Comfortable and great for multiple adults! Kitchen pots and silverware are well stocked. Beach access is a bit difficult after storms erosion. Linens were clean and plentiful.

We loved the location! Vacassa is very professional. We listed several issues and vacassa was prompt with responding. Here is a copy of additional issues to consider: Vacassa
-Kitchen door does not properly lock
-roaches
-washer only has hot water
-dryer does not dry clothes
-kitchen is not stocked for 10 guests for example only 2 wine glasses
-not enough chairs on either porch
-according to our architect family member, the street porch is not up to code
Overall, we were very happy to be here and plan to return! I am not writing for a public review, only notes for consideration.

Manager response:
Beth, thank you for the review. We are so glad you enjoyed the home and the amenities. Thank you for the list of areas the local team needs to address. This information has been sent to them. We hope you will choose Vacasa for your next trip. Thank you!

It was a great location.

We loved staying at Edisto. A Shore Thing was a nice rental. As with most beach rentals there was normal wear and rusted items. With a few updates this could be a very nice rental.

April B. Dec 2021

We enjoyed our stay at A Shore Thing. Location was great, I was worried about being close to Coots and the business district but we had no issues with noise or traffic. Home was comfortable, furniture was new and the beds were comfortable.There is no beach access from this home but the public access is one house down. View is great, saw lots of dolphins and birds.There are televisions in each bedroom but they only have the local channels.Living room television has the streaming channels. Overall a great rental.

Hope C. Oct 2021

I can honestly say I had a better experience this time with VACASA than with the previous rental service. The linens were better quality and the kitchen was more useful in pots, pans, etc. In the past I packed toilet paper, eating utensils, soap, etc, knowing I could not be sure what would be there. My only negative was that in this day of COVID, the cabinets (knobs, fronts) could use a hard cleaning. We had a great week. Thanks.

Angie E. Sep 2021

I had never stayed directly on the beach until this house. It was wonderful, relaxing, and, uncomfortable. The back deck was perfect for early morning sunrise.

Gina N. Jun 2021

Oceanfront porch is our favorite. So close to the ocean. The new sand was a challenge climbing to and from the beach tho! Great family vacation!!

Gary O. Jun 2021

Spacious house, great proximity to the beach. House could use an update, paint job and new mattresses. Over all was a nice quite place to spend a week relaxing and enjoying the beach.

Manager response:
Hi Gary, we are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We will be sure to pass your suggestions along to our local manager who will work with our homeowner to make necessary upgrades. We look forward to hosting you again!

This was our second time renting from Atwood Realty. We again were very pleased with the cleanliness of the home, the direct access to the beach, and Edisto Beach. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Apr 2021

We love Edisto and this our second time staying in A Shore Thing. The location is perfect and the views are perfect for relaxing. Beach front access and a deck that has a covered section and open section so works for everyone. Love the fact that we can bring our little pup with us. Wouldn`t think of staying anywhere else. House is perfect for couples or families . Can walk to shops and restaurants. Atwood is great to work with. Don`t miss out on this property. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Mar 2021

Great location, steps to a private beach, awesome views. It’s close to convenient stores & restaurants. It’s pretty close to the public beach and people who park at the public beach may have access to your area. No hotels in the beach area & quite a distance from the town, which makes the beach so serene. Allows pets w/c was a plus. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Mar 2021

Very nice house and right on the beach. House was clean and had everything needed for a great family vacation. Masters on both sides so 2 couples have the beach view.
We didn’t use the pots, pans, glasses, or cutlery. We brought our own due to covid. It is up to guests to wash and they did not seem clean. As far as the location, The street floods in front so we couldn’t walk anywhere. This was most of the street so no fault of the rental. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

We had a lovely getaway to It`s a Shore Thing. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jan 2021

This was our first time at Edisto during the winter month. We had a wonderful time. A Shore Thing is wonderful house. It was very accommodating. It was an awesome location. Loved renting from Atwood. All bed linens and towels were furnished. Beds were made. They made our stay very enjoyable and stress free!! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jan 2021

It was December so the island was relatively quiet which is why we decided on this location. It was lovely to be able to walk into the state park. We also loved riding our bikes to the seafood store. The house layout was good for 2 couples and a baby. The house was clean on the surface...linens, towels, beds, floors, surfaces very clean. The house badly needs a deep clean( fronts of cabinets/ blinds/ inside cabinets). It was fully furnished and comfy with the exception of the mini hotel room sized coffee pot. We are all big coffee drinkers and had to make 3 pots every morning. Just a warning, to bring your own coffee pot. The best thing was the huge deck across the front of the house where we spotted several dolphins, watched the sunrise and chilled. We also loved the sound of the ocean at night, as the two main bedrooms are at the front of the house/oceanfront. If you sleep with your blinds open, you can watch the sunrise from bed :) `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Beautiful view weather great `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Nov 2020

