Nestled approximately 45 miles south of Charleston and east of Walterboro, Edisto is one of South Carolina’s largest barrier islands.

Other things to note:
1. We want to give you a heads up about South Carolina's local wildlife – it's not unusual to encounter Palmetto bugs (similar to roaches) or even small Anole lizards sneaking into homes here. Occasionally, you might even spot a curious squirrel!
2. Our house runs on well water, so if you catch a whiff of sulfur, don't fret – it's perfectly normal and safe. If the smell bothers you, free water is available at the Edisto fire department, or you can grab bottled water from the nearby grocery store.
3. Please understand that this is a strict pet-free zone. We have severe allergies and asthma, so any unauthorized pets will lead to immediate eviction without a refund. You'll also be responsible for any damages incurred, such as carpet cleaning or upholstery. - This applies to service animals as this is owner occupied.
4. Smoking is strictly prohibited indoors (but feel free to smoke outside). Failure to comply will result in cleaning fees and a $250 fine.
5. For your comfort, the house is fitted with window air conditioners and propane wall heaters.
6. Reservations with house rule violations will not be refunded.
- The house has outdoor security cameras on each porch and carport area. Tampering with cameras or WiFi can result in immediate eviction and no refund.
In light of unforeseen circumstances that may arise, we strongly advise considering the purchase of travel insurance offered by VRBO or another company. This is particularly important due to our strict cancellation policy, ensuring you have the necessary coverage and flexibility in case of unexpected events such as illness, flight cancellations, weather, natural disasters, etc.
