About this property

OCEAN VIEWS and Best Beach Access @ Pelican Alley on Edisto Beach.

Ocean views across from the beach access! Spending the day at the beach was never easier; easy to set up a tent and bring coolers & chairs. Bring your favorite book and never leave! Retreat back to the spacious house to start your seafood dinner and drinks in a well-equipped chef's kitchen with new appliances and gas stove. Dine outdoors with ocean views & sea breezes in the screened-in porch with expandable pottery barn table, or air conditioned indoors (new HVAC unit installed 8/25) on a big farm table.

So many unique spaces to utilize such as screened in porch, sun room with couch and bistro table and chairs, living room & master bedroom with televisions (we have YouTube TV with local network channels plus cable channels, and high speed internet with streaming device to access Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or your own cable channels by using your personalized subscriptions from home), 3 Dining areas (Screened in Porch, Dining Room, and under house patio setup). Charcoal grill available (bring/buy charcoal). Plenty of room under the house for the kids to ride bikes, play cornhole, etc.

This home is available to rent daily during the Spring, Fall & Winter (2 night stay required) or in the summer by the week (4 night minimum) from Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day Weekend. Contact me with any questions!

About us: We LOVE the coast, there's no getting around it. The ocean, the inlets, the island, the history, the beach, the seafood, the sun, the waves, the sunrises, the sunsets - There is simply no place like it!!

Other Details on the House: Of the 4 bedroom closets, only 2 are locked owner closets. There is a baby pack n play available in one of the closets, as well as a child high-chair. Comforters and pillows are on all beds. You may bring your own sheets or rent them from Edisto Essentials (they rent, deliver, and pickup anything else you may need during your stay on the island).

My property managers are available should you need something attended to at the home.

Because of the higher salt content on the Island, we and the city have installed RO (reverse osmosis) systems. No need for bottled water.

Feel free to use the chairs located in the double shower storage area on the beach. They have seen better days, but they are functional. If you have need for more, call Edisto Essentials to rent, purchase at the Food Lion, or bring more from home.

Charcoal grill is available to use under house. Bring your own charcoal or buy at the Bi-Lo Grocery Store. Utensils are located in the kitchen drawers.

Check in is 4pm. Check out is 10AM.

We have keypad entry on the front door lock. Easy in with a 4 digit code.

Things to bring that make the trip more enjoyable:

Bluetooth music speaker
Books/Movies
Games
Wagon - to pull gear back and forth to the ocean if you like.
Reminder - Your linens like bath towels, wash cloths, hand towels, floor mats, and kitchen dish towels or rent them all from Edisto Essentials.

Perfect Stay for Gatherings

This home is perfect for a gathering of families! Edisto is such a charming little town, and Ryan was incredibly responsive, offering great local tips to help us make the most of our stay. We had a mix of kids (ages 1 to 6) and six adults, and the house had everything we needed, including a high chair, to keep everyone comfortable. The layout is fantastic, with spacious areas for spending time together, and the cozy, thoughtfully curated decor made it feel like a home away from home.

Birthday Week Girls Trip

I came back to Edisto for the third time for my birthday week. This house was the perfect size for my group. It was right across the beach (and a public beach access) making it quick and simple to get to the beach. The house was clean, the property manager was very responsive, and we loved our stay!

Beach across the road

Just stayed two nites. Wonderful place so close to beach it didnt matter that it was second row! You must bring your own linens - sheets and towels, TP and tissues not provided either. Throws and conforters need washed, but could just be we were there out of season - prob not many recent guests. Floors, counters, baths were clean. We didnt cook there, but kitchen was very well stocked. Communication with owner was great.- highly reco.mend.

Best long weekend

We just stayed here from Wednesday to Sunday. It was so nice that the owner was able to work with us on a long weekend instead of a full seven days. The location was perfect and the house was even better. It was perfectly laid out. We had dinner on the porch every night and relaxed in the sunroom and the living room in the morning. The kitchen was well stocked and the air condition worked great. The beds were comfortable. I would definitely stay here again and again and again. :-)

Beach Reunion

This was our first visit back to Edisto since my husband died. Our two boys grew up visiting Edisto several times a year but now they live on the west coast. They wanted their own children to see the beach they loved so much. It was a huge success and they want to go back next year! wsuccess

Last minute getaway

We made a last minute decision to go visit Charleston SC and Savanna GA. The property was located in between both destinations giving us an opportunity to see both. Property was very clean, the host Ryan was very kind in allowing us the use of some extras things that we didn’t have with us. His recommendations for places or things to do was spot on! We had a great time and would recommend the property to others.

Short vacation

We stayed 3 days in February. The house was very clean and everything was working correctly. The beach is close and the kitchen is very well equipped. The information sent us in advance was extremely helpful. There are a few cosmetic problems, but they were minor and didn’t affect the function of the house. The house is set back a little from the main road which reduces road noise.

DINING TABLE BIG ENOUGH FOR EVERYONE

The extendable dining-room table was roomy even for our group of 9 and could have held more. If you want mealtime conversation with your whole group, this is the place to stay. Also, whenever your big group has both full bathrooms in use, it's great to have the half-bath as a third option. All 3 baths are accessible from the hallway. And there's a big enclosed outdoor shower. Ocean can be seen from nearly everywhere in the house [except 1 bedroom, hall, and bathrooms]. One disadvantage: the 1-lane driveway may require some shuffling of cars--we had 3--but Cheehaw has almost no traffic, so on-street parking is possible.

About the host

Hosted by Ryan Greseth

Host profile image
We LOVE the coast, there's no getting around it. The ocean, the inlets, the island, the history, the beach, the seafood, the sun, the waves, the sunrises, the sunsets - There is simply no place like it!!

4 years ago, our family bought our dream beach house on the Edisto Island, SC, outside of Charleston. We have enjoyed updating this home to make it comfortable for our guests and our family. We look forward to getting to know you and your family, and our hope is that each stay at our home is restful, rejuvenating, and full of picture perfect memories to last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

We knew from the moment we saw the listing that we wanted Pelican Alley. If you are going to spend time and money to be at the ocean, isn't it a massive bonus to see the ocean at any time? We think you'll agree, don't rent a house at the ocean that you can't see the ocean from!

What makes this property unique

The house is directly across from beach access 9. Easy for families with kids to go to and from. Under house outdoor shower makes cleanup a breeze!
