About this property

Newly Renovated 5/5.5 With Private Pool. Steps To Boardwalk!

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 lower level has garage parking for two cars, ample storage, an additional refrigerator/freezer, a commercial ice maker, and a ping pong table. There is an elevator available for handicap accessibility. RBL19-006890

The property lay-out is exceptional and the proximity to the beach ideal. We had a few issues due to heavy rains but were able to work through all our issues quickly and effectively with the property manager.

78 Forestay Court was a great house for a large group of our family! It was immaculate, had great bedroom accommodations and a terrifically stocked kitchen for the chefs in our family! One of our party had a mobility issue and this house was perfection for him! The elevator came in very handy and having the bedrooms on one level was ideal. We will be returning again.

The perfect “home away from home” …

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!

Great property

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!

Wonderful stay!

House was great! I have stayed in many different properties in Kiawah, many were homes that were only a few years old. This house had everything! We cook a lot of meals there and it had everything you could possibly need, that’s not the case with most rentals. The property manager responded quickly with a minor issue. It was a 3 minute walk to the beach. The pool and screened in porch were very nice. The house was very comfortable. No complaints!

Wonderful Vacation

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!

Friends vacation

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.

Fantastic house in a great location

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!

Wonderful family trip

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!

Family Vacation

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.

The nicest home we have rented over the years!

This was our 3rd year renting this home. 5 bedrooms all on one floor each with its on bathroom. Well appointed kitchen. Light on counter top space, but plenty if only one or two cooks. Wonderful pool just outside the kitchen/family/screened porch area. Easy 300 step walk to a very private beach(for close-by owners and their renters). Brand new gas grill this year. You can tell the owner wants the guests to feel right at home. We love this home.

Three’s a charm but way too long.

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!
