4BR FLYWAY home! Pond View! Across from beach path!
Welcome to your DREAM beach getaway at 18 FLYWAY, an exquisite 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom home located along the exclusive oceanside drive in Kiawah Resort's Vanderhorst Plantation. Nestled between the picturesque Canvasback Pond and Kiawah's pristine ten-mile beach, this stunning retreat offers scenic island and lagoon views, abundant local wildlife, and a boardwalk just across the street for effortless beach access.
Step into Lowcountry luxury with this beautifully designed coastal home, where wide porches, ocean breezes, and elegant modern finishes create the perfect island escape. The open-concept living and kitchen area features floor-to-ceiling windows, flooding the space with natural light and offering breathtaking views. The expansive kitchen island is ideal for entertaining, complemented by a gas range, wine bar, prep area, and direct porch access, making outdoor grilling a breeze. Guests can dine at the spacious table for 8 or the breakfast bar seating for 4.
First-Floor Accommodations: - Master Suite: Features a king bed, access to the porch and sun deck, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub overlooking the pond, a tiled shower, and dual vanities. - Study with Additional Sleeping Space: Twin-over-full bunk bed—perfect for extra guests. - Full Hallway Bath for convenience.
Second-Level Guest Retreats: - Queen Bedroom and Twin Bedroom (two beds) sharing a hallway bath. - King Bedroom with a private ensuite bath. - Cozy Sitting Area with plush couches and a large TV, perfect for movie nights after a day at the beach.
For added convenience, the home includes high-speed WiFi, multiple desk spaces for remote work, and a full-size laundry room with a washer, dryer, and washroom sink. The home does provide access to the garage.
Outside, the back deck is surrounded by lush palmettos and coastal plant life, an inviting space to enjoy morning coffee or evening wine while watching local birds and wildlife. Head just across the street and down the boardwalk to access the miles of sandy beaches and ocean fun. Rent bikes to enjoy the many scenic trails through Kiawah Resort. Play golf at one of the five area courses. Shop and dine at popular stores and restaurants at Freshfields Village. Enjoy a boat trip or dolphin cruise at Bohicket Marina. Or if you're feeling adventurous, head into Charleston for a dose of history and world-class dining, just a 45 minute drive north.
This spectacular Kiawah Island home blends luxury, comfort, and the beauty of the Lowcountry, making it the perfect vacation retreat for families and groups. Book your stay and experience the ultimate island getaway!

Great value, we stayed for the marathon/half marathon and this was right on the race course so it worked out well for our spectators to cheer for us while sitting in the driveway! Comfortably slept 10 with plenty of room. Clean and beautiful location.
Beautiful property right across from the beach. Absolutely wonderful stay with teens and adults. Plenty of room for everyone.We look forward to returning!

Spectacular home! Photos do not do it justice. It’s larger and taller inside and out than we expected. Many areas to sit both inside and out side. Kiawah is a beautiful island yet the alligators do give you pause especially when not used to such a reptile that large and sometimes that close. Was a beast to respect and marvel at. Will definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely stay in this house as a group of 8 adults. The house is beautiful. The kitchen is very well stocked and the location is terrific. During our stay, we rented a pontoon boat from Bohicket Boat Rentals and had a great time seeing dolphins and cruising the marsh areas around Kiawah and Seabrook Islands. One thing to note is that if you are staying with young children and plan to walk or bike to the beach, you should know that there is a small section of Flyway that you will need to walk/ride along that does not have a sidewalk or bike bath alongside.
We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. We found the check-in process to be very easy/simple. Communication with the host was very efficient. We were pleasantly surprised with how well the home was furnished with Cookware, in particular. Landscaping was immaculate. Everything was in great working order, especially no issues with internet or television. Beach access was hassle free. Very close shopping and groceries at Freshfields Village. We also took advantage of the Equestrian park at Seabrook, Magnolia Plantation, King Street, a carriage ride downtown, Local art at the Open Market Downtown, excellent dining options, and wonderful sunsets on the beach. Probably one of our best VRBO stays. So thankful to have been able to stay at this property. Great job to the hosts and owners.

Extremely pleased with this rental home. One of the best stocked, in terms of appliances, serving pieces, tableware, etc., that we’ve had at Kiawah over several years. Very bright and open, with large rooms and ample gathering spaces for group conversations. We had a group of 7. Only downside was not having sidewalks or being near walking paths. Somewhat dangerous walking along the roadway. Would have rented for next year except pricing for 1 week then was considerably more than 2 weeks this year!
This house was so perfect. It was spacious with plenty of room for each person in our party of 4 to have their personal space and to hang out together without being crowded. Definitely accommodates more than 4. Roomy but cozy at the same time. Perfect access to the beach boardwalk and an easy stroll to the ocean. Want to live here! Seriously. Can we just stay here??

