The T-house, built from Cypress wood in the 1970’s, is loaded with charm, color, and incredible light. Only a short two blocks to the beach, it’s likely one of the best values on the island with it’s recently remodeled bathrooms, hardwood floors and living room furniture. The house offers three comfortable bedrooms. The kitchen has recent upgrades including fresh paint, a new fridge, floor, counter tops and custom made window treatments. The kitchen walls are pegboard, Julia Child style as we come from a family of cooks. I've included cookbooks with regional recipes for you to try during your stay including some favorite Low Country recipes.
With all of it’s recent upgrades, it’s a terrific bang for your buck! Consider taking an spring vacation at the T-house. It's a perfect spot for special occasions and holiday's or a romantic getaway.
The spacious great room has cathedral ceilings that give a sense of being in a tree house as the house is surrounded by Palmetto Palms and Live Oak trees. It’s the perfect size for a small family, honeymooners, nature lovers, retirees, empty nesters, history buffs and artists. You’ll love having your morning coffee on the back porch while bird watching in the nearby lagoon.
My family and I have been going to Edisto since the late 70’s and have watched the island develop in wonderful ways. Located 40 miles south of Charleston, Edisto Island is chocked full of fun activities including a variety of galleries, shops and restaurants. You will be intrigued with the island’s native beauty, it’s history and the friendliness of the permanent residents.
The preservation of Edisto’s history coupled with its careful development and the islands conservation efforts have helped it become one of the best family beaches in South Carolina. Free of high-rise hotels and traffic lights, its charm is still entact.
The island’s Piggly Wiggly, a full-sized grocery store, allows you to shop for groceries, wine and beer. A liquor store is next door, and two produce stands on the island offer fruit and vegetables in season. When you are ready to dine out, there are several favorites spots including Po Pig's Barbeque, The Old Post Office and The Plantation Grille where you will find low country cooking and great seafood. There are several other fun sandwich and lunch spots to explore too!
For golfers, the islands newly restored golf course, The Plantation Course of Edisto, is reminiscent of a scene out of Jurassic Park--it’s only missing the dinosaurs. I’m told those that have golfed there have really enjoyed the course.
For nature lovers, a wonderful bike path wraps around the island and bikes and kayaks are available to rent at “Edisto Essentials.” The nearby Ace Basin Wildlife Preserve, which also houses one of the island's plantations, is a must do for lovers of wildlife, and if you want to surround yourself with nature you might like a kayak tour that meanders through the wildlife preserve. To top it all off, the island recently opened Botany Bay Plantation which you can tour yourself, or take a guided eco tours of the area that provides you with a beach in it's full untouched state as it was centuries ago. Highway 174, which brings you onto the island was just named as one of America's most scenic highways, right up there with the Blue Ridge Parkway.
If you fish, Edisto Water Sports and Tackle offers both in shore fishing charts, which run in the creeks as well as off- shore offering deep water fishing in the Atlantic. Islanders can be seen seen fishing and crabbing, shrimping in the creeks around the island.
Fun local shops and galleries are sprinkled throughout the island and are perfect for rainy day shopping.
For church goers, I’ve found all of the churches to be welcoming. The historic Presbyterian and Episcopal churches with on site graveyards are listed on the Historic S.C. register. If you like gospel music, you will find it alive and well on Sunday morning at the local African American Baptist church on the island.
If you are up for a day trip, you’re situated between historic Charleston and Beaufort and Savannah. Charleston is the closer of the three, but they are all worth a visit, and you will find them equally unique. Fine dining, lots of history, carriage rides, boat tours that take you Ft. Sumter, musems, art galleries and fine antique stores. The cities have it all.
Maybe you want to escape winter and visit this quiet, lovely island with few tourists, or perhaps you love the fall and cooler weather when oyster season begins and the shrimp are abundant. If spring is your favorite season you’ll find azaleas and wisteria vines in full bloom while watching the marsh come alive in shades of lime green. For many of us, it’s the summer that lures us to the ocean to escape the summer heat and enjoy the full bustle of the island and that’s when you will experience Edisto in full swing.
It matters not when you choose to come to Edisto because each season has it’s own mystery and beauty. So if you’re ready to get out of your rat race and kick off your shoes, then this could be your little piece of paradise. Come stay with us at the T-house, 404 Jungle Rd. You’ll be very glad you did!
To inquire about renting please contact at the numbers or e-mail below.
Linens are available for rental on the island through Edisto Essentials, or you can bring your own. Optional cleaning service is available upon departure and my local realty service is there to assist you with any necessary needs.
Mature, responsible and fun loving adults.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1978
I am a photojournalist working for a paper in the Upper Midwest. I love interior and garden design and am an advocate for protecting the environment. This T-house of ours is one of my passions. Located in the midst of my ancestral roots, 40 miles south of Charleston, I come to this gorgeous sea island of Edisto to rejuvenate myself twice a year, to unplug and relax, to visit tidal creeks and marsh areas, to see ocean views and wildlife. All of these things help prepare me for the long winters which I experience in the upper Midwest. It is unlike anything else on the coast of South Carolina. I paint, I redecorate, I cook, I visit local shops, I connect with nature and the beach, I visit old friends, and I get the house in the best shape possible for my renters.
2009 was our best season ever including guests from Ireland and France, honeymooners and a retired couple who stayed for a month in early spring. The summer was filled with families from all over the country and we packed a full house from Thanksgiving until Christmas, including a retired couple who celebrated their anniversary and danced the Tango in our living room, a honeymoon couple, and a variety of snowbirds in the winter and early spring season.
Please be sure and read the guest comments to see the fun things that folks are discovering about Edisto and the lowcountry area. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that you choose the T-house as your vacation spot this year and in year's to come.
Why the Owner Chose Edisto Beach
Because Edisto is off the beaten path, it has retained integrity and history that other coastal areas no longer have.
The Unique Benefits of this House
My house was custom decorated by me and is filled with colorful art and fabrics. I am a visual person and I like my surroundings to be attractive, so I have worked to make that happen for my guests who stay at the T-house.

