Lovely Cottage for a rainy stay.

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.

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.

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.

Winter Getaway

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!

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!

Great little cottage

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.

Edisto

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.

Great porches, uncomfortable beds!

The cottage was comfortable - except for the beds! Most furniture was fine; the cooking pans should all be replaced - non-stick coatings were scratched so the pans were unusable except for a set of nice stainless pots. Vacasa was prompt in responding to a few problems. The decks & steps need power washing.

Perfect Spot to bring in 2023!!!

Firefly cottage was everything I hoped it would be and more! Reasonably priced, quiet to offer plenty of moments for reflection, and close enough to go to the beach whenever I desired. I had some pretty amazing moments at this place! Thank you so much for providing all the amenities I needed to reflect on blessings brought to me in 2022 and to prepare me for the goals I shall accomplish in 2023! I could not have chosen a better place than firefly cottage for the special moments that were created!

Enjoyed A Quick Getaway

Thanks for a relaxing few days for my first visit to Edisto. This property is a bit dated -- nothing fancy -- but still very comfortable. Only "complaint" (that's not even really a compliant): Could never figure out how to access cable service from the TCL Roku system. Instructions left in the house/online may need to be updated. Current instructions are not accurate. Inputs could not be changed. I'd consider a return visit to Firefly Cottage.

Very Quiet and Great Porch

All of us were very comfortable and happy with Firefly Cottage. The back screened-in porch was delightful, especially for coffee n the morning. We ate most of our meals there. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was adequately equipped. The only negative is that more people have "found" Edisto. This was our 4th visit and it was a lot more crowded.

Teacher rest and rejuvenation.

Well supplied but bring paper products. The two screen porches were great. The overhead fan on back porch didn’t worked but there was a fan to use in closet. Two bedrooms were great. Third bedroom in loft was a little difficult to deal with the stairs going up to it. Kitchen and coffee maker was great. Nice laundry room with small washer and dryer. Had a great time at firefly cottage.
