Family Vacation

We did enjoy our time on Flyway Drive however we did have some issues. The pool heater was not working, we had a problem with no hot water on the 2nd floor and a bathroom pipe broke in the master bedroom. All areas were addressed but we had to take time out of our vacation to deal with these issues. Also, the pots and pans in the kitchen were in very poor shape. We had a large group and hoped to do more cooking but the lack of reasonable cook ware made this difficult. We did try to use the gas grill but that was a challenge. A less complicated outdoor grill would be helpful !

Excellent Home!

We stayed and Vanderhorst Plantation over the holidays and had a wonderful time! Extended family of 13 and we all had comfortable rooms, private bathrooms, and plenty of space to be together or to spread out. The kitchen is well-stocked, the furniture is comfortable, the home is clean and well-appointed. It feels more like you're visiting a friend's house than staying in a home that's been furnished as a rental. Caroline was always quick to respond and incredibly easy to work with on booking, check-in, and details along the way. The location is outstanding! The property is quiet and lush and just across the street from a beach access boardwalk! Can't recommend this property enough! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Kiawah family vacation

We were a family of 15 and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home. The amenities and the layout of the home were perfect for our family. It was particularly nice to have the pool as an option as well as the close proximity of the beach. The property manager was readily available for any additional needs. We would definitely book this property again!

Kiawah luxury home A+

Nine of us (4 siblings and spouses with our 91 year-old mother) had a wonderful stay of 6 nights (we wished we'd booked 7!). The house fit us all beautifully and comfortably, and was in fact bigger than we really needed. It is outfitted exceptionally well, from the kitchen to bathrooms to outdoor gear. We appreciated "small touches" like the plastic containers for leftover food and the fact that many cooking basics were supplied, also the plentiful beach towels, beach chairs, cooler, bikes, and cart to haul everything to the beach. We wished weather had been a bit warmer for spending time on the pool deck, and that a strong storm on our second-to-last day had not caused so many oak leaves and emerging flowers to rain down on the property! But, that is a function of the time of year we chose to come, and it in no way negatively impacted our stay. The neighborhood is quiet, and the house felt very private. All in all, we had a fantastic 6 days and would recommend this home to anyone wanting to experience the wonders of Kiawah.

House is nice and large. Some normal wall dings, etc for a rental house but it was clean with nice furniture, bedding, etc. Pool was nice and house is short walk to the beach. Caroline the property manager was very very understanding with a health issue one of our family members had prior to our stay which put our trip in doubt but we ultimately stayed and had a great time. She was very responsive. Would stay again.

Old Friends Celebration

This house was perfect for our reunion of old college friends gathered together to celebrate a big birthday. There were twelve of us and the house had plenty of room for us — bedrooms, bathrooms, dining areas and sitting spots. The deck was wonderful and the beach was just a short walk away. We had a wonderful time and this house was a big reason. We loved it!

Great location!

We had a wonderful vacation at this property. The location is excellent, just a few walking minutes away from the beach. The house was spotless when we arrived and it easily accommodated our family of nine. The furniture was comfortable and there were plenty of dishes and silverware. We particularly enjoyed having a large living where the whole family could be together to read, watch TV, or play table games. The large kitchen table was also s big plus, as it allowed us to enjoy our informal meals together. Caroline,, the property manager, was easily reached, professional, and responsive. I felt the lack of shades in the primary bathroom was problematic, but she promptly made arrangements to have temporary shades installed. I would definitely recommend this property to family and friends and I hope to return in the near future.

Amazing property with plenty of space!

This home fit our group perfectly. 6 friends and their significant others as well as myself shared this home recently for a wedding get away. The rooms were large and accurately listed allowing for private space and individual bathrooms allowed for plenty of room for a larger group. The outdoor space and pool were seemingly much bigger than we thought based on the pictures and the large basement with garage stored our groups golf clubs nicely. Caroline was very easy to reach and responded quickly to any “beginner” questions which was a relief since this was my first time using this site to rent. Having such an easy time reaching her allowed for my nerves to be calmed and a smooth process all around. The home was well kept, had all the amenities listed and even a few extra which were a bonus. I will be recommending this house to any friends and family looking to stay in the area and will keep it pinned in my profile for our next visit!

Loved Loved Loved Flyway on Kiawah!

This home was perfect for our large three generation family. It was probably the cleanest home in our 27 years of renting with VRBO! Caroline (manager) was helpful and addressed any needs or issues we had. The kitchen was very well stocked with spices and herbs. Thanks for the two slow cookers and Keurig. The flatware was plentiful and heavy (if you have rented other homes, you know how flimsy and sparse some homes’ supplies are). The bed linens and towels were luxurious. Numerous beach towels too!! The pool was perfect and the deck always partially in the shade, which is wonderful in the hot SC summer. The nearby beach was perfect, flat, sandy and not crowded. Bikes and beach chairs added to our comfort and carefree week. This was a Perfect week in Kiawah.
