Prickly Pear | Private Pool & Seasonal Spa | 2 Blocks to Beach and Walk to Center Street | Sleeps 12

Welcome to The Prickly Pear, a beautifully renovated five-bedroom, four-bathroom Folly Beach home accommodating up to 12 guests. Enjoy a private inground pool and seasonal heated spa surrounded by tranquil landscaping and trees, along with plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the whole family.

The home blends modern design and sun-filled interiors with Folly Beach's relaxed atmosphere. Hardwood floors, stainless-steel appliances, Smart TVs, and comfortable living and entertainment areas make it easy to gather and unwind throughout your stay.
Located in a quiet section of the island, The Prickly Pear is only a short and picturesque two-block walk along a small path to the 3rd Street beach access, which offers public restrooms and outdoor showers. Center Street's restaurants, shops, and nightlife are just over two blocks away.
The living room and sunroom both include Smart TVs and ceiling fans, providing additional space for guests to relax and spread out. The fully equipped kitchen and outdoor propane grill make meals at home convenient, while the private outdoor shower is ideal after a day at the beach.
With two king suites upstairs, a queen bedroom downstairs, and bunk rooms on both levels, the layout works especially well for families and groups traveling together. Two stackable washer-and-dryer sets—one upstairs and one downstairs—provide added convenience for larger groups.

Wonderful house for large family and guests. Pool is super nice! Beds comfortable and downstairs would be perfect for a rainy day! TV in every room. Kitchen cookware is enough for a crowd. Easy walk or golf cart to Center Street and the beach. Away from the noise and people of downtown Folly! Would rent again!

Great Stay!

The house was great - perfectly situated to access downtown and the beach. We used the pool and hot tub everyday and loved all the different sitting areas. Perfect beach house for a large group! The check in process was super seamless and the host was responsive. The only downside is that you have to bring your own toiletries, beach towels and beach gear. This was advertised ahead of time in the house description but it would have been great to have those items available in the house to save on packing.

Great location

We had a wonderful time! Walked to church, brunch, lunch, dinner, ice cream, and shopping during our week. So close to everything. There is a straight shot foot path to the beach that you can sort of see on google maps. Not a bad walk at all, even with going a bit farther to the right to get away from the crowds near the pier. House has plenty of parking. Awesome pool (bring bug spray for mosquitos). Beds very comfy. Kitchen well-stocked (just need more forks). Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for grownup kids, parents and grandparents!

We love Folly and have been coming for multi-generational family vacations for several years. The Prickly Pear was perfect for tips year’s stay. The shared large open living space and kitchen were ideal - everyone had space of their own, but we could all be together at the same time. Lovely! The location is fabulous! We loved being on a quiet street, but just a quick golf cart ride or a short walk to the beach or town. This was the first time we’ve had a pool, and I don’t think we’ll be staying without a pool again! Now that our kids are adults, it was great to be able to “do our own thing,” spending the day at the beach or out and about, and then have everyone gather at the pool in the late afternoons to reconnect and plan the evening together. All in all, the Prickly Pear could not have been better for our family beach week. We’ll be back for sure!

Great location if you don't mind Palmetto bugs

It was our first visit to Folley Beach. Management co. was responsive and addressed our maintenance issues promptly. We were not aware of the Palmetto bug issue. We found live and dead Palmetto bugs (aka roaches). Pest control visited on a few occasions during our stay. Hoping we didn't bring any home. Convenient walk to beach and town. House would have been great except for bug issue.

Very nice place. Great location, walking distance to town and beech, 22 minutes from Charleston. Clean house and great beds. Upstairs shower did not work though and no response when called for assistance (but there was a hurricane passing by). made getting ready tough for a house full of adults, especially for a wedding weekend. Would recommend if upstairs shower gets fixed. From MyOceanRental: Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your patience during the hurricane and we hope to host you again in the future!

Great House and Location

Really enjoyed our stay at Folly Beach in The Prickly Pear. Only blocks away from Center street and house was great. Clean, several sitting areas with TV's, nice kitchen and big master bedroom. We did have a few issues like the ice maker not working, master shower knob was loose and didn't operate the temp properly, and the cornhole board in the description was not at the house. But the shower was fixed within hours. The biggest inconvenience was the ice maker not producing ice. Outside of these issues I would highly recommend the Prickly Pear. From MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review of our home on Folly Beach. We are glad that our home provided a nice setting for your getaway, and apologize for the ice maker and cornhole boards - we are currently working on figuring out how to remedy these issues and appreciate you bringing them to our attention. We welcome you back to stay with us on future Folly Beach trips.
