Gorgeous Fairway Oaks Villa, 100 yards from the beach

10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful Layout, Great Beach Access, and Fantastic Host!We really enjoyed our time on Kiawah Island and had a wonderful stay at this condo. The proximity to the beach was very nice—it was a short, easy walk along the boardwalk right to the ocean. We were even lucky enough to be there while sea turtles were laying eggs and baby turtles were hatching, which we absolutely loved!The owner was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process—providing great support before booking, during our stay, and even after we checked out.The accommodations themselves were very clean and good. The condo was fully furnished with comfortable beds and great showers. We especially loved the open layout of the kitchen and family room. It was the perfect setup for our family to spend quality time together, making it easy to interact while eating, watching TV, and playing games.Overall, it was a beautiful trip, and we highly recommend this property for a relaxing family getaway!"
