About this property
Snowbird-friendly island cottage with fairway views, lanai, & AC - dogs welcome
Summary:
An island retreat made for slow mornings, salt air, and returning year after year
Welcome to Firefly Cottage, a place we hope becomes part of your story.
The Space:
Tucked beneath century-old live oaks and swaying palmettos, and overlooking the fairways of Edisto’s Plantation Golf Course, this cozy cottage was meant for unhurried days and easy evenings. Whether you’re gathering with family, slipping away with friends, or simply seeking a quieter rhythm by the sea, Firefly Cottage offers a setting where memories seem to make themselves.
LOCATION
Set in a peaceful corner of Edisto Beach, the cottage is just minutes from the shoreline, local shops, and favorite island restaurants, yet feels a world away. Charleston is an easy hour’s drive when you’re in the mood to explore.
For those who’d like a little extra activity, Guests will also have the option to access Wyndham's on-site resort amenities including three pools, a playground, tennis courts, and a fitness center (for an additional fee).
ACCOMMODATIONS
Firefly Cottage comfortably welcomes up to seven guests with three thoughtfully arranged bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Each bedroom includes a TV and convenient USB charging at the bedside.
- Bedroom 1: King bed with private en suite, soaking tub, and separate shower
- Bedroom 2: Queen bed with access to a breezy deck and adjoining full bath
- Bedroom 3: Full and twin beds tucked behind a custom barn-style door upstairs
LIVING SPACES
Inside, the cottage feels open and light-filled, with vaulted ceilings and spaces designed for gathering. The kitchen is fully equipped for everything from pancake breakfasts to seafood dinners, with bar seating and a dining table for shared meals.
Evenings are best spent in the cozy step-down living room with a movie playing, a board game spread out, or a good book in hand.
OUTDOOR LIVING
Life here tends to drift outdoors. Two screened porches extend the living space, including one with a large dining table and electric fireplace for lingering dinners. The back lanai looks out over the 5th green, framed by moss-draped oaks, a place for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or simply watching the light change.
A walk through the neighborhood often brings sightings of deer, herons, egrets, and turtles, small reminders of the quiet beauty of the island.
ADDITIONAL AMENITIES
Central air, a full laundry room, and provided linens and bath essentials ensure a comfortable stay. (Beach towels are not provided.)
WIFI
High-speed internet makes it easy to stay connected if needed, though we hope you’ll find plenty of reasons to unplug. Smart TVs allow access to your favorite streaming services as well as local and sports channels.
Our hope is simple: that Firefly Cottage feels like a place you return to, where traditions begin, children grow, and the same familiar glow of summer evenings calls you back, year after year.

The space was nicely decorated.. the multiple porches were a great spot to relax in a peaceful setting. The house had all the amenities for comfort. Would definitely stay again!
Very nice place to stay. Dog friendly with plenty of good walking areas. House very clean without being coated in Frebreeze. We enjoyed our visit very much.
The weather did not cooperate, however cottage was well appointed. Furnishings were clean, upholstery was clean. Doggies liked the golfers and the deer. Beds were nice. Would stay there again.

Family Getaway
Wonderful house with beautiful surroundings. Neighborhood was perfect for dogs and kids! Will be back.
My husband and I found this cottage met all of our needs. It is a little dated…bathrooms could use some updates…but we were comfortable. It’s dog friendly which is a huge plus for us. Quiet area great for walking the dog.

Great Stay!
Great location! Great accommodation for our family + pet! Great weekend getaway overall! Beds were awesome, everyone slept well. Neighborhood was quiet and beautiful with palms and live oaks, great for walking! Woodsy area also provides ample glimpses of wildlife- deer crossings and squirrel chases! My adult kids want us to come back!
Very nice, peaceful and relaxing. We loved the screened back porch. We enjoyed watching the deer roam around in the evening. We had an owl visit us a couple nights.
I spent a month at Firefly Cottage. Very nice home for my winter getaway! Loved the open floor plan with plenty of room inside and out for dining and relaxing. Beds were comfortable. Nicely stocked kitchen and cooked often throughout my stay. Loved that there are two screened porches. Very quiet neighborhood and everyone we encountered was very friendly! Restaurants and beach accesses are a short drive away - just minutes. This was my first time staying at Edisto Beach and looking forward to returning!
The house could use a refresh, somewhat dated. Master bathroom shower door will not fully close. Many doors stick and are hard to open. Kitchen has little storage. You need to bring in an exterminator as way too many bugs. Beds were comfortable. Quiet location, enjoyed watching the golfers.

Firefly at Edisto
Our family had a wonderful stay in Firefly Cottage. We found the beds to be comfortable and the photos are accurate to the home. The front porch was great for dropping off sandy items to keep from dragging sand in the home. The back porch was a favorite spot to relax each morning while drinking coffee. The home is on the fifth hole about where the average golfer lands their drive. We enjoyed watching the hunt for golf balls. We had four adults and found the home to have plenty of space for the four of us. We could walk to the Marina but the beach was a little too far carrying beach items. They have a good selection of card games, puzzles, kid books and kid games in the home too.

Edisto Spring Break @ Firefly Cottage
This was a great rental for our family of four. Since it was off-season we got the unit at a great price and let our teenage daughters have their own room but this unit could be comfortable for up to 6 people. The third bedroom is up a spiral set of stairs. So, it wouldn’t be suitable for people that cannot climb steep stairs. We really enjoyed the peacefulness and the large screened in porch on the golf course. Everything is in good working condition, the kitchen is well stocked with newer pots and pans and the bedrooms are good sized. The speedy internet service is appreciated for after sundown movies. When we return to Edisto, we’ll definitely consider this rental unit. The only downside is the ocean side of the beach would be quite a walk. Though the sound facing beach would definitely be walkable.

Cozy cottage. Living room and back porch are best features of the home. Pros: Watching golfers on the 5th fairway of the Plantation Course from the back porch. Golf pro shop is very near the cottage.
Cons: Kitchen and both bathrooms are in serious need of upgrades. Refrigerator is vintage as are the two bathrooms. No ice maker in freezer nor were there ice trays. Required us to purchase store ice. Bathrooms need new cabinets, new paingt, and significant quality caulking. Could not watch live TV during 4 day stay. Better pest control needed to mitigate the cockroaches. Regrettably, without these changes we would not rent this property again.
This was our 3rd stay at Firefly cottage! Two roomy screened porches are great for relaxing. The house is right on the golf course, easy access to the pool, and a short walk to the beach!
