Summary:

Dolphin Watch - A Side



The Space:

Dolphin Watch is a delightful home set on the beautiful banks of the St. Helena Sound. Everything you could need for a wonderful family vacation is here for your enjoyment. Kick up your feet and stay for a while! Forget about work and get ready to relax. This home was designed with guests in mind, with dual main suites, comfortable guest rooms, updated furniture that include a new dining table and bar stool, and all the little extras that will make your vacation unforgettable. A bright and poised interior will provide a lovely reminder to savor peace and quiet at the beach. Enjoy the convenient boardwalk to the beach and keep your eyes open for sea birds and dolphins playing in the surf. Chill out and enjoy the sweet Southern breeze on the ground-level patio equipped with plenty of seating, a spacious enclosed outdoor shower, and a grill for the family chef. Once the evening arrives, a well-equipped kitchen with new countertops and top-of-the-line appliances is available for cooking a Lowcountry feast.



Three bedrooms have fantastic views of the famous Edisto sunsets, and you'll love the new, luxury, premium, pillow-top, hotel-grade mattresses. Free WiFi and seven TVs will keep each guest entertained in case a brief afternoon shower interrupts your sunny day on the beach or boat. Outside, the new beachside and streetside stairs will make it easy to access the water.



If boating is on your schedule, the Marina at Edisto Beach is only a half-mile away for a convenient spot to launch the boat for a day of fishing or cruising. The Marina is also great for enjoying live music on the dock with a sunset view.



Everyone will be delighted with the perfect setting for a memorable vacation!

Nice find

We had a great weekend staying at Dolphin Watch! House was big enough for a family get together and the proximity to the beach was great.

It was a good week.

We really enjoyed ourselves. The place was adequate for our 10 adults - ages 19 - 83. We could have accommodated more, but it was nice to spread out. We could have used some more cookie sheets

Beautiful location.

Our family of 12 had a fabulous trip. The location has a boardwalk for easy access to the beach. We saw numerous dolphins every day. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Large fans are all throughout the home so everyone was comfortable! Only downside is the carpets were not very clean and the front bedroom on the first floor smelled very musty. I hope to plan a return trip to this home!
Response from VrboOwner on 17 August 2025
Hello Tina, thank you for sharing your lovely experience. We’re delighted your family enjoyed the location, easy beach access, and the fully stocked kitchen. It’s wonderful to hear the fans helped keep everyone comfortable and that you spotted dolphin, what a treat! Carpet cleaning is already scheduled, and the homeowner plans to replace the flooring during the off-season. We investigated the musty smell in the downstairs bedroom but found nothing unusual. We appreciate your feedback and are addressing these concerns. We look forward to hosting you again for another great stay!

Excellent accommodations and beautiful view

We had a group of ladies reconnecting for the weekend at Dolphin Watch. All of us are originally from the Lowcountry and went to high school together and enjoyed our time together at Edisto. Very cold weekend, but the sun did come out to greet us before we left!

Great location!

We’ve never stayed on the sound side but it was perfect! The house was good sized with a well stocked kitchen and clean. There’s some wear and tear items that could be fixed up (downstairs bathroom shower) but overall we enjoyed everything and would definitely go back.

Great house and location. Our family had an awesome time! We loved watching for the dolphins each morning and afternoon. The hammock was very relaxing when wanting to enjoy a nap. Look forward to our next trip.
