Dolphin Watch is a delightful home set on the beautiful banks of the St. Helena Sound. Everything you could need for a wonderful family vacation is here for your enjoyment. Kick up your feet and stay for a while! Forget about work and get ready to relax. This home was designed with guests in mind, with dual main suites, comfortable guest rooms, updated furniture that include a new dining table and bar stool, and all the little extras that will make your vacation unforgettable. A bright and poised interior will provide a lovely reminder to savor peace and quiet at the beach. Enjoy the convenient boardwalk to the beach and keep your eyes open for sea birds and dolphins playing in the surf. Chill out and enjoy the sweet Southern breeze on the ground-level patio equipped with plenty of seating, a spacious enclosed outdoor shower, and a grill for the family chef. Once the evening arrives, a well-equipped kitchen with new countertops and top-of-the-line appliances is available for cooking a Lowcountry feast.

Outside, the new beachside and streetside stairs will make it easy to access the water.

If boating is on your schedule, the Marina at Edisto Beach is only a half-mile away for a convenient spot to launch the boat for a day of fishing or cruising. The Marina is also great for enjoying live music on the dock with a sunset view.

Everyone will be delighted with the perfect setting for a memorable vacation!

Great house with comfy beds & plenty of space for 12 with stunning sunset views & just steps to the beach. Loved the sinks in 2 bedrooms, worked so well with so many people, was like having extra bathrooms.

Great sunset views
Loved the sunset views but the home is in desperate need of refurbishing. Probably not a major problem if you come during good weather and can be outside the majority of the time. Also the deck is quite small so don’t expect to have a large group outside on it.

PERFECT Relaxing vacation at a great house!
We absolutely loved staying here! The house was very roomy, clean, and accessible to the beach. Although it was a bit chilly for sunbathing, we loved being able to easily go to the beach for bocce and horseshoes. The kitchen had everything we needed, the whole house was very clean, and we had plenty of room to hang out and also some alone quiet time if needed. We loved the huge table for playing board and card games and for eating together. We will most definitely stay here next time! We also enjoyed being at the end of the island. Looking out to the ocean and seeing the other ocean and the inlet was beautiful! 5 star, would highly recommend it!

A beach house with great potential and slept 13 comfortably
Declaimer: Our family wanted to give this property 3.8 stars but we can’t use decimals in our ratings, so please take note of that before reading the rest of the review. Our group of 13 had a wonderful beach vacation. This waterfront property is perfect for little kids who may have limited time on the beach before needing a nap or snack. We were able to spend a couple hours out in the waves before returning back for naps and home cooked meals. This house is wonderful for large parties of 10-12. There’s plenty of plates and utensils, kitchen items (a kitchen aid, in fact, and two coffee makers) and seating downstairs under the home for some simple, quiet outdoor time. The house could use a little work with fit and finish (and could have used a deeper clean before our visit), but it was still a great time regardless of the imperfections.

Rental woes
The number of bedrooms and baths although most unused by us and the distance to the ocean were the finer points to this rental propriety.

Excellent Layout for a large family
Our first time to Edisto and staying at Dolphin Watch as our original house got cancelled at the last minute. The Vacasa team was amazing to quickly get us a new place to stay when we were about an hour away from check-in. The house has mixed review. Pros Layout was amazing! Never could tell it was a duplex as it was so quiet & private. The kitchen was well stocked with all the appliances, tools & dishes needed. There was some beach toys, boogie boards and a beach chair at the house for use as well. Also loved having a house on the concrete covered parking area to spray the sand off. The house had numerous games, puzzles and numerous TV streaming options. Location was amazing with getting to see tons of Dolphins each day!! Cons Bugs, bugs, bugs. I am sure most were due to the marsh right off the backyard, but there were so many bugs it made being outside miserable. We also killed several bugs inside during our stay. The path with direct access to the beach is great, but it was overgrown in areas, so it felt like you were walking through a forest to get to the beach. The cleaning could have been a little better as I found a broken dirty razor in the master bathroom and lots of dead bugs behind the rocking chairs in the master bedroom.

