About this property

Oceanfront gem with amazing views, deck, & loft - walk to downtown Folly Beach

Summary:

The Lighthouse Keeper



The Space:

Open and airy with stellar ocean views, this multi-level home is ready to welcome you to the beach! You'll be blown away by the number of windows letting natural light into the living room, enhanced by the vaulted ceilings. Soak in views of the water and the dunes just behind the house from the great room, the two main bedrooms, and the partially covered deck, and enjoy your very own path to the beach and an outdoor shower to welcome you back.



If you're feeling like barbecuing, the private gas grill outside has a great view and plenty of outdoor seating to allow everyone to enjoy the Folly sunset. But if indoor cooking is more your thing, the full kitchen features a French door fridge, a natural gas stove, a Keurig for your morning coffee, and a kitchen island with three counter stools, all close to the oversized main dining table. The entire home is cooled by central air conditioning.



When it's time to settle in for bed, you'll have plenty of options. The first-floor main bedroom features lovely ocean views, a private deck entrance, and an en suite bathroom with double sinks, a standalone shower with a fixed and handheld showerhead, and a soaking tub. One guest bedroom is just to the left of the front door and features a ceiling fan, a double-door closet, and a multi-window view of palm trees and the neighborhood.



Upstairs, everyone can enjoy the loft space with a TV and casual seating while gazing out at the ocean. A guest bedroom features a ceiling fan with a neighborhood view across the entire island to the Folly River. An additional primary bedroom features a lovely private balcony with a broad beach view, multiple windows that provide plenty of natural light, and a ceiling fan. This room includes a private entrance to the second-floor bathroom with double sinks.



All of the beds and bedframes were updated in December 2024, along with all of the great room furniture, to welcome you in comfort



Additional home amenities include fast WiFi, a sofa bed in the loft for extra sleeping capacity, an outdoor shower, hair dryers for beach days and a private boardwalk to the beach.



In addition to being just steps away from the beach, guests are only three blocks from the town of Folly. You'll be close to the Folly Pier and numerous restaurants, all within half a mile of your vacation home! Enjoy a tour by boat or kayak at Flipper Finders Boat & Sea Kayak Tours, just under one mile away. The Morris Lighthouse Heritage Preserve is a short ride to the island's eastern end, looking out on the historic lighthouse that protected the entrance to Charleston Harbor. All that downtown Charleston has to offer is 12 miles away.

Lovely home with an excellent location directly on beach and an amazing view. Prompt host/manager response to communication. Overall, clean house but certain things stood out as needing cleaning: dingy living room couches, kitchen drawers and shower floors/grout.

Thank you so much, Kataska! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your time at The Lighthouse Keeper. There’s something truly special about waking up right on the beach, taking in the incredible views, and having the coast as your backdrop throughout your stay. We’re also so pleased to hear our team was prompt and attentive whenever you reached out. The Lighthouse Keeper is a popular and well-loved home, and you visited during the heart of our peak season. We schedule our deeper cleaning and furnishing refreshes following this busy period, when we’re able to give the home that additional level of care. We truly appreciated you sharing your feedback, and the owner took it to heart. We’re happy to say the furnishings and all areas you noted have since been thoroughly refreshed and beautifully cared for. Thank you again for sharing your experience. We hope you left with wonderful memories of your time by the water, and we’d love to welcome you back for another coastal escape!

It’s a beautiful home with everything you need. Loved the porch and being able to walk to the ocean. It was the perfect place to bring our large family. Only wish check in time was earlier than 4:00, and then a check out time of 10:00 was really too too early!!!

Family Vacation

This house was an incredible place for our family vacation, including three generations. The view of the beach is amazing, the ocean is just steps away and you can walk to Center Street for food, shopping, cocktails, etc. The layout is open with lots of windows to see the beautiful view. We loved hanging out on the deck. Can’t say enough good things about the Lighthouse Keeper!

Great spot on Folly Beach

Great home! Love the layout and the location! Opportunities for improvement include upgrading the bed in the upstairs room (I think that is already in process) and there may be an issue with the drains (slow flushing, slow sink drain).

Loved the house! Perfect location. Walking distance to town, resturants and Berts ( the only grocery store on the island plus so much more). The house was very clean and the beds and great room furniture were very comfortable. Having an upper and lower deck was great too. An added bonus was all the beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys and bikes. Vacasa was easy to deal and very attentive. Thank you for a great family trip!

Great times at Folly

Very spacious beach house with all the amenities and spectacular views. Everything was great although some little maintenance on the deck, gates and locks might be due. Short walk to great restaurants and bars and 30min drive to Charleston. Anyone booking this will not regret it.

Amazing Value for Unbeatable Location

Our group had amazing weekend at Folly thanks to this rental! The price is very reasonable compared to nearby homes, and the location could not be beat. The home was open and airy with beautiful views. The only issue we encountered was addressed immediately and fixed within hours. Strongly recommend!

Great experience

We really enjoyed the house. The view of the beach is amazing, and the porches are big enough that you can spread out and relax. Great location, beside the public beach access so we had two options for getting down to the beach. Spacious rooms, very well maintained. Had some questions about the elevator and were able to resolve it quickly with the property manager. Would definitely recommend!!

Beach Front for the 4th

Overall our stay was enjoyable. The house was a little more worn down and not quite as clean as we’d expected. The location of the house however and the layout worked perfectly for our family and the view from the deck to watch the fireworks on the 4th was incredible! Folly is such a walkable town, we loved being able to walk from the house to Main Street in a matter of 10 minutes or less!
