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!
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. The house provides Hulu Plus (includes Disney and ESPN) and Netflix accounts and High -speed internet access (the highest speed we can get in Edisto).
Edisto Beach is now serviced by an island wide RO system.

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!
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.
John is wonderful to work with. Gave us information on restaurants, events, and even kept us up to date in sketchy weather approaching. Turned out, the weather was excellent. Home is inviting, comfortable, artistically enhanced with even some of the owners’ artwork. Location couldn’t be better.

LOL! We JUST replaced the water heater, so I'm delighted to know that it's working well! Sounds like y'all had a nice time. Thank you for choosing to stay with us. I hope you'll join us again.
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.
This home location was wonderful. Walking distance to town with groceries, shops, and restaurants. Beachfront location and no crowds made it feel like we had our own beach. Homeowner was very responsive to all communication.

Nicole,
We are delighted that y'all had a nice time! Edisto Beach in general is far less crowded than many other areas, but yes, having a home directly on the beach does make it feel like its yours.
And again I wanted to apologize for the hot tub not working, and very much appreciate your understanding. Y'all were very gracious about it. The motor was beyond repair, so we ended up replacing the spa with a new one... and then upgrading the electrical system to run the new spa... what a can of worms! LOL But we finally have it all squared away and up and running! And y'all can enjoy it the next time you visit.
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.
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.
This house was applauded by every one in our party. Even if nothing in the house was right the closest to the beach location wins! But the house is also great with comfortable beds, furniture, and location! The owner is very responsive and very easy to work with. We will stay here again and again!

Thank you Ann! We very much appreciate your comments, and are thrilled that y'all were comfortable and enjoyed yourself. That's what it's all about! Hope you will stay with us again.
Very well-appointed property. It had everything we could need. Both the owner and property manager couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting some restful time at the beach.

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.
The best vacation my family has had in years! This home is everything advertised and more! We definitely plan to go back and stay there again!

Thank you for the nice review, and for the lovely comments you left in the guest book. We stayed in the house ourselves right after you, and it warmed our hearts to read them. I'm so very glad that you and your family had a great time. I hope that you will join us again next year!
Property was just as wonderful as described. Clean, comfortable & over all one of the best rentals we have ever had the pleasure of staying at..

THANK YOU for your kind comments. We work hard to keep the place well maintained and stocked with everything you might need. We are glad you appreciate it, and that you had a great time.
Our family loved the location of this home most of all, and it was perfect for 3 couples, with one whole side of the home perfect for a family of 5 with small children. Owner very responsive before and after the stay. Definitely booking for next summer already!

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.
