Beautiful condo/beach stay! Will be coming back. All the gardens on island are immaculate. Spanish moss trees over hang the road as we drove onto island made it look like a Nicolas Sparks book. Condo was perfect size for just the 2 of us.

Excellent location

Really enjoyed our first time to Kiawah Island & the location of this rental was perfect for us. Beautiful view of the beach & beach access were most important to us. This hit the target on both counts. Comfortable bed & working AC were also critical with an August stay. The property is older & showing its age a bit but no complaints.

Covid-fatigue get-away!!!

I had a relaxing week on the beach. The balcony was perfect for unwinding, listening to the waves with a wonderful ocean view. I would definitely stay at 2269 again! Akers Ellis Rentals took care of all the details...all I had to do was show up.

Kiawah, ahhhhh.....

Perfect location!! Helpful rental staff. Quick response to a TV issue. Able to check in a bit early without problems. Clean villa. Kitchen needed a few more items, like a can opener. I was concerned with the lack of cell service. Phone land line was "searching for service". My cell carrier was spotty. Thankfully we didn't need to contact EMS. Shipwatch is such a great place to rent. Very safe, clean, inviting.

Great location on the dune and ocean

The property is near the entry to Kiawah, so it is easy to get to it. Walking the beach sand was so easy and close, the boardwalk was clean and seemed new. We always found parking in the Shipwatch parking lot.

Cute little hideaway for two

Beautiful ocean view condo with fully stocked kitchen, balcony off the bedroom and living room-right next to the beautiful Cougar’s Point golf course...we golfed one day. Biked the beach and trails. Easy to get around. Very secure - they definitely check parking passes when you come onto the island!

Very nice condo with pretty view of the ocean and all necessary cooking implements. We were on Kiawah to attend a wedding in February and regret that the weather was too cold to enjoy the deck. Great service from Akers Ellis.

Vacation experience

We were extremely pleased with our vacation experience on Kiawah Island. Akers Ellis really made booking our rental property seamless and the Hospitality app walked us through our check in, chair and bike rental and check out. We would highly recommend AE to anyone seeking a stress free vacation experience.p

Quick Escape to the coast

This was a quick last minutes escape from months of toil. For two the unit was fine. The bed had indentations where folks had slept and could be changed out but was ok. Location is close to beach and was quiet during our stay. Note: they are building a new clubhouse for Cougar golf course and construction makes it easy to miss parking lot for unit. Sign is easily missed especially in the dark.

The pre-delivered beach items by vay-k was very handy and in great shape. This time of year before school let’s out was great. Very calming and no crowds at all.
Just what we needed after months of work on several projects.

The entire process of booking, check-in, check- out was easy. The unit was as described and in as expected shape. Don’t get me wrong it was fine but some wear is beginning to show. Perhaps a new mattress and tightening up the bathroom faucets.

Great Stay

What a great trip to Kiawah! The Shipwatch rental was all we had hoped for and more. Quiet, clean, and a very short walk to the beach. If you are looking to relax and enjoy Kiawah this place was wonderful for me and my wife who are recent "empty nesters". I would highly recommend!

Very pleasant stay

This is our 4th Kiawah vacation but first condo rental. Beautiful views, well decorated condo just steps from the beach. Only minor issues but none earth shattering: no wine opener, bedroom balcony door would not open. Surprisingly quiet except for one night when the kids staying above us decided to stomp and run around their condo.

Manager's Response

Hi Beverly,
Thank you for your feedback! We did recently purchase a wine opener for this property. I will follow up with the property manager as to why it did not make it to the property during the turn over. Those check-in days can be a bit overwhelming, as you can imagine! We are hoping it did not cause too much inconvenience for you. We will also take a look at that cranky balcony door and get it fixed. Thanks for letting us know. We apologize that you experienced unwanted noise the one night. We are thrilled you loved the villa and had a great stay on Kiawah!

Enjoyed our Shipwatch stay, great beach access!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much. It was just as advertised. A bit smaller than the previous places weve rented on Kiawah which were further in on the island, but the beach access made up for it. Elevator is short walk out the door and then straight ahead to the beach boardwalk. It is very adequate for a couple. Easy access to bike trails. We ate in a couple nights and visited the golf resort restaurants the other nights which were all very good. The kitchen had most everything we needed, except a wine opener! We left our 2 beach chairs that we purchased, for the next renters to enjoy. There were ample towels provided. The outdoor chairs could use a good scrubbing, but were ok. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely return.

Manager's Response

Hi Margaret,
There should definitely be a wine opener in the unit, so we will add that ASAP. Also, we will be sure to clean the outdoor chairs. Thank you for your feedback. We are thrilled you enjoyed the villa!

Nice enough stay for a quick getaway

This unit is located in an older building, however the condo itself has had some updates. It is extremely convenient to the boardwalk/beach access, which was great! It's located on the second floor, and it has great views (and sounds!) of the ocean. The unit was clean enough- some of the furniture was a bit dusty, and the patio chairs could use a good scrubbing, but the kitchen and bath were fine. (One thing to note- this building's elevator and halls had a very strong musty smell. And that smell was in the condo some as well. It was noticeable enough that I am surprised it had not been mentioned in any of the reviews I read before booking this place. If you have allergies, it would be something to consider.)

