I'm writing the review I wish I could have read before booking. We rented Sea Cabin at 3116…read morePalmetto. The price was low for a beachfront property, so we knew it would be rustic with few updates, which was totally fine with us. However, the house is run down and needs a serious deep clean. Dust bunnies and dirt inside the bread box, a thick layer of grime and cobwebs along the porch ledge and windowsills. The washing machine full of sand and grime. There is no beach supply closet with chairs and plastic beach toys like most rentals. Their beach shed has an old dirty toilet in it. There are pallets of old wood just laying around in the covered parking area. There are 2 fridges, which is nice, but one has no sides on any of the shelves, rendering them useless. No ice makers. Only 2 plastic trays that were empty on arrival. Couldn't locate a single dish towel anywhere. Not a shred of toilet paper in any of the 3 bathrooms when we arrived. We are happy to buy our own, but isn't leaving at least a portion of a roll just understood?? Everything I listed above I can overlook- but here is the main reason for our disappointment. THE BEDS! Every single mattress is terrible. And every single bed makes a loud creaking noise with the slightest movement. And the doors on the bedrooms are the slatted closet type sliding doors so sound travels and there is little privacy. It was impossible for us to get a good nights sleep. And after waking up from fitful rest with a sore back, none of the other furniture in the home was comfortable either. There was just no relief. The beach behind the house is small- especially at low tide. The realty company was pleasant to deal with, and I realize the homeowners and cleaning staff share in the responsibility for the condition of the home. But when I booked, I asked the employee if I could read any reviews of the property. She said they don't provide them. I asked if there was ère any reported issues with the house and she said she wasn't aware of any complaints. I find that hard to believe since there is another 1 star review of this same property on this site. This was not a good experience and we won't be back.

It was during the ride that I experienced unreasonable pressure to let her see my home, even after explaining I wasn't interested in selling. I was utterly shocked by the lack of professionalism and the overbearing disposition of Marie Bost.

Hands down the hardest working agent we've ever worked with.

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.

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.
