Picture this: 18 of your favorite people gathered at golden hour, watching the Kiawah
marsh turn copper-pink from your private saltwater pool. The edge of the water
disappears seamlessly into the horizon. The sounds of the game room drifting through
the open doors. A stunning chef’s kitchen filling the house with something spectacular.

And a quiet cul-de-sac that feels like your own private corner of the island.
Welcome to 68 Persimmon Court — Kiawah Island’s premier large-group estate.
THE HOME
With over 6,000 square feet of living space spread across three floors, 8 private
bedrooms, and 8 full bathrooms, this is one of the largest private vacation homes
available on Kiawah Island. An elevator serves all three levels, making it easy for guests
of every age and ability. The open-plan living areas flow from a sunken lounge with a
double-sided fireplace to a light-filled sunroom, game room, and a second living area with
wet bar — giving every group member their own space to decompress or gather.
THE KITCHEN
The fully renovated chef’s kitchen is one of the finest on the island. Featuring custom
white cabinetry, quartzite countertops, a professional GE Monogram appliance suite
(including double ovens, a griddle top, and dual dishwashers), and an 11-foot island that
seats six comfortably, this is a kitchen designed for serious cooking and serious
gathering. Whether it’s a quiet breakfast overlooking the marsh or a catered group dinner,
the space delivers.
THE POOL and OUTDOOR LIVING
Step outside to your private saltwater pool (22 ft x 11 ft) perched at the edge of the
Kiawah marsh. The pool’s edge is precision-beveled downward so that the waterline all
but vanishes into the horizon — creating the seamless visual effect of water merging with
the marsh beyond. The sunsets from this vantage point are nothing short of
extraordinary. Dine al fresco, grill out, or simply let the day dissolve as the tide shifts
below. Please note: the pool is saltwater and unheated.
ENTERTAINMENT and RECREATION
Inside, the game room is a crowd-pleaser for every generation — featuring Golden Tee
and a full pool table. A 75-inch TV anchors the main living room. Outside, the island
delivers world-class recreation at every turn: five championship golf courses including
The Ocean Course (host of the 2021 PGA Championship and 2031 Ryder Cup), the #1-
ranked Kiawah Island Resort Tennis Center, 10 miles of pristine Atlantic beach, scenic
bike trails, kayaking, paddleboarding, and dolphin-watching cruises. The Marsh
Observation Tower is a short walk away, and Freshfields Village’s boutique shops and
restaurants are just minutes by car.
LOCATION
Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Vanderhorst Plantation, this home offers rare
privacy without sacrificing access. The beach is a scenic 1.5-mile bike ride away —
rentals are available just minutes from the property through Island Bike and Surf — and
the island’s golf, tennis, and dining are all within easy reach. Historic Charleston is just 25
miles away — a perfect day trip for culture, cuisine, and sightseeing.

Reviews

Nice place for a large group.
Overall, we were pleased with the house. Enjoyed the pool and the game room was the Golden Tee was a big hit with the young adults. The bathrooms and kitchen are somewhat dated but functional. Only big complaint is a shocking lack of forks for a house this size -- only 10! The oven has also seen better days.

Adequate Space for Large Extended Family
We had an extended family vacation with 17 people and the house comfortably accommodated our group. We had plenty of beds and well-furnished living areas. The house definitely needs updates and the kitchen is past due for a remodel; cabinet paint worn/ missing as an example. A bit disappointed in the kitchen utensils as there weren’t enough forks for our entire group (glad we had some plastic ones). The bedrooms were spacious and while the deck areas were small the pool was a nice relief to the heat. Our family especially enjoyed eating meals at the round table in the breakfast nook. We know that houses this size cost much more and we appreciated the lower rate. Despite some of the appliances and showers needing updating they all worked very well. It was especially nice having two microwaves and ice makers.

Great Experience!
It was our first time visiting the island and we couldn’t have picked a better house and location. The view from the porch was amazing and the house had plenty for all ages.

Great Vacation Spot
This house was perfect for our extended family who flew out for a wedding. There was plenty of room for everyone (12 adults 8 kids) and it is in a great location. The bike paths are fun an inviting while the beach is also close by.

Lots of Space
This property offered our family of 14 lots of space. The location and view was amazing. We really enjoyed the deck and infinity pool overlooking the marsh. Kitchen needs updating and ovens were not reliable.

Large home but kitchen and baths need renovation
This home is very large. The living spaces are spacious, albeit we thought the outdoor spaces would be better if not separated by an indoor sunroom with marble floors. Baths but especially the kitchen needs a complete update. There were miscellaneous pots and pans and there was no real order to anything. There was a uniform set of plates and bowls which was appreciated. However, the drinking glasses and wine glasses were mix and match, thrift store style. There were 2 sets of steak knives and NO working everyday cooking knives. The top floor was totally unusable and the stairs going up were dangerous,. The washer and dryer on the main floor are from the 1980’s and are not updated. The stackable unit on the 2nd floor did NOT clean adequately and should be removed.
Most of the beds were without mattress pads, which was unhygienic Given all the measures you take to remove all condiments and food items from the home as a covid precaution, it would make sense that your beds were made properly. When we arrived and wanted to use the grill we had to call you because the grate was covered in rust. I am sorry, but your “home inspectors” as you refer to them should do a much better job at preparing a home for guests.

Having said all this, staying on Kiawah island is wonderful for a large family or a group of friends. The house has a beautiful view of the marsh and the sunsets were magnificent....the only downside is the patio is VERY tight for a home this large. There are many activities for kids of all ages. Our youngsters loved the pool and biking to the beach; we had a large family dinner every night and there was more than adequate space for eating together.

Semi Annual KIAWAH Family Vacation
Loved the large free flowing house in a quiet area. Lots of recreation in house and the elevator was handy. A bit away from beach but parking was ok. Appliances work but are dated. Net, a great vacation!

Highly Recommend!
68 Persimmon was the perfect place to stay comfortably with a large group. With plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and common areas, it was a great house to rent with friends for a fun and relaxing time! The location was also a quick bike ride away from the beach and tennis courts. ESPM was very easy to communicate with and made our stay even better! Hope to stay here again soon.
