1010 Thrasher Ct, lovingly known as The Surf Shack, is a charming cottage situated in one of the best locations on the Island and is a favorite spot to many vacationers. The cottage has been completely renovated down to the studs and re-designed by the homeowner to take advantage of the view (partial ocean view from the porch plus situated on a lush lagoon), the cottage is the culmination of worldly travels so no matter where you are from you will feel right at home here! Watch the shrimp boats trolling the coast from the outdoor dining table while enjoying your morning coffee or an evening sunset cocktail. It has 180 degree views of the lagoon as well which has an abundance of wildlife. It is located in the popular Sparrow Pond community and close to all of Kiawah's amenities as well as Freshfields Village. Easily walk to the pool and beach, the access is nearby!

It also boasts newly renovated kitchen and baths, Wi-Fi internet, and top of the line appliances throughout. There are four bedrooms with plenty of room, and 4 bathrooms that all have had a full renovation and have a spa like feel. Full sized washer and dryer.

Close to everything you want it to be close to for a trip here. Amazingly spacious for its size to situate 4bed 4bath. The deck and screened porch provides a tranquil outdoor space to enjoy everything that nature offers here from watching wildlife to the breeze off the coast. Easy walk to the beach, pool, golf, etc. This is now a repeat on my list.

Reviewer Comments:
Loved the birds by the pond and our screened in porch. The fan also was a plus in that area as we spent a lot of time out there eating talking and enjoying. Kitchen was well stocked for all kinds of cooking. Fans in kitchen and living rooms helped too. Would be nice to have some comfortable chairs or couch instead of a bed type place to sit. Great stove. All the bedrooms were super tight with limited room to walk around the bed. Need more racks and hooks in the bathrooms as one in each just isn’t enough. Maybe a shelve in the bathroom attached to wall to put bathroom items. Rental folks were great with response's on any questions. Easy walk to the beautiful beach. Enjoyed!! Hope to return to the area again in the future.

Reviewer Comments:
Positives: nice kitchen, comfortable bedding and beds, clean inside, well appointed decorations. Scenic pond Negatives: 1.Screened-in porch/Back porch needed a proper cleaning, therefore, no place to sit as a family (since there is no place inside as well) since the screened in porch area was so dusty/sandy/cowebs/pinestraw etc. 2.HVAC only worked 3 of the 5 nights we were staying. “Repair”, follow-up and customer service was a hotmess. ESPM see my texts to you for details. The 80 degree nights were awful for ~$1250 a night . 3. Hornets nest over back porch door never removed as requested on the first day (since husband is highly allergic) (ESPM see email). 4. Could not open blinds in the one”scenic” bedrooms. Asked ESPM to find a solution to no avail. 4. Modem went out due to storm. Was fixed partially-Fix was Low signal and 2 TVs did not work thereafter. 5. Agree with the VRBO reviews ditch the chaise lounges and put in traditional couches (no conducive to family time). Overall the negatives outweighed the positives mainly in the fact that the follow-up from ESPM was null and void.

Reviewer Comments:
We are a family of five. We absolutely loved everything about this rental property! Not only was it immaculately clean, we loved the location in the neighborhood, the view of the lagoon, the sunrise on the house and the conveniency to the bike trails. We spent a great deal of time on the deck and porch enjoying the wild life and quality family time. We had bikes delivered and rode miles daily. We were able to ride bikes conveniently to restaurants and shopping. We made wonderful family memories! We would rent here again!
Lovely interior and perfect out of the way setting to enjoy the evenings outdoor. Property manager was excellent to work with. My daughter left some items at the house and they quickly returned to us.

We really enjoyed this little space. If the wifi single was stronger on the porch and deck, that would be nice. And there is a need for a new broom.

Reviewer Comments:
The location of the house was very good right on a pond teeming with wildlife. The kitchen was amazing, excellent equipment and appliances. The house was miserable for 8 people to live in. There was no inside dining area, just an outside screened in porch. The 2 leather lounges in the living room were difficult for several people to sit on and play games or watch TV. The mattresses in the bedrooms were worn out and the bedrooms so small you could hardly walk in them. Bathrooms were OK. The outside decks and stairs were covered in mildew and very slick when it rained. We would never rent this house again. The base rate was rather high but when you add in an additional $3600 in fees it is ridiculous. I hate to leave a negative review but these are the facts.
