Description Description
Escape | Deep-Water Dock + Private Pool | Salt Marsh & ACE Basin Views | Sleeps 12
There are beach vacations, and then there is Escape. This 5 bedroom, 3 bath Edisto Beach retreat is in a class of its own, offering a private deep-water dock, a sparkling swimming pool, breathtaking salt marsh and ACE Basin views, and some of the most spectacular sunsets you will ever witness, all tucked away in a serene and private setting just minutes from the Atlantic shore. Whether your group lives for fishing, boating, crabbing, kayaking, or simply soaking up the unmatched natural beauty of the South Carolina Lowcountry, Escape delivers an all-inclusive Edisto Beach experience that is genuinely hard to top.

The Home
From the moment you arrive, it is clear that no detail has been overlooked at Escape. The well-appointed, open living, dining, and kitchen combination is warm, comfortable, and equipped for everything from a casual family breakfast to a full lowcountry feast featuring the day's fresh catch. Step out onto the screened porch and let the sounds of the ACE Basin wash over you as the salt marsh comes alive with birds, wildlife, and the kind of scenery that reminds you exactly why people fall so hard for Edisto Island. When the sweet southern evening sweeps in and the marsh lights up in gold and amber, you will understand why guests return to Escape year after year.
The pool deck is your front-row seat to all of it, an outdoor living space where the private swimming pool, the marsh views, and the magic of the Lowcountry come together in one unforgettable setting.

Whether you are planning a large family reunion, a multi-generational beach retreat, or a group fishing trip to Edisto Island, Escape has the space and the flexibility to make everyone comfortable.

On the Water
This is where Escape truly sets itself apart. The private deep-water dock and covered pier head put the best of the Lowcountry's waterways right at your fingertips. A short boat ride opens up direct access to St. Pierre Creek, the St. Helena Sound, and the Intracoastal Waterway, while the countless narrow tidal creeks surrounding the property are legendary among anglers for red fishing and shrimping. Pack your crab traps, bring your fishing poles, and head out to remote sandbars and undeveloped coastal shoreline that most visitors never get to see. For birdwatchers and nature lovers, the views from the dock, pier head, pool deck, and screened porch offer a front-row seat to one of the most biodiverse coastal ecosystems on the East Coast.

Outdoor Living
Cool off in the private swimming pool after a long day on the boat or the beach, then settle into the screened porch as the evening rolls in and the marsh puts on its nightly show. The pool deck offers generous space for lounging, dining, and taking it all in, and the covered pier head is the perfect perch for a sunset cocktail or an early morning cast. The beach is less than five minutes away, and local restaurants, the marina, nightlife, and golf are all within easy reach.

Location, Location, Location
Escape offers the best of both worlds, a private, serene waterfront setting steeped in the natural beauty of the ACE Basin and Edisto's salt marsh, with easy access to everything the island has to offer. The Atlantic shore is just minutes away, and local dining, the marina, golf, and the state park are all close by. This is Edisto at its most extraordinary.

Enjoyed our stay
Great house with beautiful view. No sharp knives for cutting food though.

Dear Terrell,
We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Escape and that the views made your visit special. Thank you for the helpful feedback about the kitchen knives - we’ll be addressing inventory needs like this during the off-season, if not sooner. We hope to host you again for another relaxing getaway!

Edaslow!!!!
Great vacation and I love the slow pace of the island. The house meets all of our needs. The beds were comfortable, plenty of room for everyone and the view is great. We loved our stay. The house was clean and the property is in good shape. Living room furniture is aged and is need of an update. We did find a banister on front porch that needs to be better secured. Trash receptacle out front missing wheels needs replacing. Pool was great! Overall we loved staying at the Escape! Will be back next year.


Ronald,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the laid-back pace of the island and that The Escape was a great fit for your group. It’s wonderful to know the home was comfortable, clean, and that you made the most of the view and private pool!

We appreciate your feedback regarding the living room furniture and front porch banister. Our team will be securing the banister promptly, and we’ve already reported the damaged trash receptacle to Town Hall—they’re currently awaiting a shipment of replacements. Guest input like yours helps us keep the property in top shape, and we’re grateful you took the time to share.

We’re so glad to hear you’ll be back next year—we look forward to welcoming you again!
Best Regards,
Carolina One Edisto Vacations Team
