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!

Great Sparrow Pond Cottage
Cottage was in a great location to the beach and pool. Property was very clean, enough room for two or three couples and accurately described in photos! Would definitely rent again and Susie was very helpful as the manager of the property. She was extremely easy to work with and very prompt in answering all our questions!

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.

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 COTTAGE IN SPARROW POND
We really enjoyed our stay at the Sparrow Pond Cottage. We found it to be fully supplied with everthing necessary for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is newly remodeled and fully equipped. We enjoyed the screened in patio and gas grill for cooking out. Pool and beach access were very close too ! We look forward to returning to soon! Also, the manager is very nice and quick to respond to any questions!

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!

Perfect Kiawah Spot
Everything about the property was as advertised. Having linens and towels along with items such as trash bags and dish soap is really a nice touch. The screened in porch is nice but the deck area was even better. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were all great. The pool is terrific and right between the beach and the property, there is even a small baby pool in the corner. The proximity to the main gate makes it easy to get to Freshfields, even by bike. The property manager was extremely responsive and had everything emailed to me well in advance. I would have booked another week if I didn't have to work :).

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.

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.

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.

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.
