I want to start by saying we would consider a rental from Sweetgrass in the future. Only if they…read moremeet our criteria. We never saw the house we rented Jan-April 2023. The house needed to prepare for our stay. Sweetgrass responded to our needs, which were frequent. House was dirty; I would not have my dog sit on the sofa because the cushion covers were filthy. They were removed and cleaned. We had many Xfinity/Comcast issues and eventually found out it needed to be set up correctly. Xfinity finally got involved and resolved the problems...I believe it took four weeks before resolution. Storage areas under the house were a mess. Most of these issues were resolved during our stay. As stated, the house was not prepared or inspected for a three-month rental. We did meet with the Director of Operations before leaving and gave him a list of our complaints. He was agreeable and did reimburse us for part of our stay. Sweetgrass tried! The Sweetgrass staff always showed up. Some staff members understood the problems and overall they were polite and very nice.

I inquired about a late check out. They said it would be $200 extra for 2 hours! Then they asked me if the landscapers could come work on the house early am on day of check out. I said sure if you give us a late check out. They said no, so I said no, but they sent the landscapers anyway. I was seen naked through a deck window, then they were blowing leaves and crap all in our faces as we were trying to pack. I called and they said too bad it's not their problem. They do not care about the clients.

We have rented numerous times on Kiawah island and this was our first and last with Akers Ellis…read more The condo we rented had bugs, spiders and was filthy. We called to let them know and they sent someone to haphazardly clean it. Then we had to buy our own cleaning supplies as they didn't even leave enough dishwashing tablets for the week or garbage bags; we called to replace burned out light bulbs and they delivered the wrong ones. It was unbelievable. The final straw was the HVAC system sounded like it had an animal living in it and would make loud "bang, bang, bang" sounds waking up the entire family. They claimed there was nothing they could do but we never saw an HVAC tech the entire week. DO NOT rent 1107 duneside villa or you will be sorry you did. We will NEVER rent from Akers Ellis again. Response to Akers Ellis: while you did have someone visit the unit and inspect it, they did nothing to fix the issue. Their "workaround" was to leave the fan on circulate and I called back the next day to let you know it woke our entire family up. It did this every night. Also your claim that there are no bad reviews; look on VRBO. Apparently you had to move a customer to another unit because it was a dump. I requested to be moved and was told all your units were rented, which was false. Lastly, your "credit" for 10% of the rental is not an acceptable solution to make me ever consider your company again. It's more of an insult rather than a resolution.

We knew our Pam Harrington Exclusives rental was an older home with outdated décor, but we figured…read morewe could overlook the tacky wallpaper and threadbare carpets given the prime beachfront location. Wrong. There is nothing Exclusive about a home where the first thing you see when you walk up the front stairs is duct tape. And that wasn't the only place. There were at least 4 places where duct tape was the maintenance approach of choice. Maintenance issues abound...a better word for the home than Exclusive: NEGLECT. Torn screens. Locks so covered in rust you couldn't turn them. Everything covered in rust on the screened in porch - and please spare me the "beachfront homes are exposed to salt, sea air and sun and of course they are going to rust." When Zillow lists the value of the home at several million dollars and you charge the same nightly rate as the luxury resort a mile down the road you can afford to replace ceiling fans, hinges, locks and anything else as often as necessary so that guests don't feel like they are sitting in a junkyard. Almost all of the lights in the garage were rusted with broken glass - and pine straw had accumulated in at least two of them creating a fire hazard. Also in the garage: a grill that hasn't been cleaned in a decade, a utility sink that had someone else's debris in it, and a random pall mall cigarette resting on one of the outlets. In the house, two broken lamps where the bulb was literally hanging out of the base at a 90-degree angle. A large kitchen with two of everything...from the 1970s. Even the dishes were old. You know you can buy plain white ceramic plates at Target for $40 - right? The shower curtain in the master bath was the cheapest you can find (I've seen nicer shower curtains at efficiency hotels)- and it was covered in mildew. Pam Harrington has moved check-in all the way to 5pm and check-out is now at 8am so they can have ample time to clean in between guests. I am not sure what happened in those 9 hours the day we arrived, but the house wasn't clean. There was sand on the dining room table. The previous tenant's beer can was sitting on the table on the porch. There were two freezers - one was covered in rust and one was covered in freezer burn. Housekeeping came the next day to clean them and told us that they were also full of sand and hair. She also said that whoever cleaned the house had failed to do basic tasks such as wiping down switches. Traveling in the age of COVID you expect top notch cleaning protocols to ensure safety, but at Pam Harrington it is empty words on the page. We checked in on a Saturday and we emailed management Sunday morning. They replied right away (hence why housekeeping came) but no real effort was made to come up with an alternative for us. We checked out the next day and checked into the luxury resort down the road. We submitted an honest, 1-star review of our experience through Escapia. It was not posted. I have seen other people say their less than 5-star reviews have not been posted either. We also saw pages torn out of the guest book in the home - I can only imagine what they wrote. My husband's family has been renting from Pam for nearly 40 years. And in less than 48 hours that reputation was destroyed. We will never rent from her again. And she's not that exclusive - there are other rental agencies on the island who do a much better job of managing the homes they rent to vacationers.

I work in Goose Creek but wanted to live closer to Charleston, and he helped me find a great place in West Ashley. I had some problems with my VA appraisal and loan at first, and Matt handled everything very efficiently and made me feel at ease. He was a great liaison between me and the sellers, and we settled for less than the initial offering price with the sellers fixing a few things I asked for before closing. Since then in February, he has followed up with me several times to see if I have questions or anything he can help out with; I would highly recommend Dunes Properties and especially Matt Brockbank to anyone I know!
