Beautiful home with everything we needed!
The home was beautiful and very well equipped. There were a few problems with lighting but the property manager was very responsive and we had a fabulous stay!
The house was simply stunning. Great for our family of 4 plus 2 sets of grand parents. Everyone had enough room for privacy, play, and relaxation. The property is a short distance from the beach, the Sanctuary, and Kiawah activities. View from the pool or hot tub overlooking the riverside and golf course was great.
The house is very large - plenty of room for 6 people to be comfortable. Great outdoor space. The pool is small, but we used it and enjoyed it. Because of the Covid report in South Carolina, we decided to do all our own cooking and not go out. The kitchen is big, but it is not particularly well equipped which made cooking somewhat of a challenge, but we were able to make do. We were surprised that there wasn’t even salt and pepper. If you want anything for seasoning or special cooking or baking, you will need to bring it with you. One of the best parts about the house is the absolutely mesmerizing view out on the marsh. We saw some alligators, beautiful birds and deer. Great trip!
Our stay on Kiawah Island at this magnificent home was beyond expectations and left us with sweet memories!
The home was immaculate, beautifully decorated, comfortable and the location was absolutely perfect!
We will be back to stay in 2021.

The home could'nt have been in a more ideal location for our family to have privacy, but also access to everything. The home was beautiful and in immaculate condition for us all to recharge and unwind. Highly Recommend. Sweetgrass was very easy to work with and we would love to stay again. Cheers!

We had a wonderful time at this BEAUTIFUL home. Perfect set up for spending a lot of time outdoors! While half of our group were gone golfing it was so nice for the rest to hang out at this home. Also, you can bike anywhere on the island and it is never too far. This home is truly special-layout, design, furnishings, location, pool, outdoor space-everything!
This was a fabulous house in a beautiful setting. We usually never sleep as well on vacation but the beds were fabulous! It had everything we needed except we would bring an extra set of pool/beach towels next time. The distance to the beach is an easy bike ride but a bit of a walk if you are hauling a lot of stuff with you.

Our Favorite Kiawah House!
This house was incredible. We've rented in Vanderhorst many times and this house was our favorite by far! It is beautifully decorated and has really wonderful views. It has a very spacious kitchen and there is lots of natural light throughout, which were both important to us.
