Even though we had to bring more items than I normally need to bring for vaca it was a great way to save money and made this trip possible. The Beach was amazing and quite and being able to see the dolphins from the deck was amazing.

Absolutely perfect!

This is our second time staying in this home and it couldn’t be more perfect. Has everything you need, comfy beds, well stocked, and the views are absolutely amazing. We had short walks to watch the sunrise and we had the sunset right at our door step, stunning. Of course the dolphin watching is always incredible as well. Looking forward to our next stay!

Another wonderful week for our family!

Sunset Dolphin Watch is the perfect name for this home. Saw 7 beautiful sunsets and probably 77 dolphins! Well equipped, clean, wonderful location, stunning views. It doesn’t get much better than this!

We Can't Imagine a Better Place!

Just checked out of Sunset Dolphin Watch and we're already missing it. The house was simply outstanding in all ways, from the beautiful layout to the incredible gourmet kitchen (everything we needed for a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday week!) to the absolutely breathtaking views no matter where you looked. The house is perfect in every way, comfortable beds, wonderful furnishings, impeccably clean. It's true what they say about this house - you will not want to leave. Don't miss the sunsets from the deck, and watch for dolphins every morning and afternoon (actually we saw them off and on all day long!) Our beach was covered in shells and we just never got enough of being there - even though it was Thanksgiving the highs during the week were in the 60's and 70's. Also thanks to the owners for all the sweet, thoughtful decorating touches in the house - it really makes it feel like the house is your home away from home.

Great location, but bedbugs!

The property had plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our group and it was so convenient to the beach. Property manager was easy to work with and very responsive when we called about issues. A handyman fixed 3 wobbly barstools and tried to fix the sliding glass door that had a big gap. A handful of lightbulbs need to be replaced along with smoke alarm batteries. They were taking care of all of that, but then we discovered bedbugs. They quickly called a pest control company that discovered all life stages of bedbugs in just one of the bedrooms. Sadly, we had to move out so they could exterminate the entire house. We did receive a full refund, but had to find our own replacement accommodations. Hopefully the next renters won't have to deal with bedbugs and the mattress and boxspring in that bedroom will be replaced with new.

House completely heat treated that week and since checked again. Not sure who brought the bugs in and we did not receive the report that "all stages" had been found. As of Sept 2023 all clear.

Great location BUT...

This was our sixth visit to Edisto. We had always traveled there through our Wyndham timeshare. This time we had a larger group so we needed a larger space. This home was located exactly where we wanted to be. Pros: location, size, beach access, vanities in the upstairs bedrooms, plenty of bathroomsCons: this home is in dire need of some TLC. The deck is not safe at all! There are many nails sticking up through the deck boards and that is a hazard for all of the bare feet that came across it. The deck is also not attached to the house and the railings were very loose. Someone did come and try to stabilize it which was helpful but there's no way that the property should have been rented and that condition in the first place. The boardwalk is also a disaster. Lifted boards and lifted nails. There needs to be a thorough inspection of this home!The interior is definitely in need of some upgrades. The faucet in the kitchen leaks, the toilet and the upstairs bathroom constantly runs unless the handle is in an exact spot, the fan in the master bathroom doesn't work, etc. The TV in one of the main floor bedrooms doesn't work. It really could be a beautiful home if the owners put some effort into maintaining it.

The deck was not unsafe as we do not rent homes with anything that could hurt anyone. We do full safety inspections twice per year plus inspectors are in all of our homes after each guests stay. Owner already had planned on replacing decking boards and it was actually done the next weekend. This is just this persons opinion and unjustly left. We not only have been in the vacation rental business since 1995 we have also built over 100 custom homes. We are uploading a new pic of the upper deck and stairs to the listing.

Sunset dolphin watch

Great location and ease of rental. Concerned with floors that had soft spots. Oven was not cleaned and chose not to use…very comfortable house and enjoyed the stay…. Would recommend organization of closets and cabinets which had tons of stuff from what I assume was previous renters. Can of bed big spray on counter met me when I arrived although I did not find any evidence of bugs… may have been a preventative spray opportunity. Add said ping pong table under house… but was none…

Great house in great location!

Sunset Dolphin Watch lives up to it’s name. We watched beautiful sunsets from the porch and saw dolphins everyday. It is a comfortable beach house with a large living room/kitchen area for family and friends. The bathrooms were spacious and well maintained. It should be noted that this house is a duplex, not a full house. There are separate entrances, porches and outdoor spaces. You only share the boardwalk to the beach. Also, this house is on the sound, not “oceanfront”. There is still plenty of beach to enjoy. But, you don’t have big waves. It was perfect for our grandchildren to play on. The rental company was quick to respond to any texts we sent with questions. Hope to come back soon.

