About this property

Rates lowered for Aug & September 2025! ONLY 200 STEPS TO THE BEACH!

Rest, relax and refresh at our newly renovated home located at 920 East Ashley (AKA “Sandy Bottoms”), where you can "get away from it all" and take everyone with you!

This is a spacious vacation home, which is a rare find at Folly. You can have the best of both worlds! This home offers ample space to accommodate large gatherings but is cozy enough for those who wish to capture some quiet time.

Our vacation home is only 200 steps to the beach and 9 short blocks to Center street.

Whether you prefer relaxing at the beach, surfing at "The Washout" (which is just five blocks away), or are drawn to the hustle and bustle of Center Street, at days end, you can retire to the peace and tranquility of your vacation oasis. Our home has a generously sized great room with a large flat-screen SMART TV, 5 ample sized bedrooms with new queen-sized memory foam mattresses with all new fresh bedding (May 2020). Our home also has 4 full bathrooms.

Our lower level is a dedicated 1300 SQF game room, 50 inch SMART TV, Poker table, Ping pong table, Air hockey, Foosball and a Kitchenette with the 4th full bathroom on this floor.

If the weather doesn’t cooperate….no worries…you’ll still have fun hanging out on our updated, 700-square foot, fan cooled veranda. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee or evening glass of wine on one of the two wooden decks that overlook a beautifully landscaped yard. On-site parking areas provide convenient parking for at least 5 vehicles.

Great location, just a couple of hundred feet from the beach.

This place is not fancy, but is fantastically located near the 10th East beach entrance and has 5 bedrooms that can fit a lot of people--perfect for our family reunion.

Great Place

This was a wonderful place to stay for our large group of friends on Folly Beach. Close to the water, walking distance to downtown, and a nice clean and organized space. Great communication throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend if you have the opportunity to book this place not hesitate.

Family time

Our family came to Charleston for a wedding. We loved the location! It was close enough to restaurants to ride bikes and we didn’t have to deal with the crowds. The house was just a short walk to the beach and there also were not as many people there. The house worked great for the amount of people we had.

Stay at Sandy Bottoms

The house is as described. We were in the area for our daughter's wedding and enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and we had plenty of room for the 10 adults, 2 kids and a toddler that were there on and off during pur stay. It is very close to the beach and we had fun looking for shells and playing in the waves. The kids loved playing in the screened in porch. We would definitlely stay again!

Amazing place highly recommend for so many reasons

This home was absolutely perfect. It offered plenty of space, was beautifully maintained, and created the ideal setting for a memorable stay. From the moment we considered booking, the owners were responsive, helpful, and attentive providing peace of mind well before our arrival and continuing throughout our vacation.The location was unbeatable, with the beach literally just across the street. Even my elderly, disabled father was able to comfortably walk over and join us for beach time. The screened-in porch, complete with ceiling fans, allowed us to relax outdoors without worrying about bugs, and the spacious yard was perfect for lawn games and socializing without ever feeling crowded.Parking was another standout feature ample on-site space was especially appreciated. Inside, the large dining table served as a great hub for meals and family game nights. The bedrooms were generously sized, and most beds felt new and very comfortable. The multiple refrigerator/freezer units throughout the house were an unexpected and much-appreciated convenience. I also loved the thoughtful touches there was a wide selection of games for all age groups already at the house. And the outdoor shower made post-beach clean-up a breeze before heading indoors.I could go on about how ideal this home was for our family. It truly made for a perfect vacation, and the owners went out of their way to make sure we felt well every step of the way. A 10/10 experience. I highly recommended!

Playhouse was Family vacay Perfection

Our son was married on Folly Beach. The Playhouse was the perfect set up with many bedrooms and tons of common space including a lower level that was used for family games! The location was very close to the beautiful beach. We grilled out on the lower level and there was ample parking for our family. The host was very chill and easy to get a hold of. The home had a ton of space and was very clean. The location was PRIME for a beach vacay. Close to shops, restaurants and the beach. Well priced and I would definitely recommend for a family friendly trip to Folly.

About the host

Hosted by Tim Barill

Host profile image
When we first vacationed in Folly Beach, we fell in love. We are a part of a large family from Michigan and this has been a dream of ours to own a vacation home on this beautiful island. We put a great deal of TLC into renovating this home so families can have a place to gather, slow down and reconnect.
Our family would personally like to invite you to share our home and fall in love with Folly Beach the way we did many years ago.

Why they chose this property

This property gives you all that you need; plenty of space to stretch out in the house and a .25 acre lot. We love the tranquility of the property, but are close to the hustle and bustle of the beach town atmosphere.
You are only 200 steps to the beach and 9 blocks to Center Street, where you can eat, shop and visit the acclaimed Bert's Market! (Open 24/7/365)

What makes this property unique

*Entire lower level, 1300 sqf. game room. Great for evening entertainment, a break from the sun, or those unexpected rainy days

*Our house features a (3) fan cooled screened porch on the front of the house to relax and an upper level deck in the back. It also has a covered and paved patio on the lower level.

*There is a fully-stocked kitchen, with all new appliances.

*All 7 queen sized beds feature new, memory foam mattresses, bedding and pillows.
