About this property

Large Hot Tub! Well maintained, recently updated Oceanfront, 7 BR home, Views!

Surf Tide is a traditional style Edisto beach house, right on the beach and only a few steps from the ocean. The large deck off of the main living area (with both a covered portion and an open sundeck) provides fantastic views of the beach and ocean. This porch and deck also provide a shady area underneath in the sand below for hanging out near the beach but out of the sun.

Enjoy the hot tub on the beach-side deck, right off the great room. This spot enjoys great views of the beach and ocean while relaxing in the spa - great for cool evenings while enjoying the sunset.

This home has been extensively renovated within the past 8 years since we purchased the house. Over this time the entire house has been touched at least once. Renovations include a full renovation of the kitchen, a renovation of one of the existing upstairs bathrooms and the addition of a full bath to the upstairs floorplan, for a total of 4.5 baths. Other updates include replaced/updated decor and furnishings, the installation of custom built-in bunkbeds in 2 of the bedrooms, new flooring downstairs, renovated kitchenette downstairs, and most recently the addition of a second laundry area upstairs and also an enclosed private outdoor shower off the beach.

The open concept upstairs great room easily accommodates a large group, with even more space opening onto the very large deck. The large great room provides a large living area with comfy, new couches as well as a dining area with seating for 14, and additional seating for 4 at the kitchen island.

This upstairs floorplan of this home has 2 beach facing King bedrooms and 2 street-facing Queen/bunk bed rooms. The upstairs is laid out as a central great room with 2 bedrooms to each side. The beach side King and streetside Queen/bunk bedroom one side of the house each have an en suite bathroom, and the beachside King and streetside Queen/bunk bedroom on the other side of the great room share a hall bath.

The downstairs has another 3 bedrooms - 1 queen bedroom and 2 bedrooms that each contain 2 twin beds. There is 1 full hall bath and 1 half bath en-suite to one of the twin bed rooms downstairs, as well as a second, smaller, living area. Please note that there is currently no interior stair between the 2 floors. Instead, access between the floors is via any of the 3 exterior stairs. We have been looking into ways to add an interior stair, so hope that in the future we may have an interior access between floors.

Thanksgiving Family Gathering

Such a wonderful property! We should know… our family has been vacationing at Edisto for 45 years! This house was perfect for our matriarch, siblings and their families. Everyone had their own space and a big enough kitchen to prepare meals and feast for Thanksgiving. We loved the deck (star gazing at night was anmazing) and especially covered portion. The hot tub was a bonus for our younger crowd and they loved the apartment downstairs! It was great to walk right out to the beach and enjoy a walk and the waves. And it was dog friendly, a huge plus! We will definitely be back. Thanks for such an accommodating space!

Thank you!

Tommy and Will were wonderful with our family in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene—they cleared up the storm damage quickly under difficult circumstances. Instead of having to cancel our vacation they repaired damages and made sure the property was ready on time for our arrival. We enjoyed the upstairs deck for bird, boat, stars, and dolphin watching. The extra long dining table was great for meals, celebrations, and family games. From downstairs you could walk right onto the beach or sit in shade just feet away from the ocean and offered a private,fully equiped, unit for those wanting seclusion from the larger group. Many thanks to Will for all the swift follow ups in taking care of our requests.

Beach charm

Just finished our annual family beach trip for our large extended tribe at this traditional beach home. This house is ideally located right on the ocean with forty feet of beach frontage and spacious decks for lounging and living. Plenty of indoor space also with a large dining area and a good sized kitchen. Parking for five cars. We greatly enjoyed our stay, and at least one of our family members said the 'best location yet.'

Great House for a Large Group

Rented the house to take our kids and their partners to our favorite beach. The house set up is perfect for a group. Bedrooms on each side with the living room and kitchen in the center. Lower level is its own apartment. Loved the rocking chairs on the deck. Furnishings were comfortable and perfect for a large group. We did have an issue in the house and notified the owner. They were very quick to respond and it was handled. Would definitely rent from them again.

FANTASTIC Location, Property, and Hospitality/Service

This home is clean, comfortable, on the beach, and fully stocked! While this home can accommodate many guests, our stay was perfect with two adults and two dogs! The property manager is wonderful! He was very responsive, timely, and accommodating with anything we needed or asked. I highly recommend this property if you are looking for a peaceful, quiet, beachfront stay. We will definitely be back and are very much looking forward to it! Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing vacation!

Kid friendly!

