Edisto Deep Water - Dock and Boat Ramp - Recently Renovated - 40-acres
About this house rental
Welcome to Endless Views! This property offers more than a typical beach vacation - if you love nature you will love Endless Views! This is one of the few Edisto Island rentals with 40 acres of land and a deep water dock and boat ramp. The property is located on Little Edisto Island, which is part of Edisto Island, just 45 minutes south of Charleston, South Carolina. Edisto is all about environmental conservation and Endless Views is in the middle of this protected wetlands environment, situated 2 miles out on the very end of a peninsula formed by Russell and Sand Creeks. This means that car and truck traffic noise are replaced by the calls of birds and dolphins breaking the water (yes we have lots of dolphins in the creeks!). You will also find it cooler than areas with paved surfaces. The house is raised on stilts and sits in an open setting with consistent sea breezes while still featuring modern conveniences that will make you feel right at home. We recently renovated everything including all new windows, front and back stairs, new attic insulation, complete restoration of living room and painting inside and out, new hot tub controls, updated bedrooms and new food pantry. You will love the privacy of the house's three separate living areas or “pods” each with their own NEST thermostat. The main pod includes a common area with a modern kitchen and dining area that opens up to the water-facing porch and features a screened porch with a grill. You enjoy the great views while sipping a glass of coffee or ice tea! Flocks of seabirds and spectacular sunrises and sunsets fly over the miles of open water and marsh that start on your doorstep. The master suite pod has a king-size bed, an ensuite full bathroom, a private screened porch, and laundry room. In the third pod you will find two bedrooms, one features a king-size bed and the other has two queen-sized beds. You group will love the walk in showers and screened porch and may want to use the two full sized mattresses that are stored if you need more flexible sleeping arrangements. Linens and towels are provided for bathing . The dock will be the center of your water activities with lots of equipment at your disposal such as a “flip up” swim ladder, two single and one double kayaks, three crab traps and a minnow trap. Guests often have their happy hour on the dock while watching the dolphins swim buy or watching their rods baited with shrimp or minnows. The deep water dock (8' deep at lowest of the low tides) is only a short walk along the marsh. Since it is a 32 foot private dock, you are welcome to use it as much as you would like and leave your beach chairs (or up to two boats) for the duration of your stay. Next to the dock is our boat ramp that can launch even larger boats, as well as a storage chest with life jackets for both adults and children. You can also drive right along the marsh up to the dock if you have coolers, fishing equipment or chairs. After an exciting day of activities such as hanging out at the dock, exploring the waterways by kayak or walking the 40-acre property, guests like to sink into comfy sofas to enjoy reading a favorite novel or watching a favorite movie. You may want to cook local seafood and vegetables or take a break by serving delicious prepared foods from Flowers Seafood and Kings Market that are prepared in their own kitchens. Guests describe the kitchen at Endless View’s as a “cooks kitchen” because it features such things as a full-sized refrigerator, Jenn Air brand stove, dishwasher, microwave, coffee pot with coffee, toaster with air-fryer, and many pots, pans and utensils. The dining table seats eight to ten guests and both the screened porch and open porch have tables that seat four. The kitchen island also has high-top chairs for hanging out. Other amenities include a large hot tub, washer/dryer, heating, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi. The Property Endless Views has a fascinating history, it was deeded as a Lord Proprietors Grant in 1710 to a plantation owner named Joseph Russell who received the land from the King of England. Since then there’s only been a handful of owners with the property passing between generations of the current owner’s family since 1961. Endless Views on Little Edisto is one of our two vacation houses on the 40-acre property, both houses are separated by a grove of trees and are well over a football field away, and we only rent the endless views when our friends and family are not staying there. When we are in town, we only interact with our guests unless requested and the property is so large we often forget that they are staying on the 40 acre property. Endless Views is two miles down Russell