Map & Owner's Profile
Turtles-Inn - Perfect for Family Reunions and Golf Groups!
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Vanderhorst Plantation
We became enchanted with Kiawah one spring break when we drove up the east coast from Florida looking for the perfect place for a second home. When we arrived on Kiawah, we knew our search was over. It wasn’t any one particular thing – it was everything. For the girls, it was the beach. For Peter, it was the golf, and the biking. For Mary, it was the fact that the island is a nature conservancy. Alligators, turtles, bobcats, oh my! And for all of us, it was the serenity of a Kiawah sunrise, and the dolphins playing on the strand at Captain Sam’s inlet.
The Unique Benefits at this Two Family Home
We don’t operate rental units – we open our homes to new friends. If you stay in our home we want you to feel right at home yourself. If we accomplish that, we have succeeded. We believe that you will find each of our homes to be the perfect base for exploring Kiawah and having the vacation of a lifetime. If there is anything you need, just let us know!

Thank yoo so much for sharing your wonderful home. Our families had a marvelous time! We are a very active bunch. We biked, ran,swan, and kayacked every day. One day the guys even kayaked back from Charleston! 28 miles, in total, with a trip around Fort Sumter. Hope to see you again in the near future.

Thank you so much for your hospitality. We loved the location; close to the beach, the clubhouse, and driving range. And of course, the gators.

Thank you for sharing your lovely house with us. I had a great time, despite my abysmal golf. My only regret is that I didn't take you up earlier on your offer to visit. Kiawah is a great place to visit. I enjoyed the beach, the scenic golf courses, and especially the tranquility.I can't remember ever being in a quieter, more peaceful spot. I had a wonderful time.

What a special treat to enter your home and find Scripture on the walls! Our family felt an instant bond although we've never met. The house(s) were perfect for our little family reunion and we enjoyed every minute. It was a great place to relish and reflect on the goodness of the Lord to us all. We hope to be back again soon with grandchild #14! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to spend time together in these beautiful surroundings.

We just want to take a moment out of our wonderful vacation to say Thank You! We are having a great time as it is approaching the end. This was our fourth year back and has been very memorable. Your home is great - love the location with the pool so close by and the beach is great. The house is very accomodating - it is a great home and I hope to have the pleasure of renting again next year - as I said, the location is great. Well, off to the pool - again! Thank you!

The weather was hot & HUMID, which made us northerners almost melt a couple of days. Lots of beach and pool time punctuated by family dinners/gatherings. A few local birding excursions yielded some southern specialties like Painted Bunting, Mississippi Kite, and the ubiquitous Carolina Wren and Chickadee. The Nature Center had some nice displays and the observation tower on Blue Heron Pond Road is a good view. Our trip to Fort Sumter was very good - though stay a while and wait for the next tour boat. The villa here at Ocean Green is luxurious and the people were very friendly. There is plenty to do,whether staying on the island or venturing out to Charleston (use River Road!) When visiting central New Hampshire, stop by Central Baptist Church for fellowship, worship and friendship! Rom:5:23 & 6:23 & 5:8 & 10:9-13. Acts:4:12

Thanks for sharing your beautiful home! The beach was great & golf was a test of endurance. The time we spent with our extended family here at Kiawah after the recent passing of our Aunt Sandra was comforting. Thank you again for sharing your home!

Well, the week started out very grim with all the locals telling us this was the coldest Easter they have had in years. But by the weekend the temps got into the 70's and the beach could not have been better. We missed the snow in Chicago too, so that is even better. The kids loved Kiawah and asked if we could move here - that's a pretty good reveiw. If only the golf was a little more reasonably priced! Thanks for a great time.

It's Saturday morning and we're sadly packing up. We have spent 21 spring breaks on Kiawah and this was one of the finest.The grand-children spent many wonderful hours on the beach and our whole family did lots of fun cycling. The house was perfect for us and we thank you for making it available! we'll come back next year, Lord willing.
