About this property

STAY AT THE BOATHOUSE

This is the exceptional “escape from it all” This is the perfect Folly Beach vacation location that you have been looking for!

Folly Beach has always been a part of coastal South Carolina’s history and charm. Nestled between the Folly River and the Atlantic Ocean, just 11 miles from downtown Charleston, the barrier island of Folly Beach offers you the best of both worlds.

Southern Living has called Folly Beach “ the perfect beach town” Laid –back and casual, Folly Beach is a real American beach town that’s home for both locals and visitors. Over 6 miles of beaches, and has the second longest fishing pier on the Atlantic Ocean. Located at the center of town the pier which extends 1,045 ft into the ocean, hosts fishing tournaments and if you want to fish, you can rent everything you need at the shop on the pier. You can eat lunch or dinner at the restaurant (Pier 101) located on the Folly Beach Pier.

Your accommodations at “The Boat House” are located 50ft from the best beach walk on Folly Beach. There are no steps on the beach walk-making it easy to take all your beach toys, chairs and umbrellas.

You can walk everywhere or rent a golf cart. Take the golf cart to the Charleston County Park at the east end of the island. Then it is a short walk to one of the most pristine beaches on the east coast with views of the Historic Morris Island Lighthouse.
Spend an evening out in historic downtown Charleston only 11 miles from Folly Beach. Walk and visit the shops and dine in some of the best restaurants in the World.

Go to the seashore in the morning come back and clean off in the hot and cold outdoor shower for lunch or just a break from the sun, and then a nap on the private outdoor porch-enjoying the fresh outdoor breezes among the oak trees that surround the decks.


“The Boathouse” is a short 3 block walk to the Downtown and fishing pier. Walk the town with its night action in the shops, bars, restaurants, and ample live music. Enjoy the shopping, coffee shops, surf shops, and dining at the local favorites like the Lost Dog Café, Taco Boy, Ritas, The Tides, Loggerhead, and Pier 101.

You will enter your accommodations up to a private porch that wraps around the entire floor. The living area is very spacious and includes the dining, kitchen, and living room. The area is totally enclosed with 10 windows and 2 sets of French doors, to allow the maximum of light and sea air. The kitchen is totally equipped with everything you will need to cook a great meal. The living area opens up to a private side porch totally surrounded by oak trees. Relaxing here is like being in an open green house with the sea breezes and the ocean roaring.

The master bedroom has one king bed and a single bed. The bathroom has a shower and corian top vanity. High grade sheets, towels and linens are provided.

Excellent for your beach soul!

We are from LA and loved this vacation! The beach house feels like you are staying in a treehouse with beautiful outdoor verandas! Well stocked kitchen, great air conditioning and very homey. Jeffrey was immediately helpful when we had questions about our coffee pot. We highly recommend this airy, comfortable house while visiting the colorful Folly Beach!

Lovely private space in the trees

We had a wonderful time at “the boat house”. Gorgeous wrap around porch surrounded by trees and vines..very private. Beach access right across the street was very convenient (although it was closed toward the end of our stay due to beach conservation construction). Street was busy at times but access to quiet street from the back of property for walking to restaurants, shops, etc. Hosts were very nice and responsive. Great spot!

Best place we’ve stayed!

This is a wonderful cottage. It’s part of a larger home but completely private. The king bed is very comfortable and the bedroom is quiet. Location is perfect for walking to the beach or a short 20min drive to Charleston. The owners provide 2 beach chairs and an umbrella. There is a space to park a car. The owners were responsive, friendly and helpful. I truly didn’t want to leave.

Fantastic property!!

The house was as listed and more. The hosts were a wonderful couple that were absolutely a pleasure to meet. The property is a VERY short walk to the beach and a comfortable easy walk right into the heart of town with all the shops and restaurants you could need! It was clean and very nice! The huge porch with multiple seating areas was my favorite part. We’re already talking about when to book it again! Thanks very much for a fantastic stay!!

Boathouse stay

We enjoyed the Boathouse. We stayed on the second floor with a great wrap around porch. Close to the beach with access to a walkway directly across the road from the driveway. Very clean, open and airy. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful

A lovely, impeccably clean house just across the street from the beach and a short walk to town. We particularly enjoyed the huge deck with its own seating area. We personally liked not having unused food items from earlier guests because we find it unappealing. BTW, if you get tired of the beach Charleston is a beautiful city.

A getaway to a new place

First time ever to Folly Beach and we will def be back! The property is beautiful and comfy and is impressively stocked if you want to cook/eat in. Private! But only steps from the beach. Ashley is a tiny 2 laner, not alot of traffic so its quiet and safe. We walked everywhere in town, so many bars and restaurants within a short distance. Jeffrey was very kind and knowledgable about the area and offered some suggestions for dinner nearby. Bed and sofa are comfy and the bathroom/walk in shower is so nice! Couldn't get enough of the wraparound porch either. Very quiet and secluded even tho its so close to everything. Hope to see you again!!

Perfect weekend getaway!

My sisters and I did a short little weekend getaway in folly beach. This rental property was the perfect place for us! It was a 7 minute walk to the town and a super short walk over to the beach. Jeff was an amazing host and whenever we had a question he responded to our message within a minute or two. He even brought over an extra beach chair for our stay. The only thing we wished we had were extra blankets for when you’re just lounging on the couch. Other than that, this place was simply perfect and the wrap around porch with the vines and area to sit was amazing!! We would definitely come back and stay here again.

Perfect location on Folly

We had the best time at The Boathouse while visiting Folly Beach. The beach access was very convenient and the pictures of the property do not do it Justice. We loved sitting on the porch each morning for coffee and again in the evening enjoying the landscape under the string lights. It’s an easy walk to all of the restaurants downtown, but being a couple of blocks from the pier offered a less crowded beach experience. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful place!

We spent 10 wonderful days in this appartement. The location cant be beat, its right in front of the beach access. The apartment is cute and comfortable. The linens are fine and the towels are white and fluffy. The kitchen has everything you need, we cooked almost all our meals. Our host was discreet but always available when we needed something. He literally answered within 30 seconds. We would return here happily.

Perfect Place

We immediately fell in love with the wrap around porch covered in jasmine! It was the perfect place for morning coffee and wine in the evening when the strings of Edison lights glow. The windows made us feel like we were in the trees. The beach is across the street and restaurants/shops are 3 blocks away. We slept like babies. Our host, Jeffrey, was a call/text away. Highly recommend!

A nice place and a few tips…

The property is as described. Porch is lovely and the home across from beach and walking distance to town. The owners were very nice and dealt with missing biggie boards and a broken umbrella quickly. They do not provide beach towels and you will not find any extras in the kitchen (oil, sugar, foil, bug spray, etc) like some places. Be prepared to bring all these items with you. The main drawback for us was noise as the owners live upstairs and you can hear a lot of noise from above. The garage is also right below the bedroom. So it was hard to sleep in. If you are an early riser 7:30 or earlier it wouldn’t be an issue but if you like to sleep in on your vacation this may not be the place for you.

Great location, perfect porch

This was such a pretty space with bright vibrant colors and comfy furniture. We ate breakfast on the wrap around porch each morning. The walk to the beach is so short it is easy to go back and forth throughout the day which was great. Easy walk to restaurants and the hosts are lovely. Thanks for a great stay!
