The best week at the Snowy Crab

We could not have booked a better house for our week. Our son got married on Edisto Island and this house became command central. The hosts have thought of everything. Even things I didn’t know I needed they thought of. They provided all linens and towels which not all properties do but the snowy crab makes you feel right at home. The hosts are VERY easy to communicate with I highly recommend staying here you will not be disappointed!!!

Perfect House!

We were a group of 5 friends. The large living space and kitchen was great! We also loved the 4 large bedrooms and 3 baths. We spent most of our time on the screened in porch enjoying the peace and quiet- even had a visit from a deer. Enjoyed the short walk to the beach and rocking on the front porch. Check in was easy and host was responsive. Can’t wait to stay here again soon!

Special family time

We were in Edisto to celebrate the wedding of our daughter. We arrived from the upstate of SC and our son and his family traveled from Asheville, NC immediately after the devastation of Hurricane Helene. The owner went above and beyond to communicate the status of outages to us, and even allowed my brother's family to stay a few extra hours so that they could enjoy the beach and not have to hurry back home to the havoc that was taking place. I would give it 6 stars if that was an option!

Great Place for Old Friends to Connect

As a long time group of friends we had a special event to attend in Charleston and decided to stay in Edisto Beach. We found this house and we all loved the it. The openness of the kitchen, living room and dining area was perfect for us. The house was clean, well supplied and presented no unexpected surprises(sometimes what you see online is not what you get). Short walk to the beach and a nice community for our morning bike rides. We hope to return again for a longer stay.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Home with our families. We had 4 children and 4 adults and plenty of room!

Big Open Space for lots of People

Large blended family stayed altogether. The only hiccough was the description on the web mentioned the keys in a lock box, but instead the combination worked on the key pad. The owner/ manager was easy to get in touch with to make it all very easy. It was a dream for a family of 10 of all ages.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway

This property exceeded expectations! I’ve stayed at quite a few rental properties and this one was the cleanliest I’ve experienced. The home itself is so open and spacious. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit and chat. The four bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms were also so great to have. Everyone felt like they had their own space. The washer and dryer and fully stocked kitchen made our stay so convenient and relaxing. The walk to the beach was less than 5 minutes and the beach itself was relaxing and enjoyable. The property owner, Jim, was very responsive! Definitely recommend this property to other families!

Great home, wonderful location with easy access to the beach. This house accommodated my family of two young adults (college students), a high schooler with his three friends, my husband and I comfortably. The ground level entertainment was great for the boys with more than enough room for our fishing gear.

Family Vacation!

Our family vacation trip to Edisto Beach was GREAT! It was the best place for relaxing and enjoying family. The beach was only a few minutes away, and not crowded. It was an easy walk to the beach (if you have a small child bring a wagon). Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with my family. The house had everything we needed and very clean. The fun and game activities provided were greatly appreciated. Adults and children enjoyed them all. I will recommend to my friends. Thanks again for your hospitality.

I have been going to Edisto for 40 years and this is the nicest property I have ever stayed in! It was impeccably clean and the decor was fabulous.

I was in touch with the property manager on several occasions and he was very quick to respond and was extremely helpful. We will definitely be staying here again!!

What a great vacation! Edisto is very laid back. If you love the beach without other distractions, this is a great place. My wife, two sons, and two of their friends had plenty of space with a room to spare. We made good use of the well stocked kitchen. We also enjoyed the grill and games downstairs. Although we didn't need him, the owner was very responsive.
