Cottages for sale on Kiawah Island SC. Many homebuyers do not want to deal with an HOA, regime fees, and special assessments, but also don’t want a lot of space to keep up with, usually associated with a detached home. There is also the assumption that detached houses are more expensive, and traditionally that is the case. Here on Kiawah Island, that is not necessarily true. That’s where cottages come in. Have all the joys of a smaller “less hassle” home, without the annoyance of monthly HOA dues like you have with condos and townhouses. There are a few different sections within the gates of Kiawah Island that offer just cottages for sale.  Unfortunately, there are no beachfront cottages, all the cottages and smaller home “villages” are on the inside residential blocks.
