The Community Impact Award recognizes a business that demonstrates an exceptional commitment to supporting and strengthening the Edisto community through service, leadership, employee engagement, and active involvement in local initiatives.

This year's recipient, Carolina One Edisto Vacation Rentals, has become much more than a property management company. Through support of local events, youth programs, nonprofits, Chamber initiatives, and countless community organizations, they have consistently demonstrated a commitment to helping Edisto thrive.

Their impact extends beyond sponsorships and donations. Staff members regularly volunteer their time, participate in community events, and support causes that improve quality of life on the island. Their philosophy is simple: when Edisto succeeds, everyone benefits.

For their outstanding leadership, community involvement, and ongoing investment in the future of our community, we are proud to recognize Carolina One Edisto Vacation Rentals as the recipient of the 2026 Community Impact Award.

🌟 DOUBLE HONOR: Sea Island Water & Sam Hurley

We're proud to recognize Sea Island Water Filtration & Pump as the recipient of the 2026 Best New Business Award AND owner Sam Hurley as this year's Customer Service Rockstar Award recipient.

Since taking over the business, Sam has helped Sea Island Water grow into a trusted resource for residents and businesses across Edisto. Through steady growth, professionalism, and a commitment to meeting an essential community need, Sea Island Water has quickly established itself as an important part of island life.

At the same time, Sam has earned a reputation for something equally important—exceptional customer service. Around Edisto, people know that when they call Sam, he'll answer. Whether it's after hours, on a weekend, or when a customer is facing an unexpected problem, he consistently goes above and beyond to help.

Together, these awards recognize both a growing business and the individual behind it—someone whose dedication, reliability, and commitment to serving others have made a lasting impact on our community.

Congratulations to Sea Island Water Filtration & Pump and Sam Hurley on these well-deserved honors!

The new Town Hall for Edisto Beach is beautiful! Shoutout to all those involved in making it happen!

It was funded by the Colleton County Capital Project Sales tax (also known as the “penny tax”) passed by voters. Best part is it came in under budget AND ahead of schedule!! 💪

The Town of Edisto Beach and Colleton County are big partners in everything we do, so we couldn’t be more excited for this long overdue project to come to fruition for both town council and town employees. Thanks for all you do!
