The main living space is ideal for large families with comfortable seating, a mounted TV, and access to the back deck. The fully equipped kitchen features granite counters, vast cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, a wine cooler, and 4 barstools for seating around the island. The dining room has a table and chairs that seat 8 and is the perfect place for family meals while on vacation.

On the first floor there is a primary bedroom that features a king bed, TV, access to the pool area, and a private bathroom with walk-in shower, his and her sinks, and a large walk-in closet. Also downstairs, is a small room with twin over twin bunks and mounted TV that is right next door to the half bathroom. Upstairs, you will find the remaining 3 bedrooms, all with private bathrooms.

The home is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.

The dimensions of the pool are approximately 8.5' W x 15.5' L. The pool has a gas heater, so the pool may be heated in cooler months for an additional fee of $75 per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available. Contact us directly to add pool heating to your reservation.

PLEASE NOTE: The new owners have made significant upgrades to the home. Noteworthy highlights include: repainted entire house; new furniture, rugs, and decor throughout; new refrigerator, new bedroom furniture and bedding; new Weber grill; plus supplies and household items are replaced and modernized as needed.

Summer vacay

House was all that it was stated to be. Very roomy, plenty of beds, great kitchen, nice pool for what you would need it for. The home was great. We gave a four star only to the checkin process because of the fact we were not allowed main gate entry upon arrival. We did not have our pass (when they send the email about being sure to print pass and have it, they mean it) however the folks at the gate didn’t have our name so we couldn’t get in without it. Had to drive back about 6 or 7 miles or so to get it printed at the agency. After 1300 miles of driving, that was rough. Kiawah Island itself was a little different for us being from Texas. The resort feel of the island and amenities were nice, however the lock down feel of it, rules and passage requirements were what we were not accustomed to. However the ability to ride on bikes with kiddo trailers to heron park and other attractions was a great experience. Glad we went and happy that we chose this house.

September 2021 Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: How was not available until 3 hours after check-in; cleaning crew was short staffed so some corners were cut in cleaning process. Sheets were stained and some of the towels provided were spiked. House was well stocked; grill only partially worked but rental company did promptly come out to help address. Bedrooms and overall layout was nice and very functional. Pool was shaded and was very cold.

Extended Family Vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house worked well for our family vacation which included five children under four years old. The house was updated and we appreciated the ice machine, two refrigerators, and outdoor shower. It was closer to the beach than we had expected which was a nice surprise. As much as we liked the pool, we were concerned about it as we didn't know how to turn on the filter system and felt the water sat stagnant. The family got sick after the vacation and we wonder if it had to do with the lack of filtration or chlorine.

Wonderful Accommodations in need of some TLC

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at this property in 2020 and it was immaculate and newly renovated/refreshed. It was beautifully furnished and the kitchen was wonderfully appointed. It’s an easy walk or bike to the beach and the small pool was a boon during that pandemic summer. We were so happy, we booked again for the same property this year. A year can make a big difference. The house had not been well-cleaned upon check in; Akers Ellis responded immediately and had cleaners come out the next day to clean the bathrooms, kitchens, etc.. The bedspreads, pillow shams, household rugs, and dining room chairs could all use a good cleaning. The washing machine was so filthy that we actually had to clean it by hand before using it. A number of things weren’t working - busted gas line on the grill, rickety door on the ice maker....To their credit, Akers Ellis was incredibly responsive each time we called...and we called a lot. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and will continue our annual summer pilgrimage to Kiawah, however, we definitely won’t rent this house again.

Perfect Spot for Multi Family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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: The house was large and well furnished. We had three families staying the week, plenty of room for all the kids and adults. The two refrigerators was a huge bonus and the kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses and cookware. The pool was smaller than expected but was nice for a cool off. The kids loved the outdoor shower. The house was a 5 min bike ride to beach access 30 and 15min ride to night heron. Would rent again !

Noisy

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very unhappy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home was as described and fit our needs well. The construction next door began at 7am, was very close, noisy and smelled of gasoline fumes which didn't allow our use of the pool and outdoor areas on multiple days.

Wonderful Getaway

We had a great time, the house was spacious and clean and had most everything we needed. The only issue was the oven wasn't working properly and we couldn't get the grill to light even though there was a spark, but we called and while they weren't able to help on a Saturday night, they did call us back. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!

Wonderful Getaway

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: We had the best experience from start to finish. We has an issue with our heat and Akers Ellis and the heating and air people came out immediately and could not have been nicer and more willing to get the issue fixed in a hurry. Thank You for that. Bike rental credit was a great add on and bikes were in great condition and very comfortable. We would come back again and hopefully stay in the same house, if not the same house we would rent and recommend from Akers Ellis again!

More than words!

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: Three generations including 7 adults and 5 kids aged 7-14 enjoyed a lovely week in Aug 2020. While we’ve been vacationing at Kiawah together for some time, this was the first year staying in one house. We were accommodated beautifully, the kitchen was so well appointed, and the small pool was the hit if the week! The kitchen hadn’t been cleaned to our satisfaction at check-in so we made a quick call to Akers Ellis and they came within minutes to clean and sanitize the entire area. A quick walk or bike ride to the beach...you can’t go wrong with 174 Glen Abbey!

Happy with our choice

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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: Our group was 2 parents with 3 grown children, one girlfriend, one spouse. We have rented in other localities with this group of people before. This house was the best choice we'd ever made. Lots of room to stretch out, cooked all meals in (because of Covid) and the kitchen was well laid out and supplied with cooking utensils, glasses, dishes, serving dishes. Nice screened in eating , large dining room for 8 as part of kitchen, dining room, great room. 8 minute bike ride to beach, no problem. Highly recommend. Only downside was poor cleaning job on floors, kitchen counters. Bathrooms ok.
