The Hammocks History
When The Hammocks was first developed it was considered ahead of its time. Before Edisto Island drafted it’s current development restrictions the developer’s plan was to develop an eco-sensitive neighborhood. A state of the art sewer system was installed, and the lots were larger than the lots on Edisto Beach.
The developer also chose to use Shell Sand for the roads for better longevity and more efficient erosion control. Additionally, The Hammocks was one of the first developments in the area to have strict deed restrictions. These covenants and by-laws were designed to protect the investments of the property owners in The Hammocks.
A Unique Coastal Community
Located on Edisto Island, The Hammocks is a small island neighborhood of only 59 home sites. Nestled neatly within an abundance of low country Live Oaks and Palmetto Trees, surrounded by salt ponds, marshes and creeks. The Hammocks is truly is a nature lover’s paradise! Most homesites have either marsh, creek or ocean views and claim home to many different species of wildlife!
Here in The Hammocks front row lot owners have direct access to boat-able water on Scott Creek. While all other property owners in the community have access to the community boat ramp. This gives all of the residents access to kayaking, fishing, crabbing and shrimping. Or if “beaching it” is more your style, simply take your boat out to Jeremy Inlet! Here you can beach the boat and enjoy the north end of Edisto State Beach all within minutes or your home in The Hammocks! And…if you are into taking great walks, Jeremy Inlet is just 2 miles down the beach from the town of Edisto Beach! Walk the beach after a winter storm and you’re sure to find a few collectable shells! And…I guarantee you won’t have to deal with traffic!
