About this property

50 steps to the ocean, 1 mile from the town and a great house for everyone

A wonderful Folly Beach House! Location and fun! 50 steps from the beach you will enjoy incredible views of the ocean, sweet beach breezes, rustling palm frowns, & crashing waves while relaxing on hammocks or rocking chairs, and a short distance from the main center which has the fun bars and restaurants of the fabulous Folly beach. Folly beach is a wonderful beach community with bars, retaurants, live music & tons of fun beach things to do! My beach house is perfect for groups but the best part is that the house is 50 steps (I counted) to the ocean, games, outdoor shower, hammock, beach toys.This beachy home has a bbq grill, 3 tv's (one on the outdoor screen porch with surround sound speakers, lots of space, wet bar, beach chairs, beach toys, private parking pad, beach access right across the street, a side sandy beach on property, rope swing, large deck overlooking the ocean with tons of patio furniture, 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2 family rooms, gorgeous kitchen, sun-room, , a deck stretching across the entire front of the home, with a large screened in porch below, street to street lot, spacious paved shell driveway (on E Ashley), Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful Folly Beach home for your perfect vacation getaway and to make lifetime memories!

A summer retreat with family

We celebrated my father's 80th birthday here, bringing in family from all over the US. It had ample space for us all, close to the beach, yet far enough from town to be away from traffic. We love Charleston in general and the week was fantastic.

Family stay in Folly

We chose this property because it had the number of rooms we needed for our family of 11. As advertised, the home is about 100 yards from the beach. The home has a rustic feel to it, but that lends to the beach vibe that this community offers. Very quiet neiborhood. We had all the amenities we needed, including all the beach equipment and games. The beach here is not the best, but it was good enough for a week stay. If you have a large family or friends this is a good home to rent.

Easter Weekend

This home is older and not as functional as we thought. The kitchen is located downstairs so not on the main level of the home. The property manager was nice to let us bring our dog. We had some miscommunication with the listing saying it was a dog friendly home and it actually generates as a dog friendly home when you search for it on VRBO but in the description of the home it is not dog friendly anymore. The decor is cute and shabby chic. The kitchen needs some help with cooking tools/knives, and baking ware. I communicated all of this to the manager. Also, we were without a washing machine, it was broken... This was communicated before arrival but no credit was given to us for this inconvenience. Overall, the home was okay. We like more of a view and a more updated home for our liking.

Great place for large group

Had a really lovely stay here. House was comfortable and had enough room for our large group. Access to the beach was great and the porch made for a fantastic spot for morning coffee. Marcie was super responsive and accommodating. Would happily stay here again.

Sweet little beach house

What a nice place to unwind and enjoy Folly! The house is an older beach house with old oak floors and shiplap walls. Furniture is eclectic and mismatched but it works somehow. Color scheme and artwork are charming. Beach accessories and chairs are plentiful, and it's a short walk to the sand and surf. The yard and the shady oaks in the back are gorgeous. If you're looking for a McMansion or an upscale home, this isn't the place for you, but if you want someplace cozy, clean and comfortable with tons of personality to unwind with family and friends, this is your place. One note and totally not the fault of the owner: On this end of Folly, there are rock walls on the beach to prevent erosion. If you love an unobstructed view, you'll need to go to the southwestern end of the island. That was our only major disappointment, but again, that's an issue independent of the house.

Charming beach house

I visited with a group of friends, and we were immediately charmed by the house. There was plenty of space to hang out and relax, and beach access was very easy.

Charming house

The pros: very charming house,, close to the beach, lots of different rooms (with doors!) for various members to hang out in. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. Ample parking. The cons: several of the appliances either didn’t work at all (drink fridge in wet bar) or had issues (main refrigerator, microwave, washer). Texted with property owner and she wasn’t aware of the issues, pledged to hire someone the following week to look at them. Also much of the inside upholstered furniture is sagging, porch furniture pillows are torn/soiled. Not a deal breaker but not as polished as the pictures lead you to believe. Beach access is a few doors down the street- still a short 100 steps but not 50 steps as described. I would recommend this place assuming that appliance issues are fixed.

Great trip to Folly Beach!

Marcie’s property was everything we expected and more. Just steps to the beach, this house was beyond convenient if you’re going to be spending days at the beach. The area of beach this house is by was quieter compared to other parts of the beach we saw, which was nice. The house itself had all the beachy feels and was clean and comfortable. We all said we would definitely return to this beautiful property if we return to visit Charleston!

Ideal Weekend Getaway

Good Golly, Miss Folly was the ideal place to hold our recent family reunion. The house was roomy enough for all of us and the location was ideal. Marcie is a terrific hostess who helped us out with recommendations. We would definitely stay there again.

Perfect Sweet 16 Weekend

We loved this house! It has the perfect shabby chic beachy feel, with a view of the ocean and the beach right across the street. We celebrated my daughter’s Sweet 16 with a group of her friends, and the floor plan allowed all of them to sleep in one room, with plenty of room to spread out downstairs. Marcie was great to work with. She was quick to respond, and even let us add our Lab to the party last minute. The house is thoughtfully equipped with all you need. We truly felt like a guest in her home. Thank you! We would love to come back.

Nice place, nice location, nice price

This beach house was pleasant. Good location, about a mile from the pier. It was a little dated. The lower level shower couldn't be adjusted for warm water, either hot or cold? Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to any family.
