Serenity Now|Charming 2BR Beach Cottage|Walk to Beach in Minutes|Sleeps 6|Dog Friendly
Serenity Now | Charming 2BR Beach Cottage | Walk to Beach in Minutes | Sleeps 6 | Dog Friendly Sometimes the best things come in smaller packages, and Serenity Now is proof of exactly that. This adorable two-bedroom, two-bath Edisto Beach cottage nestled among swaying palmetto trees is the kind of place that slows you down in all the right ways. Cozy without feeling cramped, charming without trying too hard, and just three minutes from the shore, Serenity Now is the perfect island escape for couples, small families, and anyone who has been looking for a reason to finally visit Edisto Beach. Consider this your reason.
The Home Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the smart, open layout that makes this cottage feel bright and welcoming from every angle. The large combination living and dining area is the heart of the home, a comfortable gathering space with lovely coastal decor and a relaxed atmosphere that sets the tone for your whole stay. The galley-style kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to cook up a fresh lowcountry meal or keep things simple after a long, sun-soaked day on the beach.
Just outside, the large, covered deck is where Serenity Now really earns its name. Spend your mornings here with coffee and the sounds of the island drifting through the palmettos, and your evenings watching white-tailed deer make their unhurried rounds along the tree line. This is Edisto at its most peaceful, and it is all yours.

Bedroom 1: King-sized bed with private en-suite bathroom Bedroom 2: Queen-sized bed with access to shared full bathroom (shower only) Living Area: Queen Sleeper Sofa Shared full bathroom (shower only) serves Bedroom 2 and the living area TV in the main living area High-speed Wi-Fi throughout
Whether you are planning a romantic getaway, a small family beach trip, or a friends retreat on Edisto, Serenity Now has the space and the layout to make everyone comfortable.
Outdoor Living Cool off on the ground-level patio after long, hot days in the sun. With plenty of seating and a grill ready for the cook in your group, this shaded outdoor space is the perfect place to wind down with a cold drink and a lowcountry barbeque before the evening rolls in. And with the beach just a three-minute walk from your front door, you will spend more time with your toes in the sand and less time getting there.
Location, Location, Location Serenity Now sits in a central, convenient location that puts everything Edisto has to offer right at your fingertips. The beach, local restaurants, the marina, and the grocery store are all easily accessible. Rent bikes or a cart for the week and cruise the island at your own pace.

We live in South Carolina, but wanted a beach getaway for the weekend. The property is exactly as advertised and so close to the beach! We had a great stay here and will recommend this location to friends and family!
We enjoyed our stay at this 2 bedroom home. It was close to the beach, and quiet. Easy drive from Charleston. We also drove to Savannah. Loved Botany Bay Plantation. Beautiful scenery and many places to eat around town. Hope to come back!
Thank you for such a great stay in your cozy cottage! Our family of five felt right at home with plenty of places to sleep, extra pillows & blankets. Everything was so pretty and very clean! We loved the outdoor space downstairs and that outdoor shower..WOW! Great location too. Can’t wait to come back!

Very nice. Clean and comfortable with great water pressure. Short walk to beach (5 minutes). Short walk to Whaleys restaurant (1 minute) for lunch and dinner. Close to attractions; Botany Bay, Serpentarium and Edisto State Park.
Everything was just as advertised. Was shocked it was right across the street from Whaley’s famous seafood joint and that was a nice surprise. Also the pizza place next door had amazing garlic knots which came in handy since I left the garlic bread at home I planned to make with spaghetti. Kitchen was well stocked. I couldn’t believe how close this was to the beach. Very nice surprise. I would stay here again and again. Our little family had the best weekend and as always, it ended too soon. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a great stay!
Relaxing and comfortable cottage which is close to beach
We enjoyed our stay at Edisto and Serenity Now. It was a short walk to the beach and an even shorter walk to Whaleys a favored restaurant of locals and visitors. Our check in process was not what we expected since we never got the email about the office being closed on Sat..We did not see the instructions for the wi-fi since it was posted on the refrigerator behind the entrance door. Had to call an emergency number and was given a voice message about 3/12 hrs. later. A welcome folder with info about the TV, stove and local attractions would have been nice and what we had come to expect from our former VRBO stays. Overall, though, it was a very enjoyable visit.
and different attractions would have been nice. Also,
beach chairs in good condition would have been appreciated and had been provided previously.
The house and property is beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay and the walk to the beach is not bad at all. The house was clean and tidy upon arrival. The young lady working the front desk when I picked up the keys was very friendly and polite.
We had a great tim House was clean and comfortable. The under the house lounge section was amazing. It looked like the pictures,which is not often the case. We had a blast and would stay again. The Dyers
Inside was unique....open and spacious. Kitchen was very well equipped with plenty of counter space. 2 BR and 2 BA was very convenient. Very peaceful on the side porch in both mornings and evenings. The patio under the house could be a real sanctuary but is in need of tree, bush and under brush clean up.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Clean kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, but living room sleeper sofa and sectional was terrible, sofa with heavy stains so heavy that they couldn't be used had to cover so we wouldn't notice it,and full of pet hair
Serenity Now is a beautiful little cottage located a short walk from the beach. We loved the decor and the beautiful beachy artwork throughout the cottage and the ceiling molding! So pretty! The dining table and chairs were our favorite furniture in the cottage. The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans and dishware. We loved the landscape surrounding the cottage for privacy. The front porch was lovely, and the table of shells was fun as former guests wrote their names and date of stay on the shells. We left a pretty white oyster shell to commemorate our stay.
