Cook your own seafood from the local docks with our fully-equipped kitchen. Watch the pelicans from the great room, enjoy your coffee from the master suite, or step outside the master suite door onto the deck and enjoy the morning. Stroll along the beach in the evening or relax in one of the rocking chairs and enjoy the quiet serenity of Edisto with oceanfront views from all rooms.

Hellooo Mary & Richard.
We just got back home yesterday and wanted to go back to the Island already but we have to work. We had a great time again this year. Its hard to believe its been 12 years since we stayed at Mary's Dream for the first time on our honeymoon in 1999 and we have not missed a September full moon since then. The minute we unpack when we get there we feel just like it's our home too; we love this place!
Thank you both so much for sharing it with Karen and myself over the years! I will email you the dates we would like for next year in a few days. We wish you and your family Blessing ,Love and Joy for the upcoming holidays
Thanks Again!

We chose to stay in Edisto so we could visit our son who is stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort. We had everything we needed at Mary's Dream, from wi-fi for my college student to fishing for my son in the Marine Corps, beach combing and boogie boarding for the 10 year olds, not to mention the historical sites and the kayaking trip, we all found plenty to do and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and comfortable and exceeded our expectations. We loved the non-commercialized environment on Edisto Island. The people were so friendly. We can't wait to come back next year.
Thank you Richard and Mary for the best vacation we have ever taken!

Just arrived last night and woke up to a beautiful day. We have already walked the beach three times this morning. We love the way your home is set up; it feels like "home" to us already. Two weeks is not going to be enough; three weeks next year? We've definitely found our vacation home and will return as often as you allow us. Thank you!
Owner response:You are very welcome! We have had several families who return for extended vacations and are happy to help you arrange your 3 weeks renewal in our home also. We love sharing her with like minded people and are very proud of her popularity. Thank you for your comments!

On Tuesday while enjoying my morning coffee on the deck a "local" stopped by and said that he walks the beach everyday and had noticed a lot of work on the house had occurred lately and mentioned that this house is the nicest on the whole beach. I assured him that we thought so too and this was our second year visiting. Thanks again for sharing her.

Thanks you both for letting us stay in your lovely beach house again this year ,we have only been home for three weeks and want to come back right now .(Just love the new HD TV And Wi-Fi you do so much to make it feel like home) The house has never looked better ! Thank the decorator for us! I found a lot of shells this year must have been the storms out at sea and high waves, and i have never seen so many Dolphins, they were up and down the beach like clock work every day. Well like I said cant wait to come back next year, thanks you both again. We Love Marys Dream <<>> ( The Garrisons In NC) <<>>
Owner response:It gives us great pleasure to share our home with all of our guests but those who return year after year like yourselves are like family to us even though we have never met you in person. The fact that you spent your honeymoon in our home 11 years ago and have returned every year since is a sincere compliment and I look forward to hearing your comments every year when we have done something new. Thank you for loving our home almost as much as we do!

All 10 of us; grandparents, parents and kids had a great time in your special beach house. We played on the beach all day and games & cards at night. Our Lab swam and chased his ball and couldn't get enough. The way you have the deck with the gates at the top of both of the stairs was just perfect for her to be able to run and play without getting out. We loved the outside shower on the deck with hot and cold water and actually my wife and I went out there and took showers at night under the stars. Don't change a thing; don't fancy it up. Leave it the way it is!

This is our 6 year on vacation in "Mary's Dream" and every year it gets harder to leave. We always open up the windows and turn off the a/c and just let the ocean breeze come on through. After the initial shock of no a/c the kids actually had a great time and it reminded me of when I was a kid at the beach! They were all running around in bathing suits (day and night), building sandcastles and big moats and waking up the next day to see if it was all still there. The adults were able to relax on that beautiful covered deck and observe and some of us actually participated. Thank you again for such a great beach house; please don't ever tear it down and build one of those new homes there! We'll be back next year; hopefully for two weeks if you still have it open!
Owner response:We cannot tell you how much it means to us that you took the time to write such a nice review for our "Dream". We are glad to be able to contribute a respite for our guests to truly rejuvenate themselves. We look forward to having you back!

Hi Mary and Richard! I will write a check for the deposit and get it in the mail this week to secure our stay on the beach at Mary’s Dream in 2012. Thank you, thank you for considering us “family” - you’ve made a wonderful home on the beach and we feel like family every time we visit. After our first year stay I never bothered to even look at other accommodations it was a given that if we were staying in Edisto we were of course staying at Mary’s Dream – JUST like staying at a family cottage. Thanks again. ~Chris

We were just in your "Dream" for the third year in a row; it is always better than I remember. My favorites: relaxing in the rocking chair on the covered deck while the "girls" are sunbathing, cooking the shrimp on the steamer outside and then throwing them on the table you have built into the deck; I swear they taste better that way), sleeping late (!!) and just enjoying having our friends join us at the beach for a long weekend at the end of our weekly vacation. Love the new flat screen although we didn't watch it much. Thanks!

We just got home from our vacation to Edisto and staying in your wonderful home. So relaxing there. We walked the dogs all over the island, down at the south end, up to the pier, up around the state park, and to the oyster mound. We enjoyed a great meal at the Waterfront and many trips to Flowers seafood to cook fish, peel and eat shrimp, and awesome crab dip. Thanks for the tip on filling up the water containers down in town. We also enjoyed the library and made many trips to the Piggly Wiggly. Spent alot of time out on the deck and really had some nice sunshine yesterday. Thanks again for sharing your nice beach house. We loved Edisto Island and your home and will return!
