This Kiawah Island vacation rental, located in Vanderhorst Plantation, is an updated home with plenty of room for the whole family. It features seven bedrooms, a private pool, and is a 15-minute bike ride to the beach. This home now offers a Tesla Charger in the garage for guest use.
Enter the main living area and immediately notice the details- coffered ceiling, archways, brick accent wall, built-in shelving, and a view of the pool area through glass double doors and large windows. Relax on the comfortable sofa and two chairs while visiting with friends and family or while watching TV on the large flat-screen TV. The updated kitchen has white and blue cabinets, a large center island with seating for 5, a patterned backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and is equipped with everything needed to make a meal. Adjacent to the kitchen is the round dining table that seats 6. There is also a sunroom with a sofa and two chairs.
The large, first-floor primary suite features a king bed, access to the pool deck, seating for 2, and access to a private bathroom with his and her sinks, walk-in shower with bench, and soaking tub. The second floor features four bedrooms, all with private bathrooms with tiled walk-in showers. Two of the bedrooms have king-sized beds and access to a shared balcony. There is also a queen bedroom and another king bedroom. On the third floor, the remaining two bedrooms both feature two full-sized beds each and share a bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower. One bedroom has direct access to the bathroom, but it can also be accessed from the hallway.

The back deck features lounge seating, a pool that is roughly 20 ft long, with a depth of 6 ft. Guests can enjoy a friendly game of ping pong in the garage.

The pool has a gas heater, so the pool may be heated in cooler months for an additional fee of $75 per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available.

This place was perfect for our large family vacation. Beach access was very convenient and having a pool for afternoon entertainment was perfect. This was the most well stocked kitchen we have ever rented. We had an excellent stay and very much enjoyed all the conveniences of Akers Ellis rentals!

Very nice property with lots of room. The back pool patio was a little tight, but that was expected as it showed well on the photos

Very spacious, and clean home. We all enjoyed our stay and were happy to see extra chairs to fit several of us around the dining table. The little sun room was also nice for overflow. We all enjoyed all the bike paths in the area.
If we had any issue, it would be not being able to park the cars near the board walks to access the beach.
We enjoyed staying at the Kiawah Island rental home. It was lovely and perfect for our group. It was centrally located and was a lovely layout. Everyone had plenty of space & the kit h & dining area was large enough for our group. I did have a couple of issues. Is there someone who could reach out to me? Thank you!!

Reviewer Comments:
The home is beautifully built, decorated and maintained. There is plenty of room for everything and the layout works perfectly for large groups. The only criticism would be the cleaning company that services the house. We had to move the dining room table and clean up dirt, coins and beer tabs.

Everything about the house and location was amazing. Kitchen was well stocked, beds were soft and comfortable, everything was spotless. Unfortunately we did pay to heat the pool and that definitely didn’t seem to have happened. Outside of that no complaints.

Thank you for your feedback. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed this property. Unfortunately, we do not show that you elected or paid to have the pool heated so that's why it was not warm. We apologize for any confusion regarding that.
4 story house but elevator remained broken. They worked on it the first day but no more. We paid extra to have pool heated but some furniture at pool was unusable without cushions and it was taking up a lot of deck space. We asked that they get lounge cushions or move the wooden slatted unusable loungers. They lied and said it was the furniture that was pictured but it wasn’t. Claimed they couldn’t move them so we could have enough space for our family to sit so my 60 year old self moved them. For what we paid that was poor customer service. Lauren was helpful.

We are truly sorry to hear of your continued disappointment. After reviewing with our team and the property manager for the home. We can confirm that the elevator is now repaired. Unfortunately, we could not have predicted issues with it during your stay and from our understanding, you opted not to want to have it fixed for fear of someone getting stuck. While the furniture on the patio has indeed changed somewhat since photos were taken, the furniture now present also do not have or require cushions. These are items that we do not keep in stock and our team was unable to obtain for your stay. We are again sorry for the disappointment you experienced throughout your stay, but do feel that we our team did our best to assist throughout your five night stay. We are also pleased that the guests we have had in the home since your stay have not had similar experiences or disappointments to report.
Our only complaint was the A/C unit on 2nd floor didn’t cool below 76 degrees, though we had technician out twice. Glad this was not July! Otherwise the home was beautiful, spacious, clean and perfectly located.

Thank you for taking a moment to leave your comments! Unfortunately, there was an error and the thermostats needed to be reset and reprogrammed. I am pleased to see that our team was able to get out there extremely quickly after both requests for maintenance came in from your party and were able to get everything working property for your weekend stay!
I rented this property to accommodate a group of friends as my house on Kiawah is under renovation. None of them had visited the island before. They all enjoyed both the visit and the lodging. The house has plenty of room and great common spaces.
This home was actually more than we expected. It was clean and had plenty of room for our family. The kids Loved the pool. The checkin and checkout process was so easy. Definitely recommend.
The house was beautiful and exactly as the listing and photos described. We had 4 adult couples, 7 kids and plenty of space. The number of bathrooms made showering up after the beach super convenient, each one with good water pressure and we never lacked for hot water. Two washing machines was a big bonus with lots of kids hitting the pool and beach daily. The location was lovely, less than a 10 minute bike ride to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay!
We were eight ladies coming down for a tennis trip. Had a great time! Nice location, spacious beautiful home, perfect getaway.
Plan to return!

This home was amazing in so many ways. I ended up fracturing my foot before we got to SC so the fact that the home had an elevator made it so easy for me to move around in the house. My family and I absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was so beautiful and breathtaking. The hospitality was heartwarming. We definitely want to go back

Reviewer Comments:
The house renovation and layout is great. We loved the colors, the way the bedrooms and bathrooms were renovated, and spaced out. We had plenty of space and were very comfortable. The house, for the most part, felt new and was well equipped with toiletries, hairdryers, etc.. The furniture is worn and some need replacing. We stayed for almost 2 months and did encounter a lot of issues. Given the pandemic and the situation, the management company was a bit inconsistent at addressing our concerns.
The home is exactly as represented in photos and there were additional pleasant surprises, like family games, speakers and a ping pong table for fun. The property management and beach rental companies were extremely responsive and helpful. Location was perfect and within walking distance to beach. We would highly recommend staying here for your time in Kiawah.
