Great location for our family vacation

We loved our time at the Sparrow Pond cottage. It was beautifully updated and the location was wonderful. A quick walk to both the beach and pool. We enjoyed coffee and games on the outdoor screened patio and the kitchen had everything we needed on those nights we cooked and ate in. Our family of 6 loved it and would highly recommend.

Wonderful week away!

We enjoyed our stay and the house was very clean and well stocked with everything needed in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were small to be shared by 6 people but manageable. Location is great with easy access to pool and beach. Highly recommend renting bikes - we had so much fun biking around the island - especially in the evening. We will visit again but grocery shop before we arrive!

Excellent, modern, convenient cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your excellent cottage. It was very clean, modern, and beautifully appointed with all the necessities. We found it to be very convenient, both in it's layout and in it's proximity to things at the West Beach end of Kiawah. We enjoyed quick and easy access to the beach and pool, to several golf courses, and also to things we wanted to do away from Kiawah, such as the Bohicket Marina, the Angel Oak, and Charleston.

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!

Charming villa and VERY functional

My family of 5 found the villa to be very charming and extremely functional. It was well maintained and comfortable and perfect for our beach vacation. It had the space we needed for 3 young children (ages 5, 5 and 1 1/2) and offered an outdoor shower which was perfect for after the beach, a hose for rinsing sand toys, washer/dryer for washing clothes and a delightful sunroom for enjoying all our meals. Additionally, Susie the property manager was fabulous. She was always available, very responsive and handled matters appropriately. Thank you!

Great Honeymoon

We were at Sparrow Pond from May 26th through June 2nd and hated to leave. Our last minute decision to come to Kiawah Island and rent this cottage turned out to be a great experience. The wonderful professional and personal service from Susie made this a pleasant experience. The cottage in itself was everything we were looking for, secluded but not isolated, close to the beach with wonderful shaded pathways for walking in the community. The wonderful grill provided us with great meals on the screened in porch where we relaxed every morning and evening. We will always remember Sparrow Pond Cottage and our wedding on the beach.

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.

Clean. Quiet. Updated. With attentive manager.

We were pleasantly surprised with this lovely property. You can tell it has been recently updated. The kitchen was immaculate and well-stocked with any utensil, pot or pan we could possibly have needed. Each of the two bathrooms was spotless and very hotel-like in it's provisions. The size was perfect for my husband and I, our fifteen-year-old daughter and her friend who accompanied us. Each girl had her own room which was a plus for us. Susie, the property manager was great and couldn't have been nicer. The cottage has a binder with plenty of useful information about Kiawah, local shopping, and local attractions. We referred to it often. Susie emailed several times during our stay to make sure everything was going well and I certainly appreciated her attentiveness. The cottage is obviously well-maintained. My ONLY complaints--and they are few--is that the master bedroom has very little walking space with it's king size bed. However a king size bed is a "must have" for us, so I prefer the larger bed to the extra space. The sliding patio doors do not work very well (they are probably original to the cottage). And even though the space was fine for the four of us, I think it would be too small for a larger, more boisterous family. I believe the square footage is around 1200 square feet, but most of the cottages in this part of Kiawah are around that same size. As for Kiawah, it is quiet and well-maintained. We enjoyed being in the West Beach Village area since it is do close to Fresh Fields with it's excellent shopping. The grocery store there reminds me of a small Whole Foods. There are several retail stores and restaurants. We did not feel like we needed to leave the island for anything we needed. It was a very restful vacation. I would highly recommend that you rent bikes while you're here. The two fifteen-year-olds both agreed that bike riding was one of their favorites parts of the trip. I would definitely recommend this property.
