About this property

Beachfront 4 BR, 3 bath, sleeps 12 - Fantastic Views!

The sandy beach and beautiful Atlantic ocean are only steps away in this traditional Edisto beach house. Everyone will love the open floor plan and all the room for spending great quality family time. And with two bedrooms and baths on each side of the great room everyone can be guaranteed quiet time as well. The floor plan works great for families or couples, and particularly well for extended/multiple families vacationing together. Two of the bedrooms open onto the deck for spectacular sunrise vistas.
In 2021 we replaced the living room furniture, clothes dryer and refrigerator. We've added a desk with art and business supplies, and the attic was sealed with spray foam for additional heating/cooling comfort and energy efficiency. In 2022 we refinished the light maple floors throughout the house.

This home sits closer to the water than the surrounding homes, giving it some of the best views on the island - guests have compared the views from the ocean side deck to being on a ship. Guests love setting up chairs on the sand under the deck or lounging in the hammock for a shady beach experience.
This home has a hot tub, nestled under the house on the beach side with views of the ocean from the tub.

This home is close to the pavilion/pier, shopping and restaurants, and sits on an expansive stretch of pristine Edisto Beach with unobstructed panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Abundant off street parking.

$225 cleaning fee (includes linens) • $200 pet fee

Features of the home:

Hardwood maple flooring throughout.
Enclosed laundry room with detergent provided
Wire mesh deck railing provides safety while limiting obstruction of the view.
The home has been updated and remodeled, and features an open kitchen with island, beautiful wood ceiling in great room, hardwood floors throughout, the addition of a 3rd full bathroom, and more updates to the original traditional Edisto floorplan. The deck was also renovated, with new railings and the addition of a dog/child gate. An exterior, enclosed shower has also been installed under the home with a foot wash.
Living room and front bedrooms have streaming TV’s. The two rear bedrooms have Roku devices. The house provides Hulu Plus (includes Disney and ESPN) and Netflix accounts and High -speed internet access (the highest speed we can get in Edisto).

Edisto Beach is now serviced by an island wide RO system.

Happy and Relaxed

The home was perfect for our needs. 6 adults, 2 kids and a dog. The location is so close to the ocean that you can roll out of bed, go down the back steps and step into the water at high tide. All the amenities worked and the house was not too fancy but really nice and comfortable. Pet friendly was the icing on the cake. The owner communicated by email on multiple occasions during the week which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend this property.

So many happy hours spent together on the deck overlooking the beach, playing in the surf and in the well appointed home. Everything needed and then some was provided. Highly recommend it! We hope to come back soon.

We loved this house!

We have been going to Edisto for years and have stayed in many homes. This is at the top of our list! So close to the ocean, wonderful outdoor space downstairs and laid out so conveniently inside for multiple families. And working with the host was so easy. We hope to see you next year!

Perfect Beach Thanksgiving house

We could not ask for a better VRBO, the house is in an amazing location and at high tide it looks like the house is a boat on water. The quality of furnishings, layout and kitchen appointments made for a truely relaxing & easy way to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and family (some from out of town) John was a fabulous host, quick to answer questions, provide information and went offered above customer service when it came to preparing for our Thanksgiving stay. I would not hesitate renting this house again; hoping this will become our annual tradition

Perfect Getaway

We loved our stay! Everything was exactly as advertised in the pictures and description. The owner was very helpful in answering any questions we had. He also texted things to do while we were there, which was appreciated. The view is spectacular and we loved hearing the ocean right outside. If you get the chance to stay here, do it. You will not regret it. The one and only negative was not being able to get a golf cart due to location, but since it’s near a lot of things like grocery store, ice cream, and a few restaurants, it was fine. Will bring or rent bicycles next time.

Futrell Family 2022 Feedback

Overall impression of property is good. We noticed improvements in property were made from previous year feedback. Experienced a couple of problems regarding: (1) Access to beach in from of beach house was very difficult since the incoming tide had eroded a considerable amount of sand resulting in about a 4 foot drop to beach level. Since I am partially handicap, I had to have a couple of men to lift me down, (2) A family member experienced a significant cut on the bottom of his foot from a deck screw that was not flush with the deck surface. Further inspection revealed a number of screws in the same condition. We hammered them down to prevent further injuries. Like last year, we did not experience any insect or ant problem. Recommend refinishing the wood floors, particularly in the kitchen and living area. They give the whole house the appearance of being dirty. Definitely would consider renting again.

