Anchor's Away

Adequate, but a little small for our larger family
Anchors Away is one of those unrefined beach houses that is decidedly un-fussy. We were grateful for the pet-friendly policy, and for the downstairs apartment, which allowed my parents, who have mobility issues, to stay without too many stairs to climb (unusual in a beach house).
There is nothing that was not stated in the description of the house - there are window units in the living room and bedrooms that fight valiantly against the lowcountry heat, but do little to curb the humidity. There is no dishwasher, no disposal, no enclosed outdoor shower, and the grill is the size of a postage stamp. The refrigerator is a little on the small side, and the stove is...well, it's adequate. We cooked all our meals, so that put a strain on us, and with four people upstairs and two downstairs, bathrooms were a little on the short side.
All that said, however, if you want a house that's clean (minus the occasional palmetto bug wandering through, which is really unavoidable in an SC summer), uncomplicated, and close enough to walk comfortably to the beach (straight shot to Access 24), it's good.

Wonderful experience!
What a wonderful experience! The house was absolutely perfect for our vacation on Edisto. Clean, plenty of room and an easy stroll to the beach made the week worry free and too easy. I was there with my daughters and one of their friends, so five people total. Everyone had their own space but also an upstairs and downstairs living room/den area. We never used the back yard but it looks like it would have been perfect for a dog. The walk to the beach was so easy, maybe an easy three minute stroll. The beach was beautiful. The house is located in a perfect area for morning runs/walks and was a very short drive to the sound side for sunsets and the marina. The folks at Atwood were very helpful at check in and we had no need to contact them for maintenance or house issues while we were there. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

A few nights at Edisto
Overall the stay was pretty good. When we arrived our keys were not in the late check in box. After contacting the local police we were able to get ahold of someone to get us a set of keys(over an hour after we arrived). The lower level had a very musty smell but went away with some Lysol and running the A/C. Atwood really needs to have an emergency number that is posted for situations like ours, not the office number and a few prompts, because we never received a call back from the message we left.

Adam, We have just received your review. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are so sorry about the oversight on your check-in packet, and assure that this is not a regular occurrence here at Atwood. Our after-hours emergency line is generally very easy to access but unfortunately there was a glitch with the "night" mode of the phone on the evening of your check-in. We apologize again that these issues arose during your stay and assure you that this will not occur should you visit with us again in the future. By nature, the ground level rooms/areas here on Edisto do experience more moisture and humidity than he main level(s) of the home(s). As you mentioned this is usually remedied fairly quickly once air circulation begins. We would love to invite you back for a more enjoyable stay during any season! Regards, Atwood Vacations Team

Anchors Away
House was nice but outdated. It does not have central air and is cooled by six small window units.
Down stairs stays cool but up stairs is hot and kitchen doez not have any fans or air and was very hot.
Patio needs some kind of fans to circulate the air.

Roland, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased that you found Anchor's Away on Edisto Beach to be clean and conveniently located. We are disappointed to hear that experienced any discomfort with the temperature of the house. As advertised this home does not offer central HVAC so it is cooled by window units and fans. We haven't received any previous feedback regarding the lack of sufficient cooling, but it was certainly very hot and humid during your visit. We will share your feedback with the homeowners who are always interested in enhancing their guests experiences! Regards, Atwood Vacations Team

Great family vacation home
Great family-friendly property. We enjoyed being near the beach and the bike trail.
It would be great if there were a dishwasher and a little more space for eating, but that just gave us an excuse to try out more great restaurants!

Great experience!
We had a wonderful stay! Everything was very clean and met our needs perfectly. We loved having the backyard and it was so nice having an up and downstairs with separate entrances.

Not bad at all
Clean. Great area. Quiet except for GermanShepherd across the street. Loved that back yard was fenced in. Looked moved from outside and better inside. Too man keys, though. Plenty of towels. GREAT shower. Very comfortable and relaxing. Didn’t receive blue bag for towels.

Great place, great location, great visit.
Anchors Away is perfectly situated about 2 blocks from the beach. They even provided a wagon to tote all your beach chairs and goodies. Quiet beach and neighborhood. Locals are very kind and helped us set up umbrellas and beach goodies. The top level and bottom level are completely separate with separate entrances. That was the only thing we didn't love as we have 4 kids ages 2-16. Older kids, couples and friends- this would be a great house.
