About this house rental
Serene waterfront location, sunset views, backyard hot tub, 400ft dock, beach access, breezy screen porch, and newly remodeled: This is what makes the Washout Sea Cabin a truly unique Folly Beach rental. We are Folly Locals, not a company, that live on the island full-time, and love to share our special spot when travel plans allow. Bring your rods, bikes, boards, and beach toys and get ready to enjoy Folly Beach from one of the best spots on the island.
We fully restored this classic 1961 ocean view cottage and are excited to share it with friends and family! With stunning views from nearly every room in the house, top-of-the-line waterfront hot tub, fishing dock and the steady sea breezes, you may not want to leave!
Our location is one of the most unique on the island, the "Washout," where the river and ocean are just 200 feet apart. The large, grassy yard boasts panoramic views of the Folly River, and the 400ft long dock is an amazing spot for sunsets, happy hour, fishing, or paddle boarding.
The primary living space on the second floor features an open layout kitchen with a 14' kitchen island, Italian appliances, on-demand hot/cold filtered water, and farmhouse sink. You'll find a generous primary king bedroom, with en-suite bath, his + her sinks, and walk-in shower, along with two additional efficiency queen bedrooms and a second full-bath in the hallway (see detailed floorplan in photos).
The breezy 450sqft screen porch features high-end furniture, outdoor dining area, and stunning river and ocean views. Th house is equipped with x-finity wifi (1,000mb DOWN/25mb UP), Apple TVs, a Youtube TV subscription, and a SONOS speaker system across 3 zones (including outdoor).
Downstairs you'll find additional living quarters in a King Bedroom Mother-In-Law Suite, living room with TV, full bath, and kitchen. Please note, the downstairs kitchen will include some essentials, but not a full suite of cookware. In total, four bedrooms: two king suites, and two queen bedrooms.
Outside you'll discover a beautiful yard along with two separate hot/cold outdoor showers, new HotSpiring Hot tub, plenty of under-house storage for golf carts (must be rented from a local company) and beach gear. There are also numerous outdoor sitting areas on the wrap-around decks, storage barn (not included in rental), or pierhead at the end of our dock.
The entire property has been landscaped with barefoot-friendly sod, low-voltage lighting, LED's on the dock, and thoughtful touches throughout. Our creek is tidal but offers great fishing and crabbing and higher tides. The location offers stunning views of the Morris Island Lighthouse, Cooper River Bridge, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Folly River.
This property has been lovingly remodeled and carefully furnished because it is our primary residence when we are in town. This is not your typical "quick and dirty" Folly Beach Rental, we are seasoned Mom+Pop hosts, not a management company, and sharing our personal, primary residence with your family to enjoy. This is not a house for parties or large gatherings. We ask that you treat our home with care and respect.
With stunning river and ocean views from nearly every room in the house, and the steady sea breeze blowing through the huge screen porch, you may not want to leave!

My friends and I had a wonderful stay at the Sea Cabin. We loved the house, especially the large screened in porch, the large open kitchen, the spectacular marsh views out back and the perfect location. It was away from town enough to be very quiet but still convenient to Folly restaurants, just a short drive away. We took lots of beach walks down to the lighthouse. Such a beautiful, special area, and we were so happy to be there.
We did wish we'd have realized that the 4th bedroom is very separate from the upstairs main living area and requires going outside to access it. It was ok for us, but just felt a bit isolated and would not be ideal for kids. Still, we loved our stay and Andy was a great host.

Thank you to Andy and family for sharing your home! It is a peaceful, private and absolutely gorgeous family home!
Andy shared with us a google doc full of info of the history of the property and island. We were honored to stay there before even setting foot on the property.
Our entry, close to midnight, my husband and our teens were blown away. The porch with the ocean breezes, the artist touches in every room…
This is not in any way your typical Vrbo rental, and count yourself lucky if you are able to stay in this home.
There is so much love here, and it is evident on every room, every drawer and every shelf and every stone.
As if that weren’t enough, Andy is obviously a resident and not an investor - the recommendations were all outstanding, we felt we had the “in” on the heartbeat of the island - thanks Andy! Enough so that the family said, “Well, if Andy says it’s good, it’s going to be amazing!” How great to have your own personal tour guide. And he was prompt with anything he could offer to enhance our stay!
Of course we all come for the beach but…hit the backyard at sunset - heaven! Enjoy the peace of the marsh evenings and the setting sun! This is something you don’t get oceanfront, and I’m starting to appreciate the second row! Great spot for my husband and I to unwind on our own!
Beachfront three houses down - not even a walk! Accesses the beach on this island are well established. Also, displaying the rules in opportune spots definitely keeps the cleanliness and reverence to their stewardship of this island.
Plenty of places to explore, my almost-out-of-the-house teen daughter and I had some lifetime memories exploring .
Oh, I could go on and on, rent this home, you will be changed by it!