This home is well maintained and the location is excellent. We love the little town of Edisto. At high tide, the waves are almost up to the porch. At low tide, you can wade out a long way in shallow water. We hope to stay again next year. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Oct 2020

It was the most relaxing time we`ve had in a while. We loved both the storms and the sun, and every temperature that came with both. I believe the porch is that house`s biggest asset. Loved the house, but not necessarily the close proximity to all the traffic from the daily visitors who parked next to the Pavilion. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Oct 2020

This was my 4th year renting from Atwood Agency. The only difference was this year I requested a larger house for extended family. I found the exact house to “Fit” my needs. I accommodated with a larger property & one closer to places of interest as well as convenient for shopping. A Shore Thing, allowed for my dearly beloved dog, Peyton, to vacation with me also.
Atwood Agency attended to our every need; the service was prompt & precisé when I called. The service personal were friendly, knowledgeable & respectful! Lastly, I must include, personally I have had a satisfactory & pleasant relationship with Atwood Agency for the past 4 years & wouldn’t rent from any other company on Edisto Island. Lynda M.

Great vacation. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

This was a very nice beach house. If you are looking for the `Biltmore` this is not it. It is a beach house; clean, adequate, with great views and location. We were even blessed with great weather in spite of the forecast ! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jun 2020

The location of the property and the proximity to the beach and ocean is hard to beat.
My family had a great time.

My only disappointment was when we arrived there was no DVD player. The listing includes one. We brought movies for the evening.
We promptly called Atwood was told `one was ordered and it will be delivered when it arrives`. After that, no follow up and no DVD player. Again... A small item.. But disappointing.. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Every thing was perfect from the house to the rental agency. Enjoyed the stay. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

We had a wonderful vacation. The house was beautiful, clean and full stock with kitchen essentials. I would recommend this house and edisto Beach, we loved here. Cindy and Paul R. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

We rent this house every year and love the house and location. We loved all the updates they made on the property and can`t wait to come again. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Nov 2019

We have stayed in a couple others on the water, but this one has so far been the best. The kitchen was better stocked, the linens much better than the norm, plus the place was very very clean. Well maintained. No sign of the fact it is pet friendly. We`ll probably be back. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Oct 2019

Great location. Very close to beach and grocery store. Plenty of room for our family of 9 `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Sep 2019

Great trip, beautiful time of year. Great location close to everything. We had 2 generations of girls and everyone had a bed. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Sep 2019

Upgraded (new) living room and bedroom furniture very nice. The location of this property puts the grocery store and many restaurants within easy walking distance; no need to pile in the car. R.O. water at the kitchen sink as well is a big plus. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Sep 2019

Everything was as it should be, the house was clean and we had a very nice stay. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Sep 2019

Not the greatest this year, but not the fault of the house. Many updates this year. New furniture, floors, etc. Some were well appreciated, some not. While the new bunk beds in one of the bedrooms may appeal to kids, it didn’t sleep more than the two double beds in there and was awkward for an older person. New tV’s blocked mirrors, etc. not well thought out. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jul 2019

Very enjoyable. Much needed repairs and updates done since our last stay. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jul 2019

The house is in an amazing location. It is within walking distance of everything you need, but it still doesn`t feel like you are in a busy or congested area. The house was adequate for our needs and accommodated our three families (with 7 kids) well. The beach in this area is not as busy as it appeared to be elsewhere, so we were able to spread out and relax. Our only complaints with the house (which are very minor) is that one ceiling fan was very loud and obviously in need of replacement and the dryer took a long time to dry clothes (multiple cycles). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jul 2019

Just steps to swim. House was spotlessly clean on arrival. Beds were already made so no workout making beds before relaxing. The beds were also very comfortable! Living room furniture was comfy too. Kitchen had everything needed to cook with and make frozen drinks. A short walk to the pier/restaurant and several other restaurants, gas station(ice) and liquor store makes this location perfect. Beach was not crowded and houses are nicely spaced apart for decent privacy. Covered, concrete off street parking was great. Outdoor shower really nice after fishing/beach. First time visiting Edisto Beach and we couldn’t be happier with this house! We will be bringing more guests next year, so need a bigger house but will be using Atwood. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Smooth `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Feb 2019

We loved every moment. The location is perfect. The house was just as described. Had so much fun walking on the beach and collecting shells. Can`t wait to go back! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jan 2019

We loved `A Shore Thing.` It was the quintessential beach rental: close to the beach, comfortable but not fancy enough to make us nervous about actually living in the house, and a big deck. We would definitely return!!! The grocery store is close, there are some great little restaurants nearby, fresh seafood on the island and the beach to the east is awesome. The house has your typical wear and tear, but nothing that rose to the level of a complaint. We didn`t realize until too late that you can get water from the rental service; the water at the house is definitely salty. Great Time!! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Nov 2018

Cottage needs a thorough clean-up and interior refurbishing. Cottage appeared to have been bypassed by any cleaning crew for a substantial about of time. Couch, couple beds, window treatments need replacing before next rental. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Oct 2018

The location was perfect on Edisto Beach and within walking distance to almost everything ever needed. The area was amazing and the people were friendly. The Atwood folks at the agency were kind and helpful at both key pick up and drop off.

