About this property

The Dolphin | Classic Beach Bungalow Steps from the Sand | Pet Friendly

The Dolphin | Classic Beach Bungalow Steps from the Sand | 3BR, Pet Friendly

Discover the charm of "The Dolphin" (3BR/2BA; Sleeps 6 – 2Q, 1D), a classic 1955 beach bungalow offering direct beach access and the laid-back atmosphere of old Edisto. Located just across from the shoreline, this cozy and affordable island escape is perfect for families or couples looking for a no-fuss retreat by the sea.

This weathered coastal cottage has been a beloved part of the Edisto Beach landscape for generations. While it holds onto its nostalgic character, The Dolphin is equipped with modern conveniences including WiFi, a smart TV in the living room with streaming capabilities, and newer kitchen appliances. The open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area invites connection, whether you're preparing fresh local seafood or enjoying a movie night in.

Unwind on the cozy back porch or head downstairs to the ground-level patio and grill out in the salty breeze. After a day of sun and sand, rinse off in the enclosed hot and cold outdoor shower, or toss your beachwear in the convenient laundry area below.

Whether you're here for sunrise strolls, shell hunting, or quality time with loved ones, The Dolphin invites you to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories just steps from the Atlantic.
