About this property

Secluded Beachwalk House - Great Layout for Families and Groups! Pet Friendly.

Chaika House was made for families and friends who want to enjoy a coastal getaway. Each wing has two bedrooms and a full bath, providing some separation if two families are sharing the space. The central part of the house features an open plan with a large, well-furnished kitchen (remodeled in 2021), dining area, and living room, so no one is excluded. A sliding door extends that space to a glassed-in porch. The Live Oak in the front provides a lovely and secluded view out the porch windows.
The house has no immediate neighbors and the Live Oak that gives it a secluded feel, but is only a 7-minute walk to the ocean. There is a open field next to the house that frequently is visited by deer. We keep it amply, but simply furnished to keep it comfortable, affordable, and a cottage feel.
Due to our need to keep full occupancy in the peak season, we had to choose the "firm" cancellation policy. However, our practice is to be flexible. If we are able to replace a canceled booking for the same amount, we will happily refund the full amount.
Please be sure to read the full description and review the rental agreement. To keep rates lower, we do not automatically provide bed sheets and towels. But we can arrange for these to be provided by our cleaning crew for a reasonable surcharge. Most guests opt to bring their own and save the cost for a couple good seafood meals.
Our local host makes sure the house is sanitized, tidy, and ready for each guest. In order to keep prices down, we do not charge for an extensive clean, but assume each guest will leave the house in good shape upon departure. There is a departure checklist on the refrigerator. Chaika takes the approach of house sharing, not a hotel or resort.
Finally, we welcome pets, but please be sure to indicate your plans by checking the "Traveling with Pets" box when indicating how many guests. This will automatically add the $210 pet fee to your price (plus taxes).
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Ramsay

Host profile image
I am Jim, married to Shawn. We are on staff of a global mission agency, based in Atlanta. After spending 10 years in ministry in Kazakhstan, we joined the staff team of our agency. We love to travel and experience different cultures. We have four adult children and three grandchildren. Edisto has been part of our family's story since shortly after we were married in 1984. My folks spent 10 wonderful retirement years on Edisto from 1996-2006.

Why they chose this property

"Chaika", which means "Seagull" in Russian was so named since we got the house when we moved to Kazakhstan. It reminds us of our years there and is named after a hotel in the city where we lived. We got the house to hold our equity while living overseas, but decided to hang onto it upon our return in 2006, using the rental income to cover the costs. We love helping ordinary people have an affordable beach vacation and build wonderful Edisto memories

What makes this property unique

Not many houses are as secluded as ours and yet so close to the beach. The Live Oak tree in the front provides an incredible view as well as adding to the secluded feel. We also have kept it simple in order to keep it affordable. Over the years, fewer houses are accessible to common people as they get bigger and fancier. We love to communicate with our guests and hear about their stays.
