Romantic Cottage in ACE Basin rich w/ SC history

If you want to scroll through your phone and stay plugged in….The Creek House is NOT the place for you!!! If you are looking for solitude, downtime, a recharge from the grind, to watch the sun set, enjoy history and Mother Nature..then please come visit!!! The Creek House is in the heart of ACE Basin, on Bailey Creek, overlooking the South Edisto River. Build a campfire, get cozy in the cottage, view roseate spoonbills, and catch/release fish!! Property is under 24 hr surveillance. Motorized boats are not allowed.

The Creek House sits on 5 acres of high ground and surrounded by 13 acres of lush marsh and is ideal for a romantic getaway!! Bailey Creek runs through the property. Walk down a short dock and feel your stress disappear. This is a private setting w/in a neighborhood.

Full kitchen, coffee, 4 gallons of filtered water, cookware, utensils, binoculars, bug spray, kayaks, firewood, outdoor grill, floats, birdseed, and a 1981 AirDyne Schwinn stationary bicycle w/ an amazing view. An extra refrigerator is on the deck just in case you prefer to stock up. A lot of times, when you stay at The Creek House, you will close the gate behind you and not leave until your check out date.

Approx 511 sq ft on the main floor. The main bdrm is spacious w/ queen bed, organic linen sheets, a sitting area, 270 degree view, and ample storage. Double doors take you to the side deck overlooking the marsh and redfish during high tide. Wake up to morning visits from hummingbirds on your window feeders.

Guest access
The Creek House is the only dwelling on the property. Guests have full access along w access to both levels of the dock.

The Creek House is fed by a 480 ft deep well. The water has a sulfur and salinity content common to all rural properties in the area and on Edisto Beach. The ACE basin is ranked worldwide as one of the Top 5 cleanest waters and is fed by 5 various aquifers. You are provided 4 gallons of filtered water. The owners use the well water to cook, make coffee, shower, and water the plants. When we want a cold glass of refreshing water we use the filtered water. Different strokes for different folks, though!!

Much needed relaxation
Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven. We enjoyed fishing, crabbing, shrimping, bird watching, and just relaxing on the dock. The sunsets were magnificent! We felt closer to nature and more relaxed than we have in a long time. Highly recommend for a no frills, all relaxing weekend getaway.

Don't Hesitate
Can't say enough good things about this place. The moment my boyfriend and I arrived we didn't want to leave, ready to retire and live out the remainder of our days on this little slice of heaven! Was amazing to have our dog there with us, he learned to jump off the dock and went kayaking with us most mornings. Sunset view is some of the best I've ever experienced, which is rare on the east coast! We stayed over 4th of July weekend which was a hot one. Tracie foresaw the high temps and purchased another AC unit for us before we got there which was clutch! Without that we might have been uncomfortable but we were able to keep the cabin at a comfortable temp all 4 days we were there and with the property as perfect as it is we were hardly inside except for sleeping anyway. You wont regret booking this place. I'll be coming up with reasons to return in no time!

Escape to Paradise!
My husband and I took our boat and stayed 4 days. We put our boat in at Live Oak Landing to reach the ocean, which was easy. We caught dinner right on the dock most nights- crabs and fish. The house is beautifully done, comfortable with everything you may need. It was a true escape- quiet except for the many colorful birds. We hope to go back as soon as we can.

Really enjoyed our stay
It was the most relaxing and peaceful time we have had in a long time. There are beautiful marsh views. The tidal creek and marsh are full with wildlife. We enjoyed the stars. House was equipped with everything we needed. Communications with owner were stellar. Tracie was prompt and personable. We really enjoyed our stay. Note: Plan a sunset at nearby Pine Landing.

Rested and refueled
Typically when my husband and I vacation in March we head for a beach. We saw this listing and thought why not try something a little different? And boy are we soooooo glad we did! This vacation was exactly what we needed. If you love serenity, nature, paddling through picture perfect marshes, fishing, birdwatching, reading, resting, truly relaxing and enjoying all that the beautiful outdoors of South Carolina and the ACE Basin have to offer, then this is the place for you. The home has everything you might need and nothing that you don't. It's cozy and charming with lots of thoughtful touches. The views are SPECTACULAR! And Tracie could not be nicer or more helpful...she shared wonderful information about the property and the surrounding area. If you must get to the beach, Edisto Beach is only a short 15 minutes or so away. And even though the island is more rural than other barrier islands in the area, there is plenty to explore and enjoy. We loved this property and can't wait to go back!

Amazing retreat
We're local to the area and just needed a couple of days to check out from reality! We could not have found a more perfect location or host. We literally have nothing negative to say at all. This space was quiet, clean, private, and beautiful. Truly a special place.

Everything was better than advertised. Beautiful cottage on the marsh with a dock to fish or kayak or just hang out and watch the wildlife. Plenty of room for my fur baby to run around too. I was sad to leave when my stay was up. I look forward to staying again!

A Magical place.
Nature abounds. Eagles, raccoons, deer, wild turkey, hummingbirds and more. Stars at night are amazing. Truly a dark sky space. Comfortable bed. Don't plan on sleeping in. Get up with the morning light, and don't miss a minute of the day.

A special thanks to Tracie and her family for sharing their property for rent because it really is a special place. The place has everything you need to relax, unwind and enjoy the surroundings. Our dog loved exploring and we loved exploring on kayak and birdwatching. We left the place talking about when we would like to come back. Tracie was very accommodating and responsive and helpful 💚

A Small House With Huge Views!
It's rare to find a getaway vacation rental with a million-dollar view. Two days of perfect sunrises and sunsets over the ACE Basin. The sun set just over the dock to the creek with a majestic dusk sky before settling into the marsh. The Creek House on Edisto Island, SC offered us a small house with huge views. The ACE Basin is one of the largest undeveloped estuaries along the Atlantic Coast. With such a great location comes, seasonal birds, wildlife, and the serenity one only finds in nature. A great place to get grounded. We visited at one of the coldest weekends of the year. Perfect for a large firepit, a cozy blanket and crisp air. Down South, this means no bugs. During the days, the sun warmed the property and brough the songbirds out to feed off the birdfeeders on the property. We are planning a trip back in peak spring to see more of what this special property has to offer.

Perfect Edisto Creek house
This is one of those trips we will never forget! Perfectly quaint and tucked away off the beaten path, this tiny cottage was perfect! The property has incredible marsh views with large porches and windows everywhere. The dock and creek access is great and provides amazing views to take in. Kayaks and fishing poles at the dock made for some extra fun. The sitting area at the cypress point were great, as was the huge yard area. We will absolutely be back and recommend anyone looking to escape to Edisto Island to check out this piece of paradise!

Dreamy getaway on the marsh
This place was everything we could've hoped for - exactly the type of place we'd love to call home someday. From the drive in through moss-draped live oaks all the way to the edge of the dock, this whole weekend was amazing. We only needed to bring food, clothes and the dog - everything else was included. We were able to go fishing, kayaking, have a fire, grill out, swing in the hammock, and read on the porch - without having to bring a single thing! The only thing we ended up leaving for was a long walk on the beach and a stop at King's Market for fun. Tracie was so friendly and helpful when we needed anything. The house is small which made it easy to find what we needed. We'd absolutely recommend staying here for anyone thinking about it!
