OCEANFRONT, Four Bedroom 2 Bath Beach house ~ The Ravissant!

Oceanfront with direct beach access, the Oceanfront Ravissant is a 2256 square feet beach house built 84 years ago! The Ravissant brings back the memories of going to the beach when you were young. In those days, having air conditioning was a rare occurrence so the windows and doors were opened wide. Lots of the doors were even louvered to allow the ocean air to flow through the house even when closed. You could feel the ocean breeze blowing through the house all day and night. Sometimes it was so hot you would pull the mattresses out on the porch overlooking the ocean and sleep. It was just like sleeping right on the beach but much softer. Hearing the ocean waves hitting the beach at night was so relaxing. The Ravissant still has that rustic charm you’d experience way back when, but with modern updates like washer & dryer, heat and air & WiFi.
Two spacious covered porches are the perfect place for hanging out after a long beach day and sipping on some sweet tea. In addition to the spacious porches and uniqueness of the interiors, the old charm of this historic home will encapsulate you and your family like many before you while you develop your own beach memories! The current owner’s are only the second family and have owned The Ravissant 47 years now and have raised children and grandchildren with many fun summers getting together “at the beach” year after year.
This home is perfect for family & extended family. On the first level is the kitchen which has just been updated with cabinets and is having its first dishwasher installed this week. This opens to a lovely dining area which flows on to the family room and onto the oceanfront private covered porch. There is a laundry area with Washer/Dryer and an oceanfront bedroom which opens up to the private covered oceanfront porch; perfect for those cups of coffee watching the sunrise. There is also an additional bedroom on this level and a full bathroom.
On the second level there are two more bedrooms, one oceanfront which opens to another covered porch along with the second family room. There is even another kitchen which harkens back to years ago and is perfect for another cup of coffee, toast, snacks etc . You don’t have to go downstairs to get those things if you don’t want to; “Grandma” was quite an extraordinary hostess!
As with any historic beach home; it has a few little quirks, like the floors are not all exactly level. One of the guests described it well: "This is an old school beach house and we were prepared for that. The location is wonderful and the sunrises from the porch were unparalleled, and the quirks of this house (older homes that haven’t been remodeled have a lot of them) did not deter us from enjoying our morning walks on the beach or listening to the sound of the waves each night. You’re not going to rent here if you’re looking for an updated home. We prefer the nostalgia of original beach homes and the beach mixed; we like to step back in time while we still have the opportunity to do so. It’s almost impossible to find this type of beach vacation anymore.”

Nice and Relaxing
My wife and I with our furry children had a great stay at this older but very nice home beachfront, roomy and comfortable, well appointed. Easy access to the beach and the screen porch is awesome. Definitively looking forward to staying again!
We loved this house. Although next time we will rent directly from the rental to avoid the fees
Relaxing and beautiful view. Our dog was so happy and comfortable.

Nice older home on the beach which reminded us of the experiences we enjoyed when vacationing on the island as children.
This is a very nostalgic property and is reminiscent of "Old Edisto". I selected this rental for this very reason. Having spent numerous vacations on the island since the early 60"s, I wanted to resurrect this vibe for my siblings and their significant others who joined me for our stay in October. The Ravissant surely "fit the bill".
As always the Ravissant did not disappoint! We watched old Christmas movies, walked on the beach and played Yahtzee. Enjoyed brunch at Sea Cow Eatery and saw dolphins at the marina at Pressley’s. Thank you for a wonderful time!
You couldn’t ask for a better location. Being able to sit on the porch swing and watch the waves roll in every morning with my coffee was amazing. This is an older house but as someone who has been coming to Edisto since 1971, this house is the essence of what Edisto really is. We had a great vacation with only one small problem, the a/c was leaking but it was fixed before the end of the day. Couldn’t ask for a better host!

Great House
Loved Ravissant!! Would be great for two families. Two private spaces and accesses.
Only warning. Lots of sand burrs on beach access! Wear shoes. Dogs may need them too!

Disliked: Communication
Stave at Ravissant
The property was not acceptable. The kitchen was very ill equipped, no can opener, no oven mitts (had to use towels from the bathroom to get things out of the oven), very poor lighting in the kitchen area. There was no medium to large pan in the kitchen to cook in (my husband had to go to the hardware store to buy a pan to cook in). The light in the laundry hallway did not work so we have to use our phone light to get clothing in and out of the washer/dryer.I would not book this property again.
