Our guest book in the living room is filled with enthusiastic accolades from our valued guests, many of whom return each year. We invite you to make our Kiawah home your vacation home as well.

Such a great location!

This house is in a great location - easy 5 min walk to the beach, golf, pool, etc. And if you have tweens/teens, it's an easy bike ride to Fresh Fields too (which they loved)!

Kiawah family destination

This property is well equipped and has a nice layout, with the bedrooms in the corners surrounding the living area all on the second floor. Our family especially enjoyed the swimming access at the shaded community pool (as well as the ocean, of course) and the many games and puzzles.

Perfect Place To Relax

We throughly enjoyed our week on Kiawah Island. The home was perfect for our party. Plenty of space to spread out. Lots of amenities, including all the basics. It's becoming more difficult to find places that allow dogs and this was perfect. Short walk to beach. Close to Charleston. Loved Magnolias and Muse restaurants there. Hope to return.

Kiawah Stay

Great beach & location. Really liked the tree house. A few updates to the kitchen would have been ideal. We also found it difficult to find many reasonably priced restaurants close by.

Perfect Kiawah Getaway for Family and Fur Babies

This villa stands out as an exceptional choice for families seeking a pet-friendly getaway. Its thoughtful amenities, family-centric features, and prime location are blend of comfort and access to Kiawah activities. The owner thoughtfully stocks all the needed basics relieving stress of forgetting items after a long drive. There are many nearby walking and biking trails. This property sits close to the beach which was great for dog walks. It is a convenient 5-minute ride to Freshfields Village which offers groceries, a variety of great restaurants and cute retail shops. The community around the villa is friendly and welcoming. We will definitely go back and stay there for our next Kiawah trip.

Family Time

Our boys are getting older and we need a place to get away and relax with them. The house was exactly as described. It is in a perfect location and it has plenty of room for everyone on the inside. It was wonderful to sit on the screened porch and listen to the atmosphere around you. We even had some deer come and check us out! We will definitely stay here again.

Close to beach

We enjoyed out stay at this Sparrow Pond Cottage. We loved the screened porch overlooking the lagoon and use of the community pool. We also loved the close access to the beach- it was an easy 4-5 minute bike ride to a relatively uncrowded beach for the week of July 4th! Appreciated that the cottage had chairs and beach towels that we could use. It was a perfect place for our family of 4 and our dog, Bella. Sandy was great to work with- highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Sandy Meaders

My father, Joe Kay, although born in Lakeland, FL, grew up in South Carolina. After highschool in Moncks Corner, he graduated from the Citadel in 1953. My husband and I were introduced to Kiawah in 1979 and encouraged Daddy to come check out the beautiful island only 21 miles from Charleston. He purchased The Treehouse in 1986 and has shared it with renters every since!

Why they chose this property

Recently updated and refreshed, the Treehouse is your home away from home. Enjoy lounging on the new deck overlooking the life in the lagoons below. Just a 2 minute walk finds you at the brand new Cougar Point clubhouse where you can enjoy a meal, watch sporting events or play a round of golf. Our guests keep telling us how much they enjoy all the extra amenities we provide so you have few extra things to bring from home. We strive to make our place your home away from home! We love dogs and want you to bring your 4 legged children with you to enjoy (please bring their beds so that they will feel at home). Dogs can run free on the beach from October - March. Other months, you can still enjoy the beaches with your dogs on leash.
