About this property

Beachfront 4 BR, 3 bath, sleeps 12 - Hot Tub! 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 and replaced the dishwasher and disposal. In 2025 we replaced the hot tub, repainted the columns and underside of the house, and added a swing to complement our hammock under our house. We also replaced all four sliding doors. What a difference!
In 2026 we added a protected 220 volt outlet under the house for fast charging EVs. Charger NOT provided.

This home sits closer to the water than the surrounding homes, giving it some of the best views on the island - visitors often 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.

$325 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).
220 outlet under house for EV chargers. Charger NOT provided.

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

The house has been updated with good taste for the character of the house. It is very comfortable All essentials were furnished. The house has something for all ages to do. Puzzles, books, toys, corn hole and magnetic darts were enjoyed. I liked the swing outside and my son enjoyed the hammock. My granddaughters and grandson took over the hot tub. My children and grandchildren had a wonderful time until they returned to school. My sisters and their spouses visited the end of the week. We always had a good time!

We had a wonderful stay with a group of people from age 4 to 74! The owners are very friendly and provided lots of great recommendations. They were also very responsive and easy to communicate with.The house was even nicer than expected! Clean, comfortable, and very well stocked with plenty of games, books and kitchen supplies. You cannot beat the beachfront location!!! Ice cream, shops and restaurants were also only about a 10 minute walk away. The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of hot water for our group, and the hot tub was a fantastic bonus after a day at the beach. We'd happily stay here again!

We just had a wonderful time. The home was such a great fit for us with 10 people. I just cannot say anything bad about our stay or the home. We were especially impressed with how close we were to the ocean and of course the driftwood tree is so amazing. The setup of the home is great and the table was big enough for all of us and enough chairs. We will definitely be back.

We had the most special time at High Tide! John and Debbie were amazing, attentive hosts. They helpfully anticipated all of our needs for the property as well as providing us with tons of info about things to do on the island. The property itself was ideal for our group of 10 (my wife and I, plus our 2 grown kids and their own families). There was plenty of space and the kitchen was very well appointed, right down to the margarita machine! The lower level was a real treat, whether to enjoy the hot tub or just relax in the breezy shade there. Mother Nature was at her best, with a variety of clear and stormy weather, together with the fabulous beach. The tides were impressive, going from 50 feet of sand at high tide then to 100 yards of sand at low tide. We were present while the sea turtle brigade guided a hatchling from the nearby sandy nest down to the water line. Really unforgettable! We've already booked for next year!

We found this property to be neat and clean and well stocked with kitchen appliances. The views out the sliding doors to the ocean were breath taking. To our surprise we used the area under the deck more than any other space after swimming in the ocean. Great place for small children to keep them outside but not directly in sunlight all day. It was amazing and really enjoyed the outdoor shower. Loved the experience and booked again for next year.

Hi Kerry! We very much appreciate your staying at High Tide, and are delighted that y'all had a nice time. And I wanted to again apologize about the TV. It Turns out that half of the LED lights in it had gone bad. I've watched some YouTube videos, and think I can fix it when I have time! So maybe we'll have a back up. But we sincerely thank you for your understanding, AND for letting us know about it so that we could get a replacement before the next guests arrived. We hope that you will stay with us again sometime!

Hi Steve, Thanks for your comments. And I'd also like to thank you for your patience as I repaired the condensation pan in the attic.

Amazing beach home for our family of 9 dog! The home was clean and the perfect size for us all. It had everything you need including beach toys/games, beach chairs, kitchen supplies, etc! I really appreciated that there were enough comfy chairs for everyone in the main living area and on the deck. Some homes we have gotten in the past say they sleep 10, but don’t offer enough spots to gather in a central location together. You couldn’t get any closer to the ocean making falling asleep to the sound of waves and sitting on the deck watching sunrises/falls a dream. We saw dolphins, stingrays, diving seagulls, sharks! (Little ones early morning - we still felt safe to swim all day) and had fun learning from the turtle patrol about the local sea turtle nests. The town had a lot of great little restaurants, 1 touristy shop and a grocery store. We traveled to Charleston for a day and Folly Beach for a kayaking tour; all just about an hour drive. We did a fishing tour and visited a local farmers market right in town. The owner was great, communicated very well, filled us in on local events, and was very accommodating when my family had a medical emergency and ended up needing to bring a dog along. Overall, there is absolutely nothing negative any of us could find to say about this home, owner and experience.

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.