The home itself was tired and run down. The decor was a GoodWill store feel. As for cleanliness, it was not very clean. The pots and pans were not only dirty but in horrible shape, leaving only 2 skillets to use all week. The crock pot was great and we used it quite a bit.

Towels and linens: we received towels for 6 while the listing noted it sleeps 11. The beds were not horrible, but not good. And the tv`s were very old...along with the VCR machine in the living room. In all, the property needs a revamp, badly. Paint on the walls would go a long way. Fixing the mold and windows that have issues as well as cleaning out the bugs in the ceiling lights would make the appearance better in general. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Sep 2018

Love this house. Wonderful location (walking distance to grocery store), R.O. water, big front and back porches, outside shower, practical and roomy floor plan. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Aug 2018

This rental is perfectly located on the Island. It’s been upgraded since last year with concrete driveways, grass, and fencing. Real treat this year was the great linens with beds made. Outdoor shower is a definite plus. Kitchen is well equipped with plenty of dishes, silverware, appliances, and utensils. So close to the water. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Aug 2018

We truly enjoyed our stay! - We have had to cancel for the past two years due to hurricanes, but we finally made it!
Property location is fantastic & within walking distance to stores/restaurants/shops.
Home `layout` is great, but could use a little TLC (mainly paint, & the hallway has a water damaged floor that definitely needs attention).
We`ll be back! :) `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jul 2018

We have rented this home for several years now, and have unfortunately watched it go downhill as far as its general condition. I understand that hurricane Matthew took its toll a few years ago, but this year I had a few safety concerns.
The bathtub in the bathroom on the right has an ~3 inch slit in the bottom and feels like the sub-flooring gives when you stand in the middle of the tub. The linen closet across from the washer and dryer is full of mold. There are extra pillows stored in there and they are covered with mold. It`s the same place the mop, broom, etc are stored. A decorative pillow in the first BR to the right is held together with multiple straight pins which could easily stick someone. And lastly, the tile floor outside the bathroom on the left is shattered and the sub-flooring gives when you step on it. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. May 2018

We so enjoyed our week at a Shore Thing. The views and the direct access to the beach was exactly what we wanted. We were able to walk to many of the restaurants and shops. The kitchen is nicely stalked. The house could use a little TLC in spots,,like the hall floor where the tile is breaking up..and it would have been nice to have some nice deck furniture to enjoy the sun porch with and set drinks on...but overall we would stay here again in a heartbeat! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. May 2018

Rental was perfect for our needs! Clean and well equipped. Check-in and check out couldn`t have been easier. Very close to grocery--walking distance. Not as quiet as some might want for Edisto but great for us to restock ice, etc. Beautiful weather despite bad forecast!! Great staff! Oven didn`t work & was replaced immediately by efficient, nice staff! Suggestions: new windows, ice maker, hangars. Great time had by all! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. May 2018

The beach is great. If you’re looking for a large house right on the beach, this house is for you. While we felt that the furniture and decor had signs of wear and tear overall the house itself was in good shape. After all you don’t go to the beach for the house necessarily, you go for the sun and sand and surf. At least that’s why we were there. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Apr 2018

The service was excellent! The house is very nice! My only complaint was the king size bed was very uncomfortable! Everything else was great! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Mar 2018

We absolutely love Edisto and the community. The home we rented was a perfect location. The back deck was amazing. We would rent it again however I personally feel the owners need to reinvest more of their profits in things like fixing the drywall damage around the shower. As well as quality mattresses. The couch was shade and didn`t feel clean. It appreared to be kind of matted down. The second6layer of floor tile in the kitchen makes for a great toe stunner. There were several light bulbs that needed replaced. I went to bi-lo and bought a bulb and replaced the one in the master bedroom. There is also a lamp bride the bed that is falling apart. I didn`t take time to fix it. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

It was wonderful to get to come back to `A Shore Thing` after missing 1 year because of the hurricane. It was like coming back home. The only thing that I wish could change is the high berm in front of the house because I am getting old and my knees are kinda bad now so it was difficult for me to get to the beach. Just a little path would be nice. At least we had the best view of any other place on the beach. We plan to see you again next year same time same place. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas! Peggy and Joe `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Great family escape. Everyone had a great time! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Oct 2017

