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.
