Considering that mid-November is off-season, Jeremy was very responsive delivering (10) bikes for a men's retreat 30 minutes away on a remote island. All the bikes worked perfectly and were very comfortable "cruiser" designs. It was particularly nice that that the seats could be adjusted without opening a tool box. I high recommend Edisto Bike Rentals - we will be using them again in the future.

Edisto Beach State Park

A family-oriented recreational area.

Reviewed By susanr627 - Syracuse, United States

We were able to upgrade to a beach side campsite due to a cancellation. The other campground looked nice but without another vehicle or bikes it was way too far from the beach. Our site was amazing. We could hear the roar of the waves just over the dunes. Dogs need to stay on a leash but are welcome. The beach is loaded with shells and another camper found something that appears to be a mastodon molar. Restrooms are close and clean. It was a half mile to a mile to several restaurants, but nice options. The Bi-Lo is under construction but will soon reopen. There is no laundry on the Island. Dump station is out on Rt 174. Great place for a few days, but bring bug spray.
