Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Open and airy with stellar ocean views, this multi-level home is ready to welcome you to the beach! You'll be blown away by the number of windows letting natural light into the living room, enhanced by the vaulted ceilings. Soak in views of the water and the dunes just behind the house from the great room, the two main bedrooms, and the partially covered deck, and enjoy your very own path to the beach and an outdoor shower to welcome you back.

If you're feeling like barbecuing, the private gas grill outside has a great view and plenty of outdoor seating to allow everyone to enjoy the Folly sunset. But if indoor cooking is more your thing, the full kitchen features a French door fridge, a natural gas stove, a Keurig for your morning coffee, and a kitchen island with three counter stools, all close to the oversized main dining table. The entire home is cooled by central air conditioning.

When it's time to settle in for bed, you'll have plenty of options. The first-floor main bedroom features lovely ocean views, a private deck entrance, and an en suite bathroom with double sinks, a standalone shower with a fixed and handheld showerhead, and a soaking tub. One guest bedroom is just to the left of the front door and features a ceiling fan, a double-door closet, and a multi-window view of palm trees and the neighborhood.

Upstairs, everyone can enjoy the loft space with a TV and casual seating while gazing out at the ocean. A guest bedroom features a ceiling fan with a neighborhood view across the entire island to the Folly River. An additional primary bedroom features a lovely private balcony with a broad beach view, multiple windows that provide plenty of natural light, and a ceiling fan. This room includes a private entrance to the second-floor bathroom with double sinks.

All of the beds and bedframes were updated in December 2024, along with all of the great room furniture, to welcome you in comfort

Additional home amenities include fast WiFi, a sofa bed in the loft for extra sleeping capacity, an outdoor shower and hair dryers for beach days, a private boardwalk to the beach, and two adult-size beach cruiser bicycles. Beach chairs, toys, and umbrellas are also provided.

In addition to being just steps away from the beach, guests are only three blocks from the town of Folly. You'll be close to the Folly Pier and numerous restaurants, all within half a mile of your vacation home! Enjoy a tour by boat or kayak at Flipper Finders Boat & Sea Kayak Tours, just under one mile away. The Morris Lighthouse Heritage Preserve is a short ride to the island's eastern end, looking out on the historic lighthouse that protected the entrance to Charleston Harbor. All that downtown Charleston has to offer is 12 miles away.

Great spot on Folly Beach

Great home! Love the layout and the location! Opportunities for improvement include upgrading the bed in the upstairs room (I think that is already in process) and there may be an issue with the drains (slow flushing, slow sink drain).

Mixed feelings

The best feature of this home is the location. You cannot find much better—right on the ocean, close to Center Street with all of the shopping and restaurants, yet far enough away that it still felt private. The home itself is gorgeous and it has the makings of a luxury stay. However, very poor mattresses, stained bedding and extremely uncomfortable and worn living furniture put a damper on the experience. I had read other reviews indicating this so we had adjusted our expectations before even arriving. If I had not done so I think we would have been disappointed. Overall we enjoyed our stay because of the size of the house, ocean views and proximity, good deck space, and the stocked kitchen. I don’t know if we would stay here again, hence the mixed feelings. The price is so-so for the value. Just a few small tweaks and I think this place could be outstanding. Again, not telling anyone to stay away from this property, just be informed and aware of what to expect.

Location is great. Comfort not so much

While you really can't beat the beachfront location, like other previous reviews, the house is in desperate need of furniture upgrades as well as decking safety improvements. The primary bedroom bed is terrible. There is zero support so you quickly sink to the bottom only to find yourself waking up to feeling the plywood underneath. Yes, the mattress is sitting on a sheet of raw plywood. The living room sofas are also incredibly stiff. One of our guests even remarked "I didn't know it was possible to buy furniture this uncomfortable". The outside decking is also rotted and splitting, with exposed nails and screws popping out - not at all safe with young kids and toddlers. The deck area around the outdoor shower is also uneven and wobbly as if one of the supports is sinking - making it very easy to lose your balance. We were initially happy to find a baby gate to block the stairs from our toddler only to realize the gate doesn't even fit the stairs. Again, location is fantastic, but we won't be staying here again unless the owners ensure a safe and comfortable stay.

