Hey All - I’m looking for some info. I have a pre-bid Friday on Edisto and the wife and I want to stay the night. I spent a few summers fishing out of Edisto in my teens. Have not been back in 17 years. I’ve looked on the COC website and found a bit of information. Three questions.
Thaks in advance!
Not sure you can stay just one night - check with Wyndam or Edisto Sales and Realty. Old Post Office just reopened - call for reservations or try Dockside for good fried seafood. While you are there go to Botany Bay Plantation.
Good Luck

You gotta love the South Carolina Lowcountry.
I second what Edistowildcat sez, the Plantation Grill at the Resort is also very good, the Old Post Office had just reopenned, no reports yet. For lunch or lighter supper try McConkeys on Jungle Road, all fried but very good
Have a good stay

I think it might be possible to get a place at Bay Creek for one night…especially at this time of year since the rush hasn’t started. I’d call them up first and then if all else fails, google “Bay Creek Villa rental” and see if any personal renters appear. My thinking would be if the room is available…they’d rather make money on one night than none.
Thanks for the input. The folks at the OPO called me back and offered the cottage in the back for the night ($50.00). It looks fine from the pictures. Looking foward to a relaxing evening.

What are they planning to build down in Edisto?
My wife and some friends ate at the Post Office last Friday night, and it was very good with a fair price. You cannot wear jeans though. My wife had to listen to me complain about wearing slacks all night.
Oh and I highly recommend touring Botany Bay. The Mayor of Edisto said it best if you think of Edisto Island as an “oyster” Botany Bay is the pearl.

DNR check station at Botany Bay. It is out of our regular range but it has a big cooler in it. The food service sub asked me to price the building with him.
Certainly planning on checking out Botany Bay after the meeting.

I’ll keep it to myself. I fished a couple of summers during my teens offshore of Edisto. Have not been back since, but I have fond memories. Caught my first sail on the Lazy Lady and went for a swim off their dock.

What about shorts and tee shirts, any policy on that??

Dress shorts, but your shirt will need a collar. Just think of it as “GOLF” attire. And no flip flops.

WOW, I do have a few collared shirts, but no flip flops at Edisto??, I think this should be criminal, the food better be pretty good!!

I’m with EF. Can’t believe “Beach-Casual” is forbidden anywhere on Edislow Island.
We usually dine at “The Waterfront”. They have a dish with shrimp, sausage, peppers, onions, and other veggies all covered in a marinara type sauce. Man that is some good stuff !
I’m with ya EF I didn’t want to dress up to eat out on Edisto, but It was my wifes idea and I lost that battle.
I hope the OPO is as good as I remember especially if you have to be “starched”. I’ll give a report Sun/Mon.

If my jeans are not good enough for a beach eatery, then neither is my cash.
I really enjoyed that place before too.
sarcasm? i can’t tell.
oh, and botany bay is terrible. i don’t see why anyone would want to go there.
We had a very good time in Edisto Friday night. We took the tour of Botany Bay - It is as advertised. Very beautiful. OPO was just fine. I was dissapointed that the quail and grits was no longer on the menu. I ate the veal and the wife had shrimp and grits. Good prices, good service, and good food. We rented the cottage behind the OPO for the night.

Been to Edisto at least 2 weeks for 33 straight years and not once have I ever taken a pair of shoes(besides to mud in) or dress pants. Guess the OPO is for golfers only now?
There were some king mac. fishermen in there Friday night. Ugly shirts, shorts, gold chains and white reeboks. I guess that makes the dress code?
