Overall, this house is a great value, on a beautiful and expensive island, and the location is prime. House has plenty of space for a family group, our kids enjoyed the loft space, and the living room couch is super comfy. Very quick walk to a great uncrowded part of the beach.
Now for the issues (all of which were communicated to Vacasa with no follow up until we had already checked out)...
-House needs some electrical work as the fuse blew a couple times and fuse box sparked when we reset (they said they were sending an electrician on our last day)
-Dryer had a sensor indicating it needed cleaning in order to operate properly- fortunately my husband can fix a dryer and was able to resolve this
-Kitchen is poorly stocked if you plan to do any real cooking- the only baking sheet was severely warped, there were only 6 forks, and one of the gas stove burners required cleaning; Also the gas grill wouldn't light on its own so we had to light it with a burning plate (no firestick or matches provided with the house)
-Bathroom door in the front guest bedroom has to be slammed in order to fully close because it's too big/swollen for the opening
We hope Vacasa will resolve these issues (and maybe throw us a discount) since we were so patient about the lack of maintenance or response during our stay. We still enjoyed our time on Kiawah immensely and would stay here again if assured that the issues mentioned above have been addressed.
