**Property Description**
Welcome to the Shell Seeker at Sparrow Pond, a beautifully decorated beach cottage tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac on Kiawah Island. With its recent renovation, this vacation rental features a fresh, barefoot vibe that encourages you to get comfortable.

This 3-bedroom, 3-bath property accommodates up to 6 people - the ideal choice for a family vacation or a getaway with friends. The open floor plan makes it simple to wander from the kitchen to the dining room and living room, so you’re never far from the action.

The cottage’s kitchen is outfitted with elegant marble countertops, a built-in ice maker, sub-zero refrigerator, and Wolf range – and all the pots, pans, utensils, and cookware you could possibly need. At the adjacent dining area, reminisce about and unwind from a long, happy day on the beach. If you prefer, take advantage of the outdoor deck, complete with a grill and table for al fresco dining.

At The Shell Seeker at Sparrow Pond, you have your choice of places to relax and unwind. Step out on the screened-in back porch, complete with comfortable wicker seating, tranquil wooded views, and enchanting evening landscape lighting.

Feel free to kick back in the living room, which features a media center with a large smart TV and DVD player. Wireless internet, surround sound pumped through built-in speakers, and a small library of books provide ample entertainment after the sun goes down. Note: Two living room chairs and couch have cushions wrapped in down. The fireplace is decorative only (non-functioning).

The cottage’s dual master suites beckon with king-sized deluxe beds and pillow-top mattresses, Egyptian-cotton sheets, and high-end linens. Both suites have smart TVs. Both master bathrooms are spacious and well-lit with large walk-in showers – and one even has a claw-foot tub.

For those who choose the 3rd bedroom, you’ll find 2 twin beds, equally outfitted in choice bedding, a smart TV, and a bathroom with a shower/tub combination. And don’t worry if you need to throw in a load of laundry during your stay: this fully furnished retreat also has a washer and dryer.

**About The Location**
When you tear yourself away from your home-away-from-home, make sure you check out the surrounding neighborhood. Claim your spot on the nearby pristine beach, where you can swim in the calm waters of the Atlantic Ocean – located just a 5-minute walk from the front door.

Expand your explorations a bit further to find the Cougar Point Golf Course and several restaurants. The lovely historic downtown Charleston is a mere 30 minutes away.

Spotlessly clean, great for a family of 6, very close to the beach and a private pool

We will be forever grateful to Jeannette for saving our family vacation. We had a last minute reservation and they were responsive, accommodating, and very helpful. Their place was perfectly decorated, had a great layout for a family of 6, was spotlessly clean, was very close to the beach and a private pool, as well as the entrance to Kiawah. It made our trips to Charleston so much quicker than expected. We will definitely stay here again on our next vacation to Kiawah. Book now if on the fence!!! You will not regret

Fantastic home! Layout, appliances, kitchen supplies, beds, plenty of space, decor, and location are all A++. Kiawah Island Getaways is awesome; They deliver as promised!

Stayed at 3 of their properties and their attention to detail is exceptional.

Their properties are amazing! My husband and I used to stay in the hotel on the island for our annual Kiawah trip, but as our family grew we needed more space than a hotel room. We have stayed at 3 of their properties and their attention to detail is exceptional. You can tell they truly care about each property by the details that are in each property along with the investments they make to ensure you have a luxurious stay (high end appliances, bedding, etc)

Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed

Everything was perfect. The property was immaculate. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms for the whole family. Check in and check out were very simple. I would definitely stay there again when renting at Kiawah. We’ve been going to Kiawah for over thirty years now and I think this is one of the best rentals I’ve had on the island.

This unit was a quick walk to the beach, tucked away at the end of a cul de sac and beautifully appointed! Everything you needed for a beach stay with family was here.

We had a lovely time at the Shell Seeker. The home was better than pictured, the kitchen had everything you could possibly need (and then some), proximity to the pool and the beach were great for us and our littles, and the owners were very gracious hosts. Would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely plan to stay here again!

My family (two adults, three young kids) stayed at a Kiawah Island Getaways property for our summer vacation. The unit (The Shell Seeker) was in excellent condition and had pretty much everything a young family needs for a nice vacation. The property managers were responsive and helpful. We absolutely plan to stay here again.

The Property is Beautifully Decorated

by L. Bruns

5 out of 5 stars

We spent 4 nights over Memorial Day weekend with our two kids - ages 3 & 8. The property is beautifully decorated and kitchen is well stocked. Beds and pillows all comfy. We ate all our breakfasts in the home and we enjoyed all the appliances we needed to feel like home. Blender, toaster, multiple pitchers for our iced tea and fruit infused water. It really is a great set up. You will want a bike with a trailer to take anything to the beach as it’s a bit of a walk to lug bags and toys. Once at the beach entrance, we parked our bikes there then it’s another 150 yards (?) until you hit the sand. You can rent chairs and umbrellas at the beach but they are set out only 10am-5pm. We enjoyed the natural beauty of the island and the community of this property. We saw an alligator in the wild, blue heron, and we heard whip-por-wills nightly.

Kiawah Island Getaways – Shell Seeker

"What can I say but GO! Go now to Kiawah Island. We stayed at the “The Shell Seeker at Sparrow Pond” in May 2018. The house is fantastic! It was a perfect layout for two couples (two master suites) and a third bedroom for kids with the third bathroom. The screened in porch was a great place to start the day. Claw foot soaking tab was a great way to end it.
The kitchen was phenomenal. Top notch appliances, perfect layout and great stove. This beautiful house was in a quiet area and close to a great beach. Make sure and rent bikes for the beach and bike trails.
Shawn and Jeanette Lawson were great to work with for the renting of this property from Kiawah Island Getaways. We will definitely rent from them again."
