Testimonials:

"We've stayed at several oceanfront vacation rentals throughout the country..."Bella Villa" sits by itself with no one in front or to either side. Look to your left and right: all you'll see is water, waves, and sand. Nothing In Charleston's Folly Beach offered this much comfort, so much space, and privacy. Felt like we lived on the water for a week with no next-door neighbors. Exhilarating! Out of 5 stars, I'd give this magical dwelling a 6. Extreme luxury and class. How can I reserve the rooftop for a graduation party? Truly rare to find such a spacious home with elegant furnishings, this private and right on the water. We'll be back" - Adrien Brody 2016


"Priceless experience - soothing waves were with us every second! As close as we could get to the water - worth every penny. The best privacy in Folly. Comfort inside and comfort on all the decks and patios. Spacious, clean, and endless ocean water views. No neighbors looking in the window. PRIVATE PARADISE!
Our sons surfed directly in front of the kitchen. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!"
- The McKenzie's


"We had our own private sandy beach as this home offers just the right distance away from the pier, restaurants, and shops (away from the crowds). From every room, we witnessed BEAUTY. So hard leaving this paradise. Owners spared no expense in furnishing this place. Truly a fancy home with classy decor. The different levels, all with HUGE patio space, was most impressive. And the rooftop is what I picture HEAVEN to be."
- Caldwell's

"At high tide, the water comes right up to the house. No need to ever turn the TV on (although everyone had their own flatscreen). The home sits in front of the neighbors on both sides, so offers solace and wonderful isolated privacy. Was great not to deal with the busy crowds closer to the pier and town. The privacy this close to the water is impressive. We had 12 for a week, and it felt comfortable for everyone. This home has it all. We've stayed several times."

A Christmas to Remember
My wife, mother and I spent the week of Christmas. It is one of the best times of year to be in Charleston and this home is the best way to do it. It is away from the noise and crowds and has an unmatched rooftop panoramic view, featuring Morris Island lighthouse and spectacular sunrises and you go to sleep and wake up, literally on the beach! House is well equipped for a large group, so we were quite comfortable. The elevator is a nice touch, especially with a week's worth of provisions. Jimmy was available for calls, even during the holiday for any questions. We will definitely be booking again! I only wish I could include some of the sunrise pics I took.

The location was fabulous!
This location really worked well for us. We were traveling with some elderly people. They could feel like they were on the beach without actually being on the beach. The elevator was wonderful. They didn't have to take any stairs!

We arrived at exactly check in time and met the housekeeper leaving. House was perfect and the elevator made all the difference with bags and groceries. Driveway was a bit tricky to negotiate backing out of each day. Overall was a wonderful experience. House does need a few small paint jobs however. The half bath on the main floor has a very scary looking ceiling. Thanks Jimmy.
