About this property

Seaside Retreat, Steps to the Beach, Pet Friendly, Huge Porch

Come enjoy this newly renovated beautiful two bedroom retreat. This third row home has all the amenities you'll need to enjoy all that Folly Beach and Charleston have to offer.

More details about the house: The beach is just 500 feet away, so close you can hear the surf in the evenings from the spacious screened porch. Bert's convenience store is just two blocks away for last minute supplies. If you want to eat in occasionally, you'll love our fully stocked kitchen. We also have a gas grill for you to use. If you prefer, Center Street is only four blocks away and downtown Charleston is just 20 minutes away. Both will provide all the dining, shopping and night life you'll need on your vacation.

The entire upstairs unit is yours. The bottom unit of the duplex is mostly used for storage although the owners do occasionally spend time there when work and real life permit.

I personally manage this house for the owners. I manage two other properties on Folly, one of which I own. Although I am not the owner of this house, I do take pride in treating it just like I do my own. I will be available any time I'm needed throughout the reservation process and during your stay.

This is our second stay here. It is perfect for us. It is clean, well maintained and central to everything. You can walk to town and the beach easily. The owner is quick to respond to any questions. I highly recommend this place.

Last minute Folly getaway

The house was clean and well stocked. Great location to the beach and the town! Love that is pet friendly and that it has a fenced in yard! We enjoyed our stay and would rent this one again.

Great Getaway

Great place all around. House was clean and organized, the location was just a 15 minute walk to the heart of Folly (and 2 minutes to the beach), and the check-in process was super easy. Would absolutely stay here again!

Nice location and ample space

We enjoyed our first trip to Folly Beach area and were very appreciative of the pet accommodations and responsiveness of the property manager. The space is bright and roomy and the screened porch is wonderful. We did not feel the property was ready to be rented; perhaps because we were early in the season, but it seemed there should have been a more careful preparation/checklist in advance. Grill was filthy, stove was old and not working properly, shower curtain had mold and numerous kitchen items were dirty and had to be cleaned before using. The yard has lots of "junk" lying around and just was not presentable as a beach retreat. For the total expense over 4k, this was not good.

Great dog-friendly beach stay!

House is great for a family and their fur companion. Large comfortable open living space with 2 bedrooms was plenty of room for our family of 4 and our dog. Very close to the beach with a nice mostly fenced yard and great beach extras.

The apt. Is very comfortable and location excellent. The only downside was the cable reception which I don’t think is the usual.

Back again!

We have stayed at this property many times now and love it every time. A great location close to the beach and close enough to downtown to walk but not so close that it keeps you up at night. The amenities are just what we need and we enjoy hanging out on the enclosed porch. We love coming to Folly and plan to again next year!

A very sweet retreat

I have been coming to Folly for decades and this is just the type of place I love to stay. It is clean, comfortable, bright, and so close to the beach. Most days and eves were spent on the porch, the kitchen had all I needed to cook and it just felt so lovely and spacious and airy. The light coming in through the branches in the morning on the porch was heavenly! It felt like great value for what you receive. The host was responsive and kind. A great casual spot to unwind!

Southern comfort!

This is a very nice place that is in walking distance of the beach as well as shopping and restaurants. Kevin was quick to answer questions and I could tell he wanted us to have the best experience possible,,,and we did. You can even see the ocean from the relaxing big porch if you look through the trees and between the houses. Huge parking area in the back of the house. All the comforts of home, even a few treats welcomed us! Thanks for letting us stay and we hope to return!

Great location!

The property was exactly as listed. Kevin was EXTREMELY helpful! Kevin gives you his cell number and responds very timely. At the last minute I realized we couldn’t fit all our beach chairs in the car so I texted to see if there were any at the house. Kevin told me not to worry and when we arrived there were 3 beach chairs waiting! The house is a quick walk to the beach and we walked to town at night for supper ( nice plus because parking can be $10-30 near Center Street). This is a duplex so there are steps so if stairs are an issue that would be the only drawback for this house, luckily that’s not an issue for us. Wish we could have stayed longer!