Creek Road -- a mile of paved road and then yet another mile on a private gravel road, where you come to the very end of the peninsula. You will then bare left and go down a long wooded driveway to the house. If you have a boat we recommend that you turn right at the sign that says “San Russ Point ”. To get to the dock from the house, it is a short walk or drive (if you have coolers or such) along the marsh. Take one of three kayaks from the dock and paddle down the creek or if you have a motorboat you can drive out to the ocean or Bohicket marina which has a fun bar/restaurant porch area. There is nothing but marsh and open water for 10 miles in front of the house, if you look to the left the view is of 3 miles of marsh and waterways that include the North Edisto which is part of the intercoastal waterway. To the right of the house is our private dock on deep water Russell Creek and past Russell Creek even more forest that provides roosts for wood storks and egrets. The tides deliver up to 8 feet of water every 12 hours to the area and sometimes make the marsh grass all but disappear under its flow. There is virtually no car noise and fewer people in the area results in more wildlife. If you have a dog, you can let them run on the property, or keep them in the fenced area connected to the water-facing porch. In the mornings walking around the property or down the mile gravel road offers great birdwatch as you will routinely see brown pelicans, wood storks, oystercatchers, great egrets, piping plovers (on sand flats), roseate spoonbills (late summer), herrins, hummingbirds, a multitude of birds in the forest, including hawks and bald eagles. Although we often visit the other wonderful sites on Edisto and the surrounding areas we find it hard to leave and always are glad to get back to the property. The Dock: Fish for bass, trout, flounder, whiting and even juvenile sharks. Set the crab traps with fish heads and then have boiled crabs for dinner. In the fall until generally late December, bait and throw a cast net to catch shrimp off the dock walkway. At low tide, our 32-foot floating boat dock has 8 feet of water under it so it's good for swimming, fishing or crabbing with our three supplied crab traps or you may want to help your kids catch crabs by pulling up a string with a piece of chicken and a weight. The dock is also a great platform for launching kayaks, swimming and sunbathing. The boat ramp is sufficient to launch even larger boats that can be left on the dock for the duration of your stay. You can wash your boat with a hose provided at the Endless Views rental house. From the dock you will often see dolphins travel up the creek fishing and playing, if you hang out on the dock or if you go out in one of the kayaks. There are activities for everyone on Edisto Island. Including an excellent golf course on the Island, which will satisfy the most discriminating golfer (and a second golf course only 20 minutes from Edisto Island). By car, you can explore Edisto Island's historic churches and plantations, state parks, and unique activities such as the Edisto Island Serpentarium alligator feeding (open April-October), Bingo Nights at the Lions Club (great for kids – summer only and go early), strawberry and vegetable picking at Kings Market (May to early July). Blueberry picking in late June. Edisto Beach State Park two locations or the 4,360-acre Botany Bay Plantation are all a short drive down Hwy. 174 (If you go to Botany Bay go at low tide!). We often enjoy a late morning or late afternoon at the beach and then eat at the picnic tables at the state park, or eat at McConkey's Jungle Shack (especially if in bathing suits)l We also like Whaley's Store which is the locals' favorite lunch spot. For seafood we often go to Flower's Seafood truck which on the way back to Endless Views. If we do not feel like cooking out we pick up Seafood to go at Flowers or prepared meals and fresh vegetables at Kings both are a short drive from Endless Views. Via motorboat, you can take a 20-30 minute trip to remote beaches such as Deveaux Bank and the north edisto both at the mouth of the Edisto River. Take advantage of local attractions including kayak tours, fishing guides, or even a shrimp boat charter. Further afield, explore the ACE Basin (wonderful plantation house with rocking chairs on the back porch just 15 minutes from Endless Views) , Cypress Gardens, Middleton Place and Magnolia Plantation, Donnelley Wildlife Management Area, and of course, the beautiful town of Charleston. For inside entertainment, there is a flat-screen television (with basic Hulu Service, Chromecast and HDMI port. You will also find books and puzzles next to the dining area. Sorry we are not set up and do not allow weddings or larger groups on the property.

