Gorgeous Sunsets! Private, Marsh-front Folly Home. 60 second walk to the beach.
Our home is perfect for vacations with family or friends. Over the last 12 months we have installed new floors, new carpets, new kitchen countertops, a new dining room table, all new exterior decking and more!
Our home is a private 3 bedroom, 3 bath home, sleeps up to 10. Hidden away amongst the trees on a marsh-front lot with crabbing/kayaking dock, Lowcountry Folly boasts ocean views from the upper screen porch and easy beach access across the street. Close by you can find outstanding surfing at the Washout, and Charleston is a short drive away.
There are dual master suites, one with a king bed, sitting area, it's own TV and another with a queen bed and en suite bathroom. The 3rd BR has 2 sets of bunk beds (sleeps 4) and is adjacent to a large bathroom w/ shower and tub: perfect for families or a girls/guys weekend away. There's also a super-comfy full/queen air sofa-bed in the living room to sleep an additional 1-2 guests. The house has an open floor with a large dining table that easily seats 8-10, and a separate kitchen eating area. Front and back decks provide for outdoor dining and a Weber gas grill sits on the front deck. A screen porch above the rear master BR has incredible 360 views of the ocean, marsh, Morris Island lighthouse, Long Island River and Lighthouse Creek, Charleston Harbor and the most amazing sunsets you've ever seen. Large open back yard with private dock for crabbing, launching your kayak, or just watching the sunset and marsh wildlife.
Numerous amenities, including 3 flat screen HD TVs equipped with local channels, sling, Netflix, 3 Roku remotes, outdoor speakers, and high-speed internet. The house has also been recently re-painted and re-decorated. Fully equipped, completely remodeled kitchen with Bosch dishwasher and microwave, basic spices, and all the cookware you need for a simple breakfast or an all-out low-country boil.
Public beach access is across the street, and the location at Folly's NE end means sparsely populated, lush beaches, and outstanding surfing and surfcasting. We are 3 miles from center street so you’ll be able to fully relax at our quiet home. You're a short walk or bike ride from the NE end of the island and up-close views of the famous Morris Island lighthouse. A short bike ride in the other direction puts you at the restaurants, shops, and bars along Center Street, the Folly Pier, or the iconic 24/7 Bert's Market for some organic vegetables, a bottle of wine, or a growler of one of your favorite microbrews. Downtown Charleston is a short 25 minute drive in the car, making Folly Beach Escape the perfect location for visitors looking to experience a little of bit of everything Charleston and the South Carolina coast have to offer.

First time staying this close to the beach an it was perfect! The house was beautiful and accommodated everyone perfectly. The view out the master to the marsh was beautiful especially at sunset. We will definitely make a trip back in the future.

Michelle, thank you so much for the kind words the view from the back deck and master is definitely what sold us on the house and we’re so happy you got to enjoy it.
We had a wonderful time at this house. Emily was so good at communicating with us and made our stay great. The property is nice but needs a little updating.

Hi Barb,
Glad you enjoyed the location and had a great time. We hope to host you again and appreciate your feedback. We have updated a few things since your visit and continue to pour our heart and soul into this house.
This house worked perfect for our family! Convenient location to beach with everything we needed for our stay. This end of Folly is much nicer and quiet than into town but also an easy ride to get to the hustle and bustle for shopping and eating. Would stay here again the sunsets on the marsh are unbeatable!
Nice home, well stocked kitchen and the house has been nicely remodeled. Easy beach access and a beautiful view from the back deck including the Morris Lighthouse.
We loved the location and the beautiful marsh views
Drinking coffee and watching the sun rise in the crows nest was so peaceful and breathtaking. We loved the fact that we had a yard for the kiddos. Owners were responsive and overall the house was as advertised. We had a great trip and will consider renting this place again.

We’re so happy you enjoyed coffee and got to watch the sun rise in the crows nest Mandy- we love doing the exact same thing. We made many improvements at the house over January and February so come visit us again!
We went for the July 4th week, the house was adorable and fit us and our family comfortably. We felt like we were at home the entire week. The view of the marsh was better than we expected, pictures do not do it justice! It was just a short walk to the beach and it was quiet since were away from the center of town and close to the lighthouse.

Jessie- we are so happy to hear you felt at home and that you enjoyed the proximity to Morris Island Lighthouse. We hope we can host you and your family again in the future.
Overall a great place to stay if you want a relaxing time at the beach. The house is located on the far side of the island which is much less crowded, especially the beach. The house was clean and comfortable. Absolutely no complaints. I would definitely recommend.

We are so happy you enjoyed some solitude at the house. We would love to host you again!
This was the perfect spot for our family (Two sets of grandparents plus us and our toddler). The pictures are accurate and the living room/dining room area is so spacious, perfect for hanging out and having meals! The rooms were all great with their own bathrooms, and we loved the crows nest feature above the primary bedroom :)
It was literally a one minute walk to the beach, which made our visit so convenient and able to come and go as we please. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely! We hope to come back again soon.