Have rented this property in the past. Was made aware of the ground floor screened porch having been wiped out with Hurricane Matthew. Every effort had been made to have the property in first class shape for our stay this year, just (1) week after Hurricane Maria, and it really was. The beachfront location (2nd house up from the pavilion) and amenities (big porches on the front and rear, R.O. water, etc.) make it a winner. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Aug 2017

Everything about this rental went smoothly. No problems with check-in or check-out. House was OK and met our needs. Kitchen cabinets could use some TLC, but overall a very enjoyable week. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jul 2017

We were a little disappointed this year with our beach rental. Upon entering the house on Saturday, 7/1, an overwhelming odor was coming from the first bedroom on the right. We had to wash the sheets, pillowcases, mattress cover, printed blanket and zippered mattress cover before we got rid of the smell. There is absolutely no way the housekeepers did not notice this smell while they were there. We also had a few encounters with live roaches. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. May 2017

My vacation rental experience with Atwood Vacation Rental went extremely well. They were there to help with any and all questions, and even once I was in my rental, if I had any questions about anything, they were still right there. I would definitely use them again. One lady, Dilly, even went so far as to offer to help carry things up to the beach house for me because I have a terrible back. Thankfully I didn`t have to have her do that, but that`s going above and beyond.
The property itself was perfectly laid out with two bedrooms on each side and a nice large open living room and kitchen. The only problem is that the windows can`t be opened, and it would have been so lovely to listen to the ocean breezes at night while sleeping, and just have the fresh air during the day. It also made me feel a little claustrophobic.
I think the beach house is still in the middle of being painted and repaired from hurricane Matthew. It`s perfectly acceptable, but you can tell that there are rooms that need painting. The only other `negative` was that the cupboards are in desperate need of a good washing. They are very sticky from someone frying a little too much fresh fish. I washed all of the handles while I was there, but it`s something to think about for future guests. It happens.
Positives: lovely, layout, comfortable, washer and dryer, fully stocked kitchen, comes with bedding and towels and it`s pink. Who doesn`t love pink! I loved it. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. May 2017

First, let me say that the house is lovely. It is truly 4 bedrooms and it is located directly on the beach. It is also located within walking distance to restaurants and to the local grocery store. The property was clean. So, here was our issue. We rented the home for three days. On the second day, an entire work crew began tearing up the beach in front of the house and stayed for the next day (our last day) as well. They had large bulldozer and machine trucks driving back in forth in front of our house. With young kids, I was worried they would get hurt or not look before running in front of a truck, so we didn`t use the beach during that time. There is nothing really happening at Edisto besides the beach, but we went to the local park. I as talking to the park ranger who told me that the beach nourishment project had been scheduled for a while and the owners should have told us/known about it. I also talked with the workers to get an idea of the schedule, and they also said the same thing. I did ask the Atwood employee if she would consider refunding one of our nights and they would not. She stated that this is not something she or the home owners could control. While she nice and her statement in theory is true, I do believe they could control disseminating the information about the work as everyone else seemed to know the schedule of the work. The agency was easy to work with and convenient, but I will say that I don`t completely trust Atwood to make the best choices for their customers. A disclosure statement on the vrbo site when renting would been appreciated. In summary, if you can use the beach, it is worth it. If you can`t, it is overpriced. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Very good location. Nice house. The fan in one of the bathrooms was making a terrible noise like it was going to explode. Other than that a great place. The room under the house that is shown in the pictures is no longer there. Very clean. Bath towels are small so bring your own. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Apr 2017

Everything was very clean and well maintained. The house itself was cute and we loved the back porch right on the beach. Perfect walking distance to shops and restaurants. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Mar 2017

the house needed better upkeep. windo in bedroom not repaired, front door lock latch would not work. Walls needed fresh coat of paint. Pillows on the bed were flat and soiled. No tupperware. The knives were dull. Location was great, space nice. The living room could use a large circle rug to add a little warmth to the room. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

This was a great place for relaxing or shell hunting. Our youngest granddaughter found a rather large conch shell and commented `this is the coolest beach ever`! We had a wonderful time at the house. The beach was very peaceful and we enjoyed watching the sunrise every morning from the porch.The house was very clean and had plenty of room for everyone. The bathroom tub fixtures need some work. The beach side porch did not have a gate, however the maintenance contractor showed up on site to take measurements to rebuild one, but wasn`t complete upon our departure.

