This large and beautiful South Carolina home is located in the Vanderhorst Plantation behind the second security gate and features attractive floors, vaulted ceilings, and a sunroom that you'll never want to leave. The living area has tons of room and super-comfy furniture to spread out on while catching up with loved ones. Host a poker night with friends over the large dining room table, or wow them with some awesome food you prepared with the full kitchen - now here's a kitchen that's just begging to get used! The outside deck overlooks a local pond and is a great place to get in a good book, enjoy your morning cup of joe, or just hang out listening to nature.

What’s nearby:
This lovely villa is near the world-famous Ocean Course and Turtle Point Golf Courses and respective clubhouses where you can spend the day with friends and family. Kiawah Island has 10 miles of hard-packed beach, perfect for bike riding. Kiawah also features 30-plus miles of bicycle trails that sprawl across the island. Venture into Freshfields (around 5 miles away) for food, shopping, and fun. Plan a boating adventure at Bohicket Marina (around seven miles away) or go further into downtown historic Charleston (approximately 25 miles away) for the day. And endless adventures and family fun await you at the beach because the boardwalk is less than a mile away!

Met basic needs

The house overall met our needs. It is spacious and clean, yet outdated, which we knew. My concern was with communication… was told the parking gate passes were at the house. They were not. Went to the gate house and they did not have us arriving. The internet name and passcode sent to us was wrong. They advised me to unplug router. What a mess. Finally realizing I was given the wrong information. Could not find garbage disposal.

Loved our Kiawah vacation!!

The house was gorgeous, very roomy for our party of six, close to the beach, and clean! Vacasa mgmt was available to us and responded to our questions! The only thing I did differently from suggestions was that I rented our bikes from Alligator bike co. Instead of suggested one who gave us free baskets, free locks, and days 5-7 were free! Thank you for a wonderful vacation! I would highly recommend

Family vacation!

The house had all the room we needed which was great for us. The bad thing about it is that we had my 1 year old grandson with us and there was some kind of worms crawling all throughout the house and he is still crawling. The house is very dated but could be nice if sprayed properly! The Washing machine leaked water in the laundry room and the dryer shocked more than one of us, when we first arrived and entered the house, the water was running in the sink in the laundry room wide open. There was cobwebs & spiders all over the from porch and back deck too. My wife and i spent 2 hours just cleaning them up enough so we could sit outside. The house advertised a grill on the deck so we planned a night of grilling and the tank was empty, had to postpone that meal until the next day and buy a full tank for the grill and only used it once! I contacted the management and they messaged back very quickly but said for me to take pictures and email to them, and they didn't want us to have a bad experience.... how do i take pictures of an empty propane tank? The living room rug is coming apart and the fuzz would get all over the baby and kids when they layed on it. There wasn't any mention of trying to fix any issues while we were there, and it really upset my wife & I because we visit Kiawah Island at least 2 or 3 times a year! The house could be a great place for a large family like ours, had it been properly maintained!

Amazing Vacation Rental Property!

The vacation rental is fantastic. We loved the view. As the previous reviewers stated, it is very spacious. So, it worked out well for us, a family of five. We had a great time. Freshfields Village may accommodate most of your shopping needs. It has many offerings, i.e., grocery, apparel, coffee, restaurants, etc. Moreover, Kiawah Island beach was not too far from the property. The beach was terrific, clean, with no large crowds, beautiful water, and sand. Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this particular property.

Nice location, big disappointment! Neglected property.

The Kiawah gate was unable to find registration and therefore no weekly pass. Kitchen is small and refrigerator is sized for a small apartment, not the size house. Usually when we stay at Kiawah there are bikes and beach chairs. No bikes to use, three beach chairs, one all rusted and broken. The propane gas canister was empty, so at 7 pm had to drive to get it filled, at my cost. Sliding doors don't even lock, just two towels for master bathroom, for a week? insufficient dishwasher detergent, only 3 cycles??, we had to clean up spider webs, from the deck, it was covered. We have rented at Kiawah for years, THis house is neglected and the owners do not understand the concept of hospitality. All of these aspects take away from the joy of going to Kiawah. I recommend the owners and management company review this rental and mitigate these problems.

Lovely 4br House on Kiawah Island

Wyndam Vacation Rentals manages this property and was a joy to book through. They made the check-in and check out processes very easy, and the house was neat and clean. We highly recommend both the property and the management agency.

Excellent rental

My family of 9 stayed at this rental for a week and it was very nice. We loved the big living room, open kitchen, and easy 8-min walk to the beach. We didn’t use the porch very much because it was so hot. The appliances are a little older, and one stove burner didn’t work, but in general it was perfect! 5 stars

The house was good for us. The notice that we could check in early was great! We prefer West beach locale because of the convenience to the grocery store but this house was a good fit for us otherwise.
