Perfectly positioned to offer direct beach access, this original Edisto cottage is a sanctuary for those seeking a tranquil seaside retreat. The property features a nostalgic screened porch facing the dazzling Atlantic Ocean, complete with rocking chairs and a versatile table for dining or games—ideal for creating unforgettable family memories.

This meticulously maintained cottage boasts a refreshing, clean interior that invites relaxation.

Our guests often share their experiences in our guest book, with rave reviews such as, "On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm going to give this place a 15." from a visitor from Ohio and, "If you are looking for a place to relax on the beach, this is it. The beach is literally a few steps from the back, screened porch." according to a guest from Arizona.

For those seeking additional accommodation or a smaller option, consider our owner’s adjacent listing, a cozy one-bedroom escape right on the beach (VRBO#28954), just steps from the ocean yet without a direct beach view.

The home was absolutely wonderful! Our family spent a week enjoying beautiful Edisto while experiencing the very best of beach front blessings. The home was inviting, comfortable and had everything we needed for our family vacation. The ocean front back porch was absolutely dreamy and perfect for melting stress gazing at the waves. Just steps away from the beach which we all loved. The hosts were so kind and provided thoughtful hospitality. We will definitely want to stay here again!

Lovely home right on the beach…

My husband, my pup, and me enjoyed a very relaxing week at Edisto Beach. The house was very clean, the beds were comfortable with soft linens, and the screened in porch was amazing- we were right at the ocean. Can’t wait to stay again in the future!

Wonderful Place Right on the Beach

If you are looking for a place to relax on the beach, this is it. The beach is literally a few steps from the back, screened porch. We spent most of our time on that screened porch or on the beach. The house has three bedrooms and one full bath but there is a bath house under the house that has a shower, toilet, and sink, if you’d need a second bathroom. Great owner/host! We would definitely stay here again.

Perfection

I don't want to praise this place too much, because it's already so popular, but it was perfect, & exactly what we were looking for! That screened in porch with the rocking chairs was a wonderful place to hang out. A few steps & you are right on the beach. You could lay in bed & see the ocean & hear the waves! Everything was as described, & it was nice to meet the owners. I hope we get to go back someday.

Edisto Beach, a little piece of heaven

We were very impressed with the cleanliness and setup of the cottage. The weather was perfect. The full moon rising over the ocean as well as the sunrise each morning was breath taking from the screen porch. My mother who is 87 years old always had fond memories of going to the beach as a teenager. But this beach trip was one that mother as well as the rest of the family will remember for many years. Our week in this cottage was outstanding! Fred and Elizabeth T.

It’s like going back 50 years in time when you stay at Edisto Beach.

The person in charge was very helpful. An electrical issue (receptacle) related to the TV when we got there. I called for help and she responded immediately. Fortunately I was able to find the problem. As in many places the cleaning isn’t always what you think it should be but not bad.

Excellent property and great location.

This bungalow was very well appointed with great furnishings. I spent many hours on the screened patio watching the ocean. It was very quiet location. The hosts were very good communicators and addressed concerns quickly. Would highly recommend

Great beach vacation!

We had a fantastic time, couldn’t have picked a better location on Edisto island. The cottage was clean, cozy and outfitted with linens. Edisto island is a simple beach town where you can bike to everything. It’s near perfection for a relaxed beach vacation. The owners were extremely responsive and easy to work with… we will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay here... The house is cute and although others labeled it "dated", I think of it as more "nostalgic"... It had everything we needed and sitting on the screened in porch looking at the ocean was my favorite part!

Idyllic Seaside Stay

Our stay at the Sanders’ cottage was probably the most enjoyable, peaceful two weeks we’ve ever had. The cottage was comfortable and clean, the location perfect (30 steps away from the ocean), and the pace slow. The people of Edisto are wonderful, including the hosts Steve and Betty Llew. If we didn’t already have plans for next winter to visit my elderly parents, we would come back next for much longer. But there’s always 2025! Thank you, Steve and Betty Llew. It was a pleasure getting to know you…

Great week at the beach!

We love Edisto and especially this perfect cottage right on the beach. Our most favorite part is the screened-in porch where we can hear the surf and watch those amazing sunrises. We have been coming here for years and will continue.

Great trip and enjoyed being directly on the beach

We loved the screened in porch facing the ocean as well as the deck on the front on the house facing the street. The round table on the porch was used for dining outdoors. Lots of hooks on porch to hang wet beach towels and swimsuits. A plus was the outdoor shower by the back steps with hot and cold water. Kitchen had a good selection of pots and pans as well as baking dishes.

The only thing good about the home is the view!

My family and I just got back from staying at this property. To say the trip started off bad is an understatement. The entire island was without power for 10 hours our second afternoon and the entire night. Having a 9 month old this was really tough as you can imagine! The way I am I’m not going to complain and bother the owners about something out of their control. I will say something though about issues that are controllable..such as the house is super dated from all the appliances barely working to a fridge that’s in need of some maintenance and a deep clean. I could smell a nasty undertone all week from the fridge and everything we put in it smelled and tasted gross. The pre-cleaning was below sub par. The house felt dirty and the countertops had to be wiped down just to put our stuff on them initially walking in the home..same throughout the house in all the other rooms. The main bathroom has a big crack in the base the part you stand on..which actually gives when you take a shower so you feel like your going to fall through the home while trying to bathe..The owners tried to blame us for cracking the spigot where the water comes out and sending us a picture like we did it. The shower is a hot mess and was upon arrival! Upon leaving we stripped our beds and I removed the mattress pad on my bed to notice a big stain. I double checked the mattress cover just to make sure by chance nothing spilled by accident and the mattress pad was stain free. Apparently whoever cleans the home never washes the mattress pad bc we are being blamed for the “stain” as well. This home is just not worth the value it’s being rented for unless they are prepared to make some serious updates. The living room furniture is all outdoor furniture which was super uncomfortable. I was told there was 3 tvs bc I asked since I have kids. We ended up bringing one from our house as well to be on the safe side…well there was only 2 tvs (living room and one tiny/terrible one in a bedroom) thank goodness I brought a back up even though we accidentally left it there.. The day before our checkout I get a text from the owner telling me he was told we had more than six people and we had dogs. I was like are you serious with this!?! I had family and friends renting homes near us as well so we had people coming and going as most do on family vacations so this was a turn off and super invasive. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere!!

Wonderful cottage on the beach

It is a relatively small cottage. The beds fill most of the space in the bedrooms. But it is right on the beach with a wonderful view from the porch, the weather was wonderful, and it was an easy walk (or an easier bike ride) to “downtown.” About an hour drive to Charleston. The local state park has wonderful short hikes. Several local restaurants were great (eg Flowers Seafood, Tortuga’s). We will be back!
