About this house rental
This five bedroom, five and a half bath home on Forestay Court has been completely renovated and has it all. This beautiful residence, just steps away from the beach access path, is the perfect family vacation home.
The fully equipped, gourmet kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, granite countertops, top of the line appliances and a separate icemaker. Everything in this exquisite home has been updated to include hardwood floors, beautifully tiled bathrooms, open light-filled spaces and vaulted ceilings.
The main floor of the home welcomes you with a gas fireplace and large, open living room perfect for family gathering. Adjacent you will find the expansive kitchen and pantry, dining room and keeping area that open, through four sets of French doors, onto the pool deck. The kitchen has plenty of seating for eight at the large farm table and four at the center island.
The expansive pool deck includes a built-in grill space with both a gas grill and a Big Green Egg. Teak lounge chairs and dining furniture provide a wonderful space to relax and enjoy the sun. The private salt water pool and spa are surrounded by trees and sunshine! During the colder months the pool and/or spa can be heated for a fee. If this of interest to you, please let us know prior to check-in. The enclosed outdoor shower is perfect for easy clean up after a fun day in the sand. A retractable cover is available for the pool if you have little ones and would prefer the ability to open and close it at your discretion.
This home offers two king master suites with large closets, two sink areas, and walk in showers with body sprays and rain heads. One master has a soaking tub and separate water closet. Two additional king bedrooms with private bathrooms are located just down the hall. The Bunk Room offers full and twin beds. A pack and play is also available if needed.
The most cherished space in the home is the large screened porch. You can dine al fresco while enjoying the sound of waves crashing and the ocean breeze. The porch swing bed is the perfect place to read a book, take a nap or enjoy a fall football game on the 55” HDTV.
A state of the art audio/visual system will enable you to play your own music, watch television, and enjoy wireless internet throughout the home. Each bedroom is equipped with a flat screen cable HDTV while Blu-Ray players are provided in the living room and the Bunk Room. All equipment is extremely user friendly.

The house is amazing. Great location. Well equipped kitchen. Plenty of room for 12 of us. Pool was wonderful.
We could have done without the hurricane Debby and tornado and high winds and dangerous surf!! But we made the best of it and still enjoyed our trip

We had an absolutely beautiful vacation at this home. It was well equipped and incredibly comfortable with plenty of room, spacious living space and a beautiful inground swimming pool. Also, it was a very short walk to the beach. The owner was great to work with and management company was very attentive. On one of the days, the air conditioner that cooled part of the house had stopped working. They had someone out to repair it in less than half an hour
We will definitely be back again!

This was our third time at this house and after this stay we will definitely not be returning. We had minor issues the first two years but this year was way worse. The house was not clean at all. There are multiple stains on the carpets, bedspreads and mold on the shower curtains. I know it is normal to have some insects around and in the house during this time of year but we had was unacceptable amount. There were spider webs all inside the house. Within the first two days we killed approximately 12 massive spiders. We found spiders coming out of the beams in the ceiling of the family room and multiple spider eggs around the ceiling. We killed multiple other bugs throughout the house during the week. The dryer never worked properly. We called the property manager and they came and said they fixed the issue but it still didn’t work for the remainder of the week. The property manager and owner of the home do not return emails regarding your concerns with the house. I would not recommend paying such a high cost for a weekly house rental with a house in this condition.

This home was amazing! The thoughtfulness of the furnishings a gift. Fully equipped from kitchen, to bedrooms, to the beach supplies! The screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee! The pool was wonderful…with shade for the ones who wanted shade and sun for others!

This house has everything you will need to have a great vacation at the beach. Love the 4 king bedrooms with their own bath. The layout was perfect for our two families who were traveling together.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is beautiful and was perfect for our extended family. We loved the proximity to the beach and the elevator was something we really needed for my 90 year old parents.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home on Kiawah Island in the fall. It was the perfect “home away from home” for our 3 families to share while we were there to attend a wedding. So many activities to enjoy during our weekend together … golf, pickleball, walks on the beach and exploratory bike rides. Only wish we could have stayed longer!
4.7
We have a lovely stay with 3 families including young children. The home was in excellent condition and well appointed with everything needed for a beach stay. Location was also a big plus. Had some trouble with the pool heater but the property manager was timely and helpful in resolving the issue. Would book again!

Pluses : Great location ! house was clean and comfortable - good communication with property manager;
Minuses: 1. Hot tub - not heated: to have heated was extra cost-this was unclear in listing- for the price of rental felt that heated hot tub should be included; 2. Both large trash cans were overflowing upon arrival.
4.7
We loved the property and the ease of getting to the beach. There were 10 of us and we never felt crowded or that we didn’t have our own space. The porch was a lovely morning spot for coffee and evening space to listen to the sound of the ocean and frogs. Several deer came by every day. It was just peaceful. Our kids enjoyed their bunk room, pool and ice machine!
We would definitely stay at this property again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this beautiful house! Proximity to beach and anything else you’d like to do on Kiawah is perfect. The layout was great for our multi-generational family group – large, well furnished living spaces, an amazing kitchen, and quiet bedrooms which allowed everyone to sleep in if desired. Particularly appreciated the well-stocked kitchen given our cooking-centric family – it even came with a fully stocked spice cabinet and a pot large enough for our low country boil. The pool area was great and the screen porch perfect for watching TV, dining, or taking a nap. Can’t say enough good things about this house and dealing with owners was a pleasure. Highly recommended!