This beach house is convenient to the grocery store as well as a couple restaurants. It wasn`t `built yesterday` but is very functional. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jun 2016

Everything about our rental experience was amazing! Amazing rental, amazing location, amazing Edisto! The location right on the beach makes it hard to leave the house! We look forward to returning year after year! We were a bit late getting out as my husband`s back was out and my knee was acting up so up and down the stairs was slow. The cleaning staff arrived and they were most accommodating as we hobbled out our last items. Top to bottom, perfect! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

We rented A Shore Thing in June of 2016. There were 5 in our party and the house accommodated us all quite comfortably. The house was clean but the bathrooms needed some TLC. The location was great - within walking distance to restaurants and stores. Although linens and towels were provided they were very cheap and we had to make our own beds. I`ve rented other houses in Edisto but this was the first time I encountered the beds unmade. Overall the house was great for the price. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. May 2016

Great house for getting on the beach for walking and shell hunting. Best location for walking to restaurants and enjoying breakfast and good seafood. Beach side porch ideal for watching dolphins and birds and front porch great for reading a great book and relaxing. Comfortable seating in living area. We had a wonderful vacation on Edisto and an easy drive into Charleston. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Apr 2016

The view from this deck is outstanding. Felt like we`re on the beach sitting in the living room. The house was a standard beach house but overall was in good shape. My only suggestion would be to bring your own bath towels (too small and rough), sheets and blankets( too hot). We enjoyed our stay! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Apr 2016

The house is in probably the best location possible. All the restaurants and shops are within walking distance and the view is breathtaking. That being said, the amenities are terrible. When we arrived, we had to put our own linens on the beds and a change of linens is not provided. Every guest was only provided one towel, and when we called Atwood, they stated that was the max the owner would allow. Additionally, no beach towels are provided, only one trash bag and no basics like salt or coffee filters. The sofa is also consistently damp and microfiber so no one wanted to sit down on it. I have stayed at much cheaper places before with far better amenities. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

As usual the stay was totally as hoped for. The home was in great condition; the location was the best, and Atwood was completely professional and good to work with. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Location was great. Pet fee seemed high but for the property I guess it was fair. I can see where there is a major upkeep expense with the sea air. First time on Edisto. Wife`s 10th visit. Will go back but may go off the beach depending on rates and what`s available. Thank you for a great time. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

We have been coming to Edisto for about 30 years and we have stayed in numerous houses all over the island and tidal creeks but `A Sure Thing` is the sure thing and our favorite. When we came down this year Oct 31 there had been damage from a very high tide and we were offered several other options but of course we declined. We love the location, the size (there are only 2 of us staying there) and even with the `hotel` next store we will always stay at `A Shore Thing. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Loved the house; R.O. water in the kitchen and icemaker meant no trips to the fire/police station for fresh water. A/C unit kept house temperature constant throughout the heat wave. The (3) most important things about this particular house were location, location, and location, in that order. Walk across or down the street less than (1) block for groceries, eating out, gift shops, etc. Hot and cold outside shower almost adds another bathroom to the facility. Also loved the ceramic tile floors, (5) TV sets and wireless internet. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

I was very satisfied with the house itself. It is older, but had everything we needed. Very well stocked in the kitchen, but definitely bring your own bath towels!!! Overall the house was well accommodating, but location seemed to be too close to the public area for our taste. We had lots of local visitors during the weekend that we had to run out of our outside shower and under our porch numerous times. The plus of being right in the middle of everything was you could walk to Finns restaurant and bar and even to the grocery store and subway. The outside shower was nice to have coming in from the beach, but the area needs to be cleaned out because you step right back into sand going up the stairs. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

We had a fantastic time. The location of this house is perfect because it`s right on the beach and the grocery store is less than 100 yards away. The kitchen is well equipped which is a plus because we cook on vacation. The back porch is our favorite part with some of it shaded and the rest out in the sun. My family loves this house
There were a few minor issues - needs a functional door knob on the master bedroom door, the new internet is slower and spottier than last year, and it needs a new bed in the master bedroom. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

We were all so thrilled when we pulled up to the the cottage and saw that it was indeed right on the shore line. It was exactly as pictured. The kitchen had ever appliance anyone would want. The property was clean and fresh. The only problem was the need for new blinds in the bedroom with the queen bed. There was amble space for the four year old twins to play. The layout afforded privacy for two couples. We had the beach to ourselves as the properties on either side were empty as we stayed from Tuesday to Friday. We walked to Finn`s to eat and enjoyed their ever changing menu. We also enjoyed Whaleys and the Waterfront restaurants. The convenience of the great grocery store was also a plus. I have already recommended this property to a friend. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Everything about this house was perfect.... Location, layout of house...access to beach...accessibility to services.. We brought with us many items that the owner was thoughtful enough to have available. Our biggestconcern is that if we let others know how AMAZING this rental is that we will have competition for returning!!!

