroll to the most beautiful quiet beach. The bike trails were flat and so scenic. We enjoyed fresh seafood every night. The only negative was we had hoped the pool would be heated and it wasn't but our gracious property managers compensated us for the inconvenience. we hope to be back soon!

The home is spacious with great outdoor areas and a semi private boardwalk. We have family from very young to almost 90 and everyone enjoys this property. We have vacationed on Kiawah for 35 years and never really had a disappointing house, but this one is our favorite!

Our kids have fond memories of Kiawah vacations when they were young and wanted to continue the tradition. This lovely home provided the perfect place to do that. It was beautiful, comfortable, clean and accommodated our needs down to the hanging swing chairs that provided our daughter a wonderful spot to feed the baby. Perfect house, perfect location. None of us wanted to leave and that says it all.

BEST family vacation E V E R !!!!!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First week in June took our kids, their spouses and our grandkids to 43 Surfsong and we all had an incredible time. The house was perfect, the pool was perfect, the proximity to the stores, ocean, Charlestown, etc... tea perfect too. We've been doing this (big family vacation) every two years, for a while now, and this place is the first one we've considered as a repeat location. We were blessed with GREAT weather (out of the 7 days we were there, only 1 day with any rain-unreal) able to watch , as a family, our Cleveland Cavaliers play and WIN the NBA Finals capping off a vacation THIS FAMILY WILL NEVER FORGET! We thank GOD for blessing our family as he has and keeping us all safe during the trip. I recommend ESPM Vacation Rentals wholeheartedly.

Family Reunion

This property is beautiful, great location, easy access to beach, nice pool. We loved all of the great porches (on all levels) with beautiful views and comfortable furniture. We had several maintenance issues early in our week but they were addressed as best as they could. Unfortunately the kitchen refrigerator ice maker and the other ice machine were both not functioning.. While the kitchen was well equipped, it lacked any pantry space and common items like cookie sheets. There was plenty of space to visit and hangout. We had a wonderful week. Thank you
