Secluded, Spacious Edisto Beach Walk Home Chaika - Edisto Beach

The Chaika is a lovely house on a secluded lot at the end of a street with no other house adjacent and no thru traffic. Beautiful live oak in front gives a nice view out the glassed-in porch. Only a short 5-minute walk to the beach on a rarely-used sandy drive. 5-minute drive to St. Helena sound for calmer waters and great beach combing. Chaika means "seagull" in Russian - read the owner bio for info on why that name. A great house for families and friends to connect! And we are pet friendly.Please read the whole description below before booking as there are conditions that will impact your stay.

The house is secluded with undeveloped lots on either side and behind us. Being the last house on a no-outlet, sand covered street means very little traffic. The huge live oak tree in the front further makes you feel like you are away from things even though the beach is a short walk. The layout is conducive to 2 families with 2 bedrooms and a bath on each side separated by a large common area in the center.

The house has a glassed porch, front deck, and back porch - all areas to sit and relax, enjoying the area. It is on stilts, so there is additional space under the house for seating, grilling, cleaning up (private outdoor shower), and drying wet swimwear. We have a small charcoal grill under the house along with various beach toys. We love to hang hammocks between the supports.

Also note we have seasonal pricing, so until you put the dates in, the price shown is likely not accurate. The pricing is set up for shorter rentals of 3-7 days - please contact us before booking if interested in longer term as there might be further discount, especially in the off-season.

The city owns the lot next to our house. On occasion they use it to stage supplies, but usually there is very little activity on it and all we see there are the deer that come by most evenings. However, if they have a project going on, there can be equipment that is kept there or trucks coming to pick up supplies. It's not been a problem for anyone, but we like to be sure no one is surprised if a maintenance vehicle or some fencing appears in the undeveloped lot!

Please note, as is most common with Edisto properties, we do not provide sheets, pillowcases, and towels. You can see the bed sizes under room details and bring what you need. You also can rent what you need from Sarah who manages our property. Her contact information is on the contract we will send once the place is booked. Her pricing is very reasonable. The result is less than the difference it would be if we provided them for all the beds each rental.
