"A week in paradise!"
A week in paradise! Jeanette and Shawn are the perfect hosts. All your needs are met and the unit is always in perfect condition!
"Romantic Retreat with Sweeping Ocean Views"
We wouldn’t hesitate to return!
"Perfect beachfront location"
Kiawah Island Getaways is always top-notch service and properties. This is the first time I’ve stayed at the Carmel Cottage – one of their newest properties. Tasteful and comfortable decor with thoughtful details throughout the apartment. Perfect beachfront location. Would definitely stay there again!
"It was a very nice place to stay and the beach was greatNew Review"
The property had a great location but was smaller than expected and had some surprising features like the master bedroom only had access to the bathroom outside the bedroom while the second bedroom had an in-suite bathroom. But it was a very nice place to stay and the beach was great. Had to leave a couple of days early in order to avoid getting stuck there when the hurricane struck and stayed at hotel near the airport. Was somewhat surprised that a request for some consideration was completely blown off and disregarded even though the elevators were turned off and there were threats of flooding. Apparently, the only way to get some consideration is if there was a full island evacuation order. Oh, well, still had a great time in the area.
"Literally steps away from the beach"
We are about to head out and I want to sit here in your villa and think back on our vacation. We picked a most excellent vacation destination when we selected Kiawah and more specifically the Shade villa. We could not have been more pleased. This villa is so well cared for. The linens are top quality, the kitchen is filled with everything one would need to enjoy meals at home. With literally steps away from the beach we enjoyed the sounds of the waves and spent hours sitting on the beach and enjoying the scenery and making new friends. We felt very safe and hope to return one day. Thank you for your attention to detail and making sure we had everything we needed. The communication you provide your guests before, during and I am sure after we leave has been reassuring and comforting to us.
"Most comfortable beds from a rental property"
First time in Kiawah and staying with Shawn and Jeanette but hopefully many more in the future. The inside was literally stunning and you can’t beat the proximity to the beach. The beds were also the most comfortable I’ve had at a rental property. They’ve thought of everything you need and are clear in the check in and check out procedures. Overall a fabulous experience.
"They thought of everything"
I would highly recommend this location. They thought of everything to make our trip wonderful. Beautiful Views of the Ocean!
"Fabulous views from two decks"
The venue exceeded expectations in all categories. Fabulous views from two decks, upscale finishes on interior and comfortable furnishings as well as every kitchen convenience.
"The house was beautiful and had everything we needed"
We had the best Labor Day weekend with friends. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The view was breathtaking. I can’t say enough good things about this house and the location.
