We had a little difficulty finding the house late, late at night in the dark but we found it! It's on the corner of E Erie Ave & 2nd E St. The house was great & just like the pictures. We loved the screened in porch & spent our time in there. Perfect walking distance from every place. The beach is beautiful!

The house is wonderful, super close to beach, shops and restaurants. Supplied with beach items for adults and kids. We enjoyed the boogie boards and beach cart. Also, it was cleaned spotless and the kitchen is great for all your needs. I would definitely rent again. Only down side is it's not the quietest spot. Great house and great host though!

Wonderful host - house described accurately. Location is spot on and parking is plentiful. It was just me and my husband, which allowed for plenty of space for the two of us. Weather was perfect, although that wasn't part of the rental agreement :) Thanks for making our beach vacay another wonderful trip to Folly!

We absolutely loved our stay! The house is exactly as described, yet even better in person. It was thoughtfully furnished and decorated, and absolutely immaculate. The bonus of having beach towels, chairs, and a wagon available for our use was a huge plus to us as we flew in from the DC region and wouldn't have been able to bring beach gear. The five-minute walk to the beach was a piece of cake, with the added perk of getting to walk right past Chico Feo and Bert's. Ernie was super fast to answer any questions we had. We wouldn't hesitate to rent this "gem" again!

What a great place! It was everything it was advertised to be and more. The location is perfect and it’s super easy to get to the beach. There is every thing you could possibly need in the kitchen, washer and dryer, shady screened in porch, beach chairs and toys— even a wagon! And it’s right by Bert’s market and Chico Feo— YUM!

You can't get a better Folly Beach vacation house! The location can't be beat - three short blocks to the beach and one block from Center Street restaurants and shops. The newly renovated house was sparkling clean and has all the amenities you could ask for. The screened-in porch was an incredible bonus; we were out there day and night. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were great. The host has even provided a beach cart and beach chairs and a beach umbrella for your use! All in all, it was the best beach vacation property we have stayed in - and we've stayed in a lot of places! I'll definitely be back!

About the host

Hosted by Ernie Banis

Host profile image

Ernie Banis is a Charleston native who has spent most of his life enjoying the beauty of Charleston and its barrier islands. A local residential realtor and avid surfer who first learned the sport on the waves of Folly forty years ago, 'I believe the cozy comfort I've incorporated in this home is perfect for the full Folly experience.' While this home is new to the vacation rental market, I've personally been involved in vacation rentals for years. Having managed family beach rentals at nearby Kiawah Island has given me a unique perspective on what makes for a fun and relaxing island getaway!

Why they chose this property

In real estate the rule is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. I really believe my home's location, being close to both the beach and the nightlife, is an awesome spot.

What makes this property unique

Folly is a wonderful place to relax and unwind. The minute I cross the bridge all my worries are left on the mainland! I've always found it to be a really good time! Both my daughter and now my grandkids have experienced their first 'toes in the sand' moment on the beach at Folly.
