Video: https://youtu.be/eI07r8NQT_8

This 3 floor, 2 Master bedroom property is conveniently located approximately 1.5 blocks from Folly's dining and shopping and less than 2 blocks from the beach which is just a quick 2-3 min walk (400 steps). Folly Beach has an array of quaint stores, coffee shops, ice-cream parlors, and numerous restaurants, so there is no need to take the car when casually stepping out at night or walking the pier.

From the moment you enter the giant doors of this custom, 3000+square foot home into the two-story foyer you will be transported into another world. Mediterranean-style architecture mixed with comfortable high-end furniture and appliances exceed all standards. You will feel pampered by the high-quality designer linens and towels as well as the quality soap products just like a five-star hotel.

This VRBO Top-ranked 5-Star* home consists of 4-5 bedrooms 3.5 baths (sleeps 10 comfortably). The kitchen is, state-of-the-art, 'to die for' with tons of granite, a professional stove, double ovens as well as microwave dishwasher and large, side-by-side refrigerator .The kitchen is open to the family room/TV room, dining room, as well as the screened porch. The screened porch is the most popular space in the house with our guests as it has comfortable lounging chairs as well as a secondary dining table. You will find yourself surrounded by tropical trees and the singing of birds mixed in with the sound of the ocean.

The living room to the front of the house can be used as an overflow living space/TV room or 5th bedroom as it has a day bed and pull out trundle as well as the sofa. Also downstairs is the second master, with a queen 4 poster-bed and a full bath. This has a door to the screened porch so this area is a beautiful unit within itself if someone wants more peace and quiet.

Upstairs there are 3 more bedrooms. The Master bedroom is huge and opulent having a king size bed and plenty of extra space .The spa like bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub and a separate shower. There are two further queen bedrooms upstairs sharing a Jack-and-Jill, beautifully tiled bathroom. The larger of these bedrooms has a great ocean view from the queen-size bed ideal for lazy days. There are TV'S in 2 of the upstairs bedrooms and one left without on request so Kids don't stay awake all night watching!

The most spectacular aspect of this home is the ocean-side deck, perfect for days you want to lounge and sun without being at the beach, or for catching the cool night breezes and ocean sounds as you dine alfresco or gather with friends.

Underneath the home is a spectacular outdoor kitchen with a large prep area, a full gas range and sink as well as a large dinning table. There is an outdoor shower and a storage area for the sun chairs we provide. There is a 3-4 car enclosed garage as well as lots of space for at least 7 cars in the driveways in the front and back of the home.

This home is for a family or group who appreciate such luxury yet want the casual fun feel of Folly. With all we have to offer, as well as making it available to owners of mature well-behaved dogs (at no extra cost), this house has been a Folly favorite for vacationers for many years.

We are consistently ranked in the Top 1% of all VRBO sites nationwide. We have received several Folly Beach and Charleston accolades over the years as well as featured attraction on Home Builders magazines. See the featured Video in the Video section.

We have a computer set up so that you can check out all the local restaurants and destinations as well as a wireless surround sound which you can stream music from. The house has 3 brand new smart TV’s in the main living room as well as both master bedrooms. All these extras make it so you don't have to pack your whole house up to feel the comforts of home.

There is also a golf cart available to rent on the property for a $275/week fee. Load up the chairs, cooler and the family and ride to the beach in just seconds.

It is in an ideal location with high-end finishes of travertine, granite and chefs gourmet kitchen with butler's pantry. This extraordinary versatile home was built as a private home in 2001 by an Italian Renaiscance but is in use as one of Folly's most successful vacation spots since 2005. This ~3200 sq ft mediterranean style home with 4 bed/3.5 bath home lives much larger due to its unique layout and the flow to the large screened porch of the main floor and huge sundeck off upper floor. Another front room has a a Day Bed that converts to 2 fulls so you can easily sleep 10-12. The basement/garage has enough space for 3-4 or boats and a game room storage for beachware, toys, 4-5 bikes for your use and umbrellas.even a stroller is there.

We also have a pretty, red EzGo Golfcart for rent. You can rent on or offline as you prefer saving a few fees with the latter.

This quintessential home is for the discerning Vacationer who appreciates luxury and the casual fun feel of Folly plus the quick commute to Historic downtown Charleston. It is ideally situated just 3 rows from the ocean with an official beach walkway right in front so there is no need to take the car to go to the beach or stroll the pier.

Good communications with the host and clear instructions and expectations for all the basics. Kitchen had everything to prepare meals for our group though cooking utensils/pots pans could use a refresh. Easy walk to beach but note access path is next to house so if you bring pets beware that other dogs/people walk the path during the day.
