About this property

Seaside Retreat, Steps to the Beach, Pet Friendly, Huge Porch

Come enjoy this newly renovated beautiful two bedroom retreat. This third row home has all the amenities you'll need to enjoy all that Folly Beach and Charleston have to offer.

More details about the house: The beach is just 500 feet away, so close you can hear the surf in the evenings from the spacious screened porch. Bert's convenience store is just two blocks away for last minute supplies. If you want to eat in occasionally, you'll love our fully stocked kitchen. We also have a gas grill for you to use. If you prefer, Center Street is only four blocks away and downtown Charleston is just 20 minutes away. Both will provide all the dining, shopping and night life you'll need on your vacation.

The entire upstairs unit is yours. The bottom unit of the duplex is mostly used for storage although the owners do occasionally spend time there when work and real life permit.

I personally manage this house for the owners. I manage two other properties on Folly, one of which I own. Although I am not the owner of this house, I do take pride in treating it just like I do my own. I will be available any time I'm needed throughout the reservation process and during your stay.

Excellent stay. Great communication with the host. The home was clean, comfortable and just one block from the 5 East beach access. After putting up a temp. baricade to the back corner of the house, the yard became completely enclosed for our small dogs to roam off leash. The outdoor shower was a plus, and we enjoyed relaxing on the screened-in porch in the evenings. We would stay here again.

A wonderful week

Check in was easy. It was spacious, clean and bright from the many windows. The kitchen was well equipped with a coffee maker and a Keurig, which I found as a nice touch. It was a short walk to the beach which had warm and calm water to swim in. I mention this because we stayed in Outer Banks, NC three different summers and the water was rough and had extreme winds everday. There is an outdoor shower with hot and cold water which was fantastic for returning from a day at the beach.Kevin, the host, was thoughtful and available at anytime if needed. We would highly recommend this place and plan on returning. Rebecca

Cute house in a great location

We really enjoyed our stay here. The location to the beach was short and great for walking the dogs. Also just a short walk to all the restaurants on Center St. We would definitely stay here again.

Good Times in Folly Beach

We had an excellent time at this Folly Beach Property. The location was great; walking distance to beach and main drag. The property was exactly as described. Everything was comfortable. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch.

Beach trip

Had a great time in upstairs rental. It was light with all the windows and enjoyed the large screened in porch daily for coffee, cocktails and games in the evening. Great location, short walk to beach but far enough away from action.

Excellent & Family Friendly

This was the best place to stay for my family on our beach vacation this year. The house was within walking distance to the beach and super clean! The owners even let us use their umbrella and beach chairs and toys for our daughter! It's a beautiful house and we really appreciated how family-friendly this house was. Thank you!

Over all very spacious beach house. All though the carpet was stained in one bedroom. There was a good bit of white dog hair throughout the house. I had to clean the filter in the Shark Vaccum to vaccum.(it was black and smelled like a dog). I didn't mind cleaning it, those need cleaning from time to time. (House cleaning is a second job that I have, seriously)The outdoor shower was very nice and handy. The outside areas could have been more tidy. Loved the laundry area and the little extras like soap, shampoo, conditioner, make-up remover wipes and providing a start with paper towels and toilet paper. Oh and the bath towels and linens. Very nice touch with how the towels were left on the beds when we arrived. A very short walk to the beach and from town. We love bringing our dog Abe on his first beach trip. We loved the game/ puzzle table, so relaxing!!! We put one puzzle together twice!! Would highly recommend

Comfy & Cozy

My wife and I took enjoyed four nights at the house. We brought our two dogs who had a blast as well. The house is a quick walk from the beach and dining so there were a few days where we didn't need the car. The house was well stocked and very clean. We'll definitely be back.

Nice location and ample space

We enjoyed our first trip to Folly Beach area and were very appreciative of the pet accommodations and responsiveness of the property manager. The space is bright and roomy and the screened porch is wonderful. We did not feel the property was ready to be rented; perhaps because we were early in the season, but it seemed there should have been a more careful preparation/checklist in advance. Grill was filthy, stove was old and not working properly, shower curtain had mold and numerous kitchen items were dirty and had to be cleaned before using. The yard has lots of "junk" lying around and just was not presentable as a beach retreat. For the total expense over 4k, this was not good.

Big airy treehouse

Staying at Seaside Folly was like being in a big, airy treehouse! The porch is huge, and surrounded by trees, and the common area is VERY spacious. The kitchen is wonderfully stocked with new-looking appliances, dinnerware and cook wear. Everything you could possibly need. My bed squeaked but it was comfy anyway. 2-3 minute walk to the beach - perfect!
