Relaxing getaway!

The cottage (especially the treehouse-like screened sunporch) exceeded our expectations! The location was excellent, with the beach just a short walk away. Communication with the host was easy. We hope to make it back to this same cottage some day in the future.

Perfect Kiawah house!!

Not only was our stay amazing but the property manager was so helpful and accommodating! We fled from hurricane Helene and found this to be a home away from home. We have been staying in Kiawah for over a decade and this is our favorite spot!!

Great location, clean, pet friendly, & walk to beach

My family had a great time in Kiawah with this rental property being very clean, a short walk to the beach, and pet friendly. The little things like the hose to wash off our beach gear in the carport and outdoor shower to wash off the sand before going inside was a great perk of this property. We also enjoyed the outdoor screened in porch and quiet neighborhood. The only thing that could have made this stay even better would have been if the bed linens were a little softer, especially after a day in the sun. Overall, a great stay and we will be back! Highly recommend!

Perfect family week long getaway stay!

Highly recommend this property for a family getaway! We had two adults and an infant and still had space. Pros - a king bed, a queen, a bunk room which had plenty of space for the pack and play we brought - about a 6 min walk to the beach boardwalk.. maybe 8 min total each way to the sand. This alone is the huge reason to stay here. We went back and forth to the condo for nap times and it was so easy along the bike path! - 2 min walk to the pool, right across the street - quiet secluded area that was perfect for morning and evening walks. We walked to Cougar Point for happy hour, quick drive to Harris Teeter, easy to get anywhere. - Front porch and back screened in porches were ideal for coffee, wine, and grilling. We enjoyed having a gas grill available - in unit laundry .. full size plus drying racks - small starter pack of kitchen paper towel roll, dish soap, TP roll, soaps; towels and linens included. Make sure to bring your own laundry detergent. - Susie was very communicative and easy to get in touch with. - wifi and tv worked well for mornings - large dining table for evenings The only cons were having to bring all of our own beach chairs, beach towels, etc and a somewhat small kitchen but we spent most of our time outside so it didn’t really matter. We would definitely recommend this property and stay here again next year.

Perfect for our 2 week getaway!

This was our first time to come in February and bring our dog. The condo was very clean and in a great location! For being a dog-friendly condo it was really nice. Right by my favorite bike trail and close to the beach. The condo has what you’d need to cook on the grill or in the kitchen. Bed was comfortable. Loved sitting on the private deck on sunny afternoons. Thank you for a great trip!!

Sparrow Cottage

The location of property was great, and the owner was very responsive, and quick to take care of a minor problem. But the place was not clean, the dishes were dirty and had to run them through the dishwasher before we used them. You could tell there were nose prints and hand prints all over the sliding glass doors. The out door furniture was very dirty, we had to clean that off before we used them. Also the one bathroom had hair in the tub. Its not the owners fault because she is relying on a trust worthy person ti keep the rental clean, just take Lysol wipes with you and Lysol spray and check out the dishes before you use them!

Lovely location

We really enjoyed our stay here! The property manager was very responsive. I asked a question and pantry supplies and was told nothing was provided… and I mean nothing. Be prepared to pack up your spices, baking supplies, salt/pepper. That is my only criticism. Was inconvenient cooking but luckily I knew that ahead of time because I asked. Also, bring your own hand soap for bathrooms, kitchen, etc. Location was great and it’s a cute little space for one family.

Amazing vacation

Beautiful beach house, close to the beach and the pool. The bunk beds were a bit for the kids. Kitchen small but worked for us. Oven needed to be cleaned, seems grease or something was spilled in the oven so any time we used it the smoke detector would alarm. I relayed that to the property manager so hopefully that is resolved. The grill worked great and the porch was perfect. We would definitely rent this property again!

About the host

Hosted by Kiawah By Owner - Susie Oringel

We purchased our cottage on Kiawah Island in summer of 2005, and I began renting it on VRBO during the weeks we were not able to enjoy Kiawah ourselves. In 2007, a friend on nearby Seabrook Island asked me if I would help her rent her villa also. Since I loved helping people plan their vacations in the area, I obtained my South Carolina Property Manager's License and began a business - Kiawah By Owner. I now help rent more than 25 other properties on Kiawah Island and Seabrook Island in addition to our cottage. I look forward to helping you plan your vacation - Susie Oringel