We stayed at the T-House in February 2011, and spent a truly wonderful vacation there. Without knowing we had picked a very sunny week for this time of the year, and we so enjoyed the mild weather. We took many trips to Charleston, walked the city, did a carriage ride there, checked out the Children's Museum of the Low Country, the Charleston Aquarium, and visited Middleton Place, a wonderful plantation with amazing wildlife and blooming English Gardens. Botany Bay Plantation proved to be very worthy a trip as well. We plan to be back to the Island some time. Thank you for a memorable vacation in such a nice home! We loved the interior and especially the curtains!

We had a wonderful time here! We used it as a base for exploring the low country through it's nature, architecture and cuisine. We visited Charleston and had an excellent tour with Michael Trouche-10:30 AM in front of 108 Meeting St.. We did a lot of walking here on Edisto Beach--enjoyed the marshes and ocean, and at this time of year it's a very private stretch of sand and water. We ventured to the Old Post Office restaurant just up the way on Hwy 174. What a find. Fabulous 4-star dining with local specialties. Great sausage made by a crazy man in Hollywood, SC out waitress, Nicole informed us. We also took the opportunity to visit Savannah and where we found the tranquility of her squares and Forsyth Park. We enjoyed our walking tour(perhaps opting for the overview trolley would have been a good idea.) Finally, we took a cooking class at 700 Drayton with Chef Darin--authentic low country recipes--no disappointment there!! Hopefully we can bring the sun back with us to Canada.

My husband Jeff, and our daughter Sophie, and I enjoyed a wonderful week here at the T-house. We found the house to be the perfect size for our small family and especially loved the house's open floor plan and abundance of natural light. We truly appreciated all of Ginger's "finishing touches", eco-friendly cleaning products and laundry detergent, spices, etc. that truly made us feel like a "home away from home" and we equally enjoyed all of the the "extras"--beachy decor, local books and pamphlets, fabulous cookbooks--that made this feel like a real vacation. We hope to make a yearly family tradition out of Edisto Island and the T-house and look forward to visiting again. Grateful, Kim, Jeff and Sophie(Ashville, NC) P.S. We couldn't get enough out of the Sea Cow Eatery, particularly their fabulous breakfast! Their homemade pancakes are among the best we've ever had.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the T-house! We homeschool and so love to take our vacations when the pace slows down. It was perfect here on Edisto and we would love to return. We picked the T-house on the computer because the pictures looked cute and bright and we were not disappointed. I sew home decor and thought all of the window treatments and pillows added very nice touches. Very impressive! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

We had a perfect visit for a week here at the T-house! Weather-wise was consistent: 93 degree days of sun, 73 degree evenings of soft breezes, and one two hour downpour one early evening. The back porch is the perfect spot for a rain, overlooking the marsh. Saw egrets(3) each morning out back, around 7AM. We enjoyed Charleston, Beaufort, St. Helena Island and Edisto, of course. We loved the variety of beaches here in town, as well as Botany Bay and Hunting Island beaches. This house is a great place to relax and refresh oneself. We loved every bit of our stay at the T-house. We appreciated the natural, open light and the decor, as well as the spacious layout. We "ate-in" about 50% of the time because we liked being in the house so much. We hail from Chicago, Il. and had never been to South Carolina before. We found lots of friendly people, awesome nature, delicious food and history everywhere in this wonderful place. Thanks Ginger, &T-house & Edisto. Sincerely Pete & Leslie

Although our stay at the T-house was a very short one, we thoroughly enjoyed it. The open airy atmosphere coupled with the beautiful ocean colored palette would make even Neptune and the Mermaids happy. The quaint and unspoiled charm of the island is just beyond wonderful. We know we will be returning often. Thank you for allowing us to visit your very lovely cottage. James and Catherine, Bluffton, SC

We enjoyed our four days in your lovely tree top house. The state park was visited many times. It is a real treasure. We also loved all of the seafood and good fruit. The graveyards are a real history lesson and we hope to learn more on Google when we return to Ireland. This must be a birders paradise as we encountered many birds, unknown to us. Many thanks for the use of your love house.

We spent a thoroughly relaxing month in this house mid March to mid April 2009. It has everything you might need..nice walk to the beach, bike hop to the Piggly Wiggly (to get morning newspaper) and close enough to Charleston to go in if you want.
