For a weekend getaway, Edisto is my favorite beach around because it is away from it all. I would look online at cabins and beach houses then, if possible, go down and check them out before renting. One friend of mine from NC found one online, it looked great, then when they come down to stay there, it smelled so musty and moldy that they couldn't hardly sleep there. They couldn't get their money back, so just kept windows opened and sprayed lots of air freshener. I have a friend at school whose family owns a beach house on Edisto but I don't know if they rent it out or not...even if not, I'm sure they may have a good recommendation for a rental. I'll try to remember to ask tomorrow...
Thanks SC! My point exactly! We want to escape...from phones, traffic, everyday life. That's my biggest concern is the musty old house! I had No idea they rent cabins?? Cool...
If its not too far of a drive, I would like to check out some of the houses (prior) to paying the non-refun deposit. How far you think it is from Sville to Edisto?
I want to book a trip to Edisto for the wifey and I in September. Its our 10th year Anniv, we want a small escape and with so many uncertanties I think Edisto may be the place to go.
Anyone been? Can you recommend places to stay, things to do?
Thanks...
Do you want a place for a weekend or a whole week?
I just got an answer from my friend at school: she and her husband co-own their house on Edisto with 6 other family members and it is used pretty much most of the year.
However, she highly recommended going through Atwood Agency to rent a house or cottage. She also said that September is a slow month so you should have no problem getting a place then and the prices should have gone down, since it's off-season.
It's a slow month probably due to it's the height of hurricane season in Sept.. lol

We are looking for like a Sun-Thurs deal, 4 or 5 nights. I will check out that site for homes. And yes I did notice the rates drop off considerably after labor day

Ironically, thats what screwed up our wedding 10yrs ago, Hurricane Floyd's approach. Soooo it totally wouldn't surprise me if it happens now on our 10th...
Edisto is a great place to relax. You should make sure to drive out to Botany Bay Plantation (http://www.dnr.sc.gov/managed/wild/botany/description.html - broken link)and the Nature Center.
We have enjoyed our September stays and had good weather for the most part. We did not stay ocean front but there are many public beach access points.
