About this property

Looking for a getaway? The Beach Fox is semi ocean front and just steps from the 5th street beach access and blocks from the lively "downtown" strip of Folly. Two driveways, spacious front porch, inviting living room into the cozy kitchen. Recently renovated and beautifully decorated. Perfect for a small family or a group of friends longing for the beach (or a nap on the hammock).

Inside each bedroom you will find a mounted TV and closet space. The single bathroom has a shower/tub combination and his & her sinks. The kitchen has all new appliances and an open floor plan so you can still be involved in living room conversation. The dining table has 5 chairs but can easily add a 6th if needed. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and has a cleanable filter.

Outside you will find large palms in the front shading the porch and a large oak equipped with rope swing in the back. Feeling sandy? Wash off in our outdoor shower! We have a foot shower in the front of the home. The laundry is located out back in a covered shed. The large front yard gives all the needed grass for a lovely game of bocce. Beach chairs will be provided under the home.

Bringing the kids? You can watch them walk to Folly's Wave Watch Playground at the end of the street. We are not currently dog friendly.

We invite you to come enjoy our Folly Beach as much as we have!

*** We do not provide linens and towels, please bring your own or arrange for rentals before arrival. Address can be provided before your check in email. There are multiple rental companies near Folly, including linens, towels, baby care, bikes, chairs, umbrellas, etc. There is also a Walmart (with delivery options) on your way in.

Perfect!

We had such a wonderful stay! The house is comfortable and so charming. The porch is especially lovely and a perfect place to relax. We loved the easy beach access and daily walks to downtown for coffee, dinners and provisions from Bert’s. We look forward to coming back!

Girls weekend getaway

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was adorable, clean, and provided all we needed for our beach stay. Communication with the owner was timely and extremely helpful. Any small issues we had (short on beach towels, extra toilet paper) were addressed and remedied very quickly. The outdoor shower and foot wash station were perfect for coming off the beach. Highly recommend this adorable getaway beach house!

Great place! Exactly what we were looking for:)

We had such a great time staying at this Folly Beach house! It was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our mom's birthday. Awesome porch for hanging out, super close to the beach and a fun beach town nearby with great food and music. So many things to love about our stay at this house. Thanks!

Quick family weekend

We had a few days to spend in Folly Beach with our kids who are in there early 20's. The house was great, good location, not a long walk to the beach, and not hard to drive into Charleston. The house was very cute, clean, and great screen in porch.

Perfect Weekend

My family and I spent the weekend here celebrating my birthday and couldn’t have asked for a more memorable stay. Beautiful home with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We spent most of our time sitting on the front porch listening to the breeze rustling the palm trees. The kitchen and large table worked great for a low country boil. We will definitely be back!

LOVE the Beach Fox!!!

The Beach Fox is a gem! Very Accurate listing and photos of this precious beach bungalow. Clean and well appointed and sweetly decorated. This home has been made with love! I was so impressed with the details and the antique furnishing. I love Ripley's style - we cannot wait until our next visit ;)

Wonderful House, Great Location

The Beach Fox was clean, lived up to the listing, and is within an easy 7 minute walk to the main drag of Folly Beach. The beach is a minute walk away and there’s a small park just down the block. The front porch is amazing and the hammock was a favorite, there is also ample regular seating to sit out and enjoy the night air and the sounds of the ocean. The kitchen is fully functional and roomy enough to enjoy meals and games. The bathroom offers plenty of counter space and good water pressure. Our family truly enjoyed this cozy home.

Folly Beach Bungalow

What a cute older home! Very Comfortable beds and the kitchen was equipped well. Very close to the beach access! Perfect location! Enjoyed morning coffee on the porch. Advertised as a 2 bath really only one. That was a little tricky with 4 women. Only one toilet. The outside shower was used also one day. It was raining on the am of departure and it was a little difficult washing the towels prior to departure due to the W/D being outside in a little shed but it only covered the appliances. Overall we enjoyed our stay. It was a great girl trip!

Extenuating Circumstances

I am not reviewing this property from a first hand experience. I had a death in the family and the property owner was only willing to refund my cleaning fee and offered a discounted stay upon another booking, so I told my friends to take the house for the weekend. They enjoyed the location and the house. It was clean and the location was good, plus parking! I was informed of some strange rules written in an interestingly worded rule book provided. One example: place the towels in the washing machine but don't strip the beds. They said there is no washing machine in the house, or where to find it mentioned in said book. I never know what the cleaning fees go towards if it's not cleaning... I think they enjoyed their experience overall. From my personal perspective, I understand it can be frustrating as an owner, but it's Folly Beach in June, it could have been re-listed and rented out, or a negation about refunding the nightly rental but not the VRBO fees plus re-listing, there were options. Anyway, I think others will have a lovely experience in this house and really enjoy their stay. Unfortunately I did not. But hey, that's life.

Stay at your own risk

This was sadly the worst experience I have ever had staying at a VRBO. The house is mostly fine, but there were issues (rotten boards and soft spots in floor and washer/dryer are outside the house and rusted). My gripe is really with the owner and property manager. The first night, the A/C went out and it was 100 degrees outside. This was not their fault, but I reached out to the owner through the app and they never responded. The PM did respond and was initially kind enough to apologize for the inconvenience and offer to comp the first night as a result (I did not ask for this). The next day however we waited all morning for a repairperson and the property manager did not offer to send someone out to wait in our place. They fixed the unit, but the next day they returned again b/c they said they had to fix the washer/dryer. We wasted another entire morning (to be fair, the PM said we could leave but we needed them to work so we stayed). The A/C went out AGAIN the final night of our stay. I was admittedly very frustrated but the PM never responded when I let them know and sent screenshots of thermostat again. I also never received the promised refund despite reaching out repeatedly to both the PM (she had said it was "in process") and the owner thereafter. I even called VRBO for help. I thought about this a lot and what to say. I have never left a negative review for anything but in this case it's the dishonesty that makes me the maddest.

About the host

Hosted by Ripley Devine

The Devine Family purchased The Beach Fox just before the COVID pandemic hit. During their down time they fully renovated their wobbly shack and turned it into a dream vacation space.

Why they chose this property

Folly is a beautiful yet funky, fun time place. It can either feel like your own private hideaway or a party on Bourbon Street.
The Beach Fox is located on the West end of Folly, the less crowded side. Just steps from the beach access and a quick walk to the downtown strip, you can't go wrong staying here.
