About this property
Oceanfront Home w/ Private Pool, Roof Deck, Porches & Game Room -- Incredible Ocean & Marsh Views
Stop your search and reserve your dates now for this incredible Folly Beach vacation home! Wakita Wave is a beautiful, oceanfront Folly Beach home with a private pool, a private boardwalk connecting the home to the beach, a game room with pool table, and multiple outdoor areas on the marsh and oceanfront side of the house (including what we believe to be the greatest roof deck on all of Folly Beach). Staying in this home is a rare opportunity, as Wakita Wave is one of very few Folly Beach oceanfront homes with a private pool.
With the newly renovated kitchen, dining room and living room situated on the home's upper level in an open floor plan layout, Wakita Wave's reverse floor plan provides you with stunning views of the crashing ocean waves while you are dining at the extra large dining table, lounging in the living room or preparing dinner in the kitchen. Catch the morning sunrise or the evening sunset from the roof deck and take in the panoramic views of the ocean, Morris Island Light House, Ravenel Bridge and gorgeous marsh. After you return home from the beach, you can rinse away the salt & sand in the home's outdoor shower and lounge poolside, read a book in one of the home's many separate seating areas or prepare a feast in the spacious cook's kitchen. This house is where family vacation memories of a lifetime are made. Book your family's vacation at Wakita Wave now!

Had a wonderful time at Wakita Wave! The house was a perfect place for us to celebrate my retirement with my family. Wonderful views of the sunrise from all the decks, Room for everyone to relax. And spending time on the beach and in the pool was just what we needed! Thank you!

Amazing
This home exceeded or expectations! Sometimes pictures are deceiving but not for this property, it was just the way it was shown. Check in was smooth and any questions we had were promptly answered. The pool was at a perfect temperature what was amazing since in March we had colder temperatures. The owners even had a welcome gift set out for us. We were a party of 12 ladies celebrating the upcoming wedding of my granddaughter. We had an absolutely amazing time. We highly recommend this rental and we sure will be back next year…

Thank you, Johanna, for leaving such a wonderful review about your stay at Wakita Wave! We’re thrilled to hear that the home met your expectations and that the pictures were an accurate reflection of the property. It’s fantastic to know that the smooth check-in and prompt responses enhanced your stay, and that the pool served as a delightful feature despite the cooler March temperatures. We’re delighted the welcome gift added a special touch for your group of ladies celebrating your granddaughter’s upcoming wedding. We appreciate your high recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back next year for another memorable experience! Steven, iTrip Charleston Beaches
The house was very accommodating for our large group, plenty of room for all. Parts of the house could use some cleaning and maintenance (banisters need to be replaced) but overall we enjoyed our stay even with the rainy weather!
Our family stayed at the Wakita Wave house from Monday, 2/16 until Friday, 2/20. It is a beautiful home. 6 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths. One of the most well equipped and beautiful kitchens in any vacation home that we have ever rented. And there have been many. Loved the huge dining room table where we could all sit together to eat. Did fun crafts and played games at this table. Swam in the heated pool every day although it was cold outside. Beautiful sunrises from the multiple porches on the house. Had a wonderful family vacation in this home!

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The ocean views and accessibility to the beach are top notch. If you want seclusion and privacy this location is great. The exterior of the home is beautiful and the views from every level are memorable. We loved the ease of going to and from the beach with children. Regarding the interior of the home - I would suggest maintenance is needed. There were signs posted regarding the interior stair railings stating to basically not use the railing due to it being wobbly and not secure. We had several small children on this trip and safety was a concern regarding the stair railing from the lowerlevel to the kitchen. There was visible mold on the lower level bedroom facing the ocean and bathroom it connected to (shower tile and vents). The closets smelled musty and kept the smell throughout our entire stay. There was a sign to not use the wine fridge due to a part being ordered but from the looks of the fridge it’s been a while since it’s been out of service. There was mold growing in this appliance. Simple paint updates are needed and since we stayed in May I would have thought the home would be in pristine condition for the start of the Summer season. We had to contact the host to come turn on the pool filter as it looked to be turned off on the breaker unit. Simple maintenance is expected when staying at a luxury beach front property.
Wonderful home for a family vacation. Open floor plan on 2nd floor kitchen and family room. Bedrooms and bathrooms galore. Pool was just right for post beach cool offs.
House had everything we needed. we had a great time and no issues. great house. great location.

Thank you for your review and for choosing to stay with us. We are glad to hear that you had a positive experience and hope to see you again in the future. Steven, iTrip Charleston Beaches
This property is extremely comfortable for a large group. The ocean views are spectacular and there are marsh/river views from some rooms. There are two dishwashers and a wine fridge plus 2 two-bin trash cabinets making storage and cleanup much easier for a large group. The interior furnishings are comfortable; the!open floor plan makes it easy for large groups to congregate and participate. There is ample high-end outdoor furniture. Great property for big group of family & friends.

Awesome home for our family vacation
Our family of 11 stayed at Wakita Wave in Folly Beach. This house was better than what the pictures showed. It was so spacious and beautiful. The kitchen was well stocked, the pool was refreshing and the private boardwalk out to the beach/ocean just steps away from the house was the icing on top. This was the best trip ever!

Wakita Wave
All in all Wakita Wave suited our needs very well. The layout is very functional and the kitchen well appointed. We especially enjoyed the location and the relative quiet beach.
Two issues: the two street side bedrooms on the first floor did not cool properly and the alarm system was annoying until we discovered the offending device.
