Originally built by Joe back when time moved a little slower, summer days seemed to melt into one another and family and friends gathered on porches to enjoy light conversation and cocktails while benefiting from the evening breeze. This lovely, updated 1950's private home helps you step back into a simpler time, curling up with a good book, living shoeless and never needing to get into your car unless you absolutely must leave the Island.
As you enter the home you are greeted with original heart pine floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and an open and airy floor plan with two seating areas and dining room. Equipped with a fully stocked kitchen for all your dining/food preparation needs. The kitchen opens up directly to the front wrap around porch and also to a lovely seating area inside. Perfect layout for friends and family to gather while the chef prepares the evening meal, while not being excluded from the conversations and happenings of the day. Off of the kitchen you will find the main living room along with a Roku Flat Screen TV for all your viewing needs. This home has Direct TV and WIFI. Dining Room is directly off and open to the main living room. Dining Table is set for six people and there's additional seating for three at the bartop in the adjacent kitchen area.
The Master Suite is located on one side of the home, off to itself. This room was just updated in early 2020 with a new King mattress. A closet, chest of drawers and two luggage racks complete the space. All beds are prepared with 100% cotton linens. The spacious bathroom on this side of the home has a spacious walk-in shower and double pedestal sinks. The queen bedroom is furnished with a luggage rack and has plenty of hooks to hang personal items. The bathroom in this bedroom was completely remodeled in late 2019. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower and plenty of cabinet space for clothing and bath items. The twin bedroom has 3 twin beds with an additional twin bed in a smaller nook.

Great little getaway! The home was just as advertised and a perfect space for our group of 7. The location is walkable to downtown, but not so close you hear it all night. The owners provide everything you need to make it comfortable and relaxing! Would absolutely stay again!

This home is beautiful and was perfect for our party of 7. My husband and I traveled with our 3 kids (8,6,&3) along with my parents. We were so comfortable and footsteps to the public beach access.

All was wonderful. Only hiccup was there was only 1 refrigerator/freezer, and it was advertised as having two. Otherwise we would very much consider it again.

Joe’s Folly was perfect for my brother’s bachelor party! It’s a beautiful little piece of property that comfortable slept 7, and was close enough to everything from the beach to downtown Charleston that we never felt removed from where we wanted to go!
The hosts were incredibly communicative, helpful, and kind, and followed through even after our stay was over with things that may have been left behind. I would book this property again in a heartbeat if I’m planning another trip to Folly Beach!

Stayed here for our annual girls trip. Could not have been more perfect!

Well maintained and nicely updated vintage house easy walk to beach. Quiet indoors even though facing busy Ashley. Easy parking access from Cooper and mature trees shade the house most of the day. Small fenced yard for little kids - but don’t trust a curious 3 year old anyway. Never heard or saw a neighbor.

This property was outstanding. Perfect location on Folly Beach. Walking distance to downtown Folly and a block away from beach access. Management was so prompt with communication and went above expectations. If I could give 10 stars I would. We will be back!

We were a group of 8, two families of 4, including a pair of 22 year olds and a pair of 19 year olds. Joes Folly was perfect! The house is furnished beautifully. We spent a lot of time on the porch. We appreciated the proximity to the beach, town and Bert’s. The second fridge came in handy. This property is #1 on our list for next year!

Joe’s Folly
This was our second year staying at Joe’s Folly. We had a wonderful week. We had 5 adults and 2 children. The kitchen contains everything you need to cook in for the week. The house has 3 full bathrooms plus hot/cold water in the outdoor shower. There are also laundry facilities on the property.
When we had a question the property manager was quick to respond. Everything was in good working condition.
We had a wonderful week.

We were so happy with everything about this property. It was only a quick walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We LOVED the convenience to Berts too! We would most definitely stay here again :)

Great Stay!
Lovely little beach home with a ton of character and easy access to beach and Folly "downtown" bars and restaurants. Nice for older folks with mobility issues since there are no interior stairs.

Beach with historical city nearby
The house was spacious, clean, cool and conveniently located. It was well stocked with new appliances and very comfortable. The neighborhood was beach oriented, the city of Charleston overwhelmingly historical. Both best of America

Lovely home, perfect location in Folly
Our family (two adults, two teens) had a wonderful week in Folly Beach at this beautiful home. Kind and accessible hosts clarified everything in advance and were quickly responsive to minor questions during our stay. Property is super clean and very well maintained. Joe's Folly is spacious and perfect for being "together" and still having some alone time. Climate control incredibly good with separate, quiet units and ceiling fans in every space (including the front porch). Kitchen had every utensil and pot you could need, although thankfully I did not have to cook, even once! Walk to literally everything, in 5-10 minutes. Never used the car except to go into Charleston, only 20 mins away. Thoughtful touches everywhere to make your stay pleasant - loads of hooks for towels and clothing, plenty of hangers, lots of towels, ample storage. They provide beach chairs and boogie boards and a cart to haul everything so that you don't need to pack your own. Outdoor shower fabulous after the beach. Master bed and linens REALLY comfortable. This was our first trip to Folly Beach, and we hope it will not be our last. We enjoyed everything about our stay at Joe's Folly.