Dolphin Watch Edisto Beach
Furniture in the main room was worn out, it appeared to come from Goodwill. There was no pantry in the kitchen and the washer and dryer were also in the kitchen. There was no place to put your dry goods and with the washer and dryer in the kitchen, it was extremely cluttered and uncomfortable. The drains in the bathrooms, seemed to be clogged and drained very slowly.

Very Much in Need of Updates & Touchups
The home's location is what salvaged our family trip to Dolphin Watch. The home itself was fairly clean, but the home is in desperate need of updates. The property manager was great; lots of communication and very helpful when we had questions. The home was clean; but the condition of the furniture and overall home was not comfortable or inviting. The owner could easily invest in some upgrades and take the time to update a few basic pieces and this home would be a welcoming place to stay- particularly given it's beautiful location. This is not what we expect when we stay at Vacasa properties and the cheapness and condition of the furnishings left us very disappointed.

shaky house
The neighborhood was nice, but the house is on pillars so it shakes the whole time you are there because its windy near the ocean. The beach is not nice at all. Its more dirt than sand, and the walls are super thin so you can hear the dad next door yelling at his kids the whole time. The door on the shower in the master was broke and there was a "do not use" post it on the door. The view out the back window was gorgeous at sunset. There is only one restaurant in town and it is PACKED to getting carry out took about 90 minutes longer than they told us it would

Great location
The location is perfect if you have kids. The water is calm and shallow compared to the rest of Edisto Beach. The house definitely needs some repairs and furniture is way too big for the living and dining room. The mattresses are like sleeping on concrete. My son chose to sleep on the couch because his bed was so hard. We had to have maintenance out several times do to leaking windows and doors, sinks and tubs not draining and the refrigerator could not handle (cool) the amount of food that had. The local office and maintenance people were amazing and responded quickly, the after hours number not so helpful. Overall a nice house but bring coolers with plenty of ice and if you can a mattress topper.

Aptly named
Dolphin watch was an amazing place for us to enjoy the wildlife at Edisto. Each day we saw 20 or more dolphins and we were also blessed to see several horseshoe crabs. The shells are plentiful and the waves are calm so all can enjoy the water without issue. We highly recommend Dolphin Watch!

Excellent location! 2nd time staying here.
Excellent location! It's on the bay side, so the ocean waves are nice and calm. BEAUTIFUL view! We saw dolphins each day we were there. The kitchen was fully stocked including lots of pots and pans and service for 14 or 15 people. There were several games available to play. A chest of beach toys were available outside for the children.

Rough around the edges and on the Sound - not the Ocean
This is a large waterfront home with beautiful views of the sound. It is NOT an oceanfront home with the sound of crashing waves right outside. If you like Edisto beaches for the surf and have kids who want to boogie board, this is not the house for you. Also, for the price paid this home needs some work. There were several dangerous screws on the boardwalk, holes in the drywall, broken fridge and trashcan parts, and rusty hooks, drains that didn't work, and shower doors that would not close in the bathrooms. The carpets and floors were dirty throughout when we arrived. There also were no beach chairs. I emailed Vacasa 2 days before our visit to ask about this, and no one responded. Finally, workers arrived to perform work at the property before our 10am check out time on the last day. Considering that check in is at 4 (and not a minute earlier) and check out is at 10, we should not have felt rushed in our departure. The beds were comfortable but the living space felt cramped for our large group.

Great location!
Location is wonderful. Close enough to Charleston for a fun day trip but far enough away for a relaxing time at the beach. We had enough bedrooms for our family of 10. Big kitchen and dining area with plenty of seating! The house is a bit old and could use some TLC. The carpets are in need of a deep clean or being replaced. Wonderful deck with beautiful views.
