    We’ve been to Kiawah many times staying at various properties on Vanderhorst and this home didn’t disappoint. Very nice amenities and more space than you could ask for. Had a great Easter with the family.

    Our stay and the accommodations were excellent. We stayed for two weeks. The home had any ammenity needed. Communication with the rental agency was excellent and any need was immediately addressed. The only improvement needed is a booster on the WiFi as there were areas that WifI was lost. Would definitely recommend this rental property!

    Our family of 6 adults and 4 children (ages 9 to 14) spent a wonderful week on Kiawah. The house is spacious, the kitchen is complete, the pool and games are great for the kiddo's and the beach is an easy bike ride away. The house is situated on a street that is quiet and private. We look forward to staying here next year!