Pros: right on the water at hightide, roomy house, great floorplan, hot tub Cons: NO DIRECT BEACH ACCESS, owner told us to cut "stairs" in the sand, illegal to do that, then he got permission for us to use the neighbors access but we had to walk onto the road andaround a fence On arrival had great difficulty with lockbox, called the numbers given to us but after several calls no one called us, we eventually got it and did leave them a message but no one bothered to followup. Hot tub had clogged filters, owner told us to clean them, he finally came out himself and then apologized for no beach access but never offered a partial refund. Furnishings worn and dirty in living area, one bedroom the bed slumped in the middle. Pros: Linens provided were clean and seemed new...overall house not bad but not as advertised. Did see live baby turtles being born and going out to sea and dolphins off the porch

A Wonderful Time at High Tide

It's hard to adequately describe the wonderful time we had at High Tide. Each morning we’d be awakened by the sunlight of dawn coming into the beach-front bedrooms, then sip coffee on the immense deck to watch the spectacle of sunrise over the water. Then each evening, the constant soothing sound of the waves would lull us to sleep. The 6-foot tides produced a constantly changing view, with a stone jetty appearing and disappearing with each cycle. High Tide is very well-appointed, with comfortable beds for 12 guests, 3 full baths and a laundry, as well as internet and TVs with streaming service in the 4 bedrooms and the large, open-concept kitchen-living-dining area. The kitchen has all of the tools and appliances you might need. A real bonus was the spacious tiki bar/patio area underneath. All of the beach chairs and equipment you might need is stored at that level and there is a wonderful hot tub that was clean and shiny and ready for having a soak after a long day at the beach. The owner, John, was very attentive and anticipated our needs. He provided a well thought out and comprehensive binder describing nearby activities and dining. We were impressed with what our neighborhood offered for groceries, dining out and souvenir shoppes. We enjoyed walking along the beach from High Tide past the ocean-front restaurant, Coots, and along further for 2 more miles of deserted state park beach. We can’t wait till our next trip to High Tide!

Beautiful beach house

This house was applauded by every one in our party. Even if nothing in the house was right the closest to the beach location wins! But the house is also great with comfortable beds, furniture, and location! The owner is very responsive and very easy to work with. We will stay here again and again!

I’ve been to Edisto a hand full of times but never beach front!! I could not have picked a better house for my family! The grandchildren had a blast on the beach and both sons and their wives loved it too. The property manager was amazing and answered any questions I had. Want to make this an annual event

John the host was so accommodating. It was a great beachfront home near shopping and restaurants. The sunrises were spectacular and listening to the waves at night put you right to sleep. Will certainly rent again. Thanks for letting us use your home. It was great being with family over the holiday. And thanks again John for being so gracious

About the host

Hosted by John L Chitwood

Host profile image
Owners, John & Debbie Chitwood, are from the Charleston area and share a love of entertaining and enjoying the natural beauty of the Lowcountry and our wonderful beaches. We enjoy traveling, and spending time at Edisto with family and friends. We sincerely hope you will enjoy your stay with us!

Why they chose this property

Living nearby in Charleston, we wanted a vacation retreat that was easily accessible, yet still afforded us a feeling of getting away. Edisto Beach was the answer. We can be at the home in less than an hour, yet feel much further away from the every day. Much of Edisto Island is under conservation easements, and will always remain unchanged and as beautiful and unspoiled as it has for generations.
We particularly enjoy the home’s close proximity to both the beach and to the Edisto Island business district. As nearly everything we need is within a short walking distance, we can park our cars under the house and not use them for a week if we don’t want to.

What makes this property unique

With 4 bedrooms separated by the central great room, the home has a traditional beach-style layout that is both functional and practical. It is perfect for vacationing with family and friends, as everyone can have their own space. My favorite space is actually under the ocean side deck. I can hang out there in the shade with my feet in the sand while the kids enjoy the waves just a few feet away.
