About this property

2BR Sleeps 4 - Beach Retreat - 100 feet to beach, Walk to Dining & Nightlife

Wake up and be on Folly Beach in 60 seconds! This private downstairs 2BR apartment is part of our "Ahh Folly" triplex and sleeps 4, two queen bedrooms, a full kitchen, a sunroom for beach gear, and free off-street parking for two vehicles.

Traveling as a family or a bigger group? The two apartments upstairs are ours too, so you can book the whole house and sleep 10 under one roof.

Seconds to the sand, and an easy walk to Folly Beach shops, restaurants and nightlife on Center St.

Enter through a bright sunroom, the perfect drop zone for beach gear or a quiet morning coffee in the sun. Inside, the open-concept living area offers a relaxed coastal feel with comfortable seating, dining for four, and a fully equipped kitchen with refrigerator and stove for easy meals at home.

The private first floor ground level apartment comfortably sleeps up to four guests across two bedrooms, each with a queen bed and closet space. One full bathroom features a stand-up shower.

Coming back sandy? Use the outdoor shower and foot wash before heading inside.

This unit sits on the first level of our classic Folly Beach triplex, a few steps up from the driveway. As with many beach cottages this close to the ocean, you may occasionally hear footsteps from above during busy weeks, our guests tell us it's a fair trade for being 60 seconds from the sand. And if you'd rather have the building to yourselves, all three units are ours and can be booked together for families and groups up to 10.

We had a lovely stay in this cozy apartment across the street from the beach. Totally fine for grandparents and two grandkids. Hosts were very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. The apartment is situated under another unit and so there was some noise from the neighbors but not a real problem.

Folly Beach Annex great for two of us

Perfect option for us. Family just across street in the “big house”. We got the peace and quiet. Great beach access right across street, off street parking, bright for a basement apt. Had everything we needed. Chairs bike towels outside shower follow-up on our check-in to make sure everything was ok. We could hear people upstairs but they told us that upfront and it wasn’t loud or all hours. Great option for small group

This apartment was great for my family of four. The proximity to the beach was unbeatable and the outdoor shower was a lifesaver. The apartment was clean and efficient. The bathroom is a little tight, but other than that, the layout was very comfortable. The kitchen is well-stocked with essential cooking items and even some basic pantry items. There were also plenty of towels and blankets. I also loved the keyless entry.Katherine was a terrific host and she communicated regularly to make sure everything was ok. I would definitely book this apartment again if we're ever back in Folly Beach!

Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Was very disappointed with this property. The ad is misleading. This is a tiny basement converted into a 2 bd rental. The bathroom is cramped closet. The pictures showed a bright space above ground. It is not! Over priced. Moldy bathroom. Damp and cold space. We rented it for 2 adults and 2 teens but it was too small. I had to rent a hotel room while my friend stayed with her daughter because we already paid for the weekend. She only stayed one night. Be Warned!!

About the host

Hosted by Katherine Faust

Host profile image
I've been coming to Folly beach for 20 years and of all the Charleston beaches, Folly is the best. We use this home for our own family and love that other families have similar memories.

Why they chose this property

Our home is 1 mile from Center St in Folly beach. Close enough to all the action, but just far enough to enjoy the peace of the beach.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location,Location! We may be small but we are mighty. Our home is located directly across the street from the public entrance to the beach. 30 ft from the sand.
