Flip-Flops Off, Fun On: 5br, Game Room, Ocean Views & Sunset Decks for 12!

Oceanfront sunrises, a private elevator, and space for the whole crew—all wrapped into one four-story Folly Beach retreat —no shoes, no streets, just the Atlantic at your feet.
Private, four-story escape hosts 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, an elevator and a top-floor game room with pool table. Planning a beach wedding, reunion or surf safari? This home was built for together-time and unforgettable photos.

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.

~ 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.

Absolutely beautiful home on a quiet stretch of beach. Very well accommodated and everything works perfectly. Family from Minnesota and Oregon shared a week here. The kitchen was very well organized and stocked with great pans where we cooked several meals. The screen porch was nice when it rained a bit and it helped when it was a bit too windy. Great spot!

This property was truly everything we could have hoped for to stay for our wedding on Folly Beach. Our highlights were the "bunk" room, huge kitchen and dining room table, and the screened in porch. The proximity to the beach doesn't hurt either. It is spacious and perfect for a large group. They seem to have thought of most things you could want!
