Welcome to Sand Castle! This impeccable 5BD/4.5 BA beach retreat can accommodate up to 12 guests and offers plenty of space for gatherings. This home has been well-maintained, updated, and stylishly decorated! Sand Castle includes three living areas.

A few blocks from the ocean and only four doors from Center Street, where most of the Island's restaurants and shops are located, this home's location is ideal! Additionally, it is only three doors down from the Lost Dog Cafe – the most popular place on Folly Beach to gather with locals and visitors for breakfast or lunch. There is also a gas station/convenience store located just a short walk away on Center Street downtown.
Pool, "Beach" and Games
The large saltwater pool will be the highlight of your stay (a walk-in shower and commode are nearby).

Also, there is a ping pong table and a magnetic dart board game in the enclosed area under the house!

This house was wonderful. Came with my family of 5 (6, 4, and 8mo this) plus my parents. The layout was fantastic, our family had the upstairs with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The tv was huge and the games were fun for the kids. The main floor layout was great with 2 more full bedrooms and their own en suite bathrooms and walk in showers. The house is amazingly accessible for aging family members or family with physical disabilities. Lots of space to spread out within the house and everything was well taken care of. The outdoor space was perfect and we swam every day. The listing says no beach/pool gear, but plenty had been left by other tenants. We walked to Center street for some meals and shopping and the walk to the beach was quick and easy. We would 100% stay here again.

The house was exactly as shown, and was perfect for us and the management went beyond. When our coffee maker blew up. They brought us a new one within 30 minutes. I highly recommend staying here it’s close to everything. And there’s so much to do in and around the house. You will never get bored. It’s also relaxing and cozy. Thank you.

From booking to check out the process exceeded our expectations with the host. They made sure to go above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip. The home is situated perfectly to downtown to walk to your favorite establishments.
The home was very clean and well taken care of. This home is perfect for anyone of all ages. We will book this location again on our next trip to town.

Our family loved this charming home! Very warm and inviting. We also appreciated the fact that it was accommodating to elderly family members having a lift chair and accessible wheelchair at the home. There are many activities to do inside and out, something to enjoy for all ages!! We will definitely be staying here again!! One of the nicest and most accommodating homes we have ever stayed at! Many thanks to the family for allowing us the opportunity to stay and enjoy a week that filled us with memories we will share for years to come.

We had a wonderful time, the house was perfect for our group! Beautiful house but it needs some major TLC (particularly the outside and the 2 upstairs bathrooms.)! If all of that was taken care of, the house would be perfect! Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to stay in your home.

Ocean rental was the best at getting us in the house and checking on us during our stay. The house had everything we needed. I had 5 teenagers and they all had a great time. The house is walking distance to everything even the beach. The second floor was a great little get away. This house is an absolute must if you are looking for a relaxing stay with lots of entertainment. We had an awesome stay and hope to be back soon.
From MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review. We are so glad that everyone, including the 5 teenagers, enjoyed their stay with us. It was a pleasure hosting your group and we look forward to hosting you guys again on your next Folly Beach adventure.

Our family enjoyed a week's stay on Folly Island and thoroughly enjoyed this property. The location was ideal for walking to restaurants and shops. Compliant with COVID restrictions, the restaurants all had outdoor socially distanced seating. The house is also well situated for a quick walk to the beach. We opted to rent a six person golf cart to help transport our beach gear, but the walk was very easy and quick. The house has very nice amenities, was exceptionally clean upon our arrival, and My Ocean Rental responded very promptly when contacted for a minor issue. The pool was our gathering spot each afternoon and was one of the highlights of our stay. I suggested to the rental agency that the kitchen, while large and well appointed, the cabinets and drawers needed a bit of organizing. I hope for the sake of future renters that this gets completed. We hope to make this an annual family trip.

Overall, I would rate our stay 10/10. The house is amazing and the pool was an absolute game changer. Only minor critique I would make is that one of the full beds upstairs needs a mattress change (If you can, put kids in that room! We had a house full of adults and the person sleeping on the left bed had a bit of a rough time getting good sleep). Nothing major, just something to note. Also, no fault of the house...parking in Folly is a racket... If I ever make it back to Folly Beach, I would 1000% rent here again!!

Thank you so much for having us at your house. The place was amazing and worked great for the group of people staying there. The house was clean when we showed up and had great amenities to it. We enjoyed the large bedroom and the game room downstairs. The house was very close walking distance to the bars and beach downtown which we loved. We will definitely consider coming back to stay again. I'll be sure to recommend this place to all my friends.
MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review and we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at beautiful Folly Beach!

The home was perfect for our family reunion. We were originally looking for beachfront property but thanks to the addition of a long golf cart we didn't miss it. The pool was a HUGE hit with the kids and the adults. We also had a great time playing ping pong, badminton, corn hole, air hockey and enjoyed an impromptu Karaoke party thanks to the amenities at the house. There are 2 large and comfortable sitting areas to watch tv and the kitchen had ample space to accommodate both the serious cooks and those just looking for snacks. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of bathrooms for 7 adults and 3 kids. We would definitely stay there again.

The house and the amenities were perfect for a week at the beach. You can walk to restaurants, shops and beach all within minutes. The house is spacious and set up well for families and friends to share. The entire experience was excellent and the service provided by the My Ocean Rental was top notch! We will rent this home again and highly recommend it to others!

