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.

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!

Cute from the outside
Very small kitchen, older furniture and appliances. Beds were very comfortable. Not near the beach, you must be prepared to drive.

So happy you enjoyed your stay at Firefly Cottage and liked the Wyndham run Ocean Ridge Resort location. Though located in the resort the cottage is privately owned and is located on a quiet street. Firefly Cottage hopes to see you again one day.
Really enjoyed our stay at Firefly Cottage! We enjoyed the quiet location and proximity to everything. We rode bicycles everywhere and loved the screen porches. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. House was set up great for me, my husband, our kiddo and dog. We hope to visit again soon!

Stephanie,
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed the decor of Firefly Cottage. With the large common area, a great place to all gather, the front and back porches also offer areas where you can have private time and more intimate moments of conversation. Thank you for choosing Firefly Cottage, Cathi
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.
Plenty of space for four adults looking to relax and recharge.

Kathryn,
We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay at Firefly Cottage. Knowing that you found the cottage clean was so very important to us as that aspect of your stay could make or break your experience.
The layout of the bedrooms to the common space does allow for spaciousness and a feeling of "large". Hope you enjoyed the outdoor screened porches!
Hope to see you for a future stay on Edisto Island.
Cathi
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.

Great place to get away from it all while being close to the beach!
Great house to kick back and relax in. Worked great for the 7 of us, plenty of room and an open floor plan. Close 2 min drive to the beach too.
