Featured "HGTV Dream Home" - Best View on the Oceanfront!
Renovation complete!
Captivating Oceanfront home nestled on the eastern end of the island with sweeping views of the Atlantic, Charleston Harbor, Ravenel Bridge, and Morris Island Lighthouse. Greeted by a long driveway bordered with towering palms, this property features a ton of outdoor entertaining space, including double porches and a roof top terrace with panoramic views of the ocean and marsh. An open light-filled floor plan is perfect for large gatherings. The living room features double sets of doors leading out to the covered porch, along with a gas fireplace and custom built-ins on either side. The kitchen comes equipped with nice cabinetry, stainless appliances, granite countertops, and an oversized pantry. There are dual Master bedrooms, one on each floor, and both with large en-suite baths.The hardwood floors were recently sanded and refinished throughout the entire house. There is an elevator that can be accessed on the ground level which services all three levels of the home, including the rooftop terrace. Come see why this beachfront gem has been a VRBO favorite on The Edge of America!

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. 6 STAR!"
- 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."
