Great stay for the family
Our family had an amazing time at this cottage! There’s great bike riding, both on paved trails and on the beach. It’s a very easy walk to the pool and the beach. And the home is in great shape with all the amenities you need. I would highly recommend this for your next beach vacation!

Kiawah Dream
I’ve been going to Kiawah for well over 30 years and know the island well. This one of the best properties I have stayed in and the location in The West Beach area is ideal. The actual cottage is exactly as advertised and was extremely well equipped (we like to cook and bbq). The property manager, Susie, was great with communication and immediately responsive to any questions we had. We will be staying here again, without hesitation. Absolute perfection!

Quiet & Relaxing Getaway near the Beach
We have rented on Kiawah Island for several years. It is the most relaxing place if you like long walks on the beach to visiting Freshfields market to have a hot pizza outside. You never have to leave the Island because of all the great stores and restaurants available. We visited the end of November to early December and the weather was great. Enjoyable vacation. Also, our cottage was awesome!!!

Excellent location!
We had a great stay at this property on Kiawah. The location to the beach, pool, and the front gate was perfect. The beds were comfortable and kitchen adequately stocked. The beach chairs were an added bonus. Communication with Susie was great and access to the house was super easy. It was an easy bike ride to the Nest, Night Heron Park and the Sanctuary. On the negative side, the carpets could stand to be cleaned/replaced in the bedrooms and they are on the small side. There were just three of us staying here and we ended up using the third bedroom for our luggage and extra storage. So it might be tight for a larger family. Overall, we would stay here again. Thanks for sharing your home.

Overall a nice property
Our family of four returned to Kiawah after 8 years away. West Beach has come a long way and continues to improve. The beach as always is amazing and not as crowed as East Beach! Wonderful place to bike ride! The ocean was so warm. The renovation to the family room and kitchen in the cottage is very nice. The kitchen is well equipped, and it was nice to have a gas grill. I recommend a deep cleaning in the drawers and the outside of the cabinets. Although quite comfortable, the mattress in the master bedroom is extremely squeaky. My biggest complaint would be the hall bath, the shower/tub had NOT been cleaned (I cleaned it myself). It was nice to have a full size washer and dryer. The screened porch is cute but I’m not sure if the ceiling fan works. Overall, I do recommend staying in this Sparrow Pond cottage. The issues we had are easy to address. It is a fairly short walk to the beach access and an even easier bike ride.

Pga Championship Week
5 of us stayed during the Pga Championship at Kiawah. The home was immaculate and the location was fantastic. Easy access to bars, shops and a short walked to the beach. The house was next door to Cougar Point golf club a great spot where we ate most nights. We book a lot of houses during the year and I have to say Susie was the easiest we ever had to deal with and everything was in point. Thanks

Wonderful
We had a problem in our initial rental elsewhere on St Johns Island and needed to find a rental last minute. Unbelievably, this cottage was available and the agent responded to our need and got us into the cottage the same day! We were so thankful for Susie's help and when we arrived, we couldn't believe how great the cottage was. it was so comfortable and homey, in a beautiful private quiet setting, only a short walk to the beach along a pathway through a nature area. The cottage cost a little more than our previous choice but there was no comparison: the location was great, the cottage was updated conveniently, it was clean and had absolutely everything we needed! The beach was spectacular! We realized that sometimes things can work out so much better than expected. We were thankful for this lovely cottage and for Susie's handling of our predicament. THANK YOU SUSIE! We would love to return again.

good spot
This house has some really great qualities--the location is perfect--in a very quiet neighborhood that is both a very quick bike ride or very quick walk to the beach; the kitchen is terrific--we only cooked in because of C-19, and we are cooks, and we did not wish for anything; the screened in porch is great; the beds are really comfy; the water pressure and hot water are great. The decor is a smidge dated--we don't esp care about that. The TV is a smart TV, but it's not set up for streaming--that is the one update that definitley should be made (it's 2020 and a pandemic is happening, so you can't go out much). We saw a few more palmetto bugs than we would have preferred, but whew, Susie O, the property manager was on it. And Susie is a definite plus--really nice, very and swiftly responsive and helpful--you just know you're in good hands. The place we usually rent was not available. It overlooks one of the lagoons, which we loved and missed very much, so we probably would not stay here again because we want a place over a lagoon. But we would definitely work with Susie to find one.
