Inlet Cove summer vacation
Loved Inlet Cove #80. We have stayed in many Inlet Cove houses and this one was one of the best. We did have an air conditioning issue at the end of our stay which was partially rectified. Called the after hours number to possibly get some fans, but we were continually cut off. So the last 2 nights and day were quite warm and uncomfortable. My husband was dripping wet from sweat the morning that we left. We were hoping for some compensation from the rental company but that has not happened.

Hey Debra! Thanks so much for the good review, and I'm sorry about the A/C issues! I believe you've already discussed this with one of our property managers, but just to clarify for future guests- we do post signs next to the A/C thermostats not to set below 68. With Charleston's humidity and temps in the summer, anything below that will freeze the unit. When the tech arrived the unit was set to 64 which unfortunately did freeze the unit and at that point you do have to wait for it to thaw out before it can work again. As long as kept at 68 and above, the system does work well and keeps the home nice and cool. Thanks again for staying and for the 4 star review!

Excellent, but a couple minor items need addressed
Positive: - Absolutely loved this vacation. Location is fantastically placed right between the beach and the pool. A 3 minute bike ride to either. Also very close to the Freshfields marketplace (grocery, restaurants, shopping) on the west end of the island. House was clean (mostly - see below). Nice touch to have music getting us. Negative: - nearly every house on the street had operable lighting on the steps. This house didn’t. Very dangerous and hard to see when trying to walk down steps at night for the nightly dog walk. FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY! - garbage can lid was broken. Super easy fix. Just buy a new garbage can or go the extra mile and build it into one of the cabinets (which would also keep the dogs out of it) - shelves in closets were very dirty. Almost looked like rodent droppings. This was nasty. - I asked owner prior to arrival if there were any beach items there we could use. They said no, and recommended a few rental companies. However, upon arrival we discovered 4 boogie boards, several beach chairs, and a beach cart and umbrella (these two were in rough shape). But the owner’s response prompted me to buy beach chairs and boogie boards and haul them 12 hours south. I would’ve appreciated an honest and accurate assessment of items available. I recognize this is a risk with a rental company as they cannot keep up on the detail of each property they manage. Suggestions: - provide a bike rack. Could easily be placed next to the drive where there is plenty of room (like the neighbors have done) Overall: - highly recommended! We will most certainly be interested in renting again!

Hey Allen! First of all, thanks for the five star review. I'm so glad you enjoyed the place and the experience! I appreciate the feedback as well that is very helpful for us. We are more than happy to complete those items to make the experience as enjoyable as possible for our guests. As for the shelves, we do have a pest control service that services the home regularly. No signs of rodents were found but we're always happy to send our guy out there if there's any concern! I wish that we knew about the beach equipment, but unfortunately we are unable to confirm what is left behind at the property by other guests etc. It changes often and we don't want to guarantee something that may not be there! Again, I really appreciate your suggestions and feedback and will definitely address these things. And so happy you enjoyed the home and look forward to you coming back to stay again!

Family Vacation
This is our second time staying at this property and it is perfectly equipped for our needs. Inlet cove is unlike any other place on Kiawah Island. The home was clean, in a great location, and the property manager was very easy to communicate with.

Very pretty, but a problem with ants
We really enjoyed the decor and updated features in this unit. However, there was a problem with ants throughout the entire week, resulting in the unit not feeling well-maintained from a pest control perspective. I have emailed and texted with the property owners repeatedly, and they have been ignoring me. The most response I have received was that it is a busy time, and maybe someone will get back to me after the summer rental season. I am frustrated.

We will discuss with both the property manager and reservations team to see why maintenance and communication fell through the cracks. Guest satisfaction is our number one priority so we were obviously concerned to see your comments! Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any other comments or questions.

What a great place to enjoy Kiawah
There were four adults, one teenager and one older child that stayed at this house. Not only was the house fully equipped with everything that we needed for our stay for seven days, but it was clean, well appointed, and fantastically close to the beach. What a bonus to have a gated community where the kids can ride their bikes and not worry about constant traffic. I’m so impressed with the way this house was managed, so much so that we immediately booked our house for next year with the same company.

Inlet Cove
We have stayed at Kiawah before, but not Inlet Cove. It was a nice little "side neighborhood," and we would stay there again. What is unique about it is the access to the Kiawah River. If you are into kayaking, this would be a great spot for you! And yet, the beach is still only a 5 minute walk. So it was nice to have that variety. Place was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, etc.

Kiawah cottage
I would say that this property needs a little tweaking. While the neighborhood was very nice and in a good location to the beach and the pool, the property itself needs some updating. When you first enter the unit, it is very dark. There is very little ceiling lighting and is mostly lit by lamps. The lamps are dull and make it difficult to play games, color with the kids, cook, etc. I think updating the lighting in the unit would make a huge difference. Next, the rugs in the unit were in desperate need of cleaning or replacing. There were several doggie doo doo stains, one that was very fresh. I did call the rental agency to let them know and they said they would have housekeeping take care of it, but nothing was ever done about it. There is little storage in the kitchen for groceries and no television in one of the two bedrooms. The listing noted that there was a grill available, but it was locked up during our stay. Finally there were cleaning products under the sinks in the kitchen and bathrooms that were not locked up. This is a potential safety hazard for anyone with young children. I would consider locking these up for future rentals. We having been coming to Kiawah and renting through the resort for over ten years. I would say this rental does not measure up to the premier units that we have stayed in. I will say the unit has potential but needs a little tlc. I really did enjoy the location and quiet neighborhood. It was really nice and safe for my young children to enjoy bike riding in.
