Welcome to 77 Forestay, your home away from home on Kiawah Island in a prime wooded setting just across the street from the beach!! This gorgeous 4,436 sq ft vacation home boasts 6 large bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, a private pool and everything you need to make your vacation a breeze. If you’re searching for houses for rent on Kiawah for a large family or several couples, 77 Forestay is perfect!

Enter to the open living room with floor to ceiling windows offering lots of natural light. Just off of the gourmet kitchen and spacious downstairs living area, you will find two bedrooms that share a jack and jill bath. One bedroom offers 2 full beds with updated flat screen TV & DVD player, while the other affords a queen bed with sitting area.

Opposite the living room, to the right of entry you will find one of two primary bedrooms complete with king bed, flat screen TV and extra-large walk-in shower with separate soaking tub. Past the elevator and upstairs to the left is the second primary bedroom with king bed, ensuite bath and updated TV with sitting area. The fifth bedroom has a full bath and is located to the right of the upstairs master (the photo shows 2 twin beds, but they have been updated with a king bed instead - photo to come soon).

A very comfortable second living area/media room, great for relaxing after a long day at the beach, is opposite the bedrooms, to the right of the stairs. From this room, take another flight of stairs to the very private 6th bedroom loft offering a queen bed. Please note that the guest who uses this room will need to utilize the 1/2 hallway bath or full bathroom on the second floor. A second powder room is located off the kitchen and laundry area downstairs. A refreshing, crystal blue pool and covered porch with gas fireplace make this the perfect place to unwind and spend your vacation.

The Vanderhorst Plantation is a private paradise nestled between East Beach Village and Ocean Park on Kiawah Island. This tranquil plantation boasts maritime forests, marshlands and lagoons, beautiful stretches of beaches and an abundance of wildlife away from the crowds for a true barrier island getaway.

You’re perfectly placed to enjoy the best of Kiawah Island’s championship golf only minutes away at the pristine Osprey Point Golf Course and Peter Dye’s Ocean Course, or a short drive away from Turtle Point or Cougar Point Golf Course. Vanderhorst Plantation is only 4 miles from the top attractions of East Beach Village including Night Heron Park, Kiawah Nature Center, the Roy Barth Tennis Center, and luxury dining and shopping at The Sanctuary Hotel at Kiawah Island Golf Resort.

77 Forestay
77 Forestay was a great house for our two families. The proximity to the beach was especially appealing.

Perfect Family House on Kiawah
My family thoroughly enjoyed this house for our first trip to Kiawah Island. It was massive (much bigger than the pictures show) and had all the amenities we needed to have a relaxed vacation. The property manager was extremely responsive to the minor issues we incurred during the week and corrected them immediately.

Wonderful Stay!
We were so pleased with our stay at 77 Forestay! From the moment we arrived, we found everything perfectly suited for our family. The layout was great, the rooms were spacious, and the style/feel of the home was so much fun! The location was great for getting to and from the beach which was also great. We would definitely come back!

Our experience at 77 Forestay
This vacation rental exceeded our expectations. The location was perfectly situated in proximity to the beach and bike paths. It was clean and very well-maintained. The house was much larger than we needed however the layout made it seem cozy. I was able to ride a bike to play tennis and we were easy walking distance to the beach. I would highly recommend this property. We tried to rent it for our summer vacation but it was already booked! We will definitely seek it out again.

Good house, great location
We had a great stay at 77 Forestay. It had plenty of space for our two families. The best feature is that while it is not directly on the beach, there is a public access literally 20 steps from the property so you can get from the house to the beach in 2 minutes. We got the pool heated and the kids loved that as well. Overall, a really comfortable house.

Great week in Kiawah
This is the second year we've stayed in this house (16th year coming to Kiawah!) and we've booked it again for next year. It's a beautiful house with everything you could need, but the best part for us is the proximity to the beach. It's right around the corner from the beach access so it's very easy to get to and from the beach. We hope to continue coming here with extended family for years to come!

Another Fantastic Week at Kiawah
This is the second year we have rented this property, and we were once again completely
satisfied. The property was very clean and well
maintained. We had just a short walk to the beach, and the pool was a delightful option at
any time. The layout of the house provided a
large gathering space for meals and conversation, but also bedroom/bath groupings
that allowed privacy and convenience for the different families within our party. The post
dinner walks on the beach offered breath taking
views in the evening. Everyone declared this their favorite time of day at Kiawah. We hope
to return to this wonderful home again next summer and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Love Kiawah and 77 Forestay
This was a beautiful home right next to the boardwalk leading to the beach. Our family has been going to Kiawah every summer for almost 20 years and this house was perfection! It was beautifully decorated, had a fully equipped kitchen and large grill outside which we used often, comfortable beds - I could go on and on! We will definitely book this home again!

Wonderful Family Vacation!
We could not have asked for a better home for our vacation. This house comfortably accommodated 12 people including lots of kids. The home featured every amenity you might possibly need. The beach was a very short walk away and the pool was lovely for evening swims. We will definitely be back!

Great family beach house close to ocean
This is the 3rd time we've had a family vacation here. The home easily accommodates a multi family group and is nicely equipped. Pool is also nice and great for kids. Also, only one house back from oceanfront so no long walks to and from beach.

A gem!
This house was wonderful! Beautifully decorated, high end appliances & fixtures, large pool, short walk to beach, easy access to bike paths, etc! The only drawback is there are 2-3 steps down to the bedrooms on the main level & into the (wonderful) loft upstairs. This could be a hazard for elderly or small children. Overall, our favorite rental to date!

Great House
Property was outstanding. Pool and patio area was great. The kitchen was large and well stocked. Great location, it was a 2 minute walk to the beach. We have been to Kiawah 6 times through the last 12 yaars and this was the best house we have rented.
