Perfect home for Easter Getaway

We’ve been to Kiawah many times staying at various properties on Vanderhorst and this home didn’t disappoint. Very nice amenities and more space than you could ask for. Had a great Easter with the family.

Your private retreat!

Our family of 6 adults and 4 children (ages 9 to 14) spent a wonderful week on Kiawah. The house is spacious, the kitchen is complete, the pool and games are great for the kiddo's and the beach is an easy bike ride away. The house is situated on a street that is quiet and private. We look forward to staying here next year!

Kiawah getaway

Our stay and the accommodations were excellent. We stayed for two weeks. The home had any ammenity needed. Communication with the rental agency was excellent and any need was immediately addressed. The only improvement needed is a booster on the WiFi as there were areas that WifI was lost. Would definitely recommend this rental property!

Two very minor recommendations: Let folks know the game tables are in the garage and it would be nice to have mini moo creamers for the coffee in the morning for those that arrive late and cannot get to the store in advance. very minor suggestions.:

Wonderful house and fantastic renter!

The house was so nice and clean. Pool was heated as requested and there was lots of entertainment for kids when weather wasn’t great (games, ping pong, foosball, darts, etc). When we felt like we had a problem with the heater (which we didn’t) the leaser came right over and helped to address the isssue (which there actually wasn’t one). Robin was very responsive and helpful. Couldn’t recommend the house more! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful House

Been staying at Kiawah for a week each summer for about 20 years - we usually do a different house each time. 50 Salt Cedar is a beautiful house, with great layout - right at about 1.5 miles by bike to beach which was fine with us. Loved the pool and pingpong table also. In prior years, we have been sent the gate pass to get thru gate initially via email - I would recommend doing that if possible. The line to get in on Saturday afternoon was horrible.
