Spring Break

Great location at the quiet end of Folly Beach. You can't get any closer to the beach without being in the water. The house had starters for all paper products and a fully stocked kitchen for cooking. The floor length family room windows kept the beach feel alive on our 1 rainy day.

Best Folly Vacay Ever!

We are locals from the Charleston area and have gone on our family staycation to Folly for the past 6-7 years and this was our favorite house we have ever had. The pictures don't do it justice. We loved how open the kitchen/living space was with massive windows that provided a great view. The outside deck was also amazing! Almost didn't want to go sit down on the beach because the deck was so close! We will be back next year!

Beautiful stay near Folly Beach

When my gf and I walked into this property we were just blown away by the view of the beach and ocean. We literally sat there for the first day just watching the waves and hearing the ocean. It was very peaceful. It’s a great location with a short ride to down town Folly and Charleston. We were even invited to book a private boat tour by the owners! It was an amazing trip. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
