Summary:

The Space:
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath upper-level unit is full of original Folly Beach charm. The house was built in the 1930s, but has recently been completely renovated to add all of the modern conveniences while at the same time restoring the classic look of a Folly Beach cottage to each unit.

The home is ideally located for visitors who want to walk to all of the local attractions. The beach, the pier, and BLU, the only ocean front restaurant and bar in the Charleston area, are within easy walking distance (2 blocks). Center Street's restaurants and shops are just a block away. Downtown Charleston, with its historic architecture, carriage rides, museums, and fine dinning is less than 15 minutes away as well.

The home itself is just as ideal as its location. Visitors can lounge on one of two wonderful porches. The shady front porch runs the length of the house and gets a fabulous beach breeze. It is a perfect spot to catch up on your beach reading or to watch the world go by; you can even catch a glimpse of the ocean. The back porch, a sunny spot outfitted with a table and chairs, is a perfect spot to soak up some sun, have lunch, or watch the sunset.

From the front porch, step into the main living area which includes the living room and dinning room. The home's hardwood floors, original wood paneling, architectural details, and eight large windows give this space a bright, classic beach cottage look.

There are three lovely bedrooms in the home. The king bedroom has a crisp, classic decor and is equipped with a flat screen TV. The adjacent bedroom has two twin beds and a decor that is fun and festive. These two rooms share a stylish bathroom that boasts a claw-foot tub. The queen bedroom has its own private bath and french doors opening onto the back porch.

The kitchen is bright, spacious, and includes gorgeous granite counter-tops and all of the amenities. The cooks in your party will appreciate the attention to detail and will be able to whip up a fantastic dinning experience with ease. Every gadget and accessory has been provided, so don't worry about bringing your micro-zester from home!

Additionally, the home has such conveniences as a washer and dryer and free WiFi.

We have a no-smoking and a no-pet policy. We rent by the week in the summer.

Very nice property in a great location. Private with only a short walking distance to the beach and Center Street. Weather was prefect for sitting on the front porch. The host Tara has been a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely consider this property for our next Folly trip.

Great family apartment in Folly Beach

Perfect apartment for our family. It was spotless & had all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Loved the floor plan, it worked perfectly for a toddler who went to bed earlier than adults! Really close to beach as the listing said.

Quiet Retreat but Still Close to the Action

This authentic beach getaway is located within two blocks from the beach and one block of Center St where all the restaurants, stores and action are located. Yet, when you return “home” it is quiet, peaceful and private.

Absolutely perfect!

We had an amazing time staying at this property for an extra-long weekend. This was probably the cleanest vacation rental I’ve ever stayed at, and you couldn’t ask for a better location and I could live on that porch full-time! It’s in the middle of everything but somehow most noise stayed out. One thing to be aware of- if you have a larger vehicle, you’ll have to park on the street, but the owner is good about communicating that beforehand.

Comfortable, clean and lovely house close to everything

We loved staying here, very clean and loved the modern updates while the more historic features including gorgeous hardwoods. Two porches including one very large one, perfect for taking in all of the sights and sounds of Folly. The house is close to everything and you can hear the sounds of live music and hustle and bustle of Folly but it's surrounded by many trees which gives it a quieter feel. Really loved this place!

Relaxing Spring Break getaway at the SC Shores

Wonderful property located just a few blocks from the beach. Easily walkable. Newly updated and spacious three bedroom getaway - was great for our family of four. Everyone had their own space and lots of gathering space for movie watching and games. Tara made check-in/out so easy. Everything was as listed and in working condition. Wifi was great too with two parents working and two tweens wanting to remain connected! Fell in love with Folly Beach - everything is walkable. Talk a walk out to the lighthouse at the end of the island - very special. Thank you for a wonderful and relaxing stay!

Lovely home steps away from Folly Beach

My three 20-something kids and I had a wonderful time here! Everything was immaculate and beautifully decorated (Pottery Barn furniture and decor, I believe), and we had everything we needed for the week we were here. Loved the washer and dryer as well as the central air (naturally a must for August!), though we thoroughly enjoyed eating our breakfasts and reading after dinner on the front porch. It was great to cool off on the beach while still only 20 minutes or so from downtown historic Charleston, where we went nearly every day after or before the beach! Will definitely come back!

Perfect Location!

The home was clean and bright! The decor was coastal without being tacky. We loved the hardwood floors. They gave the home an elegant feel and they were a blessing for our allergies. This home is about as perfect of a location as you can ask for. Getting to the beach was easy...just a straight path about two blocks from the house. Bringing a beach buggy makes it effortless. We like to eat our meals at the local restaurants and many are just a block away. Yet it didn't feel noisy at the house. Highly recommend this rental!

All good

Like location, stairs were a bit of issue, needs more lighting at feet. Also in small bath didn’t like shower / bath, was tough for someone older with it being hard to enter and if someone slipped nothing to hold to. Could be a safety issue. Overall enjoyed the space and was surprised to how quite it was. Liked that all switches we labeled.
