There is something special about arriving on Edisto Island and feeling the pace of life slow down, and 234 Driftwood Lane offers an easy way to make that Lowcountry lifestyle your own. Located in the gated Ocean Ridge Resort community, this third-floor, 708-square-foot condo combines golf-course scenery, a flexible floor plan, furnished convenience, and the potential for short-term rental income--all within one of South Carolina's most distinctive coastal destinations.Positioned overlooking the 17th fairway of The Plantation Course at Edisto, the setting is a big part of what makes this property stand apart. From the private balcony, enjoy views across the course and toward the marsh, with sunsets providing a fitting end to an Edisto afternoon.Being on the third and uppermost level means there is no residence above, while the vaulted ceiling adds height and openness to the main living area. Inside, the condo has been thoughtfully maintained and updated for comfortable, low-maintenance living. The open living space features plank flooring, stone countertops, an induction range, an updated bathroom and fresh interior paint. The furnishings and décor create a coastal feel without overdoing it, and the recently replaced couch and sleeper mattress add another practical improvement. The loft is currently arranged as the second sleeping area, making smart use of the home's footprint while still providing flexibility. Depending on the owner's needs, it could serve as guest accommodations, an office or additional flex space. Combined with the sleeper sofa, the current configuration can accommodate up to six overnight guests--an especially useful feature for a coastal getaway or vacation rental. For buyers wanting a property they can begin enjoying without spending months furnishing and preparing it, this one makes the transition especially simple. The condo is being offered fully furnished with the exception of a few personal items, and it has been regularly serviced by a local professional cleaning company. Whether the goal is personal use, vacation rental income, or a combination of the two, much of the groundwork has already been done. Life at Ocean Ridge puts recreation right outside the door. The broader resort offers golf, pools, tennis and pickleball, fitness facilities, miniature golf, walking opportunities and access to the Edisto beach experience. Resort amenity access should be understood separately from ownership: this property does not include an annual amenity pass; guests may purchase day passes during their stay, according to the seller's listing notes. Official resort information also identifies beach access, pools, fitness facilities, tennis, pickleball, mini golf and other recreational amenities within the Ocean Ridge campus. And then there is Edisto itself. This is a place where the attraction has always been what hasn't been overbuilt--beaches, marshes, live oaks, boating, fishing, golf and the quieter side of the Lowcountry. The condo is convenient to Edisto Beach, island restaurants and shops, while Botany Bay Heritage Preserve/Wildlife Management Area provides another opportunity to enjoy the natural beauty for which the island is known. Charleston is roughly an hour's drive away, making Edisto feel removed without being completely disconnected from the city. The property is within the Colleton County School District, with Jane Edwards Elementary and Colleton High currently identified in MLS information; buyers should verify current attendance zones and school assignments directly with the district. For someone looking ahead to more time at the coast, wanting a manageable second home, or seeking a furnished property with short-term rental potential, 234 Driftwood Lane offers several ways to make the numbers--and the lifestyle--work. Come for the golf-course and marsh views, stay for the sunsets, and enjoy having an Edisto address waiting whenever you're ready to get away.
