About this property
Kiawah Exclusives | 1023 Sparrow Pond Cottage
This well-equipped Sparrow Pond cottage has the look and feel of a true beach cottage. A short walk through the pines has you on the beach in no time. “Beau Soleil,” as it is called, is a guest favorite, with an enlarged kitchen filled with all the pots and pans you need, and a laundry room with an oversized washer and dryer. It has a smart flat screen TV in the large Carolina room with all the streaming apps installed, super-fast, Xfinity WiFi, two comfortable couches for napping after a long day in the sun, bookshelves full of great beach reads, and USB ports and night lights scattered throughout. Beau Soleil is tucked in at the end of a cul-de-sac where you can pedal your bikes on Kiawah’s wonderful bike paths, walk your bag up to Cougar Point Golf Course, or put out the beach chairs and play in the surf.
Renters particularly rave about the well-equipped kitchen, the painted pottery plates, the Keurig coffee maker, and the new, large capacity washer and dryer. There are two large skylights for extra sunlight, plus the beautiful Carolina room, which gives this cottage a breezy, open feel. New reupholstering, new bathroom fixtures and mirrors, new kitchen ovens and microwave, a new water heater, new linens, hand-selected art, and carefully curated beach books round it out.
The primary bedroom offers a new king bed, ensuite bath, and smart, flat panel television. Bedroom 2 is furnished with a queen bed and bedroom 3 includes a bunk bed with a twin bed up top and full on the bottom to create a flexible sleeping space for either 2 or 3.
A large, wraparound outdoor deck starts with a pair of new Maine rockers to enjoy, new chaise loungers, and there’s plenty of room to barbecue and eat on the back deck. Best of all – and certainly fun – this original Kiawah beach cottage still has its outdoor shower on the upper deck. That means you can look up at the trees and sky as you shower or clean off the sand after a day at the beach (which, by the way, is just a short walk down the quiet, twisting road that takes you through the beautiful oak and pine trees of Sparrow Pond).
The Sparrow Pond Cottages are island vacation rentals set in a serene setting in the West Beach Village next to the Cougar Point golf course. They are an easy walk to Kiawah Island’s 10 miles of beautiful beaches. They are on the island’s bike path, and they have access to hours of family fun in the private community pool. Discover the best of Kiawah Island from this central location. West Beach Village is located nearest to Kiawah Island’s main gate and is situated around the Cougar Point Golf Course and Clubhouse. West Beach is Kiawah’s oldest neighborhood with meandering boardwalks, mature maritime forests and a charming, Lowcountry island vibe.
Summary: A special cottage with an easy walk to the beach, a bike ride away from Freshfields Village, The Sanctuary Hotel, Night Heron Park and Kiawah Island’s world-class golf courses and tennis, and a short 40-minute drive to historic downtown Charleston.

It's a great location and very pretty unit. A few things could use addressing - such as the master bedroom door does not shut, but easy to remedy.

The cottage was pretty and was as advertised. The property management company and VRBO were wonderful. The kitchen had a couple of cleanliness issues. The mattresses need to be replaced. Otherwise, we had a wonderful time at this property!

The cottage was perfect for our group of 6 adults. It had all of the kitchen items needed, was very clean and a short walk to boardwalk 1. There were tons of books to choose from to read as well. My only negative comment would be that the pillows on the bed weren’t the greatest but overall 5 stars for this cute cottage!
You felt at home as soon as you walked through the doors. It had a wonderful little library and was stocked with everything you need for the stay along with starter items. A short walk to the pool and beach. We immensely enjoyed the bike rentals for the week and exploring the island. The cottage was a quick 5 min drive to shopping, restaurants and groceries. We loved our week stay there and plan to return.
Thank you for staying with us! We hope to see you again next time you are on Kiawah Island!