It had been three years since our last family vacation. But the good news is our grandchildren are old enough now to really enjoy the beautiful swimming pool. It was unseasonably chilly so we requested to have the pool heated. They swam every morning, afternoon and evening!
The house was the perfect size for our family and very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped thankfully because we cooked all meals except one during the week.
The location is amazing…5 minute walk and you are on the beach!
We will visit again but hoping it won’t be three more years!

The house was very clean and mostly well-appointed. Our biggest disappointment was the pool/spa. We found it to be a mess and not working - the property manager had a total of 4 visits arranged and it was never properly functioning until 7pm on Saturday evening - we left Sunday morning. It stated there were 6 beach chairs - they are in very poor, rusty condition - would recommend visitors to rent them.
4.7
Great location, house was very well appointed (kitchen, linens, beach gear, etc). Only issue was the master shower had no hot water (valve on temperature adjustment mechanism). This can certainly happen, and maintenance took care of it on try #2, but the owner knew of this problem and it’s history. Replace the hardware so others don’t have to hassle with this issue.

We loved staying in this home in August 2021 for our family vacation to Kiawah. The house was clean with lots of space for the family to spread out in. Has a great pool and outdoor lounging and eating areas, an awesome walk-in master closet for those of us who don’t travel light :), and an exceptionally well equipped kitchen which we really appreciated. It is a few minutes walk to the beach, and super close to bike trail access. A neighbor was building a new home next door while we stayed there but we only heard moderate builder noise one morning. Overall it was very quiet and peaceful!

While the location was fantastic and the home clearly has potential, it fell well short of our expectations.
1. Propane Out and Smelly: On the last day of our stay, the propane tank apparently ran out of propane rendering the hot water heater, dishwasher and stove useless. This impacted our ability to take warm showers, use the stove for cooking, etc. Additionally, as we learned, when a propane tank runs low, the oil at the bottom of the tank gives out a distinctive unpleasant odor. The odor filled the house on our last full-day and the day we left. We became aware of the issue when an alarm went off on the hot water heater at 10pm. Maintenance dispatched Roto-Rooter to the house around 11:00 pm. Roto-Rooter said the alarm was due to no propane, turned off the gas line to the heater & left.
2. Access to Screened Porch unavailable due to broken handle. Doors to outside left open by maintenance workers.
3. Toilet in Master Bath Not Properly Working - 24 hrs to fix it.
4. Pool area was filty - we cleaned it.
Accès to beach was great but beware of property condition.
4.7
Property manager is wonderful and tried their best but the list of issues with this house is extensive.
Besides the issues below the construction noise surrounding the house is unbearable. We had to leave the property. There is construction on 3 houses surrounding this house. The owner should have told me prior to check in.
Here is the rest of the list.
Internet spotty
- cleanliness poor
Pool not cleaned
-ac leaked on kitchen floor and kitchen ac not working.
- both master showers didn't work for 2 dates
- had to call to get elevator to work.
These are all things that should have been checked before check in.
I know things go wrong with houses but the construction noises should have been disclosed.
4.7
This is an excellent property with high quality amenities. Everything is fist class and its way better than any high class hotel.
I can't wait to return !

Could not have been happier with this home. It accommodated 4 couples with its 4 king size master suites. The house was well appointed and was very clean! We will definitely be visiting again.

Family Vacation
This was an incredible week staying at a gorgeous property. The house, location, and everything was lovely. The only issue was the construction across the street and next door which was loud.
4.7
The house was perfect for our family of 10…6 adults and 4 children. Each adult and spouse had their own bedroom with en-suite and the children shared the bunk room. The house is fully equipped. The outside pool deck with grills, pool and spa provided many hours of entertainment. The elevator is perfect for sending all luggage up from the parking level. There is adequate beach equipment for the kids. There is a bit of noise from construction behind the house but the waterfall and spa noise from the pool minimized it. We loved our stay on Kiawah in this beautiful home!

Vanderhorst Plantation had everything our family needed! Nice comfortable layout in the house with plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was very well equipped. When not at the very accessible beach, we were hanging out in the spacious screened porch and beautiful pool area.

Pleased to say the house was as nice when we arrived as the photos suggested. Plenty of room for everyone and the floor plan provided plenty of privacy when needed. The pool was indispensable for the kids and the walk to the beach was quick and easy. First time we tried renting a home for a family get together and we’re very happy we did.

Great home… we really enjoyed the screened porch and swing. The pool was perfect for our younger guest who was 4. She went from the pool to the spa and then back to the pool. Rebecca at the management company was great. The home was very clean. I would definitely stay here again.

Was a fairly quiet weekend on the island, but we thoroughly enjoyed the facilities. We spent half of our days at the ocean and half in the heated pool. Was so nice to have sufficient room for two families of 5.

What a great house, what a beautiful beach! We had a fabulous trip to Kiawah and really enjoyed this house. 3rd row from the beach...easy walk. Very private neighborhood and lot. The house is amazing, fully equipped kitchen, beach chairs, bedrooms are huge and very comfortable for multiple families. We plan to be back!

Our group of 8 adult friends/couples all enjoyed our stay at this beautiful updated home. The home was a short walk to the beach. We rented bikes, shopped in the village, enjoyed the pool/hot tub and cooked in the well stocked kitchen. All agree we would stay here again.