Location, location, location! This house could not be better placed. Right on the beach, walking distance to gas station, grocery, and restaurants. The house itself needs some work because it`s old and not well cared for, but it`s clean and comfortable, which is what mattered most. We enjoyed our week very much. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Perfect for our Thanksgiving celebration. Large and spacious with room for everyone. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Dec 2014

Overall at good experience at a good location. I continue to look for a rental I would enjoy returning to several times a year - `A Shore Thing` is not that spot due to uncomfortable furniture in the main living area (I enjoy reading & need a comfortable chair with good lighting). This rental is probably ideal for a family with several kids. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Nov 2014

Overall we had a very nice time. The issues we had were the beds were very old and uncomfortable and the window treatments were in poor condition and cheap. They blocked almost no sunlight.
We also had problems with the showers leaking, but we were told the long and sad history of water and plumbing on Edisto...
mostly enjoyed it but compared to other houses we have rented in similar price range it was not as comfortable. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Edisto beach is my family`s favorite vacation spot. We have been going every year since i was born and have rented from Atwood almost every year. We have rented the same house now for the past several years and were please to see several changes and updates had been made since last year. We only had one problem while there and that was with the stovetop burners not working properly. Trying to cook for 10 people on basically 2 burners is an unrealistic expectation. It was a rare occasion that we called maintenance and i hate to say they were really no help. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

We really enjoyed our short vacation at Edisto Beach. Our house was in an excellent location so we could view the ocean at any time. The house was clean and well-maintained. At high tide the waves came all the way up to the house. The only problem we had were some sand fleas we discovered after our last afternoon walk on the beach. I would recommend this house to anyone who wanted to stay on the beachfront. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Oct 2014

I was amazed at the wonderful weather I had, and being oceanfront was a bonus. The roll of the waves sung me to sleep each night. We could leave the door open to the deck and get a breeze at all times. The store was in easy walking distance. The fact that I could bring my 2 dogs to such a wonderful spot was a big plus. I loved the easy to care for tile flooring in the kitchen/ living area. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Sep 2014

The location was great. The layout of the house was also very good, but the house was definitely showing its age. Good points were location, layout, back deck and access to beach. I would not recommend this particular property unless repairs were made and appliances replaced. During our stay, the hot water heater leaked through one of the bedroom ceilings, causing the ceiling to collapse. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

This was our second year staying at A Shore Thing, I love that they upgraded the doors and fixed the outside shower and the back deck. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Great place to have kids and perfect location to the stores. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Sep 2014

The house was nice enough, however the beds were horribly uncomfortable. The house`s location was perfect! Beautiful area and great town! We wished the swing had been at a height so that we could actually use it. It was a tease. Also, we were not given enough towels. You shouldn`t have to pay for extra. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Jul 2014

We had a wonderful time at this house. The people at Atwood were most congenial. We were concerned about the stove on the first day and they responded promptly. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Only takes one word. AWesome! Did miss the swing though and bath on right facing ocean looks like it`s falling thru to carport. Informed agency upon checkout. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Been staying at this house for years. I would highly recommend this house. The beach is really close. You can sit inside and all you see is the ocean. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. May 2014

Great location. Great view. Loved the back deck looking out to the ocean. Part is shaded and part in the sun which was good for the view and for reading in peace. We like to cook while we vacation and the kitchen was well equipped. Grocery store right across the street. Plenty of room for my husband and I and our teenagers. Lots of seating. Washer and dryer worked well. Easy late check in and easy check out. Will stay there again. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

My husband and I only had a 3 night stay at the shore thing which was entirely to short. The rental was as appeared in all the photos online we enjoyed the beachfront location being able to sit on the deck and watch the ocean and to go shelling. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Comfortable home. Location was wonderful. Porches and views wonderful. Atwood was easy to work with. I LOVE EDISTO! All Good. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

This was our first trip to Edisto. We loved laid back vibe of the island and the locals were very friendly.A Shore Thing is a very nice house extremely convenient to shopping as it is right on Palmetto just past the first curve.For being right on the street, it is amazingly quiet! It is also pet friendly! Once off the front porch and in the house, all you hear is the crashing of the waves out back. When they say beachfront,they mean beach front!At high tide the house is literally feet from the water.The property was spotless and the only fault we could find was there was no gas grill and the old Weber charcoal grill was in horrible shape and missing parts.
If you`re looking for convenience and don`t mind being close to the street, A Shore Thing is the place for you. P.S.--(Bring your own drinking water,..R/O water systems are great for bathing/washing, but not much for consumption) We will definitely return to Edisto Beach next year. Thanks Atwood for a great weekend! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Oct 2013

