GREAT FAMILY TIME

House was the perfect spot for our family to gather. Kids loved the top floor and the games. Kitchen was very well stocked with any appliance, pot/pan, utensil you would need. Great location for a quick walk to the beach or a longer stroll to the shops/restaurants. Hosts were easy to connect with and answered questions promptly. Had a wonderful time at Edisto Beach.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Moffatt

We live in Charlotte, NC and this home is our dream come true . We had some scary moments happen this year that made us reevaluate life and make time for what matters most... being with loved ones and counting our blessings. Hence where the name “Life's Too Short” came from. We hope you love and cherish your time at our home and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Why they chose this property

Edisto is the perfect place to unwind, and enjoy the beauty that surrounds this unbelievably special place. The slow pace and stunning sunsets keep families coming back year after year. It’s the best kept secret and one of the only uncommercialled beaches left on the east coast. I still get chills driving in under the canapy of arching live oaks and moss, old churches and the smell of the marsh. There is nothing like the low country.
