About this property
Beautiful 4 bedroom/4 bath home with private heated pool, Discounted Fall Rates
Kiawah Island is a barrier island located approximately 20 miles south of the historic city of Charleston. Kiawah has ten miles of pristine beach and five world-class golf courses, including the famous Ocean Course. The island also provides over 30 miles of paved leisure trails, tennis, and plenty of family activities.
Our home was brand new in April, 2001. Features include an open floor plan with a two-story great room, hardwood floors throughout living area, carpeted bedrooms, and tile bathrooms. We just completed a complete kitchen renovation in January of 2020. The kitchen is fully stocked with utensils and appliances. Bed and bath linens are supplied. There are ceiling fans throughout the entire house, including the front and back porches.
Enjoy your own private pool that's ideal for families and goes from 3.5' deep to 5.5'deep. It's great for kids and adults and has plenty of seating area in it at the shallow end. The pool is heated from the beginning of April until the end of October as needed. The pool can also be heated at other times of the year for an additional fee if the temperatures are moderate enough.
In 2022 we installed a bar area heading out to the screened in porch area that has an under counter ice maker and beverage and wine cooler. The ice maker is capable of providing 25 lbs of ice per day and is ideal for those coolers to the beach or beverages at the house.
Enjoy your morning cup of coffee in one of the comfortable rocking chairs on the front porch. Spend the afternoon on the spacious, well-furnished back porch, which also features a screened-in area. Your whole family will be able to take advantage of the heated swimming pool (April until end of October), and should you choose to spend the day at the beach, it is a 15-minute walk or a seven-minute bike ride. You can rinse off the sand in the outdoor shower when you get back!
The first floor features a master suite (king-size bed) with a private bath that has a jacuzzi tub and separate glass shower. Also on the first floor is a bedroom (queen-size bed) with private bath. Move into the two-story foyer and up the stairs, and you will find two more bedrooms (queen-size bed, two double-size beds) that each have their own bathrooms and private balconies overlooking the pool.
If you are interested in entertainment, all 4 bedrooms have Flat screen HD Cable TV's. The two-story great room offers a large flat screen HD Smart TV, stereo, CD changer, and surround sound in the lower level with speakers for the rear deck. The open floor plan provides a steady flow throughout and makes it easy to socialize no matter what room of the house you're in. Have a sit-down dinner with your family at the dining room table that seats ten.
There is parking for 2 cars in the garage as well a plenty of storage for keeping the bikes and beach equipment out of site. We are also allowed parking of up to 4 vehicles in the driveway.
Kiawah is a great place to visit any time of the year with winter months being very moderate and beautiful weather for Spring, Summer and Fall. We stay on Saturday to Saturday rentals from mid May to mid September and are flexible on stays the rest of the time.

I had an amazing stay! the house, views & space was so beautiful. The pool wasn't always heated & the stove burners didn't work all the way but neither stopped us from enjoying this charming home. It was comfortable & so homey I didn't want to leave!! I will reach out for my next trip!!!
We couldn’t be more pleased with our stay. We really enjoyed the house and the pool was fantastic. Great host and we can’t wait to return!

We're glad you had a great week and hope to have you back.

Overall a nice week at the beach. Comfortable home. Kitchen well appointed with everything you need to fix a large meal. It was so hot that we spent more time at the pool than at the beach. Pool area very nice. Beds very comfortable. I realize it’s the end of the summer high season but the furniture could use a cleaning.

Thank you for the review. We do have the carpets and great room furniture cleaned twice a year when we have an open week. Unfortunately there are spills and suntan lotioned bodies sitting on the furniture between cleanings. We're glad that you enjoyed your stay and spent plenty of time in the new pool.

We're so glad you had a great stay at our home. We can understand that the distance to the beach might have been a problem with all of the little ones. We have in our discription how far from the beach we are and we provided a map of the Island with our location marked when you made the reservation. Thank you for being a guest at our home.
Matt and Kathy
The property was perfect for our 2 families. The location was great and everything we expected. The pool was such an added pleasure for everyone. The beach is close by and the island itself is so easy to get around. We definitely would rent this property again if in the area!

The Vanderhorst Plantation is a beautiful property. We enjoyed a relaxing time sitting by the pool, riding bikes on the beach and bike trails, and enjoying the Freshfield Village nearby. Looking forward to future vacations here.

About the host
Hosted by Matt & Kathy Cern
We started spending spring breaks with our family in 1992 and just fell in love with the Island. We bought our lot in 1997 and decided to build our dream vacation home in 2001. It's created so many family memories for Kathy and I as well as for our 3 children and now 7 grand children that can never be replaced.
Why they chose this property
We built the home knowing we would be doing vacation rental with it. We wanted to make sure that each bedroom had their own bathroom to offer privacy for our guests. The wide open and spacious living area allows for guests to spend time comfortably together if desired or find your own little area for some quiet time on one of the porches. It's hard to beat having your own private pool.
What makes this property unique
The pool area is very secluded and offers plenty of sun most of the year. Even in cooler weather it remains comfortable for sunning being so protected from the wind. The pool is very kid friendly with steps and seating in the shallow end.
