“Great vacation at Egrets Pointe”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011

I have been to Edisto before and loved it. Rented houses previously. This time I took 2 friends and stayed at an Egrets Pointe Townhouse on the strength of other tripadvsor reviews and was not disappointed. The rates were better than a house. The group next door said they had been coming to Egret's Pointe for the past 24 years! That speaks volumes.

The two check in staff people were terrific - answered all our questions. A+ for them.

The unit was very clean with excellent kitchen cookware and utensils. Loved the reverse osmosis water filter on the sink and for ice cubes - saved us having to lug in water (low country tap water is brackish and nasty). Had to use an aircard supplied by the office for internet access - PC only. There is also free wifi at McConky's and Edisto Bookstore. The decor is pretty 1980's but I don't expect designer interiors with beach rentals, so it was fine. Nice deck out back. We didn't get to see the resident alligators.

2 bicycles come with the unit - nice biking on roads and trails. One tire was flat and the office responded promptly.

5 minute drive to the beach - there are parking areas practically on every block. Mid-September was perfect - no crowds, still warm in 80's and the ocean temperature perfect! There can be hurricanes this time of year but we lucked out. We went on a kayak tour with Edisto Watersports which is right at the entrance of the Windham resort where Egrets Pointe is located. Also great staff at Edisto Watersports. The seafood store next door had fresh seafood we cooked at our townhouse. McConkey's had yummy fried seafood (it's vacation - forget that diet!), the Seacow makes awesome breakfasts (lunch looked like it would be good, too.), The Pavilion had a great view (full moon rising at dusk) but the food was definitely subpar and not cheap. We got super vegetables, casseroles and more at King's farm stand a few miles before the beach on the main road. Great place.

Edisto is a wonderful place if you like a natural, unspoiled beach (other than the beach houses). If you want an endless line of kitschy beach shops, hotels and night life go to Myrtle Beach. If you like sitting on the beach, swimming and watching dolphins, Edisto is the best. You can also take a day trip to Charleston and Beaufort is also worth visiting for the historic houses and lighthouse (Forest Gump was filmed there, in part).

“Only average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

While the accommodations were just average, I will say that the 2 things we called management about were quickly taken care of. We travel to Edisto Island with our friends every year but this was the first time we stayed at Egrets Pointe. Most of the townhouse was okay, however the beds were not comfortable and the decks really should be cleaned each week. The website states that a phone is provided, however when I asked about this I was told it was no longer provided.

“Edisto Egret's Point Condos, Just Right”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2009

people found this review helpful

Stayed a week at Egret's Point Condos near the end of Edisto Island in February 2009. Nice two bedroom with full kitchen, washer-dryer, two tv's, and a nice view of a small lagoon out the back side. Had a resident alligator and an elusive otter, and a few ducks and egrets. No mosquitoes yet, but I suspect there are lots in the summer. Condo also provides two bicycles for your rides about the island.

No wi-fi in the room, but it was available a block away in a nearby reception parking lot, or inside up until 9 or 9:30 in the evening. Nice folks to work with at reception which for these condos is located back outside of town. Wonderful beach walking about 1/2 mile away, with a state park beach available, and quite a few small shells to comb through and collect. Lots of free parking on the main street sides, but only park in the direction of the traffic flow. Also lots of parking inlets along the beach access streets.

Several good restaurants, with the Seacow having a great shrimp salad at lunch, and McConkey's Jungle Shack serving great hamburgers and sandiwiches and free wi-fi. Seating is tight at McConkeys but worth the wait. Also ate at Main Street diner, but the meat selection was lacking on the day we visited. However the vegetables there were great, and the cooks very friendly.

The museum and local churches are well worth a visit to enjoy the history of the island. Oh, yes, remember the speed limits on the two main roads in town. They are fully enforced by the local police. Enjoy...

“Egerts Pointe Townhouse Review”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2007

We traded one of our timeshares for a week at Egrets Pointe Townhouses on Edisto Island in South Caroline the last week of May, 2007. We had a wonderful time and the Resort was great. The ride to the island is so very southern-old oak trees, hanging Spanish moss, etc. Coming from California it was a treat! The townhouses were great-2 bedrooms, 3 baths, one room with a giant jacuzzi in it, large living room, dinning room and kitchen. The unit had just been updated and was extraordinary! There is a lagoon along the townhouses and it has three resident alligators and lots of turtles!
Fairfield offers lots of things to do and we went to Charleston on a tour and joined other guests for a Low Country Shrimp Boil, which was very interesting! We took a bottle of wine to enjoy with our dinner-and were the only ones there drinking! There are two bikes with each timeshare. Fairfield has it's own beach access with lounges and umbrellas for rent. Just be sure to pay for them at the resort. They will also drop you off and pick you up at the beach.
The Piggy Wiggly was adequate and had lots of stuff and the local shops were reasonably priced and had good merchandise. We cooked most every night, but did eat out once at the Waterfront Restaurant and Bar. We would not recommend it-the food was tasteless.
We would certainly go again to Edisto Island and would obviously stay at Egrets Pointe! Great Place!!! We highly recommend it!