We had the absolute best time on our family vacation this year. The house was beautiful, clean, spacious and had everything (and more) that we needed. I’ve never in my life seen as many dolphins as we did this one week! We will definitely be back!

Awesome location

Great time had by all. Can’t beat this location on Edisto. My only wish is that the beds were bigger. The rooms are plenty big enough to upgrade most of the beds to King and Queen.

This house has seen better days. It badly needs maintenance.

The view was great. I never got tired of looking out the back windows. The sunsets were a postcard. However next time I would rent a house either on the ocean side or at least much closer. While the sound had beautiful sunsets and lots of shells, it also had more swampy conditions and bugs. The island itself is a nature lover’s paradise.

There were 9 of us - 6 adults and 3 small children - and the House was perfect for us.

The House was spotless, a perfect size for the nine of us, and within an easy distance from the beach. The kitchen was well-stocked, the windows were clean, the WiFi worked perfectly, and the outside deck was nicely shaded in the mornings. We didn’t even need the sixth bedroom. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

Great beach house!

I would give this property 4.5 stars if I could. It's a great beach house. It's spacious and a good house for kids. There are a lot of things we appreciated about this house: hard-surfaced floors throughout, a well-stocked kitchen, working garbage disposal, nice washer and dryer, clean upon arrival, bathrooms in good repair, functional large Weber charcoal grill, locked storage space, great location, some covered parking, dual climate control, two bedrooms on the main floor, and fabulous upstairs master shower. A few things we disliked: porch is not covered (however is shaded in the morning), not enough drawer space in the master bedrooms (and the master on the main level had broken drawers) and a worn and squeaky mattress/frame in the girl's room (though this didn't bother our four-year old). The absolute best thing about this house is the view of the sunsets! We would definitely stay here again. The water is much calmer than the Atlantic side and our four and seven-year old enjoyed wading and swimming without being knocked down by the waves. Highly recommend!

Very pleased with the property. Great floor plan for our large family

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. As it was our first visit to Edisto the property met our family’s needs. Plenty of room and right on the beach for the kids to come and go easily. We had no problems with the property and the only reason I did not give 5 stars is that it could use some TLC especially outside and updating some fixtures inside. Nothing to deter us from staying there again. I greatly appreciated the quite street!!

A fantastic beach house!

We had a wonderful time! The house was clean and it's a beach house so we had to sweep everyday because we brought sand in with us! The house is very large and we were able to spread out and not be on top of each other. We will be back!

Wonderful family vacation in a great house!

Tried to leave this before but I guess the site is messed up. This house was fantastic. All of the bedrooms and all of the bathrooms were great on their own but the two bedrooms with the vanities inside of them was a real luxury. It was very clean and we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

Great vacation!

It doesn't get any better. The reservation was easy. They emailed us back regularly late in the evening when we emailed them and we did not have to waste time going to an office and checking in; we went straight to the house and started vacation. The house is large enough for all of us to have our own space and the view is spectacular. The beach in front of the house is very private and we know why you call it Sunset Dolphin Watch; they gave us a beautiful show every day. Thank you! Thank you!

The minute we crossed onto Edisto Island, we knew we made the right choice for all 8 of us! We've been to several other islands in the area but enjoyed the quietness and home like feeling of Edisto. Everyone was pleased with your home; it was clean, accommodated our family, and the location was great! The kids enjoyed the beach right out the back door, seeing dolphins everyday, and riding bikes. We took a day trip to Charleston to tour Patriots Pier-loved it. Looking ahead we would like to return next spring to Edisto Island as long as work/school schedules allow. Thank you again, Amber

This has to be the best secret on Edisto; we had a wonderful vacation!

Thanks so much for letting us enjoy your home on vacation; the location was perfect for the children and actually for all of us! Quiet and peaceful and perfect. The kids played and the water went out so gradually that it seemed liked a big pool. I have to reiterate what one of the other people said on their review; it was really very nice to have people who would work with you back and forth at night; thank you, Richard & Mary. We have stayed on Edisto in other homes and have never had that before. This house is fully equipped and actually does sleep what they say in bedrooms; we did not feel like we packed in together. Thanks again!

A wonderful vacation!

I can't really say enough about it. We work many hours and are very busy and having Richard & Mary email us back at 10:30 pm and helping us plan our vacation was incredible; we've certainly never had that kind of customer service before and we have stayed on Edisto many times. Being able to jsut go directly to our vacation home without having to stop and check in or pick up keys, etc was also unexpected since we've never had that before and we definitely appreciate the time saving. Our family has grown over the years and having 6 bedrooms AND 4 bathrooms was fantastic. That shower in the upstairs Master Suite is extremely nice; such a luxury. Thank you!