Great beach view

House was awesome just needs some repair. Toilet seat needs to be replaced in upstairs bathroom and chairs on deck with table need to be repaired on arms. Elevator was really helpful! The house has a high chair and pack and plays that are very helpful to family but was not listed in listing items and could save families from renting or bringing. Great house!!

Oceanfront is nice but updating needed

While the oceanfront property is lovely unfortunately the beach is the only saving grace of this house. This house is in need of much updating. The living room furniture is highly uncomfortable, old, and does not seat the amount of people that are able to stay in the house. The upkeep of this property does not match the amount you charge for it. The oceanfront is nice, but the house is in need of desperate attention.

Nice

Great place. Solid location. Had a great time. House does need some work for recent rate increase. If I had to pay what its going for now, I would have been ticked. Beware deck railings- do not lean on them. Grill was an issue; so dirty it caught on fire and we had to use an extinguisher. However- these were small issues. Love the house and the vibe. Grammy smiled for the whole trip!

Great location

I have mixed feelings about this place. The location was great. The deck was amazing - the ocean breeze made it possible to sit there at all times. The furniture and mattresses need updating - they’re “tired”. There was plenty of room for 8 adults. The kitchen was well stocked and the home is as pictured. We had some issues but Vacasa was very accommodating so I’m thankful for that.

Beach Front for the 4th

Overall our stay was enjoyable. The house was a little more worn down and not quite as clean as we’d expected. The location of the house however and the layout worked perfectly for our family and the view from the deck to watch the fireworks on the 4th was incredible! Folly is such a walkable town, we loved being able to walk from the house to Main Street in a matter of 10 minutes or less!

Great house on the beach

Loved being right on the beach. It was super convenient with kids. We did not realize it was right next to a public beach access. The beach in front of the house was super busy with people because of that. But we still enjoyed our time and would recommend it to others.

Amazing location

The home was a perfect location to walking downtown and walking home. Perfect to the beach lovely space was lovely, but I definitely would expect better furnishings not feeling like I was in a college dorm for the price and the level of house. The house itself is to beautiful for the type of furniture there. I was disappointed that bedrooms didn’t have TVs. I know you’re on vacation, but relaxing in the morning watching TV in bed it’s part of enjoyment on vacation play in our opinion. Updates to floors and deck steps will have to happen soon, but again very nice location!

Perfect Location but had Theft

The location of the house is absolutely perfect in relation to downtown. Also a wonderful spot on the beach and the view from the house to the water was beautiful. The house had wonderful space with plenty of room for our family of 6 and grandparents. We arrived to doors unlocked and the back doors wide open. The front bedroom window was also open and stuck open. They came to tape it off for our stay. The kitchen floor was filthy upon arrival and we had the cleaning crew come back. We were told we were receiving a refund for the cleaning fee but have yet to see the refund. The place is in dire need of upgrades. The two master bedroom beds are terrible. The furniture is dated. The house was properly equipped otherwise. The worst part is that we were burglarized. They stole my bag, my moms bag and my husbands cologne. There are no cameras on the house. I understand not having interior cameras for privacy, but there is no reason there should not be exterior cameras. It took hours to hear back from management because they were dealing with a more important issue of a pipe burst in another house. It really put a damper on our trip and we felt uncomfortable the rest of our stay. Bottom line, beware of your surroundings

Gorgeous and spacious home!

We absolutely loved staying at this home. It is right on the beach with its own private beach access. The house is very clean, perfect amount of space for a big group, and we loved the layout. It is about a 5-10 minute walk to the Main Street with bars and restaurants. There is also a 24/7 market 2 blocks away. The beach is super clean and very peaceful. I absolutely recommend this house to anyone staying in Folly Beach. We would love to come back again in the future.

Beautiful Home!

The home of as wonderful and comfortable for a weekend away at the beach. We greatly enjoyed the open space and ocean views. The home is comfortable for a group trip. Having 3 full baths is a plus! We did however arrive at the check in time and the house was not ready. It hadn’t been cleaned, the beds were not made the dishwasher was running… just be aware!
