Cottage was pretty much what we were looking for: comfortable, convenience to the beach, and relatively reasonably prices. Would definitely benefit from a couple of chaise lounges on the porch.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Edisto Beach! The property was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was ideal—just a short walk to the beach, with beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. The home was well-stocked with everything we needed, from kitchen essentials to beach gear, making it easy to relax and enjoy our time. Communication with the host was smooth and responsive, and check-in was a breeze. Edisto Beach itself is a hidden gem—quiet, charming, and full of natural beauty. We can't wait to come back!
Home and Host were wonderful. We were in town for tournament and stayed in Edisto. Porch is fantastic and a quick walk to the beach. Thank you for a great weekend.
The house was well appointed and as described. Taylor the host wasalways available to discuss any issues and he never skipped a beat when going over arrival and departure instructions. Easy access to the beach and restaurants with a spectacular screened in porch. 5 stars
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this property. The house was great and the porch was phenomenal. The bed was extremely comfortable and we had no issues with hot water or water pressure. The location was great!! It was a quick walk to the beach and not far at all from the shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again in the future!!
We were working at the Edisto Fire Department and this house was perfect for us. The location was great and the porch was the best part. We truly enjoyed our overnight stay and wish it could have been longer. Tyler was a pleasure to work with. Our team works at Edisto annually and we plan to make this our new place to stay.
We were well pleased with the “Mud Minnow”! The host Tyler was very prompt in responding. He sent a message asking if check-in went ok! All the instructions sent were accurate! House was very clean and stocked with essentials, and nicely decorated. Enjoyed watching the wildlife around the lagoon! Only bad thing was our time spent there was too short!! Will definitely keep this place in mind when renting again! Thank you!!
A short drive from Charleston, we love Edisto and this was a fantastic place for our family. Close enough to the beach to hear the waves crashing with a nice pond view. Would totally book again. A short drive to the State Park or the education center off the island. Our toddler loved the basket of toys. Kitchen has plenty of space for cooking a meal or prepping a Frogmore stew. Maybe next time we’ll bring the boat or bikes.
This home is an absolute gem. It is a true combination of an old style Edisto beach cottage with updated features. The location is about a 5 minute walk to the beach. I can honestly say this is one of the very best homes I have rented on VRBO. It exceeded my expectaions and the owners were so easy to work and communicate with. I am already looking at dates to return this summer! You will not be dissappointed.
Mudminnow is an amazing house. The serenity of the back porch pulled my family together and allowed us to fellowship more in one week than we have in the last year. Every morning a family member would roll out of bed, get a cup of coffee and head straight to the back porch. The birds would sing, the oak trees would sway and the chimes would make music that restored our souls. Enough can’t be said about how kind and responsive Tyler was to the needs of my family. The house was fully stocked with every need that arose. It is perfectly laid out and has plenty of room for family bonding. The Mudminnow is a magical place on a magical island. We can’t wait to return.
