Explore Edisto Beach from vacation home rentals
Set on Edisto Island, the lovely little town of Edisto Beach is at the edge of the ACE Basin, where the Ashepoo, Combahee, and Edisto Rivers combine to form one of the largest undeveloped estuaries on the Atlantic Coast of the U.S. The community is proud of its reputation for unspoiled natural parks and wetlands, and very little in the way of noisy industry. Vacationers come here to reconnect with the part of themselves that doesn't need to work, run errands, or gas up the car. Pick out a photogenic Edisto Beach vacation rental and just be.
Things to do
Sightseeing near Edisto Beach vacation rentals
Part of Edisto Beach's magic is its remote location and lack of commercial enterprise. Nearby attractions tend toward the serene and historical. Travel a bit outside of town (11 miles, to be exact) and visit the William Seabrook house, a plantation built around 1810 and with the gabled roof and columns that characterized the Early Republic architectural style. Then check out the Edisto Island Museum, featuring exhibits on everything from the Civil War and the island's school for African Americans, to vintage children's toys and the art of weaving a shrimp net.