Vacation on Kiawah Island

Kiawah is a beautiful island. We loved biking on the 30 miles of paved bike trails. Our condo was clean but very dated. It was located in a very convenient location and had a nice view of the ocean. Overall we had a great trip.

Beautiful condo with a wonderful view. Bedroom was very spacious and I loved the high king bed. Walk in shower was easily accessible. The kitchen was easy to cook in which we did often. Kinda scarce on the condiments. Overall we loved the place.

A wonderful time in spite of Hurricane Irma

My husband and I have made a yearly trip to Kiaweh this time of year for about four years. This unit was one of our favorite - very well appointed and right on the beach. In addition, I cannot say enough about how the company handled the upcoming hurricane. We were asked to evacuate early and they have also offered to pay for any unused nights. It looks like the brunt of the hurricane will not be there thankfully, but I really appreciate that they put their guests safety first.

Return to Shipwatch

Great condo and location. Have stayed 5-6 times in 2269. Condo clean and comfortable. Shipwatch has always been quiet and relaxing. Love easy access to beach. If there is a downside it is lack of a pool for the complex. We use to enjoy walking next door to the hotel and the pools with great lunches, refreshments etc. times have changed.

This is probably my 5th or 6th stay at Shipwatch and 2nd or 3rd in this unit. Was clean and well appointed for my needs

Wonderful Visit

The condo was nice, clean and had a good view from the balcony. My only complaint would be the couch is uncomfortable and needs to be replaced. The condo was perfect for the two of us. Always a pleasure renting from Akers Ellis!

Manager's Response

Sandy,
Thank you for letting us know about the couch. We will discuss it with the owner. We're thrilled you enjoyed your stay!

Update-We are happy to report that the owner has purchased a new sofa and that was put in the villa in May 2017!

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

We are never disappointed with Kiawah! Coffee on the balcony while watching deer emerge from the thicket on the dunes, dolphins playing in the waves is unbeatable! We slept well on a very comfy bed. Though the sofa was somewhat uncomfortable, everything else exceeded expectations. The villa is pristine and lovely, the views are spectacular and the mirrored wall in the main living area is brilliant, giving us an even broader view of the Atlantic. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Kiawah Island for Thanksgiving

Our visit began with a little le confusion about door entry code, but property management was responsive with timely help. The villa was clean except for bathroom rug, but overall acceptable condition. Management provided a clean rug, additional bathroom supplies, and complimentary coffee. Location of villa was convenient, close to elevator, and easy access to beach. Short walk to beach. Nice water view. Quiet. Peaceful. Enjoyed using Wi Fi and watching Hallmark movies. Loved riding bikes on beach. Will visit again! Kiawah is a special place.

Thanks so much for all of your prompt assistance with any questions we might have had and for providing so much convenient information on your app- sightseeing, restaurants, bike rental, etc. We might rent a few weeks later in the year next time though...maybe some warmer temps than we experienced last week! ;)

Great view

We enjoyed our stay very much. The unit has a great view. I would rate it a 4 only because I feel it needs a little work. For a beachfront unit, a more cheerful, light color scheme for the furniture and curtains would help. The mirror wall makes the room seem much larger and projects a panoramic view of the ocean.

Lovely, updated condo with great views

We were very satisfied and happy with everything except for a couple things that nothing to do with the wonderful service that was provided. The sleeper sofa was a bit uncomfortable and the heater was a little noisy. We enjoyed the beach and the ocean views from the great panorama that we had by sitting in the living room. Overall we liked that place so much because of the views and the way it is set up and it is just perfect for our smaller family now. We would like to come back many more times and make it our new vacation condo at the beach. Overall it is a very lovely place.

Great Experience With Akers Ellis Real Estate At Kiawah

Overall experience from booking vacation rental to last day on Kiawah was very good. What you advertise is what we got, not dissapointed in any way. One day the water to building was off and we greatly appreciated the attention to detail by having a note left on our door advising us of when we could expect water to be turned back on. Trying to get our laptop running was our only issue. Hope to be back again soon and would use Akers again.

Pictures do not do justice. Unit was clean with great ocean views and short walk to beach. Loved watching the dolphins swim offshore and shrimp trawlers every morning from the balcony. Very private location and was really quiet. King bed was spacious and very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked and enjoyed cooking fresh shrimp we bought from Cherry Point Seafood Co. Spent a day in Charleston and drove to Edisto Beach for a day trip shelling. Riding our rented bikes on beach to the point where we saw dolphin stran feeding was fabulous. Highly recommend condo for both location and ease of renting transaction. Can't wait to come back to Kiawah and will definitely stay here again.

This property needed some new beach chairs and comforter for the king size bed, but other than that, the property was in good condition.

Impressed!

I was very impressed with the condo. It had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Also,the grounds surrounding it were beautiful, and you could tell they were well taken care of. I was also impressed with how clean the laundry and trash areas were. I would return!