If you want ocean front, this is it! At high tide the water is actually up to/under the deck. That does leave small beach area, but as soon as the tide goes out it`s fine. The gas grill was in appalling condition, but there was a small charcoal grill you could use. The house was very nice, just the right size. We would definitely stay there again. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Sep 2013

Boards falling off the house, no lock on the sliding back door, roof of the covering on the back deck falling in, worn out and weather-flithy furniture in the `game room,` roaches in the house, and more: this property should not have been rented. We were told of none of these problems when we rented it, and yet when I complained, someone from the rental agency said they knew there were problems but hadn`t been able to get into it to see what all they were. Then they apologized. But they knew all this before they rented it to me! And it was for a wedding anniversary! If and when it is completely renovated, it could be nice. But not now. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Sep 2013

We loved it, beach front, walking distance to all the stores, what we didn`t like was the outside shower NEEDS alot of work(we had to use the water hose to rinse off), the beach view balcony isn`t safe for children alone (some of the boards aren`t even attached),the stove surface hot light is always on, and the swing down stairs isn`t hanging, its broken off. Other than those details the location and view are wonderful. We would stay here again even with the problems. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Sep 2013

Overall very relaxing stay. The only problem we had was the back door handle cracked so it made it hard to open the door and close it. This happened the night before we left so I informed Atwood at check out. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

We have spent the last 14 yrs at this location, that should let you know that we like this house. We like being in walking distance to stores. An the Pravillion traffic has never been a problem. Overall house has improved in furniture and bedroom upgrades. Enjoy not having to bring linens. Could use more large metal utensils, but adequate pots/dishes,etc. We had a GREAT week, the weather cooperated!!

Edisto is one of a kind. No rush, not many cars or people. Just family time. Was able to fish, sun, swim, and even see turtle lay eggs this time. Been going to Edisto since I was a little girl. My family has grown to expect Edisto and this house as part of their vacation. Be there again next year. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

The house is in a very good location, walking distance to several island shops and food. AND RIGHT on the Beach. This is a place to get away from it all, it is VERY low key beach. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Apr 2013

I had a wonderful experience at Edisto and would do it again. The location is excellent and the area is just conducive to relaxing. The house was very accommodating for my family and had all the needed amenities.

Things that would have made the place even better: I would have liked to have had better light blocking blinds in the rooms facing the ocean and sunrise, so I could sleep in later. The hot water heater is set too high for kids as you could easily scald yourself. The washing machine water lines are reversed, but this is an easy fix; but just know not to take a shower while the machine is running or even shortly after as there will be no hot water. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

. Mar 2013

We thoroughly enjoyed our time. The house was comfortable and all the amenities were in good condition. The water, of course, would be our only complaint, but we understood this is an issue for the areas water supply and nothing to do with the house. The did have a water purifier which helped. Overall had a fantastic experience!! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

This house has a great layout and the rooms are spacious. The kitchen has everything needed. However, the dining chairs and living area seating are just plain worn out. Our visit was over Thanksgiving and with the shorter days more time was spent inside the house and the quality of the furniture left alot to be desired. Otherwise....Great!! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Perfect house for two family`s with children as the bedrooms where on each sides of the kitchen and living room . With the right expectations of standard this is a great vacation house on the beach. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

After staying in multiple locations along the coast, this is the most beautiful beach we have been to. Millions of seashells and clean sand. The house, not so much. It was surface clean. It was the deeper cleaning that was much in need such as cabinet handles, sides of the refrigerator, trash can, counter top appliances. The sofa, loveseat and chair were filthy and you sank to the bottom on the sofa. We had extra linens, so we covered them otherwise we would have been out shopping for something to put on them; they were disgusting. The bedrooms were clean and nice and for the most part, so were the bathrooms. There was painting that needed done. The porch was missing spindles making it very dangerous with the large opening in 4 places. Also some of the spindles were loose only on the bottom, so if they were pushed against, they gave out. I called the company on Monday and they said someone would be out on Monday afternoon or Tuesday. No one ever showed up.The spindles that were missing were sitting in the sand below. We took nylon rope and put it along the spindles crossing it where there were large spaces and securing the loose ones. I saw that someone had mentioned this problem in an earlier review, but I thought the problem would have been fixed by now. The city water is salty. They said it is safe to drink, but yeach! We bought water to drink and I also used it to wash my hair. If you had containers, you could get free water at the town hall. The salty water caused issues with the appearances of anything that the water touched, but I can`t blame the company for that, but it was still disgusting. It is an old island and so as I talked to others, most of the houses appeared dilapidated. As far as restuarants, try them all even if your not sure by the outside appearance. We ate a lot of very good food. Be sure to try the Sea Cow! Their desserts are great! `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

The bathroom on the left needs a new shower curtain liner. The shower on the right has a good bit of water damage around the tub. The recliner sofa (not the sleeper sofa) appears to be broken.