The house is perfectly as described with plenty of space and a wonderful pool. The location is great especially with kids as town and beach are easily walkable! A few hopefully constructive comments: the kitchen could use a review as bowls, platters and pots and pans are scarce especially for a large group. Cooking was a challenge as we needed to improvise to get enough of what we needed. Second, we suggest more trash cans to hold recycling and trash as our were overflowing and given the recycling collection schedule we were forced to put recycling into the one trash can we had. It would be helpful to supply beach towels if you rent to out if towners as we had to cram thirteen towels into an already packed car and mist of us flew in and couldn't manage to shlep them! A small investment. Finally the exterior is sorely in need of upkeep, specifically painting stairs and trim which was peeling and unsightly. All in all it was a great stay so thank you!

The sandcastle was the perfect folly beach home for our group of friends! Everyone was blown away by the outdoor pool and all the activities available. The proximity to lost dog and center street was also extremely convenient. We will definitely be back!

We had the best stay at this wonderful home. This house was perfect for our large group and the yard could not have been any better for the children. Big pool with lots of floats, volleyball, fire pit and close to all the restaurants and shops but also right there by the beach. We all loved it! Would definitely recommend and we plan on staying there again next year for our family Christmas!

Great house except for Some general maintenance issues: overly soft beds; tree droppings around pool were messy; paint chipping around interior of house; unpleasant bath mats. Great location for restaurants; longish walk to beach.

We have vacationed on Folly for the past 30 years usually staying oceanfront. Last year weather was uncooperative and we found ourselves inside with nothing to do. This year we decided on this house not only because of the space and outdoor pool but there is no way anyone could say they were bored.; Having the pool to return to in the afternoons with the children was heaven sent. Beach is literally an easy walk. This house has so many activities and fun indoor and outdoor activities. My only complaint was having children they wanted to play all of the arcade games and they cost $$ which was frustrating and also tormenting to them. But between the corn hole, outdoor play structure, volleyball net, ping pong and salt water pool it was a great time by all. The convenience of center street and restaurants and bars were great for the other adults. Having the many different gathering areas was great for all as well. The heat was much and there was an issue with the upstairs far right bedroom but there was a fan and the couple in the room just dealt with it . Overall , we can't wait to return next year :-)

The saltwater pool was a big hit with everyone but especially my two grandsons, ages 8 and 10. They also enjoyed the air hockey and pac man games upstairs. The house fit our family of 7. I appreciate that there were coffee filters and extra TP.
The house is located so close to shops, restaurants and the beach we didn’t drive anywhere on the island. Prepare for extra time to get to Folly Beach. We were there June 10-17

This house was absolutely wonderful for our family vacation! Big bedrooms, clean, beautifully decorated and so many hidden features. The location was a short walk to Center St. and to the beach- loved this so we could just put the grandchildren in strollers instead of the car. We did rent a golf cart though so that we could easily transport all our beach gear. The pool and the sandy play area was exceptional and it’s where we ended up spending so much of our time. This was by far one of our best vacation homes!

The home is in poor overall condition. The bathrooms have mold and the bathroom faucets are full of soap scum. The floors are not attached and are dangerous to walk on. The kitchen Utensils we're dirty with food stuck to them. The pool chairs were dirty and broken. Paint is chipping inside and outside the home. This is the worst, property we have rented through vrbo. We have pictures to, share if you are interested.

The property was in a great location. Near all restaurants (walking distance). It lacked an ocean view but the pool made up for that short fall. It is one of the only few with a pool which was great for the kids and adults for after the beach and during the days that we took a break from the beach. The house was very clean. I would stay here again if the family decides to go back to Folly Beach.

Great home
Fantastic home for large groups. Clean, well stocked, pool is awesome. This was our first time staying so close to town, and we didn’t mind it at all. Easy 2 minute cart ride to beach access. Would definitely rent again.

Family Vacation
This property exceeded our expectations! Our 3 adult daughters, significant others and 3 grandchildren truly did not want to leave! The location was as amazing as the house itself. The house is a short block to town and only a few blocks to the beach. We rented golf carts as we had young grandchildren with us and strongly recommend.
The pool area was the best part of the trip. Being salt water inside of chlorine was a nice benefit. Sand area outside was fun for the kids. So much to do inside the house we couldn't even get to it all. There are video machines, pool/air hockey table and even more in the basement. The weather cooperated so we spent most time outside, but plenty to do on a rainy day.
Proximity to the city of Charleston also a huge plus. Went to the aquarium, City Market and several restaurants.
This was our second trip to Folly Beach and honestly we can't wait to come back. We will do everything we can to get to this house again!

Big House With All You Need!
This property had everything--Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms and hang out areas, a clean pool, a breakfast and lunch restaurant two doors down, and walking distance to the shops and beach. We rented a golf cart, but we didn't use it much. Parking was hard to find, so it was just easier to walk to everything. Our group of 10, had a wonderful time exploring and enjoying the Folly Beach area!

Perfect House
The house was perfect for our family. It was a great location (quick walk to town and only a few blocks to the beach), it was clean, spacious, and had a ton of stuff for us to do. Our kids loved the pool and sandy backyard plus the arcade games gave us plenty of rainy day activities. We would love to stay here again.

From rental to check-out, the administrative process was seamless. The home was exactly as advertised. Our family (7 adults) had a blast walking the beach, sitting by the pool, and playing all the games. Perfect spaces for getting away for a nap, gathering as a group, and creating lifelong memories.
