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—an 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—plus 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 the 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—one even has a claw-foot tub.
For those who choose the third bedroom, you’ll find two 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—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.

About the host

About Property Managers, Shawn and Jeanette Lawson (Kiawah Island Getaways):
Shawn's family discovered Kiawah in 1978 and returned year after year for two-week vacations. In 1985 we drove our VW Bug convertible to Kiawah and Shawn introduced me to Kiawah. I remember stepping over the dune boardwalk out in front of the Kiawah Island Inn and seeing Kiawah's wide, sandy beach for the first time - it was so brilliant it practically danced before my eyes. It was during this vacation that the two of us decided to set our sights on moving to this beautiful and fascinating place permanently.
In 1988 our dreams came true and our U-Haul rattled across the Kiawah Island bridge (at that time it was nothing more than a wood-planked bridge). For the next four years we rented a 1-bedroom villa, 4251 Mariner's Watch. Shawn was so thrilled to be living on the island that he applied for the personalized South Carolina license plate 'KIAWAH' (which we still have today).
In 1992, we built our first home on the island at 134 Conifer Lane. During construction, I gave birth to our first son Benjamin - he arrived 2 months early in an ambulance outside of the Kiawah Island Fire Station.
In 2001, we purchased our first villa, a 1-bedroom, beachside Seascape and Kiawah Island Getaways was born. Once we got our feet wet with the villa rental business, it was a like a fever for us. We both really enjoyed furnishing, decorating and maintaining the villas - not to mention the new found fun of meeting and talking to all sorts of people about Kiawah. Because we really enjoy what we do, other Kiawah property owners noticed and we started managing their properties as well.
Our whole family loves Kiawah and running Kiawah Island Getaways is a true family-run business. We personally prepare each villa prior to your arrival - because we want your stay to be perfect. We want you to fall in love with Kiawah too...and we know you will.
