Less than 25 miles from the bustling streets of Historic Charleston, Kiawah Island extends into the Atlantic Ocean, revealing ten miles of sandy shoreline to the undulating surf. As part of South Carolina’s fabled Lowcountry, the Island is a nature enthusiast’s paradise of lush maritime forests and winding saltwater marshes where local flora and fauna thrive…and visitors feel like they’re a world away. Please note, Kiawah Island has a very strict town ordinance. No property should leave bikes beach gear or any other personal item outside in view from the street after dark. Guest may incur a citation if the nightly safety patrol see's these items out.

No vehicles will be permitted on the island without a pass.

Dining and Local Food
Restaurants range from casual and quick to world-class experiences. You will find a few convenience stores located throughout the island and a grocery store located in Freshfields Village. During the summer months there is a stand with local produce, food trucks and artisan crafts located off of Betsy Kerrison Parkway near the traffic circle and a weekly Farmer’s Market held at Freshfields Village.

The Beach and Activities
Strolling down the sun-filled beach and bike riding on the hard-packed sand are popular activity among many visitors. Other activities on Kiawah’s beach include surfing, kayaking, shelling, fishing, and plenty of wildlife viewing. If you’re lucky, you will catch a glimpse of dolphins playing in the gently surf. From mid-May until early August, Loggerhead turtles lay their eggs in the soft sand of the dunes.

The lush dunes and beaches of Kiawah Island boast over 300 species of both migratory and non-migratory birds. To ensure that the natural habitats of these species remain intact. The extraordinary care taken to protect the natural habitats has made Kiawah Island a wildlife sanctuary.

The 4 world-class, public courses on Kiawah include Cougar Point, Turtle Point, Osprey Point, and The Ocean Course. Oak Point is also open to the public and is located right off island.

There are over 30 miles of paved biking paths on the island and in 2010 the path from Kiawah Island to Freshfields Village opened. Either bring your bikes from home if you’re traveling by vehicle or rent them while you’re here. Most of the rental agencies in the area will deliver them directly to your accommodation on the island with no additional fee.

We had an amazing time at this property. The home was spotless and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Additionally, the Stay Duvet team were very responsive and friendly. 5-minute walk to the beach is an added bonus. I would highly recommend staying here!

Much needed alone time
I loved this property! It is beautifully decorated and appointed. I particularly like the west beach area and wanted a screen porch and deck. Short walk to the beach and I enjoyed walking around the pond. Saw deer and many birds. This felt like staying in a very nice hotel with the Duvet touches.

Perfect Little Getaway
La Mer was a very clean and comfortable house. I usually take a few cleaning supplies when I travel and they were not needed at La Mer. The kitchen was well equipped and laundry room was convenient. The host was very easy to work with! We had never been to Kiawah and we loved it! The pool and beach access were easy! I would book this property again.

Kiawah Getaway
We had a fabulous stay, only complaint was that it wasn’t long enough! We enjoyed the layout and set up of the condo. We also LOVED the location, this condo is so close to the pool and the beach. We’ve stayed at many, many places at Kiawah and this location was great. The kids liked the proximity to Freah Fields and the adults were thrilled with how close it was to the beach. We will definitely be back.

Perfect Getaway
The Sparrow Pond Cottage was a perfect getaway for our family of 5. It's an easy walk to the beach, bike ride to Freshfields and The Sanctuary. Kiawah is a great place to explore. The cottage was clean, and beds were comfortable. The hosts, Stay Duvet, touched base with me quite frequently to ensure we had an enjoyable time. We would stay here again or one of their other properties.

Wonderful in West Beach!
My husband and I stayed at this lovely property when we came to KI to view some real estate. The property was perfect, the home was so clean, loaded with fresh towels and coffee! The PM team communicated with us proactively prior to, during, and following our stay. I’d highly recommend anyone consider staying here and we will likely come back and stay here with our sons the next time we come to Ki! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
