Summary:

Dolphin Watch - A Side



The Space:

Dolphin Watch is a delightful home set on the beautiful banks of the St. Helena Sound. Everything you could need for a wonderful family vacation is here for your enjoyment. Kick up your feet and stay for a while! Forget about work and get ready to relax. This home was designed with guests in mind, with dual main suites, comfortable guest rooms, updated furniture that include a new dining table and bar stool, and all the little extras that will make your vacation unforgettable. A bright and poised interior will provide a lovely reminder to savor peace and quiet at the beach. Enjoy the convenient boardwalk to the beach and keep your eyes open for sea birds and dolphins playing in the surf. Chill out and enjoy the sweet Southern breeze on the ground-level patio equipped with plenty of seating, a spacious enclosed outdoor shower, and a grill for the family chef. Once the evening arrives, a well-equipped kitchen with new countertops and top-of-the-line appliances is available for cooking a Lowcountry feast.



Three bedrooms have fantastic views of the famous Edisto sunsets, and you'll love the new, luxury, premium, pillow-top, hotel-grade mattresses. Free WiFi and seven TVs will keep each guest entertained in case a brief afternoon shower interrupts your sunny day on the beach or boat. Outside, the new beachside and streetside stairs will make it easy to access the water.



If boating is on your schedule, the Marina at Edisto Beach is only a half-mile away for a convenient spot to launch the boat for a day of fishing or cruising. The Marina is also great for enjoying live music on the dock with a sunset view.



Everyone will be delighted with the perfect setting for a memorable vacation!

It was a good week.

We really enjoyed ourselves. The place was adequate for our 10 adults - ages 19 - 83. We could have accommodated more, but it was nice to spread out. We could have used some more cookie sheets

Beautiful location.

Our family of 12 had a fabulous trip. The location has a boardwalk for easy access to the beach. We saw numerous dolphins every day. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Large fans are all throughout the home so everyone was comfortable! Only downside is the carpets were not very clean and the front bedroom on the first floor smelled very musty. I hope to plan a return trip to this home!

Excellent accommodations and beautiful view

We had a group of ladies reconnecting for the weekend at Dolphin Watch. All of us are originally from the Lowcountry and went to high school together and enjoyed our time together at Edisto. Very cold weekend, but the sun did come out to greet us before we left!

Aptly named

Dolphin watch was an amazing place for us to enjoy the wildlife at Edisto. Each day we saw 20 or more dolphins and we were also blessed to see several horseshoe crabs. The shells are plentiful and the waves are calm so all can enjoy the water without issue. We highly recommend Dolphin Watch!

Great house with comfy beds & plenty of space for 12 with stunning sunset views & just steps to the beach. Loved the sinks in 2 bedrooms, worked so well with so many people, was like having extra bathrooms.

Excellent location! 2nd time staying here.

Excellent location! It's on the bay side, so the ocean waves are nice and calm. BEAUTIFUL view! We saw dolphins each day we were there. The kitchen was fully stocked including lots of pots and pans and service for 14 or 15 people. There were several games available to play. A chest of beach toys were available outside for the children.

Great sunset views

Loved the sunset views but the home is in desperate need of refurbishing. Probably not a major problem if you come during good weather and can be outside the majority of the time. Also the deck is quite small so don’t expect to have a large group outside on it.

PERFECT Relaxing vacation at a great house!

We absolutely loved staying here! The house was very roomy, clean, and accessible to the beach. Although it was a bit chilly for sunbathing, we loved being able to easily go to the beach for bocce and horseshoes. The kitchen had everything we needed, the whole house was very clean, and we had plenty of room to hang out and also some alone quiet time if needed. We loved the huge table for playing board and card games and for eating together. We will most definitely stay here next time! We also enjoyed being at the end of the island. Looking out to the ocean and seeing the other ocean and the inlet was beautiful! 5 star, would highly recommend it!

Rental woes

The number of bedrooms and baths although most unused by us and the distance to the ocean were the finer points to this rental propriety.

Dolphin Watch Edisto Beach

Furniture in the main room was worn out, it appeared to come from Goodwill. There was no pantry in the kitchen and the washer and dryer were also in the kitchen. There was no place to put your dry goods and with the washer and dryer in the kitchen, it was extremely cluttered and uncomfortable. The drains in the bathrooms, seemed to be clogged and drained very slowly.

A beach house with great potential and slept 13 comfortably

Declaimer: Our family wanted to give this property 3.8 stars but we can’t use decimals in our ratings, so please take note of that before reading the rest of the review. Our group of 13 had a wonderful beach vacation. This waterfront property is perfect for little kids who may have limited time on the beach before needing a nap or snack. We were able to spend a couple hours out in the waves before returning back for naps and home cooked meals. This house is wonderful for large parties of 10-12. There’s plenty of plates and utensils, kitchen items (a kitchen aid, in fact, and two coffee makers) and seating downstairs under the home for some simple, quiet outdoor time. The house could use a little work with fit and finish (and could have used a deeper clean before our visit), but it was still a great time regardless of the imperfections.

Very Much in Need of Updates & Touchups

The home's location is what salvaged our family trip to Dolphin Watch. The home itself was fairly clean, but the home is in desperate need of updates. The property manager was great; lots of communication and very helpful when we had questions. The home was clean; but the condition of the furniture and overall home was not comfortable or inviting. The owner could easily invest in some upgrades and take the time to update a few basic pieces and this home would be a welcoming place to stay- particularly given it's beautiful location. This is not what we expect when we stay at Vacasa properties and the cheapness and condition of the furnishings left us very disappointed.

shaky house

The neighborhood was nice, but the house is on pillars so it shakes the whole time you are there because its windy near the ocean. The beach is not nice at all. Its more dirt than sand, and the walls are super thin so you can hear the dad next door yelling at his kids the whole time. The door on the shower in the master was broke and there was a "do not use" post it on the door. The view out the back window was gorgeous at sunset. There is only one restaurant in town and it is PACKED to getting carry out took about 90 minutes longer than they told us it would
