Great for Family Gatherings!

We had a wonderful time celebrating my husband's 40th birthday at this house. It accommodates several guests and has a lot of comforts of home. It's about a 7 minute walk down the bike path to get to the beach. Loved it! Thank you!

Great Beach House

Great house for large family gathering at the beach. All bedrooms were a great size with their own closets and bathrooms. Easy bike ride or walk to the beach.

Perfect place for a family gathering

We have kids that live in CA, VA, SC & NC and we rarely have a whole week when we are together. We had plenty of space to spread out, this kitchen is amazing and the pool was perfect for your grandchildren.

Great Property

Communication throughout the process was very effective. The property was as described. To top it off we city dwellers were able to get a close up view of Johnny the alligator who visited and winked at us before slinking back into his habitat. Will definitely do this again.

A Splash of Fun

The heated pool sealed the deal for this property . Our 3 yr old niece was so surprised when she arrived and could swim in December! The house was completely clean when we arrived and the starter kit of toilet paper and towels they supplied was more than adequate for our group of 7 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen is fully equipped and i love that the homeowners LABELED every drawer and light switch so we didnt have to guess every single time. we're already talking about making this a family tradition and hope we can rent this property again in the future!

Perfect landing spot for 3 families with teens

BH3 is a well-appointed home. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook delicious meals- including large seafood pots, plenty of good knives, cutting boards, and serving pieces. ❤️ The teens loved the bunk room. The sun porch was quickly made their domain and they stopped their video games long enough to assemble a puzzle and play rumikub on the game table out there. We also liked that there was a large recycle bin outside. We were planning on taking our recycles home. Thanks to the owners for sharing their lovely spot in Kiawah.

Wonderful Week in Kiawah

Bufflehead 3 was the perfect house for our family vacation. Our two sons and their families and my husband and I loved the spacious house. There was plenty of room for the ten of us. The grandkids loved the pool every day and the beach was a short bike ride from the house. The house has a kitchen that is stocked with everything you can imagine which was great for the meals we decided to stay in and cook. We definitely took advantage of the second refrigerator which was a plus. The only small appliance I would suggest they add is a blender. I missed my daily smoothies! The house has a beautiful mostly glass sunroom on the first floor with a large TV which was a good babysitter for the "early rising grandkids" to play in until the rest of the family woke up. We also found games, puzzles and books in a cabinet as well as loads of beach toys which the kids enjoyed. We would definitely stay here again as we all had a great time!

Rental was not as expected. Will not stay again.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very unhappy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is full of bugs. From mosquitos, cockroaches, silver fish bugs, and spiders. They were found in bedrooms, bathrooms, dining areas, on couches, basically everywhere. And Beachwalker did not address it or compensate for this. We paid a good amount of money for this rental and did not expect such an unpleasant experience. The house is definitely showing wear as did the furniture and was pretty dirty. We had to get housekeeping to come back and clean the floors because there was so much dirt and dead bugs laying around the house. Baseboards are dirty, bathroom tiles were old and looked dirty, etc. Housekeeping did their best and Beachwalker was responsive when called upon but that doesn't fix the house. The place has vines crawling in the front, which led to more spiders and bugs. It was a mess. We will not be renting this home or from Beachwalker again. Beds were also extremely uncomfortable.

Family fun in Kiawah

We came as a family to this same property in Kiawah two years ago, and when deciding where to meet up again, we all wanted to go back to Kiawah and in fact, stay in this same house. The house itself is fantastic for a family, with a private small dipping pool that the kids love. The house is great to cook and chill out with a BBQ grill. Unfortunately, the house was NOT cleaned well upon arrival. We were not notified that cleaning was not completed, and I received a text confirming the check-in time was still 4 PM. However, the cleaners did not finish cleaning until 5:30 PM. What we were left with was a dirty house, which is unacceptable, but especially since we were re-assured there were extra cleaning mechanisms in place with COVID19, and this was why we ended up not canceling the stay. My mom was mopping and sweeping the floor on arrival to the property, which is not how I want my mom to start her vacation. Furthermore, the pool was cloudy and unclean. The cleaners came back and cleaned it the day after our arrival, but my father had to ask them to put in phosphorus to clarify the water, after which, it was excellent. When we discussed with management our concerns over the property condition, they initially re-funded the cleaning fee. However, my brother, who is in real estate and property management had to discuss with them our disappointment and frustration with the arrival condition. They ended up refunding some of the price of the house rental, which although appreciated and warranted, still does not alter the arrival that we had. Furthermore, in Kiawah, it seems that the year-round property owners that do not like having rental houses in the area are making it difficult for people who visit. We had bike rentals and we were told that the city ordinance mandates nothing can be seen from the street. We were sent a photo of the bikes on our rental property as someone complained, but the picture had to be taken from a zoom lense and on the property, meaning they had to trespass into the front yard in order to obtain the bike pictures. We checked every night to ensure we were in compliance, and this was just one more headache on the trip. In regards to Kiawah, however, we absolutely love this place. It is a fantastic location, easy to get to the beach, and overall a serene island that has amazing golf and biking paths. We came back because we had a great time on the first trip and we still had a great time round 2.

Great house, great location, and well stocked. Only one complaint: during the two weeks we stayed there, four different smoke detectors went off during the middle of several nights. Fortunately there was a step ladder available so that we could take them down and deactivate them. Maintenance came out twice, but perhaps all the detectors should have been replaced, since one more went off after the second maintenance visit.

The house accommodated our family beautifully. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The property manager took time out of her Sunday to take care of an issue that was no one's fault!

Perfect stay for our large family

This gorgeous and updated house was great for our big family! We had grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles and the space was perfect with each room having a separate bath. We had the pool warmed, which was such a treat for the kids each day. The stove is gas, and a little finicky, but literally that is the only criticism I have. Such a great location too, walking distance from the beach! The local Vacasa team was so responsive to all of our questions and concerns. Definitely booking through them again!

2nd Time was even better.

We had a house full! We really liked this house and location. The kitchen seems to have everything, since we stay in and everyone cooks & bakes. Had to find a bigger house for next year as our family keeps growing and this trip becomes more popular with everyone, but would pick this house again in a heartbeat if our crowd shrinks in size.

Gorgeous setting and comfortable house

We stayed in this lovely house the first week of January, and the weather was chilly but beautiful. Kiawah Island is such a beautiful place, which we explored on foot and by bike. The house is large and comfortable - unfortunately, our extended family cancelled due to COVID concerns, so the three of us had the place to ourselves. The bedrooms and bathrooms were ample and had lots of storage for our things. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked with dishes, cookware and utensils. Bring your own paper napkins and paper towels, as well as plastic wrap and foil. Everything else was there for us! We recommend the excellent service and sturdy bikes from Island Cycle, and grabbed several convenient lunches at The Market. Had a good sushi dinner at Freshfields and found the Harris Teeter there convenient, but we also had lots of great meals in Charleston, North Charleston and Summerville. We loved the house and the area and will definitely return, hopefully with family!
