The house is amazing. Very comfortable. Lots of space. Perfectly situated inside of Kiawah in Vanderhorst plantation. Quiet neighborhood and a quick 2 minute walk down the boardwalk to the beach. We will definitely return!

Reviewer Comments:
The house was great and views even better than expected. It is truly is high up in the trees and there's plenty of screening from the neighbors. The location is ideal as its in the middle of the island close to the Sanctury and a short drive or bike to the ocean course. Only thing I would note is that with the height there are a lot of steps. We had 4 people in their 70's but by the end of the trip they actually like getting the exercise from the steps. But a elevator is available if needed. Also, house was very clean.

Outstanding location, ocean view and access to beach.
Property provides easy access to beach and great ocean views from huge deck. Lost power one day and property managers were unreachable. Repeated calls, nothing but voicemail. Messages were never answered. No return calls. Finally repaired by city electrical service after calling an emergency maintenance number. Good internet and is a good gathering accommodation for a family.

Thank you so much for your feedback on our lovely seaside treehouse home! I apologize you were unable to reach out office during the power outage, our office line is connected to our internet server and so when there is a power outage it may be unreachable for a time until power is restored. We do have the emergency maintenance line for that reason and that is reachable 24 hours even in power outages. Power restoration must be done by the electric company and they are usually very prompt to get us all up and running which we greatly appreciate!

Reviewer Comments:
The house is very spacious and the kitchen had all the things we needed. That being said, we did have issues with the master suite. We had a couple of rainy days and the wall of windows facing the ocean leaked quite profusely. We had to put out plastic bowls to catch the water. We also use towels brought to us by property management.The jacuzzi in the master didn't work. We were surprised that since the leak was so bad, that is hadn't been dealt with before. We also were surprised there was no adjustment for the stay based on what we had to do to protect property and that our clothes in the suitcases had to be lifted to off the ground. If you rent his property be sure to ask if these issues have been resolved. There were a few bugs but I think this is a beach thing.

This was our family’s third trip to Kiawah this year.This home was by far the best. Loved the upstairs living area and the view was incredible. Beach access was so easy with having the boardwalk straight to the sand. One thing I may recommend- send a crew through the the sand between end of boardwalk and beach to remove sand spur plants!

Visited with another couple. Clearly way more house than needed but really wanted to have beach access. Yoga at sunrise, and lovely sunsets. House was very clean, well stocked (no Keurig pods) and would return.
Had a reunion with our 3 30 something’s and their spouses and had a great stay. House is set up for 4 couples…all own. bedrooms and baths. Had a blast

This is a perfect location for a family vacation at Kiawah Island! There are tons of stairs but an elevator available in the house. The home is in need of overall maintenance. Dishwasher didn’t clean dishes, dirty dishes in cabinets, faucet handles falling off, leaking faucets , smelly shower drains, no light in refrig , handles on ventahood falling off, boardwalk to beach a bit overgrown. and just generally not in good shape for $11,000 a week.

another great week at 86 Surfsong! Bring on '23!
Loved the beach view and the sound of the waves from the beautiful porch. Wished there was an umbrella on the table on the porch due to full sun all day, but we LOVED the house and porch.

Perfect. Our own boardwalk to the beach and it truly is a "Treehouse." A lot to exercise. About 200 steps a day. Beautiful views. ESPM staff (Crystal) was amazingly responsive. Absolutely the only issue was with the grill. The ignition didn't work. ESPM provided long lighters, but I had to remove the very dirty grill in order to light them. Very messsy. Everything else was magical.
Definitely recommend. Well outfitted with linens, kitchen place settings, and cooking needs. A few leftover spices in kitchen would have been a plus. Who remembers spices?
This spacious, well-kept beach home is every bit of what is advertised. The enormous deck, kitchen, dining room and living room all have ocean views and a walk on the beach is just down the private boardwalk. The $300 credit for bike and beach equipment rentals really came in handy since our family biked to markets, tennis and pickle ball courts on the well-maintained bike paths. Thank you for an amazing stay for people ranging from their 20s to nearly 60. We look forward to returning!
We rented the house for a guys golf weekend and it was perfect. Plenty of room, very nice inside and out, private boardwalk down to the beach, amazing views, and a short drive to all the courses on the island. We loved it and would definitely stay there again.

We had the most enjoyable time with friends from the West Coast, North Carolina, and the Atlanta, Georgia area. Total relaxation, with the beautiful scenery. The house was beautiful, comfortable and clean. All the rooms and decks were enjoyable. We enjoyed the beach close proximity for morning and afternoon walks. I look forward to our next visit to Kiawah Island. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!

UNBELIEVABLE home! I’ve been coming to Kiawah for 37 years (we came on our honeymoon and been back ever since!) This home was very well appointed and our family of 10 had their own space snd porch. The outdoor seating was very spacious and the views unparalleled! My favorite house ever!
