1022 Sparrow Pond: Updated 3BR Cottage, Community Pool, Beach Gear/Bike Credit

RBL22-000306
In accordance with the Town of Kiawah Island Short Term Rental Ordinance, all guests understand that the approved number of bedrooms is 3, the maximum allowed occupancy is 6, and the maximum allowed number of vehicles is 3.

This spacious and updated Kiawah Island vacation rental has 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, access to a seasonal community pool, and is only about a 4-5 minute walk to the beach and Cougar Point Golf Club. There are many new designer touches throughout the entire cottage. There is all new lighting, ceiling fans, bedding, area rugs, kitchen floor, and many more upgrades.

Located at the end of the street, this free-standing cottage has parking for 2 vehicles underneath. Walk into the open living area and be greeted by gorgeous, dark hardwood floors. The living area has a tray ceiling, two sofas, a chair and ottoman, and a new Smart 55” TV. There is also a serene sunroom with two oversized chairs with ottomans and floor-to-ceiling windows that are great for providing natural light. A butcher block breakfast bar with two bar stools is located at the pass-through window into the kitchen. It is a great spot to grab a bite to eat, serve appetizers, or use as kitchen prep. The fully equipped kitchen offers an updated stove and microwave, white cabinets with plenty of space inside, and a food pantry.

The dining table seats six but has two additional leaves stored in the closet, and it is a great place to enjoy meals together. A convenient “bar” armoire is set up for coffee or beverages. The glass French doors in the living area lead out to a spacious screened porch with a lounge chair, table, four comfortable swivel chairs, two end chairs, and a new ceiling fan. A large laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer and a half bath complete the common areas of the cottage.

In the primary bedroom, there is a king bed, TV, access to the screened porch, reading chair, and a private bathroom with a glass door shower. There is a “Cloffice”/Closet Office set up in the primary bedroom and a reading chair and ottoman. Walk down a short hallway and you will find two other bedrooms. The first has a queen bed and access to a private bathroom with tub/shower combo. The second guest bedroom has two twin beds, a TV, and a private bathroom with a tub/shower combo. Each bedroom has an oversized closet with plenty of storage space. A Pack N Play is available for guest use. Please note: sheets are not provided for the Pack N Play.

There are two bistro chairs and a table on the front deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee and watch the sun come up. There is also a grill available for use in the carport.

The cottage is equipped with washer, dryer, high-speed wireless internet, and Smart TV’s. There is an outside storage closet on the main level deck available for use. The seasonal community pool is approximately 55ft x 20ft and is a 3-minute walk from the cottage.

Guest reservations of 3 to 21 nights come with a valuable credit to use towards beach gear rentals during your stay! The credit amount for this property is $250. You may use your credit for bicycles, beach chairs and umbrellas, beach carts, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and more – the choice is yours!

During your stay on Kiawah Island, be sure to enjoy biking on the 30 miles of flat bike trails, golfing on one of five world-class courses, playing tennis, crabbing, fishing, swimming, and boating. Many families also enjoy the kids’ camp and nature programs at Night Heron Park.

Kiawah Island is about 40 minutes from historic Charleston, famous for incredible shopping, galleries, antique stores, museums, the South Carolina Aquarium, horse-drawn carriage rides, historic landmarks, and sumptuous dining.

Skinner wedding

Our stay was absolutely lovely. The only concern at all was food on the bedspread on the twin bed, so that was a concern for the cleaning crew and not the accommodations. The cottage was lovely and we enjoyed riding bikes and walking to the beach. It was a wonderful place to stay! Will definitely come again!

Nice

We have been going to Kiawah for decades. This property is old but well kept and clean. Several very minor maintenance items noted which were annoying but not a big deal. Would stay there again.

Very disappointed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have been renting from Akers Ellis for years and have always been happy our rental homes, until this one. I felt good renting during COVID because if the assurances that they were meeting CDC guidelines. This house was dirty and shabby. The floors were filthy, rugs were stained and unraveled. The slip overs on the sofa did not appear clean and were not on the sofas correctly. The dishwasher worked sporadically and the master sink did not drain properly. The other bathrooms had issues with sinks and toilets. This unit needs updating in a big way!

Disappointing Accomadations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is our 12th trip to Kiawah where we have rented a new place each time. This rental was by far very disappointing. The rental was a great location with a short walk to the beach (5 minutes) and had plenty of space for everyone. What's disappointing is the home is in desperate need of an update. You can tell the owners are not caring for their home. The carpets are dirty and stained, linoleum pulling up along the edges, furniture in bad shape, kitchen drawers that don't work properly, noisy appliances, leaking toilets in 2 of the bathrooms that would run all night. When you stay at an exclusive island, you expect comfortable and up to date facilities, especially at the price of this rental. I would not recommend this location to a friend or relative. Our Canada trip was canceled due to COVID, therefore, we had to make a quick decision and find a rental less than a month before arrival. There were slim pickings for rentals....looks like we got a dud.

Outdated, but clean.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage is clean and spacious. However, the kitchen needs a renovation. The appliances are very old and we had problems with the dishwasher. The furniture is covered in slip covers. It was great to have the beach gear credit. And really, it's hard to go wrong with any Kiawah trip.

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House cute and spotless. Kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook Thanksgiving dinner. We were disappointed with the construction that caused problems getting directly to beach, that would have influenced my choice. And TV's were very small, monitor size. Couldnt enjoy the parade or family movie and the tv in master didnt work at all.

Wonderful house clean and well stocked. Awesome having 3 1/2 bathrooms available. One issue was TV's were super small. And TV in master didnt work at all. Made it really hard to watch TV together. Also wasnt aware there was so much construction made beach access impossible.

Very pleased!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed in 1022 sparrow cottage the 2nd week of August. The bedroom and bathroom arrangement was perfect for our group of 6. The kitchen was sufficient. We like to cook and we were able to find enough pots and pans. If you like TV watching, this cottage would be disappointing. All of the TVs were 19” and poor quality. We didn’t really mind because we don’t care that much about television. A previous reviewer indicated boardwalk #5 was closest. Unfortunately, it was closed for construction. We used boardwalk #1and the walk was about 5-7 minutes. The pool was even closer and very enjoyable! Akers Ellis and the Vayk fear was excellent!! They were professional and did everything as promised. We hope to return next year and will definitely start with Akers Ellis.

Love sparrow pond

We have been staying in sparrow pond for over 20 years! This house is a great size and has plenty of space. The kitchen could use a little TLC and may need additional kitchen supplies if you plan on cooking very much. Great location and access to pool and beach. Brought the kiddos and it was great for them as well.

Great location and spacious living.

Unit could use some TLC, especially in the kitchen. Appliances were dirty and found flatwear and dishes unwashed. Needs new pots and pans. Only three wineglasses. Carpets need cleaning and screen door needs cleaning. Otherwise, beds were comfortable and lots of living space and great reading area.

The tv's still have vcr's built in.

It would have been an added bonus to have a deck to sit out in the sun but we enjoyed the screen porch. It was in a great location; close to the pool and beach. Now that I have had the pleasure of a pool we won't stay anywhere without pool privileges!
