My family and I loved this rental! We stayed from Christmas until the New Year and had a great time! After hour check-in was super easy. The key pick up was on the way to the rental so it was extremely convenient. Thank you to other reviewers who mentioned Google takes you to the gated entrance and to, instead, follow the map provided!! We arrived without issue and received parking/entry passes at the gate. Have the address of the property ready for the gate attendant. As others also mentioned, you do have to drive back to the front to get in or out. My party did not find that to be a problem. The walk to the beach is about 10 minutes. It did take us a few minutes to figure out how to get there though! So here are my directions, with your back to the house, go left on the street, follow the road curving up and to the left. Turn right at the next intersection (Hutto?), you should see the gated entrance to your right. Walk around the gate and down a few blocks and there you are at beach access 22!! Thae beach was beautiful and quiet. As far as the home goes, it was super clean, extremely well stocked and very comfortable. The gas grill had plenty of propane and we used it a few times. The grill was also very clean. We appreciated the starter supplies, dish and dishwasher soap, laundry pods and toilet paper. I'd rent here again. The area was lush, quiet and full of deer!! It's the perfect home for a relaxing stay on Edisto Island. Thank you!
