CASA AL MARE
Your Coastal Family Retreat Awaits!

Nestled on a serene street just one block from the beach and four blocks from vibrant Center Street—brimming with restaurants, cafés, and shops—Casa Al Mare is the ultimate private escape for your family vacation. This spacious, beautifully appointed home offers everything you need for a memorable seaside getaway.

Outdoor Bliss
Each room flows seamlessly onto its share of 1,000 square feet of outdoor space, inviting you to breathe in the salty air, bask in the ocean’s soft roar, or relax to the tranquil whispers of the tidal creek out back.

Relax on the expansive two-story porch, grill on the large natural gas BBQ, or sway lazily on the crib-sized porch swing. With ample seating, chaise lounges, and a fenced-in backyard, it’s perfect for all ages, including your furry friends.

Inviting Interiors
The heart of the home is an open-concept living area, featuring stylish furnishings, a dramatic two-story ceiling, and plenty of natural light—ideal for gathering with loved ones. The gourmet kitchen comes fully equipped with a 4-slice toaster, blender, Crock-Pot, 10-cup coffee maker with K-cup compatibility, coffee grinder, electric kettle, French press, and hand mixer. You’ll also find K-cups, coffee, tea, sugar, spices, olive oil, vinegar, condiments, utensils, and all the cookware a chef could desire.

Restful Retreats
The first-floor master suite boasts a king-sized bed, en-suite bathroom, and direct access to a sprawling deck—perfect for sunbathing or stargazing. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer two queen beds, two full beds, and two full bathrooms, each with its own outdoor access. Every space is designed for comfort and convenience.

Beach-Ready Amenities
We’ve got you covered with beach towels, chairs, a beach cart, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, and an outdoor shower to rinse off after a sun-soaked day. For fun at home, enjoy cornhole, a giant Connect-4, board games, and a high-speed 400 Mbps internet connection. Five Smart LED TVs come loaded with Xfinity Stream, Prime Video, Netflix, Peacock, Apple TV, Paramount+, and HBO Max.

AMAZING property and experience!

This was the second time in consecutive years I’ve stayed at this property, and both times it was an incredible experience. The owner is very friendly, and the property is always immaculate. Fantastic location close to downtown and steps from the beach. I can’t wait to go back next year!

This is our second stay at this property—by far the best rental we have ever had. Perfect location (near the beach, backing up onto marsh area for great birdwatching, quiet neighbors) perfect hosts (really, there was not a thing that they hadn’t thought of). Highly, highly recommend.

Loved the screened in porch!

This is a perfect house for a family vacation in a great location in Folly. It's a short walk to the beach and 1/2 mile to town. The house itself was super clean and had great signage letting us know where things were located. We especially loved the comfortable screened in porch in the trees - so relaxing!

Perfect Beach Getaway

We have stayed at many properties over the years and this one by far was one of the very best. The location can’t be beat — a very short walk to the beach and convenient to shops and restaurants. The house itself is fantastic — tastefully decorated, extremely well appointed with all you could need while away (high chair, crib, beach gear, toiletries, access to streaming services, you name it) and absolutely loved all of the outdoor spaces. We definitely plan to return! Thank you for having us!

Paradise on Folly Beach

Immaculate, spacious, well-appointed, and perfect. So close to the beach that you can see it out the kitchen window. We have been coming to Folly Beach for years and this is undoubtedly the best property we have encountered. A huge, secluded screened-in porch for your meals and family time and a spacious indoor living area, coupled with a lovely outdoor space less than a block from the beach make this the perfect getaway. Wonderfully clean and welcoming at first arrival.

Folly Beach Gem

You just can't go wrong renting this property. From cleanliness, location, quietness, so well equipped inside as well as for beach and bike use. Awesome screened in porch with no one behind you, front and rear decks and great family room. Comfortable beds! Just a few blocks to downtown Folly Beach and the ocean. Owners are great in responsiveness and in providing info/assistance. Would absolutely rent this property again.

This is a fabulous house in a terrific location!!! The inside is lovely - very comfortable and inviting. The screened-in porch and decks make enjoying the outdoors easy too, and the fenced in yard is great for those vacationing with a dog. It is a very clean and well maintained property, with lots of thoughtful amenities. George and Aylin are exceptional hosts, so easy to work with, and they really go the extra mile to make sure every detail is taken care of for their guests!! Highly recommend!!!

Amazing house, will book again!

This house was even better than advertised! The property was extremely clean and had all of the necessities and then some. Everything was labeled so you knew exactly where to find anything you need. Having the beach toys was an added bonus. Location is amazing. The house is 1 easy block from beach access and a short 10 minute walk to the restaurants and shops. We rented a golf cart and it was even easier to get all the places we needed around Folly. The house worked great for our family and we will certainly want to rent the same property again.

Lovely Beach Rental

This home was the perfect beach getaway! It was definitely one of the nicest vacation rentals we have ever had. The home was super well organized and came with a ton of different amenities, making our own travel much easier! The owners have done an amazing job of thinking through everything a traveling family could possibly need. The house was also in a great location - just a short 3 minute walk to the beach and a quick 10 minute walk to the shops/restaurants. The owners were super responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay as smooth as possible. They even offered to set up a full size crib for us before arrival! We rented the golf cart from the owners and loved the convenience it provided us in getting around the island We would definitely stay here again!!

Rated BEST vacation EVER!

Our grandson’s, ages 7 and 4, rated our vacation as BEST vacation EVER! All of the adults confirmed it was a fabulous stay in Folly Beach, and much of the reason was because of staying at George and Aylin’s beach house! The house provided everything we needed, and more. All the little extras went above and beyond most of the other places we have rented from in the past. There were many pluses, but here are just a few that made our week truly fabulous. Location to the beach! This was vital for our family because of the grandchildren. Taking them, and all their stuff was a breeze, and if anyone had to get back to the house quickly, it was one short block away. Beach toys, boogie boards, umbrellas, beach chairs, all available for our use! No extra costs having to rent, or purchase these items! We flew from Dallas, so not having to worry about getting all that stuff once we arrived was awesome. Bicycles, both for adults, and children. ( including locks, and helmets! ) The golf cart we were able to rent for the week. Screened in porch, with a nice large table to enjoy meals, and game playing. Enough space, and comfort for all 6 of the adults, and 2 very active grandsons! I could go on and on, but will finish this review by saying we booked for next year, before we even headed back home.