We liked that the great room had double tables that made puzzle creating, coloring, eating etc. easy! The tables helped keep the island clutter free! The built in bunks were a hit with our grandkids! The deck and furnishings were great. We enjoyed a low country boil Tuesday night. The guys found a local fish market to purchase large shrimp and scallops! The closeness to the beach was perfect for the little ones! On the down side, the refrigerator did not have an ice maker. The temp upstairs was really cold on the right side as you enter from the street and the downstairs shower had critters that climbed in the shower floor. These are all maintenance issues and the age of property and probably beach weather We did report a leak in the downstairs ceiling. These issues did not influence the memories made for the week with birthday celebrations and family and therefore the five star rating. We wished there had been a planned fireworks celebration on the 4th! Our kid arranged for a family picture taken on a beautiful treelined road rather than the beach. They also planned a Boy’s night out and a Girl’s night out at the local restaurants including a Sip and Paint for the girls at the Windham property! We appreciated William keeping us informed about the power outage and mailing my tennis shoes that I still can’t figure out how I overlooked!

Right on the Beach

This large home is situated right on the beach. The residence’s floors and windows were not clean when we arrived. The bathroom fixtures and kitchen counters and appliances and rest of the house were clean. An email to the owner prompted a quick response; the floors were cleaned. I believe this issue is being managed.

Beach house review

Good afternoon. Thank you for allowing us to rent your beach house august 20-27. We will however, not be back. The place is absolutely filthy and needs a full scrub down from top to bottom. We had to clean kitchen and bathrooms upon arrival. Their are spiders and cob webs on the ceiling and LARGE/ small cockroaches invading the home. Under furniture and behind living room chairs look to have been cleaned rarely, if ever. The vents are covered in dust , and mold on upstairs bathroom ceiling. The basement living smells like fish and is dank and honest to goodness the furniture feels damp from all the moisture. Not ideal when sleeping down there for a full week. I do believe the smell is coming from the refrigerator we pull the refrigerator forward to try and locate the smell and cleaned up some sticky mess under the fridge but the smell still comes from the fan in the refrigerator. While it was very enjoyable to stay on the beach and have a deck/ hot tub, it was a shame to have spent thousands on a rental that is just not properly cared for.

Great fit for our family!

There was plenty of room for all 17 of us and a deck large enough for us to gather together for coffee and star gazing. The huge dining table makes eating together a breeze. The ocean views from the deck were awesome! The hot tub and outdoor shower were a nice touch! You can’t get much closer to the ocean!

Great home for Family Vacation

We had 11 family members get together in this wonderful home. Everyone had a bed, and there were still more beds in this home. The dogs and the people all had a great time. You can walk out on to the beach whenever you want with the beach being right out the back door without having to haul a lot of stuff. We found ourselves enjoying the house, the beach, and town so much that we would have loved to stay more than a week. The owners and VRBO were great to work with.

Nice place but needs a serious deep clean

The house is right on the beach which is great, the kitchen is well equipped and the great room has a long table that is great for big groups. However, the downstairs is musty and dark and the entire house needs a major cleaning. The surfaces were clean but the cabinets, walls, windows, baseboards, refrigerator were filthy.

A Plus beach experience

Staying at Surftide provides for a wonderful beach experience. The home is as close to the surf as you can get at Edisto Beach, and relaxing on the porch, in the hot tube, and in the home itself you are always aware of the surf - yummy. The covered porch was great for taking our leisurely meals ad lib for each member of the family to suit his or her needs, and the extra large indoor dining table allowed for the 12 of us to dine together at dinner. The surfside porch was also right under the pelican pod flyway, and they provided almost constant delight to all.

About the host

Hosted by Tommy Smith

Host profile image
I am from the Charleston area and grew up in a beachfront home on Isle of Palms. Edisto's proximity to Charleston, the natural beauty of the lowcountry, and the great ocean views make this the perfect place to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

I wanted a vacation retreat that was easily accessible, yet still afforded my family the feeling of getting away. Edisto Beach is a great area, and I love the atmosphere of 'Edi-slow' - this is a laid-back, family-friendly locale.

What makes this property unique

Much of Edisto Island is under conservation easements, and will always remain unchanged. Surf Tide's open floorplan is perfect for extended families, or for several families vacationing together. With bedrooms on 2 separate floors, common areas on each floor, and an abundance of bathrooms, bedrooms, and activities, Surf Tide is ideal for multiple families or multiple generations vacationing together. It is located close to restaurants, the grocery store, and other local attractions.Unchanged and as beautiful and unspoiled as it has for years Edisto Island is the prefect place for a family getaway.
