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.

First time in Kiawah

Lovely spot - its really the best! right at the entrance to the Island but quiet and surprisingly private considering the homes here are so close (because we chose the best time mid October) only a few occupied homes. Just a short walk to the beach which is wide and long!. I've personally never seen such fine sand that you can tell its in your shoes??? really! amazing! We had 2 small dogs which loved to walk on the beach with a leash. The house-is a very workable layout- its close quarters, but you should be spending all your time on the back deck which has a great view of the pond and the fountain that comes on at 8. This is so close to the golf course you can sleep walk over. We cycle so we brought an e-bike and road bike each. *NEW rule NO e-bikes allowed*. Work around - took road bikes on paths - Twisty and fun (go early to avoid people) took the batteries off e-bikes and went on the beach. Its Awesome, flat and goes forever!!! we alternated for a variety. Plenty of parking at this house, I compared walking around the other houses. Enjoy Kendyl

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.

Great house, great location!

We had a great time at this cottage in Kiawah! It was less than a 10 minute walk to the beach and the cottage is in a nice, quiet neighborhood. The property comes with a wagon to haul all your beach stuff, along with beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas. It was nice having all the stuff there. Easy to order bikes for delivery from Alligator bikes. You can ride right on the beach! Sandy gave many helpful suggestions of things to do and places to eat. Would stay 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!

Wonderful stay at Kiawah!

The house was perfect for our family of 4 plus 7-month lab puppy, Murphy! It had everything we needed, and we especially loved sitting on the screened in porch in the evening and listening to the frogs. An easy 10–15-minute walk or 5-minute bike ride to the beach and 10-15-minute drive or 30-minute bike ride to the Freshfields shopping area. Kiawah is beautiful, we loved the beach and the bike paths! We hope to be back!

Great Vacation Cottage

We had a great week at this cottage. It’s in a great location with a short walk to the beach. The back screened in porch is a great place to start or end your day taking in all the views and enjoying the beautiful nature Kiawah has to offer. I would highly recommend renting bikes. The property manager/owner is very quick to respond to any questions we had. It was plenty of space for our family of 4 and our two dogs. We will definitely be back ❤️

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.
