Perfect beach cottage

We had an amazing week at this Kiawah beach cottage (4/12-4/19/25). It was well equipped and clean. The beds were comfortable. We used the washer and dryer pretty much every day. The dishwasher works well also. The host was very easy to communicate with. We had four of our own bikes, but had to rent one and the owners gave us a good recommendation on where to rent a bike from. You’re able to bike or run on trails throughout the entire island. The cottage is well shaded, as much of the island. But there is sun on the porch midday. We didn’t use the pool, but did stop in there quickly to check it out and it was easy to access. We spent our time on the beach. Would definitely recommend this to friends and consider renting again in the future ourselves!

Our Spring Break trip

This was a perfect condo for us. Very well appointed and is well located. We walked or biked everywhere. My 8 and 10 year old grandkids had a bike run in the neighborhood, and we felt quite safe letting make the run by themselves. Just could not been a better location for us! The owners could not have been more thorough in proving all a family would need for an enjoyable trip! Bring your clothes and your food…they had beach towels, buckets, shovels, chairs etc.

Great spot on beautiful Kiawah

Our family of five had a great stay at this property for a summer week vacation. It’s in a great location on Kiawah island, short walks to a pool and the beach, and a short bike ride to the nature center and night heron park. We really enjoyed it!

Great View

Sandy has a great location just behind the main gate walking distance to the cougar point clubhouse. It is about a 5 -7 minute walk to the beach and a 2 minute bike ride. The view is perfect and you can hear the waves on the deck at night. Would recommend ! Well stocked home easy check in and Sandy responds very quickly to any and all messages.

Very lovely

It's a perfect place for families to enjoy Kiawah. We've come to Kiawah every year for 16 years and this is the best equipped place we have ever rented. I'm almost hesitant to leave a good review because I don't want everybody to reserve this place before I do next year!

Beautiful home full of hospitality and thoughtful touches

We had a wonderful stay. The beach is a 7-8 minute walk through a beautiful, lush, green canopy. The pool is even closer. Chairs, beach toys, and a wagon are thoughtfully provided, along with plush beach towels. There’s a lovely deck for grilling. You can hear the ocean. The house was cozy and inviting. The kitchen was fully stocked and included the most complete spice cabinet and kitchen that I have ever seen in a rental! It made cooking family meals a pleasure. Communication was clear and directions were so helpful and complete. We had a wonderful experience. Would recommend to all!

Sounthern tranquility on Kiawah Island

The house was really nice, great space for a family of four adults. It was relaxing and quiet with beautiful views. Just a quick walk to the beach or pool. Since the community is private the beach was basically empty, which was a nice change from the beaches at home. I’d definitely recommend any property of Sandy’s. She was easy too communicate with and made sure we were enjoying our stay. Check-in and out were extremely easy. Having all linens, including beach towels provided was an added bonus. The furniture was comfortable. Only thing I’d recommend is possibly changing out the TV for a larger one in the sunroom. Otherwise everything was great.

Great view, house, and location!

Beautiful lagoon view (and glimpse of ocean) was very much enjoyed on the private, spacious deck. The layout of the house was great for family time, especially the sunroom and open kitchen! A walk or bike ride to the beach and pool was the icing on the cake! A wonderful Vrbo experience and memorable week at Kiawah!

Outstanding Kiawah location

This was our 14th vacation as a family at Kiawah. First time in Sparrow Pond and the location was terrific. Close proximity to the beach (we actually accessed Boardwalk #5), and quick trips made to FreshFields Village, Rosebank Farms and the General Store. You can hear the Atlantic from the house, which is always a plus. Sandy is a gracious host, and easy to contact. We had a terrific week.

Excellent week at the beach!

My family and I had a ball staying at Sandy’s beach house! It was very comfortable and even had a few toys for my two year old! We were grateful for the beach wagon and chairs! The listing is very accurate, and I thought it was even more lovely in person! The kitchen is stocked with all essentials, and the sheets were super comfy. I loved lounging on the deck during nap time! I highly recommend this property for your beach week!

Great house and location

We stayed here a month. House is as shown on site. Clean, beds are comfortable. Great location, a short walk to the beach. Based on what we DIDN’T see, pest control program is effective (I’m picky - worked for a manufacturer of insecticides). For these reasons, we would definitely return. Note - grill is not gas, it’s charcoal.

FAMILY Beach VACATION

Property layout and location was very accommodating for our family of 4 adults and two grandchildren 4 and 7. The location with pond directly behind rear deck was beautiful. We both walked and biked to the beach. We saw various cranes, pelicans, gators, and even a few dolphins during our stay. We went there for the beach, and it was awesome!! The water was warm, and you could walk out very far in the ocean before it got deep. The beach was not crowded, and there was a lot of it at low tide. I highly recommend this property for a family beach vacation!! Kevin and Kim from PA

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Meaders

Host profile image
Our family lives in Atlanta where my husband and I attended Atlanta high schools and colleges. Our three girls were all raised in Atlanta attending different colleges in Georgia.

Why they chose this property

Our family has grown up visiting this beautiful island and enjoy wonderful memories . My husband proposed to me at Mingo Point in 1987 and our oldest daughter was married at the PGA clubhouse in 2012. Our children continue to spend annual vacations and holidays at Kiawah with us and now we are enjoying it with our grandchildren!!

What makes this property unique

Sparrow Pond is the ideal location on Kiawah Island. You can hear the surf from our cottage and view the ocean in the distance. The fountains on the lagoon behind us are mesmerizing especially watching the sunrise. The culdesac is wonderful for having children play without the worry of traffic. The free (for our guests) pool is only a quick 5 minute walk and the beach is only a 7 minute walk. Very safe!
