`This house was beautiful and perfect for our trip!` - James, March 2025

`I received great service from Ross. The property had everything we needed. We have been coming to Folly beach for many years and this was our very best stay.` - Martha, July 2025

=======================================



This four-story custom-built beach home has everything you need for a fun, comfortable, and carefree stay. With the beach quite literally right behind the house, you`re just a few steps away from the sand — go barefoot from the porch and straight into the ocean. From the moment you arrive, the views and the sea breeze set the tone for a perfect coastal escape!



~ THE LAYOUT IS IDEAL FOR GROUPS — with 4 master suites (each with its own bathroom, balcony and ocean view), plus a fun bunk room that sleeps up to 7. There`s room for everyone, whether you`re hosting extended family, a group of friends or a wedding party.



~ THE OPEN-CONCEPT MAIN FLOOR brings everyone together with a large, cozy living room (featuring a 60` TV and electric fireplace), a full dining area and a chef-style kitchen with a professional gas range, full-size fridge and all the essentials for cooking big family meals.



~ On the top floor, you`ll find THE GAME ROOM — a favorite hangout spot with a pool table. Step out onto the upper deck to take in panoramic views of the ocean and river.



~ THE LARGE, FENCED-IN BACKYARD that leads directly to the beach. Ideal for families with kids who want to play safely, and perfect for hosting events like beachfront weddings, sunset dinners, or casual gatherings. Imagine setting up tables in the yard, walking straight onto the sand for a ceremony, and watching the waves roll in behind you.



Additional highlights include:

* Elevator to all 4 levels (wheelchair accessible)

* 3-car garage with space for up to 6 vehicles

* Multiple porches and balconies with beach and river views

* Washer/dryer, fast Wi-Fi and smart TVs throughout

Spacious Oceanfront Home

The house can accommodate large families or friend groups. Virtually every room has ocean view and lots of bathrooms. Tons of socializing space and great enclosures on deck and a garden that accesses the beach immediately. Great communication with Ross and listen to his suggestions. Folly town is fantastic find; lots if cool bars, great music and cool ice cream shop for the littles-“Shoobies.” Pool halls too. Tides is a great music and oceanfront restaurant for a fancy night out with music. The rooftop Taco restaurant more casual with music too snd cool with kids. Great vibe, Ashley st is a great walk, or you can Uber. Enjoy as we did.

Family wedding weekend

The house is beautiful and spacious and was perfect for our family gathering for our daughter's wedding weekend on Folly Beach! The setting on the beach is perfect... fabulous views and balconies from the living room and kitchen and all but one of the bedrooms! The elevator made bringing suitcases and supplies inside and taking them out again very easy. The yard and walkway to the beach was perfect. Everything was wonderful! Ross was always quick to respond to texts and emails and was great about communicating and accommodating our requests. Highly recommend this house for your family vacation on Folly Beach!

SIMPLY STUNNING PROPERTY!!!

If I could give 10 stars for each of the above categories I would! Ross is a wonderful host and was so responsive to all of my communication from booking to stay! We held our son's recent rehearsal dinner here in the back yard, it was a stunning event with the backdrop of the ocean and all the space for our guests to enjoy the view and dinner under the up-lit palm trees . Everyone from family to friends who entered this home were stunned at it's beautiful views from any spot on the property! The rooms were so comfortable each with their own oceanfront views and private bathrooms allowing everyone to have privacy and space as the rooms are nicely spread throughout the home. Although we did not have young kids to use the bunkbed / family room it is the coolest room and would easily sleep a small family in your group or all the kids and or teens in a group. We fit a 6 ft 20 something in a bunkbed and he was very comfortable! The rest of the home is very cozy and nicely decorated, the screened in porch, the rocking chairs and the fabulous kitchen! The pool/ game room with the porch off the room was a favorite of our family to play pool, listen to music and watch the sunset ! If you are looking for a 5 star resort home on a quiet street with oceanfront access look no further this house is a shore thing!!! I look forward to having an opportunity to visit family in Charleston again and staying here !!!!!

Owner failed in reasonable communication

Overall the property is not well represented in the description and pictures shown. The pictures are misleading in size and condition. I rented the property for a total of 4 adults and 3 kids. The other couple we were traveling with was using this as a scouting trip for a wedding next summer. Obviously this was house enough for us but I would not recommend using this as a wedding venue as the property is advertised. The yard was not well maintained and the interior lower level was not as large as it appeared in the pictures. The property owner was not up to par with communication. - Failed to notify us or post in the property description that Folly Beach renourishment was happening during the time we were there and the couple months prior. We stayed at another property the week before this stay and found out from that property. The only issue with the renourishment was a large diesel generation and sand/water pump was located directly in front of the property. It would run on and off throughout the day and all hours of the night. After asking the owner, he mentioned previous renters had complained. This is something I would expect to be passed to future guests on the potential impact to their vacation. - Failed to notify us that the oven was broken and only confirmed this when we tried to cook the first day and the smell of gas became obvious. At a high level the property is okay, but for the price, I expected a higher level of service and better property maintenance.

The beach was very peaceful, great for young grandkids to play and explore! Would suggest more coffee mugs and freestanding vacuum for quick sand pickup. Otherwise no recommendations.

Beach House Vacation

This was a great rental for our group of 12 adults and 3 children! It was very clean, had a great view of the ocean, and Ross was very responsive to any concerns we had. A regional thing to note is apparently hairdryers are not commonly provided in rental houses in Charleston which we didn't know, so we didn't bring any and had to buy some. In any case, great house and we enjoyed it very much!!!

Loved this house and would rent again!

This property was perfect for our needs! The house is right on the beach and has paid obvious attention to detail with a chiefs kitchen, industrial refrigerator, TWO dishwashers, planned rooms (all with oceanfront views and en-suite bathrooms), and an easy to use elevator. We held our rehearsal dinner here and received so many compliments and requests for information to rent the house themselves. The owner is very responsive and helpful in advising event permitting. Our only complaint, is that we could not get the oven to stay on. I did not seek help for this as we were able to switch our cooking methods easily but I believe the responsive owner would have been helpful in this regard if we had sought assistance.
