    I won a holiday giveaway to this beautiful plant nursery and boy did I hit the jackpot. Brownswood…read moreNursery is a gem of a place. They are this beautiful oasis of indoor and outdoor plants. I was greeted by their friendly staff who allowed me to tour their HUGE greenhouse that just left me in Aww! I spent time looking at every plant they offered and it was such a relaxing spot. I didn't want to leave and had to talk myself out of making a purchase. I came strictly for planters, but man it was hard to resist. They have a cute little store with unique planters and other planting needs and trinkets. Brownswood is also a landscaping company and can supply you with everything to make your lawn beautiful. Everything about this place is a plant lover's dream and for anyone looking to spruce up their property should definitely check them out. Very reasonable prices, great customer service, and a knowledgeable staff to help you beautify your place indoors and out.

    I visited Brownswood Nursery for the first time and purchased several varieties of border shrubs in…read morethe spring and planted them in my well-amended garden bed. Despite proper sun and watering, withing several weeks one shrub started to turn brown. I brought it to the nursery when 3/4 of the bush was dead. I requested a replacement and was advised that I had over-watered the plant and it had develeped a fungus. I was further advised that they would offer a ONE-TIME REPLACEMENT, AT 50% OF THE COST! This did not sit well with me but I needed another bush, so I reluctantly paid the additional cost and purchased fungal spray to have on hand. Within the next couple of weeks, another shrub as well as the replacement shrub started to turn brown. I administered the fungicide accordingly, but the plants did not respond and died. Upon calling the nursery and advising them of the situation, I was told this time that the shrubs had been UNDER-WATERED and that they only offered a ONE-TIME REPLACEMENT. I have purchased many plants and shrubs over the years from other nurseries as well as at Home Depot, Lowes, and Costco, and have never experienced this deplorable level of customer service. If there is a problem, this nursery expects one to call with any issues so that they can give you the run around and BLAME YOU for the plants failure! I learned that Brownswood Nursery does not stand behind the quality of their merchandise. NEVER AGAIN!!

    Our stay at the Penthouse at Windswept was lovely. Our accommodations were just as you see in the…read morephotos on the Kiawah Island Getaway website. It was a sisters trip and one much needed . We were welcomed by soft music and beautiful flowers welcoming us. There was everything we needed in the unit for our weekend. The accommodations were updated and very tasteful. If we could say one thing about the Villa it was the upstairs beds were too soft. If you need a firm mattress sleep downstairs in the room with the twins . Our overall stay was wonderful. It was when I went to book again that we had an unpleasant surprise. Jeanette (the owner) told me we did not follow the check out instructions to take out garbage . She stated the head of her her cleaning crew said garbage was left in the Villa and then check out instructions were not followed. I was shocked! There had to be a mix up with which Villa the cleaning crew was talking about, because I personally took all the garbage out to the parking lot garbage bin located in the center of the parking lot in an enclosure. There were 6 of us ladies ranged in the ages of 49-58. We left that place as we found it and the list was followed. Well, due to this accusation I was very insulted. Jeanette insisted she was right. I canceled my current reservation as I was so taken aback and a bit shaken. I have never had this happen to me in all the years I have rented homes and villas. Then after a week or so I decided it was too petty and the other set of women I was planning a trip with wanted to stay at Ocean Blue. So I put in the reservation and deposit. I very quickly received an email from Jeanette telling me they would not be honoring my reservation and no longer would be allowing me to rent from them. I couldn't believe what happened... This was the most unbelievable experience. After all the years of sending people to Kiawah Island Getaways and referring them they treat me as if I am some dirty rat. Sad experience... and probably due to a mix up with which Villa the cleaners were really talking about. However, that is far from how you handle yourself in business and customer service.

    Our stay itself at The Shade in 2021 was wonderful. We appreciated the fresh flowers & warm music…read moreupon arrival, property cleanliness, tasteful decor, well-stocked kitchen & attention to detail. The 3 minute walk to the beach was shaded and pretty. We read through the helpful robust welcome binder thoroughly. Specifically, check out instructions were detailed, and we felt encouraged knowing this is part of what keeps the property a great place to stay. It was when my husband went to book the following year and to our surprise, the female co-owner advised that they cancelled our reservation. Disappointed, we called for an explanation, and she told us it was noted by housekeepers that the property was "difficult to clean with a lot of garbage left behind" after our stay. We responded asking for specifics, could this be a mistake, perhaps a mix up with another unit - as we took such diligent care to honor the property throughout, follow instructions, and to leave The Shade better than we found it. We swept, vacuumed, wiped down every surface and are 100% confident there was zero garbage left behind. Jeanette was curt, rude and would give no further explanation. She then deferred by offering to "allow" us to stay in one of their lower-end properties which she thought would be a better fit. This was insulting and we opted to take our business elsewhere. Interacting with her felt unsettling. A red flag and poor business acumen. There was another poster on this string who described a very similar experience arguing with the same property manager who told her that check out instructions for garbage were not followed. Reading that provided some solidarity after the bizarre interaction my husband and I had. Perhaps it is a pattern with this property manager. Posting here in case anyone else views this and experiences the same. There is not much competition on the island, but I would recommend booking with one of the other agents on beautiful Kiawah Island.
