Marsh Aire, Big Island, & Beckett Plantation 

Some of the most peaceful communities on Edisto Island are located off of Shell House Road, a beautiful oak and Spanish moss lined roadway that is a true throwback to the dirt country roads of yesteryear. You won't see or hear many neighbors, but you will see and hear plenty of wildlife.

Marsh Aire Edisto Island

Marsh Aire

Located between Peter’s Point Road and Oyster Factory Road, Marsh Aire offers privacy, quiet, and fantastic access to an unspoiled estuary. Marsh Aire provides a quiet neighborhood setting with homes and lots on tidal creeks and beautiful views across the marsh. Fish and crab from your dock, kayak to Fishing Creek, watch the abundant whitetail deer raise their fawns, or just do nothing. You'll be surrounded by peace and quiet. 

 

 

Sunset from Big Island


Big Island

One of our favorite Edisto Island communities is Big Island, accessed via a one mile scenic and private causeway across the marsh. Formerly a part of Shell House Plantation, Big Island offers homes and lots with deep water access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. By car or boat, Big Island is less than five miles to Edisto Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. Big Island is a fisherman’s paradise offering fantastic fishing and crabbing from your own dock or the endless creeks that begin at your back door. Like to fish offshore? Leave Big Island in the morning and you can be in the Atlantic Ocean in less than twenty minutes. Rather stay at home? Garden in your oversized yard, watch the painted buntings arrive each spring, and enjoy unrivaled peace, quiet, tranquility, and nature’s beauty.

 

Birds over Beckett Plantation

 

Beckett Plantation

Just minutes to Edisto Beach is Beckett Plantation, an area once home to an eponymous sea island plantation that was built over three centuries ago. Today, Beckett offers unique residential lots and homes with dozens of acres to roam and a community dock for residents. You'll enjoy a tucked away feeling and access to the pleasures of the Lowcountry including fishing and crabbing. Homesites include deep water lots with private docks, marsh view lots, and wooded sites, while established homes on deep water, marsh front, and wooded cul de sacs are perfect for a variety of lifestyles.
