Lovely stay in Kiawah
We were in town for a wedding and the house was perfect for our large family. We enjoyed spending time together in such a peaceful setting. The location was very central and the house was very comfortable and well equipped. We would not hesitate to stay here again. :)

Great vacation!
Great home with lots of room to spread out. The pool was a must with the hot temperatures. It’s on the small side, but we still enjoyed spending time out there daily. Beach access was a little over a mile away so it was an easy ride on bikes. The kitchen was well stocked and house very clean. The only things we’d change are having some more dish towels and wash cloths for the kitchen and updated tv’s so we could stream. Overall it was a great home for our family vacation!

Perfect Pool area
We loved the pool as it was shallow and then had a deep section. Our toddler could enjoy the shallow area and play. The surrounding deck was perfect for sunning and grilling out. It was very private. 12 minute bike ride to Boardwalk 40 to enjoy the beach. Quick car ride to Osprey point clubhouse and also the Ryder Cup Bar for food and drinks. More outdoor lighting would be nice for entering the home after dark.

Unexpectedly Dirty
The house was not properly cleaned at all. We walked in and immediately had to vacuum the kitchen and wipe down the surfaces. There was dog hair everywhere, specifically on the side tables in the living room and the bedframes. There was still hair in the drawers in the guest bedroom upstairs. The upstairs primary bathroom shower handle broke off during use. The downstairs primary bathroom vanity had 2/3 lights burnt out. We have been staying on this Island for 20+ years and have never experienced this kind of carelessness towards a rental property. It's almost as if someone came in to clean and then simply didn’t!

Poor communication
We had a fire alarming chirping for 36 hours. We called the maintenance people and no one responded. We never found the beach towels or trash containers. The house had large dead bugs, carpet stains and didn’t feel that clean. It had a rotten egg smell. The pool was unusable cold and had no cover. We had a two year old and never felt safe. No toys or beach items available. Overall, it was a poor experience. We texted and called the maintenance company with zero response. We are still waiting for a response.

Great customer service, but neglected home
The house is in desperate need of TLC and a professional exterminator. While the rental management company was attentive, professional, and did their best to remedy the issues (including making 2 visit to spray the hornets nests and a mid-stay clean), nothing can remedy a sorely neglected home. The “palmetto bugs” or roaches were everywhere, large and small. It needs to be addressed asap, and simply spraying Raid will not cut it. For such a large home in an exclusive section of the island, it’s a shame that the owners do not care enough to maintain it. The kitchen needs new cutlery, plates, paint, trash can, and a deep clean. Also, the drawers and handles were loose and wobbly, the closets lacked hangers, and the linens were very thin. The house needs a full overhaul. The one star goes to the Vacasa customer service. The house is in need of repair and it simply can’t be helped unless the owner invests in a full overhaul and extermination.

193 Governors Drive
193 Governors Drive was a lovely home, very roomy, well-decorated & well-located. However, we have the following suggestions: 1) that lighting be added to the front entrance, as that area is very dark in the evening; 2) more cleaning would have been appreciated in the home, i.e., the windowsills in the kitchen, removal of cobwebs above the toilet in the full bath on the first floor and in the screened-in porch; 3) we would have appreciated if all tvs were operational, as out of the four tvs in the home, only one was operational and that was the tv on the first level in the living room; and 4) it would also have been good to have 2 nightstands in the bedrooms, instead of one, particularly in the bedrooms that sleep more than one person per bed, as the other person in the bedroom really has no place to put their belongings.

The house wasn't that clean, and there was a bad bug issue. The vrbo staff was very helpful with addressing issues. The pool was great to have, and the home havd ALOT of space. The good forsure out weighed the hiccups of the home.

The house was roomy and perfect for our group size. Plenty of space to spread out and do our individual things. Very relaxing and serene! Only drawback was that the steps leading up to the door are very dark, but we used our flashlights to illuminate for each other. Great community!