We really enjoyed our stay at Shore Thing. It`s proximity to the beach and to the state park were definite pluses.

This is the best location on the beach if you like to walk everywhere! Walking distance to several restaurants, shops and grocery store. The house is directly on the beach so no walk over the dunes. Very convenient if you have kids :) the only reason I didn`t give 5 stars across the board is because a water pipe burst in the middle of the night and flooded the entire left side of the home. We had to wake the kids and move to another home. The property management was very professional and helpful with the move down the beach. Luckily, there was another comparable home available ocean front that we ended up staying the remainder of our stay. I would stay here again and will be renting from Atwood Vacations again for sure! I highly recommend them. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

We have stayed at Edisto for the past 5 years and this place was the best out of all of them.

My husband passed away in May 2011. My family and myself did not want to stay home for Christmas. This house felt like being home. The kitchen was perfect and had all the conveniences of home.

This is the second year staying at this house and we hope to stay many more. It is a great property with a great location and view. I wish some of the back deck boards would be replaced and the furniture be a little updated. It`s nice but a little worn
in and uncomfortable. Other than that we have had a great experience both times. Also Atwood Vacations are great to work with and so friendly.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the beach. A Shore Thing was immaculately clean (kudos to your cleaning staff). We did our best to leave it very tidy and ready for them to do general cleaning for the next stay. There were only a couple of problems with
the property and one of those is truly a safety issue. First the non-safety issue. The desk chair in the family room is broken. Someone had to sit at the desk most of the time so we could all have seating in the family room and we had to place the desk chair
against the desk to keep it from falling backwards. From the appearance I would guess that someone leaned back too far in the chair and broke it. It was that way when we arrived. I was the first person to sit in it and when I leaned back I almost hit the floor.The
safety issue is with the spacing of the rails on the deck facing the ocean. We had our granddaughter with us. She is 19 months old and we had to stand in front of her at all times when on the deck because the railings are spaced too far apart and she could
have fallen through. At one point she reached to put her hand on one of the rails, missed it and her body started going sideways between two rails. Also, one of the railings was missing and had not been replaced. Instead, a plastic outdoor side table had been
set in front of the large hole (an open space over a foot wide. Not a good idea at all since our granddaughter could have easily picked up that lightweight table herself. We ended up moving rocking chairs against the railings to keep her away from them. It
made for a not so comfortable and enjoyable time on the deck with the family since we could not allow her to be up playing without someone beside her at all times. The spacing for the rails do not meet code and the missing rail really needs to be replaced
before a child falls through. We didn`t even notice it was missing until about the second day ourselves. Not complaining, just informing. We had an absolute `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

The house was for the most part clean, however our sheets for 2 of the beds had a few stains on them. One of the bed comforters (the bedroom my husband and I slept on) actually looked as though it had a few blood stains on it, so we didn`t use it) Also,
once again the air conditioning wasn`t working when we got there and we had a 5 wk old baby w/us this year so it was very hot. We had issues w/the air last year as well. Lastly, the porch deck on the beach side is missing a post, which makes a VERY wide gap.
I have a 2 yr old and I just happened to see it when he was only a few ft away from it while we were on the deck. If I hadn`t, he could`ve fallen through it because it was that wide of a gap. For safety purposes this needs to be fixed. We still like this house
so I am not giving a bad rating, it`s just that these are things that I felt needed to be brought to your attention so that you can let the owners know. They may need to invest in a NEW air conditioner and PLEASE FIX THE POST ON THE BEACH SIDE DECK. Thank
you, Tammy Jackson `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`

Wow! What a great time we had in Edisto Island. The house was clean, prepared, and fully equipped in the kitchen! The only complaint was the towels provided were inadequate (too thin and small) so next time we`ll take our own bath towels. However, the house is in great shape! There is ample room and our grandchildren loved having a tv in every bedroom! We so enjoyed the porches - both the front toward the beach and the screened-in porch for barbequing!

. May 2011

Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay. I knew it was an older unit, so, the general condition of property was good. I mean the bathrooms were dated, but we would certainly come back to it again. The one thing that I didn`t care for was the `envelope` left for us from the cleaning service. I mean, standard cleaning practices are included in the rental price and if the people who rented the property prior to us left it a mess, then monies should comes out of their deposit money, don`t ask me for a tip because I found the property clean, and we always leave a property cleaned and usually vacuumed.
I have rented many homes, and this is the first time I have come across this.
I did not mean to insult the cleaning service, but I do expect a property to be clean when we arrive. Again, we would not hesitate to return to A Shore Thing. `This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.`
