Other things to note: 1. We want to give you a heads up about South Carolina's local wildlife – it's not unusual to encounter Palmetto bugs (similar to roaches) or even small Anole lizards sneaking into homes here. Occasionally, you might even spot a curious squirrel!

3. Please understand that this is a strict pet-free zone. We have severe allergies and asthma, so any unauthorized pets will lead to immediate eviction without a refund. You'll also be responsible for any damages incurred, such as carpet cleaning or upholstery. - This applies to service animals as this is owner occupied.

5. For your comfort, the house is fitted with window air conditioners and propane wall heaters.
6. Reservations with house rule violations will not be refunded.
7. Rentals longer than 29 days must sign a mid term rental lease.
- The house has outdoor security cameras on each porch and carport area. Tampering with cameras or WiFi can result in immediate eviction and no refund.
In light of unforeseen circumstances that may arise, we strongly advise considering the purchase of travel insurance offered by VRBO or another company. This is particularly important due to our strict cancellation policy, ensuring you have the necessary coverage and flexibility in case of unexpected events such as illness, flight cancellations, weather, natural disasters, etc.

This property is just the ideal place to relax and enjoy the nature that surrounds the cottage. The location is convenient to all the necessary attractions and eateries.I would stay there again next year if we decide to Use Edisto as our fishing destination.
The property was in a peaceful road and was nice and large for the two of us. It was well equipped with comfortable beds. A short drive to the beach and other amenities.
We enjoyed our stay. The home was well appointed with many necessary items. Our host was very responsive throughout the whole process. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone visiting Edisto Island Beach.
This home is a great, affordable place to stay in Edisto. Everything was comfortable and clean. I really appreciated that the owner doesn't allow pets as I am highly allergic. Communication was excellent from the owner. We had a nice relaxing stay and will choose this home again in the future.
Host was very accommodating. Plenty of blankets, dishware, pots and pans. Quiet nights, great star gazing area. House was clean and checkin was easy. Price was perfect for us. We will return
Our stay here was everything we'd expected.
The property was clean and met all of our expectations. Kimber was very good at communicating with us before, during, and after our visit.
Next time we're in the area we will definitely stay here again.
Amazing host, super fun place to stay. Spacious, plenty of room for 8 of us. Great location, just a few minutes away from the beach. Cant say enough about our host, she was truly amazing.
Property was perfectly described. Well equiped kitchen. Three bedrooms were great. Quiet neighborhood. We had a great time!
And a FABULOUS host in Kimber!!
Because of our weekend work schedule we were able to rent this place on a Monday-Friday basis which worked perfectly for us! House was very clean and had everything we needed. Host communication was excellent & she checked in on us through text frequently & also gave us suggestions on things to do around the Island.Very short drive to the beach, restaurants & shops. We would definitely stay again!
This was the best vacation spot. The house is well kept and just a five minute drive from the beach.
The house is very spacious. Really quiet neighborhood. Kimber is a great host that keeps in touch and answers questions in a timely manner. We plan to return soon.
We recently visited for a short stay and it was everything we needed! The house was in a great location, clean, cozy and well stocked with everything you would need. Kimber was the perfect host. She made sure we knew what to bring, checked on us while we were there and even sent a list of places to see and eat while we were there. My family and I are already talking about going back ASAP!!
My husband and I come to Edisto every year for our wedding anniversary. I have been coming to Edisto since I was a little girl and it is my home away from home. Due to Hurricane Debbie, our other house we had rented got cancelled and we had to find something else last minute. We found this sweet little house and had a few questions. The owner got back to us within minutes and she was very responsive. The house was clean and had everything we needed! It was just as described. The host even checked in on us once or twice during our stay to make sure we didn't need anything and we arrived safely. I would highly recommend staying here. It is just a short drive to the beach and marsh if you plan on going out in a boat. We were very close to the state park. The host was kind enough to let us put some corn out so we could see wildlife in the evenings. Thank you for such a wonderful stay that allowed us to make memories of a lifetime.
The stay was cozy, comfortable, clean, and peaceful. You could not ask for a better host, she was wonderful, kind, and caring. The house was very clean and I loved the rules and regulations, because they are the same at my home. The beach lovely and many shells especially if you collect them, as we do. My husband and I could not have been happier and pleased with being at their, the host home. They share their home with total strangers and they treat you like family, so if you stay please take good care of their home. I would rate beyond a ten, we will definitely love to go back. I would like to also mention the host helps you with all things, especially if you do not know the area, as for us. I would mention her name but have not used this before so I don’t know if you are supposed to say names of host. I thank you for letting us stay and anyone that goes to their home please respect and support what they ask of you, treat it as you would your own. We thank you again, our host so much, and I suggest booking this home, quickly, because I promise you will not be disappointed by no means. Thank you so much very grateful and thankful, sincerely F & B Stirewalt.
