We have stayed at this home for the past 3 years, in August. We have a had a good many family members come for a portion of time. All have enjoyed it and liked it. Edisto is a different kind of beach; very laid back and non-commercial. Most of the homes, like this one, are older, so don't expect super updated or super clean. We have never had a problem with cleanliness but it is an older house. many of the furnishings are a bit outdated but not bad. The beds are comfortable and bathrooms are pretty good. We love the location: around the point and on the sound. The beach is much nicer, the fishing is good, and the sunsets and daily dolphin runs are fantastic. Swimming is not as good as it drops off quicker and has more sharks. Many people swim there but we have caught too many sharks to feel comfortable. We swim at the State Park. We love the deck and porch. We are going in a few days for another week to DEE CEE. If it is worse or better than described, I will repost.
