5/5 stars

We were very happy with our choice. Nice renovation, love the tile floors! The apartment was clean , really nice shower and absolutely luxurious bath towels! It was too cold for sitting outside, frost on the boardwalk one morning! Location is great, made it to the beach every morning for sunrise while enjoying a cup of coffee. We rode our bikes some twenty miles every day, up the beach one way and back on beautiful tree covered bikeways, as well to Bohicket marina and Fairview Village for lunches and shopping. Bokicket is a good spot to watch the sunset from while having a drink and light supper.

We spotted this place on VRBO as a place to spend a relaxing few days at the beach between Charlotte NC and Atlanta GA weekends. It did not disappoint. The VRBO description was accurate and useful in comparing other options. It is an ideal accommodation for two adults. The interior was well appointed and had all the facilities for preparing meals and relaxing following outdoor activities. It is part of a peaceful villa community. While this villa is not situated on the beach, it is the next best thing. The rear screened-in porch backs up to a private wooded area. The front door is adjacent to a two minute path and boardwalk to the beach. We really enjoyed our time and would come back again if our travels take us to Kiawah Island. The broad compacted sand beach is beautiful and walkable or bike rideable for many miles. Beautiful luxury homes line much of it, set back from spaces of vegetation. No high rise buildings or hotels line it like many other resort areas. The whole setting is Southern luxury.

This condo is an amazing stay for my wife and I. We were able to walk to the beach so easily and also had access to the entire island. The descriptions don’t do this place justice. Everything was so beautiful and the screened in porch was such a relaxing place to spend some time while having morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. We recommend this location to anyone and are definitely coming back to stay. Kiawah Island is beautiful and this condo was the perfect home base. 5 stars all around.

We wanted to find a quiet and safe place amid pandemic where we finally could enjoy the summer. Luckily, we found one and it was this lovely Relax, Renew, Retreat Villa. It was everything we expected and even more. It’s really close to the beach and the beach is not crowded. It was easy to keep distance and there was no need to wear a mask other than when you need to go for grocery shopping. Don’t forget to rent a bike and enjoy watching dolphin strand feeding in Captain Sam’s Inlet.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Kiawah Island and staying at Relax, Renew, Retreat! The location, so close to the beach, made it ideal for a daily visit to walk, swim or watch the sunrise. We also loved being able to take our bikes and jump on the bike trail right outside of the condo. We rode for miles almost everyday!

Good location. Private and quiet in a resort community. The beach was a five minute walk. Lots of additional touches that I wasn't expecting including a welcome package. There were also beach toys, chairs, boogie board, etc. that I made use of during my stay. The screened in porch offered a relaxing escape during the thunderstorm that passed over. All instructions and directions were laid out perfectly. The only drawback, (which shouldn't be if you're looking to relax and escape) is the cable TV package that the house uses is pretty basic. So a few of the channels that were showing the MLB playoff games were not available, but it was easily solved by bringing a Roku device with me. Thanks for a great stay, and I'd certainly recommend this location for a single/couple get-away.

My wife and I stayed in this villa for a week for our honeymoon right after we got married. The place was great and we have zero complaints. The appliances are all modern and in good working order, and furniture is nice/clean. Probably could have some blankets for extra warmth in the house, but we had a great time staying here. Check in was really easy, and we would recommend this villa to anyone looking for a place in Kiawah. The location is great it is really close to the island entrance, and a really short walk to the beach. This villa made for a great honeymoon.

However thankful that I am that I was allowed a 2:00 check in, the owner had me work with his pre-scheduled HVAC serviceman from 3:30 - 4:11. I was told by him that he'd just come from a unit with the owner Steven who couldn't bother to come and oversee the call. After trying to help the HVAC guy locate the unit (interior/exterior), panel, and filters, he tried contacting owner who didn't respond. I gave the man my phone to attempt to reach him as well. This was beyond an annoyance, it was very uncomfortable. (Please read attached text exchanges between owner and me)The tv in the bedroom did not work and a connecting unit had a fire alarm chirping every two minutes. Finally...I'm being charged $235 for a cleaning fee and then directed to wash the dishes, strip the bed and wash the linens, and take out the trash. I waited through my stay here for the owner to contact me to offer a credit or some accommodations for my time and attention to his service call, but that never happened. I never given a bad rating before and I'm disappointed that I have to now.

We’re sorry that you feel like you had such a bad experience. You booked the condo at 10am on the same day as your arrival and requested an early check-in. We worked quickly to accommodate this request for you but explained at that time that we had the annual service visit scheduled for the A/C for that afternoon prior to 4pm. We welcomed you to check in early as long as you were ok with this A/C service visit. You said this was ok. I’m sorry you felt that this A/C service visit was an inconvenience. With hindsight, it probably would have been best to turn down your request for an early check in given this service call needed to be done. A/C technicians don’t always understand they are dealing with guests. I spoke with him and he he told me at 3:55pm that he was done and that it was all ok. So all in it was a quick service call completed before our normal check in time. While I did apologize for the inconvenience before, during and again after the visit I really had no idea that you felt so inconvenienced by this that you expected me to contact you and offer a credit. The cleaning fee is used by Airbnb as a catch all because Airbnb does not collect local taxes (which we have to charge and remit to the county and Town of Kiawah). There’s no other line item for us to apply these local taxes so Airbnb include it in the cleaning fee. They are working on resolving this.
