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 House
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!

We had a fabulous week at Kiawah! Your beautiful home was a retreat in itself. We found everything we needed and more. We have been visiting Kiawah for 25 years and have stayed in many different properties over the years. Yours wins the prize! I especially appreciated the extras: all the special kitchen appliances, vases for flowers, a tablecloth, books, games, beach toys and chairs. The super size bath tubs were wonderful!!! We were not able to get online with the computer. We had a laptop with us, so that was not a problem for us, but your next guests might like to use the internet. We did receive several phone calls from companies trying to sell satellite dishes, insurance, etc. You will be glad to know we did not sign up for any of the come-ons. Your housekeeper does a good job. Everything was sparkling clean when we arrived. I think we neglected to sign your guest book, but we would have written that we found our bliss!

Kiawah Island was our destination Marathon for this year. We call ourselves the Running Family and your home was the perfect place for the 'family' to spend the weekend and relax after running 26.2 miles for some of us, 13.1 miles for the rest. We traveled from Fort Worth, TX and found South Carolina beautiful and the people as friendly as we have in Texas. Be well and thanks!

Can't believe how fast the week goes when you're on vacation! We had a great time - several days with heavy rain off & on, but lots of nice weather too. Actually, I think it was overall less hot and humid than we've experienced before at Kiawah. Everyone loved the pool; the walk to the ocean was easy; and the home was perfect for our needs.We appreciagted having three full baths and found everything we needed in the kitchen to prepare our traditional frogmore stew with the great local shrimp and fresh corn! Thanks for a wonderful week.

We've had a wonderful time in your beautiful house. We enjoyed the pool, beach, bike rides and long evenings on the porch and deck watching the wildlife (deer). My sister, who is visiting us from Germany, and her daughter saw their first wild alligator! Thanks!!
