Edisto Island is home to some of the best beaches in South Carolina and remains unspoiled, with just the right amount of development. The community is centered around wildlife and beaches that have veered from being overdeveloped or saturated with industrial buildings or hotels. A simplicity exists here, which is evident when watching folks pedal bikes down the street, or when catching a glimpse of the wildlife that would elsewhere be rare. Come immerse in the magic of Edisto, also referred to as “Edi-slo”, because of the laid-back pace. These are the best vacation rentals that will help you enjoy your visit to the fullest.
Oceanfront Showplace - the Island Manor
Talk about the ultimate place to spend all of your day outside. While just a few steps will take you to the beach for part of the day, if feeling like retreating from the sun, a handful of covered porches at this blue beauty await. Outdoor ceiling fans and a grill mean that lounging or sipping those margaritas and cooking up the seafood is going to be something guests will probably want to do every night.
The Hampton House
The Hampton House stands alone, neighboring Edisto across the water. It’s the place to stay when looking for a little seclusion, and a peaceful path leads directly to the ocean. Much needed serenity can be found at this four bedroom paradise with all the views. Modern elegance from the interior subtly accents the ocean, which is best viewed from the elevated porch.
Luxury Home with Elevator & Amazing Views
Wow – sunshine completely lights this open and airy home via large windows throughout various rooms and the common living space. So if you need a little sun therapy, this is the place for you. An entire family would be able to spread out here, with kids getting to fight over the top and bottom bunks, and adults finding solace in their own private space.
Best Ocean Views & Easy Beach Access
