You're never far from where you need to be with this convenient location.
The sandy beach and beautiful Atlantic ocean are only steps away in this traditional Edisto beach house. Everyone will love the open floor plan and all the room for spending great quality family time. And with two bedrooms and baths on each side of the great room everyone can be guaranteed quiet time as well. The floor plan works great for families or couples, and particularly well for extended/multiple families vacationing together. Two of the bedrooms open onto the deck for spectacular sunrise vistas. In 2021 we replaced the living room furniture, clothes dryer and refrigerator. We've added a desk with art and business supplies, and the attic was sealed with spray foam for additional heating/cooling comfort and energy efficiency. In 2022 we refinished the light maple floors throughout the house and replaced the dishwasher and disposal. In 2025 we replaced the hot tub, repainted the columns and underside of the house, and added a swing to complement our hammock under our house. We also replaced all four sliding doors. What a difference! In 2026 we added a protected 220 volt outlet under the house for fast charging EVs. Charger NOT provided.
This home sits closer to the water than the surrounding homes, giving it some of the best views on the island - visitors often compared the views from the ocean side deck to being on a ship. Guests love setting up chairs on the sand under the deck or lounging in the hammock for a shady beach experience. This home has a hot tub, nestled under the house on the beach side with views of the ocean from the tub.
This home is close to the pavilion/pier, shopping and restaurants, and sits on an expansive stretch of pristine Edisto Beach with unobstructed panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Abundant off street parking.
$325 cleaning fee (includes linens) • $200 pet fee

Living room and front bedrooms have streaming TV’s. The two rear bedrooms have Roku devices.

Hi Tiffani!
I'm so glad that y'all had a nice time! We're enjoying the house this week ourselves, and I'm utilizing that very desk as I write this response! LOL
Thank you so much for your warm review and comments. We really appreciate it, and would welcome you back anytime!
The house has been updated with good taste for the character of the house. It is very comfortable All essentials were furnished. The house has something for all ages to do. Puzzles, books, toys, corn hole and magnetic darts were enjoyed. I liked the swing outside and my son enjoyed the hammock. My granddaughters and grandson took over the hot tub. My children and grandchildren had a wonderful time until they returned to school. My sisters and their spouses visited the end of the week. We always had a good time!
When you go on vacation you are usually glad to return home. Not this time! The peace and quiet of High Tide and the rolling ocean right outside is a guarantee for relaxation. I recommend getting up at 4am or thereabouts and you will see stars like I haven't seen in decades. Living in or near cities takes this wonder away. I was in awe standing on the deck. The photo attached doesn't do it justice. John and Debbie are the most helpful hosts we have yet encountered. They have taken care of everything we could need and gave us great dining suggestions and local places to visit. We are definitely coming back.
We had a wonderful stay with a group of people from age 4 to 74! The owners are very friendly and provided lots of great recommendations. They were also very responsive and easy to communicate with.The house was even nicer than expected! Clean, comfortable, and very well stocked with plenty of games, books and kitchen supplies. You cannot beat the beachfront location!!! Ice cream, shops and restaurants were also only about a 10 minute walk away. The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of hot water for our group, and the hot tub was a fantastic bonus after a day at the beach. We'd happily stay here again!

Hi Ellen. We very much appreciate your staying with us, and your nice comments. We are delighted that y'all had a nice time, and hope you will visit us again!
Thanks!
We just had a wonderful time. The home was such a great fit for us with 10 people. I just cannot say anything bad about our stay or the home. We were especially impressed with how close we were to the ocean and of course the driftwood tree is so amazing. The setup of the home is great and the table was big enough for all of us and enough chairs. We will definitely be back.

Hi Cheryl!
We are so glad that the house suited your needs. We’ve worked hard to make it accommodating and convenient for guests. And we’re glad yall had a nice time.
We found this property to be neat and clean and well stocked with kitchen appliances. The views out the sliding doors to the ocean were breath taking. To our surprise we used the area under the deck more than any other space after swimming in the ocean. Great place for small children to keep them outside but not directly in sunlight all day. It was amazing and really enjoyed the outdoor shower. Loved the experience and booked again for next year.

