A luxe experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely home, though the beach was further away than we thought, which wasn't ideal. Traffic getting on/off the island was also kind of stressful and unexpected. But the house itself was great, pool was excellent, beautiful kitchen with all the amenities, a nice grill, comfortable deck furniture and great birdwatching. Master bathroom bathtub and shower were both incredible. A nice bonus was finding bicycles and helmets in the garage, as well as assorted beach gear.

The house and the location are wonderful. The view is amazing. The house was very clean. The kitchen has everything you need to cook if you want to cook while you stay here, but it could use some better knives and a non stick skillet. The beds are very comfortable and the linens were very nice. We would definitely stay here again.

Terrific home!

We visit Kiawah every year and always try to stay in Indigo Point (which is where this home is located). Proximity to sanctuary, beaches, parks is ideal with a short bike ride. Home was as advertised, and we would love to stay here again!

beautiful setting but could use some upkeep

This is a beautiful home with a great pool. However the gutters should be cleaned as the pine needles were overflowing into the pool. We could also tell pets live in the home as it could have been a little cleaner. Also disclosing that Information, specifically that cats have been in the house, would be helpful to those who have allergies.

Quiet, lovely home

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were there for a week for my daughter's wedding and it was an ideal spot that gave us quiet away from the activities, yet close enough to access Kiawah's offerings easily. It's a very pretty house and the deck area. The table was filthy with something that we couldn't remove so that was disappointing but the view over the march is wonderful. The kitchen supplies were rather random. E.g., there was only one teaspoon, no toaster, no non-stick pans, and only 3 regular coffee mugs. If you enjoy coffee, you are covered with multiple ways to make it! The person answering the phone at the management company was not friendly when I extended our stay twice. Not the best face for the company. Huge garage with stuff to do down there, but we didn't use it. Couch was all torn up by what looked like a cat. Temperature in house was great. Good lightening. I'd go back, but probably in the spring before it's been used hard all summer.

Dream Home Not A Dream

We were very disappointed in our stay at this home and the PM company’s care. The overall cleanliness of the home was not good-there was dust, bugs, and animal hair all throughout the floors of the home, including a bug in my son’s bed. The deck outside and furniture was covered in pine needles. The cookware at the home was absolutely not up to par - there was 1 non-stick frying pan, no kitchen tongs (only grilling), there was literally only one sharp knife and one oven mitt. Upon arrival to the home the shampoo, conditioner, body gel, and most important, hand soap dispensers were not full, and the hand soap dispensers were actually filled with water (for all but 1). The PM did bring at my request amenity soaps, etc. and dropped them at the front porch. I told them not to worry about coming to refill them as we did not want to be inconvenienced yet I got a text a day later from the PM saying that Layne would be coming by to refill them - we were about to go golfing and were inconvenienced by his visit. During the visit he realized there was no hand soap for refill; he left and there was no communication/follow-up on getting hand soap. The Viking stove oven was finicky and not working properly and we elected not to have it repaired as we did not want to be inconvenienced again. The day we were departing the home there was a small leak from the refrigerator through the freezer and onto the kitchen floor. For the price we paid and what we got we don’t recommend anyone stay here!

The upholstery stayed damp feeling throughout our stay and even the cereal boxes became damp. Also,there were dust bunnies in several rooms and red ants in the sessil rug in the den.

We had a blast at 119 Halona Lane!

We rented the 2013 HGTV Dream Home and it did not disappoint. We visited the house with two families consisting of 4 adults (two couples) and 4 kids. At first glance, I thought the house was going to be a tight fit, but it ended up being quite spacious. The entry hall was fabulous with its welcoming bench seating and access to the largest powder room I have ever seen. The main living area, dining room, and kitchen had plenty of room and we never felt like we were crowded. The living room pictures on the site show a TV-less room, but believe me there is a very large TV in the space. The views from the two story space were spectacular and the deck and pool were used heavily during our stay. The pool was in a great location, which allowed the water to remain a good temperature throughout the day. The basement level has bed swings and a ping pong table which we were not able to use as much as we would have liked during our stay. The master bedroom was well appointed as well as the two ensuites upstairs which worked out for the 2 oldest girls and the other couple. The two youngest kids really enjoyed the bunk bed alcove area and viewed it as their special hangout. We stayed 7 days and would love to stay there again. 8 was a perfect number especially if half of them are kids.
