About this property
Southern Tides At Folly / On Water / 1 Block to Downtown / Walk To Beach / Pool
Fullly Renovated in 2025 - Welcome to Southern Tides at Folly! Whether a returning guest to SC or if this is your first time, we hope you will consider our well appointed home for your visit to the low-country, we promise you will fall in love. While we have a 2+ car garage and added community parking, you will not need the cars if staying on Folly as our front door is one block or 0.3 miles (less than 5 minute walk) to all the restaurants, coffee shops, bars and shopping on Center Street and just another 0.1 miles (2-3 minutes more) to incredible Folly Beach. Whether coming down to Folly Beach or planning to visit historic Charleston (12 miles away) and its many attractions (or both), Southern Tides is the perfect year round place for you to experience all that this incredible area has to offer.
From the kitchen, family room, screened porch, or master bedroom and master bedroom deck, watch the fishing boats coming/going, the sail boats rocking, or paddle boarders as they navigate the beautiful Folly River and marsh wildlife. The home is a 3 bedroom (king, queen, & twin over twin and twin over full bunks) / 3 full bathroom townhouse which sleeps up to 8 comfortably. The home has hardwood floors throughout and is decorated in a cozy beach theme. You will enjoy the water views from the comfortable family room and open concept living, kitchen, and dining area. The kitchen is well appointed with everything you will need to cook or entertain (including a Keurig which we always wish we had when we visit VRBO rentals). Enjoy morning coffee and sunrise or evening on the screened in porch with dining set and seating for 6. We also provide a game basket, pack & play which can be used in lieu of a crib, etc.
There is a also a rear outdoor patio with an outdoor shower to rinse off after a day at the beach. In the garage you will find beach chairs, a cart/dolly, body boards, skim boards, and beach toys for your personal use and enjoyment. We provide 4 beach cruiser type bikes so you can explore the island, or go downtown for a shaved ice, watch a sunset at Mariners Cays, watch the surfers at the Washout, or down to see the Morris Island Lighthouse.
Your stay will also include access to our community swimming pool (Seasonal / which overlooks the marsh and Folly River) as well as the community boat dock. The pool and dock are less than 50-feet from our front door. Have a drink out under the covered dock and watch some of the most amazing sunsets, dolphins swimming up the river, or maybe try your hand at fishing, crabbing or launch your personal kayaks or paddle boards directly off the dock.
If you have been to Folly before, welcome home. If not, welcome and be ready to relax. Folly Beach (also referred to as "The Edge of America" sits on a small 5-mile long barrier island just a short 15-20 minute drive outside of historic Charleston, SC. Folly is an eclectic surf beach with a laid-back vibe and is great for just a couples getaway, girls retreat, or a family-vacation. It is also known as the the best surf beach in all of SC, while still having a shallow drop off of the sand into the water making it great for the young kids to wade and play. Try you hand at surfing (several surf schools), kite surfing, or just stroll the beach and look for shells. The beach is wide (with exception of king-high tides sometimes) and the sand is soft from the beach all the way into the water. Downtown Folly offers an array of shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, bars, live music venues, etc.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Eric & Catherine Amhaus

Eric’s first experience with Charleston was in the summer of 1993 when he reported to The Citadel as a freshmen (knob as they are called) to pursue a degree in Civil Engineering. Having originally grown up in the northeast, Eric grew up surfing the eastern shore. He bought a surf board at McKevlin’s surf shop here in Folly and surfed the “wash-out” at the east end of the island during his cadet years. After 4 years at The Citadel and spending summers docking boats at the Charleston City Marina, Eric moved to Colorado where he met Catherine. We were married at the Citadel chapel in 2001. While it was Catherine's first time in Charleston, she fell in love immediately and our dream to have a 2nd home here began. We had continued to visit Charleston and Folly Beach at least once per year for reunion’s, romantic weekends, or family vacations. During all those years, we narrowed our search down to Folly Beach for the local and laid-back and undeveloped vibe of both the beach, but also the town and people.
Why they chose this property
We had always said that Charleston was just like an old pair of jeans for us – “it just fits”! In 2017, our 15+ year dream became a reality when we purchased Southern Tides at 116 W. 2nd Street here in Folly Beach on the “Edge of America”. We hope you will consider our home and find Folly Beach and the surrounding Charleston area as welcoming as we have!
What makes this property unique
Southern Tides has it all! Incredible low country water views of sunrises and sunsets, marsh views, community pool, dock, close walking distance to downtown and beach, and a laid-back non-commercialized/local vibe. The beach is beautiful and great for both families as well as teenagers and older kids looking to surf, boogie board, skim board, play volleyball, etc.
