About this property

30 Blue Heron Pond: Beautiful 4 Bedroom Home with Private Pool, Bike to Beach

RBL19-006499
In accordance with the Town of Kiawah Island Short Term Rental Ordinance, all guests understand that the approved number of bedrooms is 4, the maximum allowed occupancy is 10, and the maximum allowed number of vehicles is 5.

Built in 2018, this Kiawah Island vacation rental home offers 4 bedrooms, a private pool, views through the cedars to Cinder Creek, and is about a 10-minute bike ride to the beach. The home is situated in a private marsh setting and near the neighborhood crabbing dock and Marsh Tower.

Inside the cedar-shingled home, you will find hardwood floors throughout, shiplap, elegant finishes, and large windows that provide plenty of natural light. An open floor plan connects the kitchen, dining area, and family room, which has access to the screened porch, expansive outdoor deck, and pool. The gourmet kitchen showcases granite counters, a large island, and high-end appliances. The first-floor living area offers tall ceilings, built-in shelving, and a TV. Upstairs, you will find a second sitting area with a mounted TV, perfect for kids or teenagers.

The first-floor primary suite, with a California king bed, flows off the family room and occupies one side of the first floor. A private bathroom with sliding barn door features a walk-in shower and double sinks. This primary bedroom also opens onto the deck and pool area. There are three additional bedrooms on the second floor, all with private bathrooms. The first bedroom features a queen bed and bathroom with sliding barn door and a walk-in shower. The second bedroom features shiplap walls, two built-in XL twin over queen bunk beds, and private bathroom with a walk-in shower. The third bedroom features a queen bed and has a bathroom with a shower/tub combo. In the hallway, there is a laundry chute leading directly to the downstairs laundry room.

The home is equipped with washer, dryer, and high-speed wireless internet.

The pool has an electric heater, so the pool may be heated in cooler months for an additional fee of $75 per day for the entire stay. It can take 24-48 hours for the pool water to reach the optimal temperature of 85-87 degrees. When the air temperature falls below 55 degrees, typically November-March, pool heaters have difficulty achieving the optimal temperature. In this case, pool heating will not be available. Contact us directly to add pool heating to your reservation.

Guest reservations of 3 to 21 nights come with a valuable credit to use towards beach gear rentals during your stay! The credit amount for this property is $300. You may use your credit for bicycles, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and more – the choice is yours!

During your stay on Kiawah Island, be sure to enjoy biking on the 30 miles of flat bike trails, golfing on one of five world-class courses, playing tennis, crabbing, fishing, swimming, and boating. Many families also enjoy the kids’ camp and nature programs at Night Heron Park.

Kiawah Island is about 40 minutes from historic Charleston, famous for incredible shopping, galleries, antique stores, museums, the South Carolina Aquarium, horse-drawn carriage rides, historic landmarks, and sumptuous dining.

Great stay for the marathon

Stayed here with 3 other couples and loved the house. Big open spaces, kitchen and butlers pantry was great. Very clean and comfortable. Really enjoyed the location in the marshes of the preserve. Perfect for our Kiawah marathon run.

Friends and Family Fall Vacay!!

We LOVED this property! This is the first time in 8 years of visiting Kiawah Island we have not booked with Kiawah Island Resort. It was literally perfect. It was an easy bike ride to the beach, & we loved the pool and the marsh view. The home was spotless, large, and everyone was comfortable and happy. Thankful for our time and the memories made here.!

disappointing

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: last year’s week at the house was spectacular so we been another week for this year. both during COVID so the pandemic shouldn’t be used as an excuse to justify the disappointing experience this year. the house has numerous items missing from the kitchen (glassware, pots, pans) which were replaced upon us flaking a request. then there were many items broken (2 coffee pots, side sink), light bulbs needing to be replaced (bathrooms), not enough towels for 10 people and the towels provided needed to be replaced as they were well-used and stained. the house was not cleaned most evident by the hardwood floors. there was no broom in the house. i had to mop on my hands and knees twice due to bugs being attracted. when people pay 10k a week for house, what we experienced was completely unacceptable and had caused us to not return next year and use akers. the house is awesome however the management company is doing the owners a disservice by providing a subpar service to guests.

Amazing rental!

Our family absolutely LOVED our stay in this house. It was private and secluded, and the pool was perfect for us to enjoy all week. The property was very clean when we arrived. We LOVED the kitchen — it was super well supplied for a family that loves to cook. We had one minor issue and the property manager was prompt to respond and send someone out to take care of it. We will absolutely be staying here again soon!

Comfortable and highly recommend

The house met expectations. Great space and good pool (enjoyed the pool heater!). Loved the screened in porch and deck. It is in a great location away from the main roads. Great for families. Agency was very responsive to questions. Only issue is that bed linens could use a refresh - otherwise highly recommend.

30 Blue Heron Pond Road Review - Zusel

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the house and the location were fantastic! The property mgmt company was amazing and very responsive. We had an issue with a stove propane leak and Akers Ellis could not have responded more quickly. The layout of the house was great and the kids has tons of room. The only issue we had was that the house was not very clean when we arrived. Dusty and the floors were dirty. Also, the showers had mold in them and the sinks in the bathrooms had mold in the drains and were clogged. I had to do a deep clean of my own. The house needs a profession third party to do big deep clean. Also, the bed in the master bedroom was a bit caved in from use. I would consider replacing the bed in the master bedroom. But, we did love the house overall and would rent it again. Plus Akers Ellis was great to work with.

Even Better Than Advertised

We loved everything about this house. We've stayed in a number of home rentals and this one could be the best one yet. It was extremely clean and well stocked. The home itself is beautiful and comfortable and the surroundings are so serene, quiet and beautiful. We were in need of a getaway where we could truly unwind and relax and this house was better than what we could have imagined. We can't wait to come back again!

Spectacular Stay!

The "Vanderhorst Plantation" exceeded our expectations. The spacious home is beautiful with high-end finishes, lots of natural light, and soaring ceilings. The bedrooms are comfortable and cozy (though not small in size), and the four en-suite bathrooms provided convenience and privacy. We loved spending time on the large back deck , pool, and screened in porch. The Blue Heron neighborhood on Kiawah Island is both serene and upscale. Would highly recommend this property for families or a friends get together!
