Fort Myrtle stands out as a truly distinctive Edisto Beach retreat thanks to its historic live oak privacy berm, creating a natural sanctuary unlike anywhere else on the island. This shaded, tree-lined barrier provides both seclusion & space for adventure, making it ideal for kids to explore, climb, or simply lounge with a book while adults unwind with drinks or watch the sunset. The berm sets Fort Myrtle apart, offering an experience of quiet, private coastal living that is rare even on Edisto.
Beyond the unique landscape, the property is designed for multi-generational enjoyment. The spacious outdoor decks & downstairs lounge allow for gathering, entertaining, or just relaxing in comfort. Guests can enjoy games like cornhole, bocce, Jenga, or set up a hammock for ultimate leisure. The backyard area encourages both play & tranquility, providing flexibility for families, friends, or couples seeking a versatile escape.
With a Weber charcoal grill, propane burner, large stock pot, and a full complement of cooking utensils, guests can easily host a Lowcountry boil, cookout, or casual family meal outside. Beach excursions are equally effortless: the property provides beach towels, a Cool Cabana tent, umbrellas, chairs, wagons, and toys, so families can pack light & enjoy a carefree day by the ocean.
Another defining feature is the propertyâs proximity & convenience without compromising privacy. Just a few minutesâ walk to Beach Access 32, guests enjoy seclusion & accessibility, with local favorites like Whaleyâs, Bay Creek Park, & the Marina close by.
The blend of historic charm, natural beauty, versatile outdoor living, and family-centered amenities ensures every stay is memorable. Guests consistently praise its peaceful atmosphere, thoughtful design, and unique spaces. Itâs ideal for creating memories, celebrating milestones, or simply enjoying the unhurried, scenic island lifestyle that only Edisto Beach can offer.