Charming beach house
We had a wonderful stay at this adorable house for spring break. Very close to beach and Folly’s downtown area. Perfect house for families with kids because there are 4 twin beds. We loved that everything was on one floor with only 3 steps to the house since our youngest son has muscular dystrophy and cannot climb steps easily. It is not fully wheelchair accessible but works well for people with limited mobility. The house had plenty of room for our family of 5 and we could have even brought my parents along. House was well stocked with kitchen essentials, beach chairs, toys, and beach towels and even a rolling cart to get everything to the beach. We appreciated the unique features of the house like the original hardwood floors, wooden beams, fireplace, and outdoor shower. We loved our stay here!

Fabulous on Folly
This super cute house is located 1 block from beach and 3 from restaurants. Plenty of space to spread out, but still feel like you are with your family. I hope we are able to return next summer!

Classic Beach House, Wonderfully Updated
The location close to the beach is perfect, maybe a block to the public beach access. We used our cart every day to set up our chairs and umbrellas. I had to negotiate the stairs to get over the dunes, but it wasn't too tough. Bert's Market is a block away.
The house is more spacious than the photos show, especially in the common areas. One of the bedrooms, the queen is actually like it's own little suite with its own entrance into the common outdoor area in the courtyard in front of the house.
We went during the COVID pandemic and this house is perfect for those wanting to go to the beach and just sequester away from others. We walked to the beach, easily able to socially distance. We ate all our meals at the house, which is set up for it. And we really had no occasion to come in close contact with anyone else. It was much needed after being in almost total isolation since March.
I highly recommend this property. My wife and I loved it and would definitely going back. Our girls (19,17 and 13) and a couple of their friends loved it too.

Joe’s Folly Beach House
My short stay at Joe’s Folly beach house was wonderful! The house is designed for lots of family interaction with a well stalked kitchen centered and overlooking living and dining areas. Bedrooms are located at both ends of the house giving lots of privacy for two couples with little children or maybe two couples. I also enjoyed siting outside in the cozy seating area on the porchIt.
Location is perfect to all activities.. it is one street walk from the beach, a few streets a down from the center of town and all the action and a short walk to the local store for any groceries you may have forgotten. Communication with the house manger was very easy by email and text.
Make sure to read Joe’s story of his dream house on the beach. All around, our experience was wonderful!!!

Cute Cottage
Cute cottage in a great location! Beds were very comfortable! Easy walking distance to beach and all our favorite spots in town. Fireplace is not functional, but not a big deal to us.

Awesome!
This was the PERFECT spot to stay for our trip to Folly. Very convenient and walkable to everything Folly has to offer as well as the beach. We had one small hiccup with the AC but the owners were easy to contact, they were also very nice and accommodating. It was very clean, not to mention adorable! I would recommend this house to anyone and definitely stay here again!

Great Experience!
Our family loved Joe’s Folly! This is an older beach house with so much character. Bedrooms are located on both ends of the house, with an open gathering area in the middle. If more than one family is staying, there’s privacy to be had. Renting through VRBO was smooth. The house was very clean when we arrived, with a nicely stocked kitchen (plates, utensils, gadgets, skillets, etc) Nice gas stove. Each room had a mini split air conditioner which allowed for comfortable temps. Good quality, stain free bath towels. BEDS WERE AMAZINGLY COMFY! Extra blankets and beach towels stored in armoires. Extra beach gear on the porch. I washed our towels twice in the washer/dryer located in the building in back. There was a hose area, as well as a rod to hang wet items in the back also. Games/cards/ books stored on hand, as well as magazines and tourist info. I cannot say enough about the great location of this house. Quiet neighborhood. Short easy walk to the beach. Two blocks from the restaurants and shops. Bert’s market is a block away...go there! Hand dipped ice cream, along with anything else you forgot at Walmart. We rented bikes and rode to the end of the island to see Morris Island Lighthouse...do that if you can! We ate at the Crab Shack (loved!), LoLo’s (really good!), ordered pizza from Woodys(yum!), and went to Charleston to try Hymans (go there!). I would rent this again in a heartbeat. A lot of bang for your buck.
