Excellent accommodations and beautiful view

We had a group of ladies reconnecting for the weekend at Dolphin Watch. All of us are originally from the Lowcountry and went to high school together and enjoyed our time together at Edisto. Very cold weekend, but the sun did come out to greet us before we left!

Dolphin Watch Edisto Beach

Furniture in the main room was worn out, it appeared to come from Goodwill. There was no pantry in the kitchen and the washer and dryer were also in the kitchen. There was no place to put your dry goods and with the washer and dryer in the kitchen, it was extremely cluttered and uncomfortable. The drains in the bathrooms, seemed to be clogged and drained very slowly.

PERFECT Relaxing vacation at a great house!

We absolutely loved staying here! The house was very roomy, clean, and accessible to the beach. Although it was a bit chilly for sunbathing, we loved being able to easily go to the beach for bocce and horseshoes. The kitchen had everything we needed, the whole house was very clean, and we had plenty of room to hang out and also some alone quiet time if needed. We loved the huge table for playing board and card games and for eating together. We will most definitely stay here next time! We also enjoyed being at the end of the island. Looking out to the ocean and seeing the other ocean and the inlet was beautiful! 5 star, would highly recommend it!

shaky house

The neighborhood was nice, but the house is on pillars so it shakes the whole time you are there because its windy near the ocean. The beach is not nice at all. Its more dirt than sand, and the walls are super thin so you can hear the dad next door yelling at his kids the whole time. The door on the shower in the master was broke and there was a "do not use" post it on the door. The view out the back window was gorgeous at sunset. There is only one restaurant in town and it is PACKED to getting carry out took about 90 minutes longer than they told us it would

Amazing Location; "Okay" house

I stayed here with some extended family and the location (edge of ocean and marshes in a low-key, incredibly beautiful beach area) as well as pet-friendly nature of the property made it a great stay for us. That said, the house itself was 'okay.' It was service-able but the carpets seemed grimey and the bedding was meh (at least in my room). NO BEACH TOWELS OR UMBRELLAS ARE PROVIDED so pack accordingly (I saw 'towels' in the amenities and incorrectly assumed this extended to beach towels so we had to go purchase those). In short, there is no real beach gear at all except for a few plastic chairs which I consider an oversight for a house on the beach at this pricepoint. The kitchen was reasonably stocked and the layout was good. If the property had some refreshing, it would be a five-star.

Edisto 2022

Overall, we loved layout of the property and the location. There are several issues with cleanliness to include mold in bathtubs and shower curtains, stained bathtubs, stains on carpet, pillows and sofas. Despite the issues regarding cleanliness, we loved the location. The views were spectacular and access to the beach and fishing were perfect for our family. A few upgrades would make this a perfect vacation home and we would love to return.

Checkin and out was very easy. The house had some areas that were in need of repair. However, we did have a storm while there and the house shifted with the strong winds.

The view was amazing. The location was perfect to see the sunsets and to view dolphins swimming by. The house was accurate in its description about the rooms and location. There were a few minor hiccups in the house but nothing big enough to spoil our trip.

Great location. House could have been better cleaned and properly supplied (only 2 dish towels for a week). Overall enjoyed the house and location. We saw many dolphins. I would stay there again.
