About this property

NEW! Adorable home close to beach with gorgeous lagoon and golf course view

Just listed 6/24/19 after a recent purchase and renovation. First time on the rental market. We look forward to welcoming you to our peaceful haven! Wake up and enjoy the beautiful lagoon and Osprey Course view surrounded by lovely, mature palm and oak trees dripping with Spanish moss before starting your day in wonderful Kiawah Island. Enjoy an easy, ~5 minute bike ride to the beach under ancient oak trees down the Allee of the Oaks path of the orignal Vanderhorst Plantation. After a day at Kiawah’s famed beach, golfing or kayaking, sit back and relax to the breeze on the screened porch. There is a good chance you’ll capture a view of the abundant wildlife and striking evening sky before retiring to a night’s rest in this four bedroom home set back from Governors Drive. Situated in a fabulously central location behind the second gate in Vanderhorst Plantation yet offering easy access to everything Kiawah has to offer, including the beach, golfing, the Sanctuary and the Ocean Course.

The host was responsive and the accommodations were comfortable. However, we found several areas that could use improvement. We hadn't been to Kiawah before. We could have used some background info about getting around, things to do, where to eat, etc. The peeling wallpaper, dark entry and the broken shower door were distracting from the beautiful setting of the home. Since we were only there for 3 nights, we would have appreciated some basics in the kitchen: coffee, tea, etc. Need instructions for the thermostat too.

We spent an amazing 4 weeks at this home. The views were amazing, the house was spacious, and it had everything we needed to relax and enjoy our time. There is a bonus bedroom above the garage that was awesome for the kids to spend some time together. It’s close to a bike path that takes you right to the beach. Highly recommend. Would stay again.

Family Home on Kiawah Island

Family of five +1 rented this home on Kiawah Island for two weeks. Description was spot on, property was a great choice for our family, set of parents, 3 adult sons 18-23 and one girlfriend, Everyone had their own area for privacy. Close to all, bike to beach, even biked to inland charter fishing excursion off of dock at Rhetts Bluff on Kiawah and of course close to golf. Property owner was extremely responsive. Would consider renting again.

We loved this house and will definitely be back! The house is in a great location and a quick bike ride to the beach. 4 great bikes were also provided. All of the beds are very comfortable with plenty of room for a big family! My girls especially loved the big bunk room above the garage. The owners are so nice and checked on us a few times to make sure we were enjoying our stay. They were very responsive if we ever contacted them as well. We will be back!!!

Kiawah 2023

Renovation was done well. House is nicely laid out for families with multiple aged guests as there are bedrooms on both sides of the home. Good for two small families. I did not like the location right on a main road and the driveway is laid out in a complicated way. The host was excellent in both communication and responsiveness.

Blissful!

This our 8th family visit to Kiawah Island, and we loved every minute this year. Beautiful house, great location and peaceful backyard view. The hostess, Jill, is so accommodating. The other half of our family stayed at the property across the street. It was fun for everyone, and especially nice that the cousins and grandchildren could easily go back and forth. I especially liked that the beach bike path is right there. Can’t wait for next year! This set up worked for us and we’ll all be back!

Just what we needed!

Given the COVID-19 pandemic, my family and I needed a place to get away ... even if we were going to keep working, we needed some new scenery and Osprey Breeze fit that bill perfectly. We drove up to a beautiful house with bicycles that have cheery baskets and my daughters were delighted. Walking into the house, you see the beautiful lagoon with the perfectly situated live oak that has Spanish moss hanging off of it; a beautiful site for eyes that had been fixed on the inside for months. We had everything we needed for our week stay. Comfy beds, plenty of towels, well appointed kitchen, beautiful views. The house is just .5 mile from Flyaway Drive and a great path to beach access (just a 1 mile bike ride). And, the alligator who came to be in our family pictures was fun as well as the deer, birds and squirrels kept us fascinated. The Owners were a delight ... there was an issue with the cable and they contacted the utility who came out and repaired it quickly. They were available quickly for any other questions we had. I loved sitting in the screened in porch or on the steps of the deck listening the birds, feeling the breeze, hearing the golfers on the fairway across the lagoon. We will be back!

Great Layout, Wonderfully Responsive Owner

This is a well-laid out house in a perfect location. It is within the second gate (which is a plus for me) and a lovely, easy, welcome bike ride to the beach. Also easy ride to the Sanctuary Resort and its amenities. There was ample room for 7 people (ages 19 - 52) and I love that, unlike so many rentals, it wasn't just a sea of queen beds. It would be an easy house to have younger kids in as well - two of the bathrooms are accessible to all. Perhaps most importantly, the owner was responsive before and during our stay - ready to offer guidance and answer questions. It really felt like staying at a friend's house.

About the host

Hosted by JJ

Host profile image
25 years after one of our first date and many yearly, memorable visits later, Kiawah Island has become a second home to our family. We love it here and hope to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

The home represents all we love about Kiawah Island. A classic Kiawah home surrounded by a beautiful view and quick access to the beach made this the perfect beach home for us. It’s our peaceful retreat! We love the beautiful, shaded Allee of Oaks Path that leads to the beach. For us, it’s a treat to experience this lovely, historic path under the tall oak trees and Spanish moss.
