The Birdie - Luxury Kiawah Beach House - Private Pool!

The Birdie is tucked away on a serene culdesac, a hidden gem in the highly coveted Vanderhost Plantation area of Kiawah Island, South Carolina. The 5-bedroom house features a large backyard pool and hot tub—guests have the ability to heat or chill the pool for year-round enjoyment.

The home underwent an extensive renovation in 2023-2024, with high-end finishes chosen to create an airy and comfortable beach home. Designed with luxurious beach-style living in mind, The Birdie comfortably accommodates large groups with its open floor plan and two expansive dining tables. Yet, it still offers abundant privacy to guests in each of the five bedrooms, ensuring a relaxing stay for everyone.

This charming beach house is conveniently located just a half mile from the beach. Hop on one of the provided bikes and cruise down the shady bike path, Alle of the Oaks, to beach access No. 32; you may even spot one of the local alligators in a pond along the way!

Everyone will love the screened-in back porch, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening cocktail while watching the sun dip behind the palm fronds. The back porch flows into the backyard, overlooking the expansive pool and patio, which is excellent for families to gather outdoors, BBQ on the grill, enjoy a game of ping-pong, and swim in the pool. After a day at the beach or hitting the links, end the day by jumping into the private pool or soothing your muscles in the hot tub spa.

The Birdie is equipped with numerous extra amenities, a rarity in other rental homes on the island. The homeowners thoughtfully provided everything you need for your beach adventures; you will find the house stocked—over a dozen beach chairs, six bikes, a beach wagon, boogie boards, beach towels, coolers, beach toys galore and more! The homeowners, who have been vacationing with their kids on the island for over a decade, have outfitted their homes with all the extras they wished they had found in other rentals, ensuring your vacation is a crowd-pleaser!

The large kitchen has new appliances and plenty of culinary utensils to make a simple breakfast or an elaborate family meal. The bonus is that there are two dishwashers because vacation is for relaxing, not extra dishes!
The home features 5 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms; all beds have high-quality foam mattresses and Sweetgrass's signature triple-sheet bedding for a truly restful night's sleep. There is also a half bathroom and full laundry room on the main floor.

The primary suite on the main floor overlooks the maritime forest in the backyard. The primary bathroom features double vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower—a bonus amenity is the heated tile floors. The primary suite also has a large work desk for a quick conference call, and in case of a work emergency, a color printer is available for guests to use.

The upstairs has a large second living area for kids to escape and play after a long day at the beach. The home was designed by a mom and is stocked with board games, puzzles, and plenty of books for kids of all ages. There is even a fun play tent for imaginary games—we even have rainy days covered!

Kiawah is a natural haven, unlike any other beach resort on the East Coast. Known for its golf courses and miles of pristine beaches, it is a place that offers so much more—where everyone can find their favorite outdoor adventure. Biking, tennis, pickleball, paddleboarding, kayaking, bird watching, and saltwater fishing are just some of the other activities families enjoy while visiting the island. What will you discover when you visit Kiawah?
