Stunning Coastal Gem in Vanderhorst with private pool

A Kiawah Retreat Designed for Comfort, Grace, and Time Together

Set within the quiet beauty of Vanderhorst Plantation, this newly built (2023) Kiawah Island home offers something increasingly rare: a refined coastal retreat thoughtfully designed for comfort, ease of living, and multigenerational time together.

From the moment you arrive, the home feels welcoming rather than overwhelming — elegant without being fussy, spacious without feeling impersonal. Soft coastal interiors, natural light, and a flowing layout create an atmosphere that is both calming and effortlessly functional.

One of the home’s most appreciated features is the primary suite located on the main floor, offering privacy and convenience without stairs. The suite feels like a personal sanctuary, complete with a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub and large walk-in shower — ideal for unwinding after a day at the beach or simply enjoying a slower morning.

The heart of the home is a beautifully appointed chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances and generous workspace — perfect for preparing meals together, whether it’s a quiet dinner for two or a lively family gathering. The open living and dining areas make it easy to stay connected while still offering plenty of room to spread out.

Outdoors, the home opens to a peaceful lagoon setting surrounded by mature oaks and palmettos — a serene Lowcountry backdrop that invites morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evening conversations. The private pool can be fully fenced off, offering added peace of mind when children are visiting, and can be heated upon request for an additional fee, allowing for comfortable swimming beyond the peak summer months. Nearby walking and biking paths lead to Marsh Island Park and Kiawah’s scenic observation tower, while the beach, golf, and dining are just a short ride away.

When family visits, everyone has their own space. Two additional queen bedrooms with private baths provide comfort and privacy for adult guests, while a charming bunk room gives younger visitors a place of their own — close enough to feel connected, yet thoughtfully separated.

The outdoor kitchen and seating area extend the living space even further, making it easy to enjoy relaxed meals, quiet evenings, or casual entertaining without ever feeling rushed. If there is a grill master in your group, they will love the massive grill and TV nearby — perfect for al fresco dinners, morning coffee, or game-day gatherings.

This home is about creating a place where time slows down, where hosting feels joyful rather than tiring, and where comfort, beauty, and practicality coexist.

Pool heat is available at $120/day, four-day minimum, not able to be heated if the temps are below 50 degrees. An in-home elevator is available upon request for mobility challenged guests only, it has easy access to all levels, making the house comfortable for guests of all ages and mobility levels.

As our guest, you will have access to 5 Championship Golf Courses – including The Ocean Course – the location of the 2021 PGA Championship; The Kiawah Island Resort Tennis Center - #1 ranked by Tennis Resorts Online; Free Wireless Internet Access;. Local Property Management staff is on hand in case of emergencies and their friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff can assist you with any needs throughout your stay.

Beautiful new home

This is a beautiful home, which is very well equipped. The pros are that it is within biking distance to the beach, it seems very private, and it's newer, so it doesn't have the wear and tear of a typical rental. The cons are that, even though there is a bathroom in every bedroom, the counter space/storage for the vanities are little to none, unless you are in the master. The other negative is that there is only one main living area, so there is nowhere to go if you wanted another space to separate from others in the home. The house is truly lovely though, and we would stay there again. The pool and outdoor area is relaxing and the perfect place to gather at the end of the day. The finishes and decor are very well thought out, so it feels like a home away from home. Thanks so much for opening your gorgeous new home for other families to enjoy.

Nice property

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home fit my family nicely. Everyone had their own spaces. I would recommend a tv option in the bunk room. I had a 12 yr old and 18yr old boy sharing that room. They would have liked to connect their ps5. Otherwise, amenities were nice and comfortable. There were some random ants and palmetto bugs. Nothing crazy but sure to be expected in the area. We just took care of them as they showed. The management company was fantastic to work with. A very relaxing retreat.

Fantastic stay in Kiawah Island

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented 350 Governors Drive for five nights and we could not have been happier. The house is absolutely stunning. Each room was decorated flawlessly, the high end appliances were easy to maneuver and the pool was pristine and the perfect size. The location was excellent. An easy 10 minute ride to the beach which was the highlight of our trip. We would definitely book this house on our next trip to Kiawah.
