About this property
Fresh & stylish house, The Octopus Oak. 650' to the beach, Dog friendly.
You'll love being so close to the beach, but secluded by the oak and palmettos out front! The Octopus Oak provides your family with everything they need to enjoy Edisto's beauty and peaceful pace. Recently renovated with new furniture, HVAC. 4 BRs 3.5 BAs (1.5 bath is Jack-n-Jill with shared soaking tub/shower). Master BR also has both freestanding soaking tub and shower. Open and well-appointed LR/DR/Kitchen area. Large screened porch with dining table, 2 Adirondack chairs, and 6 ft swing. Downstairs, you'll hang out in the outdoor entertainment area, which has a 65" TV, seating for 8, a BBQ grill, and ping pong table. Edisto is "the beach the way it used to be" - no hotels/high rises or chain restaurants/stores - only locally owned shops, casual restaurants, and farm (or ocean!)-to-table dining. Charleston's not far, if you want cultural amenities, but honestly, most people come to Edisto -- to explore, rest, soak up the sun and waves, enjoy nature, and make memories -- and they rarely leave!

About the host
Hosted by Beth Crews
Hi. We are from NC and SC, and live currently in Greenville SC. But we love Edisto... we got engaged here, in fact, and love returning whenever we can. We love nature, and the slow pace, and the wholesome environment, and the local businesses. We love the ride out here, through the maritime forests, across the waterways, spotting the birds and Spanish Oak, noticing the tides, and breathing slower and deeper. We love having friends, or any of our 6 kids (and 3 grands), to join whenever they can. We've been known to play bingo at the Lion's Club, but we haven't won yet! And we get out to Botany Bay whenever we can, too. We love hosting guests who appreciate the same things about the house and Edisto that we do.
Why they chose this property
We love the street the house is on, and the ice cream truck that drives by twice a day, and the friendly folks that you meet here. We love our beach access #11, where only bikes and golf carts are allowed, and rounding its curve to see the sea oats, sea turtle nests (in season), and expanse of ocean.
What makes this property unique
The house has been decorated to be casual but contemporary, with just what you need, but not anything that would clutter your experience. We want you to rest and enjoy and make memories. We're close to the beach, so you don't need a golf cart to get there. I think among Edisto properties, there aren't many 4 bedroom places that are pet-friendly, and our outdoor space also is a nice touch. But our absolute favorite feature of the house is the sprawling oak that welcomes you up the front stairs -- it makes the house feel like you're in a treehouse!
