About this property

Discounted nightly rates for Fall 2025! ONLY 200 STEPS TO THE BEACH!

Rest, relax and refresh at our newly renovated home located at 920 East Ashley (AKA “Sandy Bottoms”), where you can "get away from it all" and take everyone with you!

This is a spacious vacation home, which is a rare find at Folly. You can have the best of both worlds! This home offers ample space to accommodate large gatherings but is cozy enough for those who wish to capture some quiet time.

Our vacation home is only 200 steps to the beach and 9 short blocks to Center street.

Whether you prefer relaxing at the beach, surfing at "The Washout" (which is just five blocks away), or are drawn to the hustle and bustle of Center Street, at days end, you can retire to the peace and tranquility of your vacation oasis. Our home has a generously sized great room with a large flat-screen SMART TV, 5 ample sized bedrooms with new queen-sized memory foam mattresses with all new fresh bedding (May 2020). Our home also has 4 full bathrooms.

Our lower level is a dedicated 1300 SQF game room, 50 inch SMART TV, Poker table, Ping pong table, Air hockey, Foosball and a Kitchenette with the 4th full bathroom on this floor.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate….no worries…you’ll still have fun hanging out on our updated, 700-square foot, fan cooled veranda. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine on one of the two wooden decks that overlook a beautifully landscaped yard. On-site parking areas provide convenient parking for at least 5 vehicles.

Family time

Our family came to Charleston for a wedding. We loved the location! It was close enough to restaurants to ride bikes and we didn’t have to deal with the crowds. The house was just a short walk to the beach and there also were not as many people there. The house worked great for the amount of people we had.

Great Place

This was a wonderful place to stay for our large group of friends on Folly Beach. Close to the water, walking distance to downtown, and a nice clean and organized space. Great communication throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend if you have the opportunity to book this place not hesitate.

Stay at Sandy Bottoms

The house is as described. We were in the area for our daughter's wedding and enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and we had plenty of room for the 10 adults, 2 kids and a toddler that were there on and off during pur stay. It is very close to the beach and we had fun looking for shells and playing in the waves. The kids loved playing in the screened in porch. We would definitlely stay again!

Another great stay!

Sometimes it's worth going back to the same place. It'd been four years since I'd visited this house and my return trip was just as precious. The location is exceptional--quiet, a block off the steps to the beach, plenty of parking. I love that the game room is downstairs and not connected to the house; the young adults love it. The owners are responsive and kind. My daughter and her friends enjoyed the room to spread out and the ability to be together. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

adequate, though pricey

The location was very good. The accomodations were fine for our group. The beds were just okay. Polyester sheets made sleeping difficult in the humid heat. Hosts should have upgraded (for a relatively small investment) to cotton. Communication with hosts was an unnecessary challenge. We concluded that they expected us to check VRBO regularly for communication instead of our regular email ??? Lower level was inconvenient for us.

Playhouse was Family vacay Perfection

Our son was married on Folly Beach. The Playhouse was the perfect set up with many bedrooms and tons of common space including a lower level that was used for family games! The location was very close to the beautiful beach. We grilled out on the lower level and there was ample parking for our family. The host was very chill and easy to get a hold of. The home had a ton of space and was very clean. The location was PRIME for a beach vacay. Close to shops, restaurants and the beach. Well priced and I would definitely recommend for a family friendly trip to Folly.

Great for family gatherings!

We really enjoyed our stay at Sandy Bottoms! The rooms are spacious with comfortable seating and beds. Huge table for the 8 of us to enjoy meals together and play games. Very clean and in a quiet neighborhood. Super close to the beach too! Game room was a nice bonus for evening activities! Only suggestions for owner would be to change linens from microfiber to cotton for more breathable comfort, and to upgrade and provide more bath and hand towels. Owners were super nice and responsive. Overall would recommend, and we would stay here again without hesitation.

Amazing family vacation

We enjoyed everything about this home and its location! Easy quick walk to the beach. We rented a golf cart (highly recommend) for ventures into town or just cruising to the parks or around. Lots and lots of room in the home to either be close to family or spread out enjoying the many options of porches and outdoor sitting areas. The game room was an added bonus for all of us when we were taking a break from the beach or the lovely southern humidity:) The owners are very easy to communicate with and would highly recommend this place! Thanks for opening up your home and allowing my family to be together for a week.

Nice place

Overall it was a good place to stay. The AC went out on the first night but was fixed by the following morning. Beds are decent. Very well equipped house and lots of sleeping spaces and bathrooms. Location is fantastic! Didn’t care for the 72 cap on AC but we got it ok’d to turn it down at night. 72 is fine during the day but at night it was stuffy. It all worked out.

Great place for a group gathering.

The main house was spacious and clean. The linens were nicely prepared. The kitchen was well supplied with all we needed for the stay except the food and drinks of course. We didn’t really use the game room downstairs because it was dusty and air was stale and not directly connected to the main house. We had to go outside to entered the game room area. One thing though, perhaps since it was an early spring booking and the AC had not yet been maintained and serviced, the main AC system did not work well. Good thing the one in the master bedroom was working fine so I slept well. My friends had to endure the warm temperatures at night. We were out most of the day and we can cool ourselves with ice cold drinks in the evening. That reminded me, the ice maker in the fridge was also not working well.

Sandy Bottom 3 day stay for 6-10 people.

Nice, well maintained property. Manager was accessible and capable. We had 10 and it was roomy enough for all get together on the porch, in the kitchen/dining area or in the living room at the same time. Beds were comfortable. Fun times in main living space. May have been the time of year, but the downstairs gaming area was not a magnet, a bit musty. Nice equipment, just too musty. Will stay again if similar circumstances bring us back. Thank you! Nice property!

Great place for a sports team

We were in Charleston for an early season track meet with our high school team and had the boys here and the girls in a separate house. The house was great for our group. The basement game area was particularly popular. It's not a fancy place and the layout is a bit unusual, but if you have a large group and looking for something casual but comfortable, this house will work well.

This was a perfect home to host our reunion. The house was a perfect size and the game room gave us another place to send the kids so the adults could visit. The hosts provided so much more than one would expect. Score on the coffee and sugars. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Barill

Host profile image
When we first vacationed in Folly Beach, we fell in love. We are a part of a large family from Michigan and this has been a dream of ours to own a vacation home on this beautiful island. We put a great deal of TLC into renovating this home so families can have a place to gather, slow down and reconnect.
Our family would personally like to invite you to share our home and fall in love with Folly Beach the way we did many years ago.

Why they chose this property

This property gives you all that you need; plenty of space to stretch out in the house and a .25 acre lot. We love the tranquility of the property, but are close to the hustle and bustle of the beach town atmosphere.
You are only 200 steps to the beach and 9 blocks to Center Street, where you can eat, shop and visit the acclaimed Bert's Market! (Open 24/7/365)

What makes this property unique

*Entire lower level, 1300 sqf. game room. Great for evening entertainment, a break from the sun, or those unexpected rainy days

*Our house features a (3) fan cooled screened porch on the front of the house to relax and an upper level deck in the back. It also has a covered and paved patio on the lower level.

*There is a fully-stocked kitchen, with all new appliances.

*All 7 queen sized beds feature new, memory foam mattresses, bedding and pillows.