Location was good, but upon entering the home noticed many maintenance issues. Backed up drain in upstairs “master” room due to sand, broken kitchen disposal button, broken trash cabinet and upstairs AC running warm. If not for the location wouldn’t really recommend.

Beautiful home with wonderful kitchen open to the living area. Large master bedroom with great bathroom. The gas grill was expecially nice.Unfortunately, ESPM responded to my call but never came to the house to fix the lock on a back door or a ceiling fan that appeared to be falling down in a bedroom.It would also have been good to know some bikes were available in the garage so we did not have to rent as many as we did. Overall, we had a very nice experience and appreciate the homeowners having allowed us to use their beautiful home.

We loved the house and our time there, it was wonderful for two families with college-aged 'kids'. The spacious and open first floor provided plenty of room for everyone to be together (cooking, reading, watching tv, working, playing games) without being on top of each other. The decor is lovely. The back deck overlooking the river/marsh was a beautiful spot to relax. We loved the location, in a quieter area with lovely homes, within easy walking/bike-riding distance to the beach. The house was very well-equipped, the only odd/frustrating exception being that there were no beach towels available (we were told this relates to the laundry service Covid requirements and that we could buy or bring towels, neither of which was a sensible option to us). We had a fabulous stay and would highly recommend the house.
House was outstanding - lots of space, lots of amenities [stocked kitchen, bikes, etc], an excellent lot [beautiful landscaping w excellent porches]... however, we were not permitted to use the gas fireplace [on chilly mornings this would have been the best] and the [only] queen bed is getting old [folks tend to slide to the center]... no regrets
First time vacationing at Kiawah. Beautiful house with easy walk or bike ride to beach. Loved the layout of the house. Very quiet neighborhood. Nice back deck overlooking the canal. We had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Family of 6 Vacation
We have vacationed in Kiawah before (been several years ago now) and our kids always loved it. Now they are grown with a husband and finance and we decided to return after celebrating our youngest's college graduation from Charleston. The home is beautiful! It is uniquely and well-built; a true custom with lots of custom features (beautiful millwork). It is decorated with love and attention. It was true to the listing in those regards, as was the well-stocked kitchen (everything you need and more, more, more). However, it was not clean! Not even close! I think the cleaning service may have changed sheets and brought in towels and that was probably it. The kitchen floor has not been mopped in a very long time. And, the kitchen stove was filthy-again, not been cleaned in a very long time. The kitchen has many many gorgeous sets of dishes, serving ware, trays, pots, pans, etc, etc, etc. but it's everywhere. It's almost too much or it should be in labeled cabinets and drawers so that renters can return items to their proper place. The main living room furniture, although very high-end and beautiful, is very worn. The carpets were in need of a good vacuum. Overall I think this house is amazing. It is just in need of a deep clean, a deep purge, and some serious organization. The house is in a great location with easy beach access. We enjoyed the quiet beach, and bike riding daily. Thanks for the beach credit with Vayk Gear. The bikes and beach cart were great. We were able to easily rent beach umbrellas and chairs from Beach Gear Rentals which drove by on the beach daily. I will add that the property management was not friendly nor responsive prior to or during our trip.
Absolutely amazing home with wonderful accommodations! We had never been to Kiawah and were not quite sure what to expect, however we are completely in love!!!! This particular home exceeded our expectations - the decor was fabulous, the house is quite large and stunning. Fantastic views of the channel with several sitings of alligators! Great outdoor seating areas as well as great indoor seating areas for multiple conversations. The kitchen is absolutely stunning and while we did enjoy several nearby restaurants we also enjoyed cooking in this professional kitchen. The bedrooms are very accommodating and in particular, the master suite is outstanding.
All in all, we were very pleased with our stay. We were able to hit the beach for half a day, visit Charleston twice, spent some time at Freshfields and enjoy some quality family time.
Thank you so much!
Very nice home great for socialization with its open plan downstairs. Bit of a hike to beach though. Insufficient garbage/recycling recepticals for a weeks stay. Minimal garbage bags, detergent and dishwasher pods. I also expected clean windows to take in the great views of the lagoon and/or some cleaning supplies would have been nice but that was not the case. Our group returns annually and would consider this home or similar in the future.
