Edisto FUN

We had a wonderful family vacation! The house was perfect for the (6) of us. The house is fabulously decorated, SO spacious and stocked with everything you will need and more! The house is (1) block from the ocean…less than a 5 min.walk. The owner is kind and quick to respond to questions. We will be back:)

Steps from the beach

Lovely house a block from the beach in a quiet neighbourhood. Lovely screen porch with ceiling fans, outdoor shower. Kitchen is a bit on the small side and needs a new toaster and a cheese grater. Lot’s of stairs obviously, it is a beach house, but would be difficult for small kids or folks with mobility issues. There is only covered parking for one car. Lots of games and puzzles provided and we really enjoyed our stay!

Grady's Retreat is a fabulous home. The back porch with plenty of seating, three fans and string lights was an afternoon retreat, even on the rainy day. The bookshelves were full of fascinating selections, from Time/Life to contemporary novels and older classics. We had games, music, and a wonderfully equipped kitchen. Two inside eating areas and a porch table, too. One became the puzzle and game gathering spot. A dog kennel tucked under the stairs - we loved the heart pine, mahogany, cork and slate materials, and the decor was inviting, too. We had a great time!

Such a great trip!

The house is beautiful, especially the wrap around porch. We spent the majority of our time out there when on the house. There is even a small ocean view. 8 of us stayed in the house and 12 other family members joined us for dinners and there was plenty of room! 2 dining room tables holding 6-8 each and a porch kitchen tale. Everyone suggested we have all of our meals here. Having no bedrooms on the main floor was really nice as well. Kitchen is well stocked, plus Cutco knives so they were sharp. Overall, id highly recommend. There is a cart to haul stuff to the beach, boogie boards, etc.

Our go to place

This was our 2nd stay and we’ve decided we don’t want to stay anywhere else! Location is perfect with the beach right across the street. House has plenty of space and feels homey and cozy. We love the porch to relax and have dinner on breezy evenings. Owner is easy to get in touch with and very responsive. It does have a lot of stairs but we didn’t find that to be a deterrent, just something to be aware of. We will absolutely stay again!

July family trip

Overall the house is fine. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, great porch, lots of books and games and close to beach. Cleanliness was ok but coffee pot was dirty and there were grounds in it. Previous renter left clothes in drawers. Had a broken shower head but owner fixed right away. Bad problem with carpenter ants in top bedroom but owner is addressing. Overall a pretty nice week.

Great Week

The property is as advertised. However, as previous reviewers have pointed out, there are a lot of steps and staircases in this unit and if you have bad/weak knees or legs you probably need to look for something else. I managed and had a perfectly enjoyable time. There is plenty of room and the screened in porch provides a pleasant coffee niche in the mornings and keeps the bugs away. I would highly recommend this unit, especially for larger groups with children.

Perfect Beach Getaway for Families!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Edisto Beach house! The location couldn't be better—just a short walk to the beach, making it incredibly convenient for those daily trips to the shore. The house itself is spacious and well laid out, allowing for plenty of family time in the common areas while also offering private spaces to retreat to when you need some quiet time. One of our favorite spots was the back screened-in porch—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation without worrying about bugs. The large family dinner table, surrounded by bookshelves, was another highlight. It was the perfect setting for gathering everyone for meals and enjoying games, stories, and laughter, with plenty of books for those quieter moments. The kitchen was nicely furnished with all the necessary items to prepare meals, making it easy to enjoy family dinners together. Overall, this house had everything we needed for a memorable and relaxing beach vacation. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

Edisto in mid May

Lovely property, and well equipped. Lots of room to spread out indoors and onto the porches. The yard and overlook from the screened-in porch is lovely. Much provided by owners and past guests. Close to the beach, shopping, amenity. HOWEVER: Big HINT: Use the downstairs outside shower and don't waste your time trying to shower in the fourth floor bath...not enough water pressure to get you clean. A lot of steps for this house. If anyone is aged or has difficulty climbing stairs, look elsewhere. If that's not an issue, definitely consider this place. Lovely, quiet place.

Nice home in great location

We rented this house for a month during July/August. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Nice home, great location, and spacious porch that was the favorite part of the house!! This home has many levels and steps - if there is a member of your party that would have problems climbing stairs this is good to know. Home has nice cookware, dishes, glasses and baking dishes. Could use additional silverware, especially if serving a large number of people. This is an older home that is comfortable but needs some "refreshing"! Bathroom water pressure (especially in the upstairs bedroom shower) needs to be addressed as well as missing stoppers in downstairs sinks. The tubs drained very slowly causing water to back up during showers. Humidity issues on very hot and humid days caused moisture drips from the kitchen ceiling but we did address owner with this problem. We did have some "insect visitors" which is probably normal for SC in the summer. House WAS serviced by pest control on the OUTSIDE! There were positives and negatives but as said we had a good stay in a great location! Also, forgot to mention that communication with owner was very good!

About the host

Our family purchased this house in April of 2021. We live full time in Charleston, SC and love the Edisto Beach area. We hope you enjoy your stay at our beach house.

Why they chose this property

This family beach home has never been on the rental market, until now. Edisto is a magical place that we love to visit. This house is great for entertaining and being close to the beach.

What makes this property unique

The house has a great porch with ocean breezes. You also have a great view of the ocean from many rooms in the house. It is a very short walk to the beach.
