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!

Spring break with tweeners

Great options between pool, nature, and soccer field served to be a great choice for 13 and 11 yr old future professional soccer players! Definitely recommend renting bikes and the details provided by hosts about dolphin viewing created an amazing experience - a highlight! Very convenient and safe. Really enjoyed the experience.

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.
