Kiawah Island, South Carolina
This beautiful home is on the edge of the marsh and adjacent to a small part of Cinder Creek. It is located behind the second gate in Vanderhorst Community.
The pool, deck and screened porches are essentially surrounded by marsh on three sides providing maximum privacy and wonderful evening ocean breezes. Take a short bike ride to the beach in the morning, relax by the pool in the afternoon! The salt water pool and outdoor living area provide you with the complete Kiawah Island vacation experience!
The pool is 24 feet long, and has a bench along the entire length so you can relax in the water and look out across the marsh at the snowy egrets and ospreys. The deck was built around a beautiful old live oak that provides wonderful shade over the outdoor dining area.
This home has 6 bedrooms on two floors. All of the bedrooms have ceiling fans, and flat screen televisions.
The first floor has two guest suites, each with private baths. One of the suites is surrounded by windows and has a beautiful view of the marsh. It has a private door to the deck and pool, and it includes a queen size bed. The second bedroom has a king size bed.
There are four bedrooms on the second floor. The primary bedroom suite on the second floor has a king size bed, a new private screened porch overlooking the marsh and an amazing steam shower. A family suite consisting of two bedrooms is connected by a shared bath. One of these two bedrooms has a king size bed with marsh views and is literally situated in the branches of an old live oak. The other bedroom in the family suite has a queen size bed and a full size bed (located in a dormer window). The fourth (second floor) bedroom includes a king sized bed and private bath.
The downstairs living space is an open floor plan. The family room has high ceilings with windows on two story’s providing bright, southern light to the entire downstairs area. The family room is equipped with a large, 55 inch flat screen television and a Blu Ray/DVD player. We provide a wonderful selection of DVDs, games and books. The stereo system has a Bluetooth connection so you may play your music from speakers in the family room and the porch.
The kitchen is equipped for someone who loves to cook! A gas range, a new Bosch french door refrigerator, and a spacious granite island will make any chef happy! The kitchen is open to the dining area which has a long, wood farm table that seats 10-12.
Centered between the dining room and screened in porch is a lovely sun room. This is the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning as the sun is beginning its move across the marsh. Or, enjoy a good book (or a nap!) in the afternoon on the porch while still part of the action since it also opens out onto the deck and pool!
The laundry room next to the kitchen has a large washer and dryer, a small cold drink refrigerator/freezer, and a countertop oven.
The home is located behind the second gate near Osprey Point golf course and the Ocean Golf Course. It is 1.5 miles to the beach (a 10 minute bike ride or a 5 minute car ride). The best beach access points have two parking lots available making transporting beach gear and non-bike riders a breeze. This part of the beach is pristine and absolutely beautiful! We also provide beach chairs and beach toys. The garage is available and includes a ping pong table.

Staying at Julie's house made our week in Kiawah a delight. The house is lovely, clean and full of amenities that make for a great getaway. The communication throughout from both Julie and the management company was terrific. Keen to visit again.
This home exceeds all expectations. Beautiful, well equipped, super clean. Spacious living area where everyone can be together. Screened in porch off master on second floor is amazing place to read and enjoy an afternoon nap. Can’t say enough good stuff about this home. The view of the marsh from the pool is awesome.
We had a wonderful stay in late-August. We were a group of 13 - 4 couples and 5 young children. This house offered the perfect set up for our group. Four of the bedrooms had private baths and were perfect for the adults. Two bedrooms shared a bath and made them perfect for the 5 kids with everyone in a proper bed. Overall the house was really beautiful, comfortable and clean. We did not have the best weather during our stay and it made it especially important to enjoy being at home. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking tools and ample dishes. The pool was small but very comfortable and nice to have when we wanted to take advantage of a short spurt of sunshine. The beach is a bit of a distance (1.5 miles) so trekking with lots of chairs was not ideal for our group BUT the house made it as easy as possible. There was a huge selection of chairs and pool toys as well as carts that could be attached to bikes for transport. It was really nice to have all of this on hand. Another option is to rent chairs and umbrellas on the beach so you could avoid this easily. The owner, Julie, was super helpful and responsive when we had questions. Overall they made the rental experience especially positive. This is definitely a great spot to vacation. We love Kiawah and loved our stay in this home!
The house is just as advertised, very spacious, large bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms, fully stocked and perfect for our group. The pool overlooks marshes in the back and is very serene and quiet.
We have visited Kiawah many times through the past 35 years and have stayed in the original Kiawah Inn, in condos, cottages and homes. This year was the first time we were able to enjoy our vacation with our children and all our grandchildren in one home. Truely a home that accommodates all comfortably. This home was well equipped, lovely location, beautiful deck and pool. My family enjoyed their stay!
Beautiful, spacious and quiet. The ocean was a short bike ride away. The private pool at the house was wonderful. I would stay here again.
Felt our experience was one of the best in our 19th summer vacation at Kiawah. Loved the pool. House was full of extras that made our stay more special: night lights, pool accessories, beach chairs and portable carrier - (even a cooler to use) were made available, great games, books and movies, cable and internet access, great cooking utensils and appliances. We had a couple of house issues and the owners couldn’t have been more helpful. They felt with our problem quickly and thoroughly. We were all very happy with our week and it made for wonderful memories!!
We had a wonderful time in Kiawah. The home was perfect for our 3 families with children ranging from 8months to 16yo. The pool was used every day by the children. The kitchen was spacious and very well stocked and supplied if not more! Definite rent bikes as you can do and see much more of Kiawah on the bike trails. Local restaurants are accomodating and delicious. There is a Harris Teeter 15minutes from the house which is very convenient.
Property was clean and just as described. Owner was great at communicating with us and very responsive. A little too far to the beach for the group we were with. Some physically handicapped older people and 3 year old could not walk the 2 miles to the beach or ride a bike and our attempts to rent a golf cart were unsuccessful. In fact, I never saw a golf cart on the island except on the golf course. So we drove to the beach each day and there were no facilities or concessions anywhere near the beach. More suitable for younger generations. Beautiful house and beautiful beach. At $9,000 for the week, it seemed a bit pricey for the location.
Our family loved our stay in this beautiful home. The house is bright and spacious. Super spacious. The kitchen is super and wonderfully equipped. Really the whole house was well appointed. Six spacious bedrooms which easily accommodated our party of 8 adults and 5 kids. And everyone really loved the pool! The owner and management company were easily reachable for and responsive to questions. Overall a fabulous week.
