Shrimper’s Cove was a lovely home and property. We vacationed with our family and our family pet. The home was cozy with lots of character, especially the living room/dining area. We had a great time at the beach and on the dock. When the wind was more than we could take at the beach, we would enjoy sun time on the dock. My husband loved access to the marsh using his kayak. My only recommendation would be related to the beds. The mattresses were not as comfortable as we would have liked. Overall, an excellent property!

Thank you for the perfect score and for sharing such beautiful photos - those marsh views and that sunset are absolutely stunning! We are so glad Shrimper's Cove was a great fit for your family and your furry travel companion. The dock and marsh access really do make this property something special, and it sounds like your husband made the most of it on the kayak! We appreciate the feedback on the mattresses and will pass that along to the homeowners for consideration as they plan any future updates. Bed comfort can be subjective, but we always take note when it is mentioned and monitor for any repeated feedback. We hope to welcome your family back to Shrimper's Cove again soon!

The Location was excellent. The house needs some TLC. The small bedroom with the half-bath is in dire need of a new mattress and new pillows. VERY uncomfortable!!!Someone needs to finish painting the en-suite bedroom walls as the was a lone white brushstroke, very strange. The bedroom door veneer was cracked and peeling. The Half Bath door does not close or lock. Just little raggedy things, but we won't be back and won't recommend it.

Thank you for staying with us and for the kind words about the location - Shrimpers Cove really is a wonderful spot, and we are glad that part delivered. We sincerely appreciate the detailed feedback on the small bedroom and the handful of maintenance items you noticed. This is the first we have heard concerns about the mattress comfort, and we will be sharing all of your notes with the homeowners. Shrimpers Cove has a wonderful base of long-term repeat guests who have enjoyed the home through many seasons of updates and improvements, and feedback like yours helps guide what gets attention next. We hope you will consider giving Edisto Beach another chance - we have a great range of properties and happy to help find the perfect fit for your group. Best, Carolina One Edisto Vacations Team

A little disappointed

The house was old. It really needs some renevating. The rooms and bathrooms were smaller than expected. The location was great! The dock and screened porch was great!

Dear Salley, Thank you for your honest feedback. The listing photos were taken in spring 2025 and reflect the home as it is today, but we understand that every guest’s expectations are unique. We’re glad you enjoyed the dock and screened porch, and appreciate your note about interior updates. While the decks have recently been redone, we’ll pass along your input to the homeowners as they begin focusing on interior renovations. Best Regards, Carolina One Edisto Vacations Team

Beautiful property

The location was great and the house was beautiful. The dishes needed rewashed and the bathroom was not cleaned. Would also have veen nice to have a dryer that worked. Check those things when you stay. I would come back knowing these things were fixed.

Denise, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We value your feedback! We are so pleased that you enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and location offered at Shrimper's Cove on Edisto Beach. Since sharing your feedback regarding the dryer with the homeowners, they have ordered a replacement. We also shared your feedback with the home's houskeeping team so those items should not arise during future stays. We would love to be your host on Edisto during any season. We are always a phone call away! Best Regards, Carolina One Edisto Vacations Team

The house was great, the septic backed up and wouldn’t drain off, it pooled up at the bottom of the steps so we had to move some stepping stones to prevent from walking in the septic water. The yard smelled like sewage all weekend because of this problem, we tried 4 different times to call the rental office and the emergency maintenance line but couldn’t get anyone to answer so we had to just deal with it

Dear Corey, Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this to our attention. We're glad you enjoyed the house, but we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the septic issue that arose after we had checked the home for your arrival due to power surges follow Tropical Storm Debby. We understand how frustrating it must have been to deal with this during your stay. Please know that the septic system has since been repaired. We rarely experience issues with our after-hours emergency service, but unfortunately, there were lingering problems with cell service and internet connectivity due to the recent tropical storm and tornados that hit the area shortly before your arrival. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a smoother experience in the future. Best Regards, Carolina One Edisto Vacations Team