Great, comfortable home in perfect location
The house is a remodeled older house with lots of charm and a few minor and fixable issues. The owners are easy to communicate with. The location on the marsh with very short walk to the beach was perfect. We felt relaxed and at home in an affordable house. We had two adult couples but the house would have been great for a family with kids. King, queen, and 4 singles with three bathrooms gave us more than enough room.
The home is beautiful and well-maintained. It was clean and comfortable. I appreciated the basic supplies that were provided to get us started. The shed is full of beach supplies. Check there before you buy anything.
The location allowed easy access to downtown Folly Beach and Charleston area activities. It was so nice to be away from the crowded parts of the beach. We would love to come back here!
We loved this location as it is a bit calmer traffic than closer to town. There were a few details about the house that needed addressing and the owner appreciated the feedback. The view of the marsh? Spectacular! And a fun dock to try crabbing or catch minnows for fishing. Three bathrooms for the three bedrooms were definitely a plus. The open living room was a great chill space whether one was in the kitchen or in front of the TV.

Hi Keith, we really appreciated all of your feedback. So glad you enjoyed the marsh views and 3bed/ 3 bath floorpan. Would be an honor to host you again.
Great week on Folly. The house is located across the street from the beach, easy access. House had plenty of room for the 7 of us adults, 3 bathrooms which was great. The gas grill was great for preparing fresh seafood. Kitchen was setup with everything we needed; even a big pot for a seafood boil. Emily the owner was was very responsive and checked in with me throughout the week. The new deck was great, especially the marsh view in the back. They even had beach gear available for guests to use.
This home is modern and well maintained. The owner is very responsive to questions and quick to address any issues that may pop up. They are ready to accept responsibility and find ways to make your stay a great one. I would have, perhaps, liked to have a few more extra linens available. The decks, front and rear, are very nice and new and the kitchen is excellent and well equipped. The beach access is quite near and the walk is only a couple of minutes. Enjoy!
House is in a great location near the lighthouse/east end of the island. We rented bikes for our teens who rode both the 3 miles to town and the 300 yard ride to the end of the island. The weather was a bit overcast during our stay but the view of sunset is my favorite at Folly and this home has a great perch from which to view it! There is a beach access path just 4 driveways down. We had 4 teens who were able to spread out in the 2 extra bedrooms and mom & dad enjoyed the master. The beds were very comfortable and the roomy living room and kitchen allowed us to all be together comfortably. Highly recommended!
The property was barely a 5 minute walk to the beach, with a beautiful view of the marsh from the crow's nest. It was the perfect size for our group of seven and had all the necessities, even an second fridge. The only reason Despite an issue with the AC, I think 5 stars is appropriate. The Host was VERY responsive and tried to get the issue resolved quickly but due to a late day storm and location of the AC unit, the AC repairman had to come back the next day. There was even a "back-up" unit in the closet we were able to use, again showing the Host was ready to solve an AC issue if it occurred. The only thing I could even complain about is the lack of an ice maker/ice trays, but that's small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. I would recommend this house.
Our family spent one month in this amazing place. The house was just what we needed to unwind and connect with each other. It has everything you need. Every night we enjoyed the sunsets in the crow’s nest or on the back porch. The side deck was perfect for grilling out. And we all loved the backyard and dock in the beautiful marsh. We have little kids so having the beach just 3-5 minutes away was so perfect. We all love to surf and we were not disappointed by the fun waves only steps from our door. Our only complaint was that we didn’t stay longer. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful home with us! We are already planning a time to come back.

Hi Matt,
Thank you so much for your kinds words. We truly appreciated hosting you and your family and hope to host you all again soon.
Perfect for a Family. Casual and Comfortable Beach House
We had a lovely time at this property. The setting was perfectly situated overlooking the marsh and across the street from the beach. The back deck was large and breezy. And the Crow's Nest was a great way to end each day watching the sunset over the marsh.
The entrance, family room, dining room and kitchen are open and plenty spacious for our family of five, and all the windows provided great natural light. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking.
The beds were plenty comfortable. There was an issue with the air conditioning in the master bedroom. It was quickly resolved by the owners when we arrived. They provided a portable air unit that did the job to our satisfaction.
We would definitely stay here again, and may do just that.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the the Lowcountry the first time we visited and have been coming back year after year with family and friends. We love the beautiful beaches, incredible food and wonderfully preserved historic Charleston downtown.
This home was everything we ever dreamed of sharing with our family, friends and guests. A stone's throw from the ocean, amazing sunsets from the crow's nest and a short distance from downtown Charleston.
What makes this property unique
We really love the quiet end of Folly! We also love the ability to walk to the end of the island to gaze at Morris Island Lighthouse.