Fantastic week at an amazing property!! Our host couldn't have been more helpful. The location was absolutely beautiful and if you are looking for privacy, seclusion and peace while still being within 20 minutes of everything, this is the place to be. The private dock and boat ramp were a great bonus, making getting onto and off of the water very easy. We will definitely be staying again.

The property was gorgeous and we had wonderful weather during our time with beautiful sunrises each day. Our dogs enjoyed the 2.2 mile walk each day and we certainly appreciate Mike and Vickie's hospitality and generosity with the use of their boat ramp and dock which allowed us to view the beautiful porpoises each afternoon. We send our sincerest thanks!

It was a very nice week with our adult children. Beautiful view, very accommodating and attentive owner. We had a great time relaxing on the deck, fishing and kayaking. The only reason for the 4 star instead of 5 is that the listing does not show/mention the large house that is close by on the property. That was a surprise to us as it was between the rental and the dock. It wasn’t a problem, just not what we expected. Also, we arrived a little after the 4 o’clock check in time after an 8 hour drive, and the cleaning person had just started. We waited outside until close to 6. Overall though, it was a beautiful, relaxing stay.

Everything was lovely. There are thoughtful touches to make it easy to be there with a dog: a fenced area that connects the the deck, covers for the couches and lots of space to run.
It was a thrill to see (and hear) the dolphins from the dock.
There is another house on the property which was a surprise to us, but not a problem.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Endless Views for our first visit to Edisto. We wanted something quiet, and we prefer the marsh views to the ocean. Loved the screened porch for our meals. It was neat watching how the marsh changed with the tides. We got a lot of use out of our tripods, binoculars, and telescopes from the deck. Absolutely loved the lounge chairs out there! Some White ibis came close to the house, and we saw an armadillo for the first time. We saw deer tracks but never got to see the actual deer. Every day we could count on seeing the mockingbird in the palm tree in front of the deck, a kingfisher as we left the gate, and a snowy egret in a pond after the gate. We enjoyed birdwatching at the dock. We had planned to kayak but unfortunately the weather wasn’t great for it. However, my husband actually jumped in one to go rescue my hat that blew into the water! The house itself is very roomy, we loved all the windows. Hot tub was huge! The tide clock was neat and on point. We didn’t even turn the TV on the entire week. There are lots of books so I found one and I actually finished it while there. We have rented numerous homes in many different places over the years, and no host has been as good as Mike and his wife. He provides such an enormous amount of information! Our favorite place that we visited was Botany Bay, though we didn’t get there until late so we only had time for the beach section, but the sunset there was beautiful. We had not planned on visiting the state park, but had time to, so we went to the pier by the learning center where we saw a bald eagle. We got lunch one day from Flowers and took it to Steamboat Landing which was a really nice spot to watch dolphins, plus you can see the house from the dock there! The Ace basin was nice to wander around. As far as dining, we picked up a pizza from Sandbar which was good. We had surprisingly wonderful sandwiches at One 4 Coffee…hubby loved the Cuban he got. We mostly got “heat and eat” meals to eat at the house from King’s Market. What a great place..we went three days in a row (they sell out of items quickly so there seems to be always something different each day). Get the key lime pie! Advice to anyone coming to Endless Views/Edisto Island…bring binoculars, bring bug repellent (especially at Botany Bay), and watch out for fire ant mounds. Then enjoy some peace and quiet.

Mike, my husband and I were not able to enjoy the week we had your rental property. My son and his wife were there and they said it was quit delightful. My job made it impossible for us to come but there is always next year. Thanks for your hospitality and your wonderful rental.
Thanks

The property is surrounded by beautiful marshes perfect for crabbing and fishing from dock. Only thing I did not like was having to walk in the rain to get to my bedroom. Also not a good location for small children as they run out of stuff to do after 3 days. But my grandson got to pitch a tent and “camp” out one night. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly.

Nature Is The Star At “Endless Views”
“Endless Views” is situated on a stunning piece of property overlooking the marsh and Russell Creek. There is so much to love here. Birds, Dolphins, Lizards, Deer, Frogs and Armadillo abound. The dock is perfect for sitting, swimming, kayaking, crabbing and dolphin viewing. Amazing stargazing. Incredibly quiet and peaceful. We really were content to spend the majority of our stay on the property.
The house layout is great, allowing for both privacy in the separated sleeping pods, and gathering space in the main house. The views are expansive and captivating . The house is showing signs of age and wear, but is quite comfortable. Kitchen is very well stocked.
The only thing keeping house from a five star rating is the lack of cleanliness. The house needs a deep, thorough cleaning. Hopefully, the owner will address issue with the housekeeping crew.
Despite the above issue, we would return to this secluded piece of paradise in a heartbeat.

A Gem Vacation Property
Our family had a fantastic week at Endless Views. We have stayed at a lot of VRBO properties and this was one of the best. It's very secluded and feels like you are at a retreat. We really enjoyed the privacy of the bedroom pods being seperated from the living area. It made getting up early for coffee and sunrise nice because you didn't have to wake anyone up doing it. The owners are in a beautiful house next door and they are very friendly and accommodating but leave you to your space. We never felt like we were intruding on their property, though you have to walk past their house to get to the beautiful, deep water dock. Our dog loved roaming the yard and marshes as well. We'd definitely recommend, and would come again.

Nature retreat
Endless Views is perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. We saw dolphins while on the dock and when paddling the kayaks which were provided by the owner. Sitting on the deck we saw deer, mink and countless birds. The owner was exceptionally accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. We had an amazing experience and will definitely return.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Endless Views. It was wonderful getting together with my daughters, not something we get to do very often. Everything was neat and tidy and the hot tub was such fun! Plenty of things to do and Charleston was not too far away. Mike was the perfect host and available for any questions we might have. We hope to visit again!

We quickly fell in love with this property. 40 private acres, fishing, swimming, kayaking, crabbing, nightly stargazing and SO much more. The host was an absolute pleasure and so helpful throughout our stay! He allowed us to bring our golf cart and our pups, and we were in paradise all week long.
The floor plan of this home is a dream for a family vacation, the separate bedroom pods allow for anyone to seek complete privacy with their own private deck.
There was never a lack of things to do on the property, not to mention you’re just a short ride from the town and beach. And Charleston isn’t far either! We found that there was so much we didn’t get a chance to do that we may need to book a little longer next year, we’re already sorting out the dates. We will definitely be back!
