We had the absolute best time on our family vacation this year. The house was beautiful, clean, spacious and had everything (and more) that we needed. I’ve never in my life seen as many dolphins as we did this one week! We will definitely be back!

Beautiful house and area. In need of routine maintenance. Reported a few problems but not all fixed/ repaired during our stay.

Great time had by all. Can’t beat this location on Edisto. My only wish is that the beds were bigger. The rooms are plenty big enough to upgrade most of the beds to King and Queen.

Just checked out of Sunset Dolphin Watch and we're already missing it. The house was simply outstanding in all ways, from the beautiful layout to the incredible gourmet kitchen (everything we needed for a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday week!) to the absolutely breathtaking views no matter where you looked. The house is perfect in every way, comfortable beds, wonderful furnishings, impeccably clean. It's true what they say about this house - you will not want to leave. Don't miss the sunsets from the deck, and watch for dolphins every morning and afternoon (actually we saw them off and on all day long!) Our beach was covered in shells and we just never got enough of being there - even though it was Thanksgiving the highs during the week were in the 60's and 70's. Also thanks to the owners for all the sweet, thoughtful decorating touches in the house - it really makes it feel like the house is your home away from home.

The view was great. I never got tired of looking out the back windows. The sunsets were a postcard. However next time I would rent a house either on the ocean side or at least much closer. While the sound had beautiful sunsets and lots of shells, it also had more swampy conditions and bugs. The island itself is a nature lover’s paradise.

The house was perfect. My family had the best time. The view was amazing. We defiantly recommend this house to any one who loves to relax and enjoy family time. The owners are awesome also.

The House was spotless, a perfect size for the nine of us, and within an easy distance from the beach. The kitchen was well-stocked, the windows were clean, the WiFi worked perfectly, and the outside deck was nicely shaded in the mornings. We didn’t even need the sixth bedroom. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

I would give this property 4.5 stars if I could. It's a great beach house. It's spacious and a good house for kids. There are a lot of things we appreciated about this house: hard-surfaced floors throughout, a well-stocked kitchen, working garbage disposal, nice washer and dryer, clean upon arrival, bathrooms in good repair, functional large Weber charcoal grill, locked storage space, great location, some covered parking, dual climate control, two bedrooms on the main floor, and fabulous upstairs master shower. A few things we disliked: porch is not covered (however is shaded in the morning), not enough drawer space in the master bedrooms (and the master on the main level had broken drawers) and a worn and squeaky mattress/frame in the girl's room (though this didn't bother our four-year old). The absolute best thing about this house is the view of the sunsets! We would definitely stay here again. The water is much calmer than the Atlantic side and our four and seven-year old enjoyed wading and swimming without being knocked down by the waves. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. As it was our first visit to Edisto the property met our family’s needs. Plenty of room and right on the beach for the kids to come and go easily. We had no problems with the property and the only reason I did not give 5 stars is that it could use some TLC especially outside and updating some fixtures inside. Nothing to deter us from staying there again. I greatly appreciated the quite street!!

Tried to leave this before but I guess the site is messed up. This house was fantastic. All of the bedrooms and all of the bathrooms were great on their own but the two bedrooms with the vanities inside of them was a real luxury. It was very clean and we had a wonderful time. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time! The house was clean and it's a beach house so we had to sweep everyday because we brought sand in with us! The house is very large and we were able to spread out and not be on top of each other. We will be back!

It doesn't get any better. The reservation was easy. They emailed us back regularly late in the evening when we emailed them and we did not have to waste time going to an office and checking in; we went straight to the house and started vacation. The house is large enough for all of us to have our own space and the view is spectacular. The beach in front of the house is very private and we know why you call it Sunset Dolphin Watch; they gave us a beautiful show every day. Thank you! Thank you!

The minute we crossed onto Edisto Island, we knew we made the right choice for all 8 of us! We've been to several other islands in the area but enjoyed the quietness and home like feeling of Edisto. Everyone was pleased with your home; it was clean, accommodated our family, and the location was great! The kids enjoyed the beach right out the back door, seeing dolphins everyday, and riding bikes. We took a day trip to Charleston to tour Patriots Pier-loved it. Looking ahead we would like to return next spring to Edisto Island as long as work/school schedules allow. Thank you again, Amber

Thanks so much for letting us enjoy your home on vacation; the location was perfect for the children and actually for all of us! Quiet and peaceful and perfect. The kids played and the water went out so gradually that it seemed liked a big pool. I have to reiterate what one of the other people said on their review; it was really very nice to have people who would work with you back and forth at night; thank you, Richard & Mary. We have stayed on Edisto in other homes and have never had that before. This house is fully equipped and actually does sleep what they say in bedrooms; we did not feel like we packed in together. Thanks again!

I can't really say enough about it. We work many hours and are very busy and having Richard & Mary email us back at 10:30 pm and helping us plan our vacation was incredible; we've certainly never had that kind of customer service before and we have stayed on Edisto many times. Being able to jsut go directly to our vacation home without having to stop and check in or pick up keys, etc was also unexpected since we've never had that before and we definitely appreciate the time saving. Our family has grown over the years and having 6 bedrooms AND 4 bathrooms was fantastic. That shower in the upstairs Master Suite is extremely nice; such a luxury. Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful beach house with us this week. My family has had a wonderful week!

I am ready to book Dolphin Watch for a week in summer 2015 after reluctantly returning home from our 2014 vacation. This will be out 6th year and it gets better and better. The view is spectacular. We have stayed on the Atlantic Ocean before but just love the tranquility of the sound and watching the dolphins every day; we never get used to it. It's always so thrilling.