We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at High Tide. And we look forward to having you back again next year.
The underside of the house is one of my favorite places too. Always has been. I felt at home there the first time we toured it, and knew it was the right house for us before I even went upstairs. lol
We had the most special time at High Tide! John and Debbie were amazing, attentive hosts. They helpfully anticipated all of our needs for the property as well as providing us with tons of info about things to do on the island. The property itself was ideal for our group of 10 (my wife and I, plus our 2 grown kids and their own families). There was plenty of space and the kitchen was very well appointed, right down to the margarita machine! The lower level was a real treat, whether to enjoy the hot tub or just relax in the breezy shade there. Mother Nature was at her best, with a variety of clear and stormy weather, together with the fabulous beach. The tides were impressive, going from 50 feet of sand at high tide then to 100 yards of sand at low tide. We were present while the sea turtle brigade guided a hatchling from the nearby sandy nest down to the water line. Really unforgettable! We've already booked for next year!

Thank you Jim! I'm glad that y'all had such a nice time, and got to see a turtle. That's always special. The shady underside of the house is one of my favorite spots too! We look forward to having y'all visit us again!
Excellent stay. The property was clean, accurately described, and steps from the beach. Check-in was simple, and communication with the host was prompt. Ideal location for a quiet, direct-oceanfront Thanksgiving getaway.”

Hi Kerry! We very much appreciate your staying at High Tide, and are delighted that y'all had a nice time. And I wanted to again apologize about the TV. It Turns out that half of the LED lights in it had gone bad. I've watched some YouTube videos, and think I can fix it when I have time! So maybe we'll have a back up. But we sincerely thank you for your understanding, AND for letting us know about it so that we could get a replacement before the next guests arrived. We hope that you will stay with us again sometime!
Fantastic location. Plenty of space for the family & great hot water!

Great beach. Set up of rooms was perfect for our group.

Thanks Julie. We think it's perfect too. As you mentioned, great room lends itself to gatherings, while the bedrooms on either side still allow for privacy. Hope you will join us again.
Has a WONDERFUL stay! The furniture and beds were so comfy! Great stocked kitchen. Nice big rooms. Decorated just like the pictures showed. Our host was excellent! Brought the family and pups. Awesome location.

Angie, We are delighted that y'all had a nice vacation. Y'all are welcome back any time, and we hope that you will choose to stay with us again.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your comments. And I'd also like to thank you for your patience as I repaired the condensation pan in the attic. After you left, we had someone in to clean all the air vents and replace the rollers on that sliding door. I'm sorry that I couldn't fix it better myself that rainy day, but appreciate you're bringing it to my attention. I'm glad y'all had a nice time!
UPDATED 12/22 I'd also like you to know that we had the floors refinished this month! They once again look great. Thanks again for your comments.
We enjoyed our first trip to Edisto. The house was large enough to accomodate 2 families and we loved being on the beach. We will definitely stay here again.

Kristin,
We are very happy that y'all had a great time at Edisto and High Tide. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
We truly enjoyed our week on the beach. Took a coupe of days to go to Charleston which was a pretty and easy drive

Allyson,
Thank you for your comments. Yes, the ride to Charleston is easy and pretty on the back roads. Beaufort is about the same short distance in the other direction, and also a lovely city. We are delighted you had a nice time. Hope you will visit with us again.
About the host
Hosted by John L Chitwood
Owners, John & Debbie Chitwood, are from the Charleston area and share a love of entertaining and enjoying the natural beauty of the Lowcountry and our wonderful beaches. We enjoy traveling, and spending time at Edisto with family and friends. We sincerely hope you will enjoy your stay with us!
Why they chose this property
Living nearby in Charleston, we wanted a vacation retreat that was easily accessible, yet still afforded us a feeling of getting away. Edisto Beach was the answer. We can be at the home in less than an hour, yet feel much further away from the every day. Much of Edisto Island is under conservation easements, and will always remain unchanged and as beautiful and unspoiled as it has for generations. We particularly enjoy the home’s close proximity to both the beach and to the Edisto Island business district. As nearly everything we need is within a short walking distance, we can park our cars under the house and not use them for a week if we don’t want to.
What makes this property unique
With 4 bedrooms separated by the central great room, the home has a traditional beach-style layout that is both functional and practical. It is perfect for vacationing with family and friends, as everyone can have their own space. My favorite space is actually under the ocean side deck. I can hang out there in the shade with my feet in the sand while the kids enjoy the waves just a few feet away.
