WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO COME HERE? (January 12 - February 2, 2024)


                                                                                          REFLECTIONS

Every time that we visit Wyndham Ocean Ridge on Edisto Island in South Carolina, I ask myself; "Why would anyone want to come here?"

There are no high-end restaurants or even seafood buffet places. "Why would anyone want to come here?"

There are no arcades or Ferris wheels or movie theaters. "Why would anyone want to come here?"

The no see ums are everywhere and I think every jelly fish in the Atlantic Ocean comes here to die on the beach. "Why would anyone want to come here?"

The winds often blow at Gale force, and it whistles through the door frame and windows. "Why would anyone want to come here?"

The rooms are small. The guest room has two single beds and no TV. The furniture is dated. The deck is only big enough for a small table and four chairs. Many buildings have no elevators. "Why would anyone want to come here?"

The nearest Walmart is an hour away! The nearest hospital is an hour away! The nearest National Restuarant is an hour away. Just about the nearest anything is....an hour away! "Why would anyone want to come here?"

"Why would anyone want to come here?" Yet this is the 7th straight spring that we have made an extended stay. We've been coming here on a regular basis since 1985. Guess we're just not too bright, but you, you're smarter than that. 

Besides, if you come here than it will be more difficult for us to make reservations.

Just in case anyone is confused....we love Edisto and you would too!

Many of those are the very reason we love Edisto!

Looks like you're staying at Bay Point. We own there and love it!

One of our favorite places in the Wyndham line up. A vacation VOID of neon signage and commotion is just that a VACATION.

Left there for Florida a few weeks ago and will be returning on our way north. Can’t wait for the nothingness!

I asked that question when I first arrived at Edisto, but loved our stay there. It is a special place to “settle in.” Of course , we had some very special hosts when we were there. Thanks Al and Sherry!
