This spacious, well-appointed Vanderhorst Plantation home has a sunroom, deck, and a new private pool that can be heated (for an additional fee) that allows you to enjoy the outdoors and take in the views of the lagoon behind the house. This home has hardwood floors, granite counters, and painted cabinets within an upscale full kitchen on the first floor. There is an extra refrigerator in the office area, the perfect place to store cold drinks for the warm weather! The home has recently been renovated with a new couch, chairs, sunroom furniture, and grill and is just a short walk or bike ride (about 700 yards) to the beach, which is virtually around the corner.

When you enter the home and take the staircase on your left to the second story, you'll find four bedrooms. Taking two immediate lefts at the top of the stairs will bring you to a bedroom with a flatscreen TV. From there, just down a short hall is a bedroom with a flatscreen TV and an en suite bathroom with a standalone shower with a removable showerhead. Moving past the staircase and a small sitting room, the bedroom on your left has a flatscreen TV. Across the hall is another bedroom with an en suite bathroom with a shower/ tub combination. The primary bedroom is on the main level, just past the foyer on the left. It has access to a furnished private deck, dual walk-in closets, and a huge en suite bathroom featuring two separate sinks with counter space, a vanity area, a jetted garden tub, and a standalone walk-in shower.

Things to Know
The home is equipped with a home mosquito spray system.

A Splash of Fun
The heated pool sealed the deal for this property . Our 3 yr old niece was so surprised when she arrived and could swim in December! The house was completely clean when we arrived and the starter kit of toilet paper and towels they supplied was more than adequate for our group of 7 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen is fully equipped and i love that the homeowners LABELED every drawer and light switch so we didnt have to guess every single time. we're already talking about making this a family tradition and hope we can rent this property again in the future!

2nd Time was even better.
We had a house full! We really liked this house and location. The kitchen seems to have everything, since we stay in and everyone cooks & bakes. Had to find a bigger house for next year as our family keeps growing and this trip becomes more popular with everyone, but would pick this house again in a heartbeat if our crowd shrinks in size.

Gorgeous setting and comfortable house
We stayed in this lovely house the first week of January, and the weather was chilly but beautiful. Kiawah Island is such a beautiful place, which we explored on foot and by bike. The house is large and comfortable - unfortunately, our extended family cancelled due to COVID concerns, so the three of us had the place to ourselves. The bedrooms and bathrooms were ample and had lots of storage for our things. The kitchen was extremely well-stocked with dishes, cookware and utensils. Bring your own paper napkins and paper towels, as well as plastic wrap and foil. Everything else was there for us! We recommend the excellent service and sturdy bikes from Island Cycle, and grabbed several convenient lunches at The Market. Had a good sushi dinner at Freshfields and found the Harris Teeter there convenient, but we also had lots of great meals in Charleston, North Charleston and Summerville. We loved the house and the area and will definitely return, hopefully with family!

Awesome Kiawah Beach Week!
This was a delightful week in a beautiful home. The beds were incredible - we all slept great. Having a crib available was a bonus as our youngest was under one year old. Lots of space to spread out in from the sun room to to the pool deck and den (very spacious). The kitchen was incredibly stocked with every pot, pan, cooking utensils and included items to bake with. The pool was ideal for afternoons after the beach and we were all comfortable on the large deck. All 12 of us loved this house!!

Family fun in Kiawah
We came as a family to this same property in Kiawah two years ago, and when deciding where to meet up again, we all wanted to go back to Kiawah and in fact, stay in this same house. The house itself is fantastic for a family, with a private small dipping pool that the kids love. The house is great to cook and chill out with a BBQ grill. Unfortunately, the house was NOT cleaned well upon arrival. We were not notified that cleaning was not completed, and I received a text confirming the check-in time was still 4 PM. However, the cleaners did not finish cleaning until 5:30 PM. What we were left with was a dirty house, which is unacceptable, but especially since we were re-assured there were extra cleaning mechanisms in place with COVID19, and this was why we ended up not canceling the stay. My mom was mopping and sweeping the floor on arrival to the property, which is not how I want my mom to start her vacation. Furthermore, the pool was cloudy and unclean. The cleaners came back and cleaned it the day after our arrival, but my father had to ask them to put in phosphorus to clarify the water, after which, it was excellent. When we discussed with management our concerns over the property condition, they initially re-funded the cleaning fee. However, my brother, who is in real estate and property management had to discuss with them our disappointment and frustration with the arrival condition. They ended up refunding some of the price of the house rental, which although appreciated and warranted, still does not alter the arrival that we had. Furthermore, in Kiawah, it seems that the year-round property owners that do not like having rental houses in the area are making it difficult for people who visit. We had bike rentals and we were told that the city ordinance mandates nothing can be seen from the street. We were sent a photo of the bikes on our rental property as someone complained, but the picture had to be taken from a zoom lense and on the property, meaning they had to trespass into the front yard in order to obtain the bike pictures. We checked every night to ensure we were in compliance, and this was just one more headache on the trip. In regards to Kiawah, however, we absolutely love this place. It is a fantastic location, easy to get to the beach, and overall a serene island that has amazing golf and biking paths. We came back because we had a great time on the first trip and we still had a great time round 2.

Communication with Vacasa Didn’t exist UNTIL we found Charlene At the KIAWAH OFFICE
The house was perfect for our family of 11-6 adults, 2 teens, kids 7,6, and 1. Plenty of room, we ALL loved the sun room and the best stocked kitchen we have ever had since we did ALL meals in with the Coronavirus. The pool was one of the best parts, the deck is shaded by mid afternoon so kids could swim and adults could relax. VACASA was very difficult company to work with UNTIL you can finally get with the local people at their KIAWAH ISLAND OFFICE. Charlene and Jyl saved the day AND OUR USE OF VRBO.

The Perfect Family Retreat
What a beautiful home! The property is clean, well-decorated and full of great amenities for large groups. Each spacious bedroom has comfy beds and a private bathroom. The pool deck provides a relaxing outdoor area to socialize. One of our favorite parts of this home was the large kitchen! With 2 refrigerators, an extra ice maker, and enough kitchen utensils to supply a restaurant—we always had the supplies we needed! This home exceeded our expectations and we definitely hope to return for future stays.

Well equipped, clean and nicely decorated
Love the two refrigerators to cut down on grocery runs. Very well appointed home. Super clean. Well designed and appreciated the extra trundle beds beneath bunks. Definitely recommend bike rentals and carts to help bring gear to the beach as it’s about 10-15 min by foot. Also appreciate past guests leaving a few toys and gear which we gladly used and left for the next guests. Lovely home and would recommend all around!
