About this house rental

Our home is perfect for vacations with family or friends. Over the last 12 months we have installed new floors, new carpets, new kitchen countertops, a new dining room table, all new exterior decking and more!

Our home is a private 3 bedroom, 3 bath home, sleeps up to 10. Hidden away amongst the trees on a marsh-front lot with crabbing/kayaking dock, Lowcountry Folly boasts ocean views from the upper screen porch and easy beach access across the street. Close by you can find outstanding surfing at the Washout, and Charleston is a short drive away.

There are dual master suites, one with a king bed, sitting area, it's own TV and another with a queen bed and en suite bathroom. The 3rd BR has 2 sets of bunk beds (sleeps 4) and is adjacent to a large bathroom w/ shower and tub: perfect for families or a girls/guys weekend away. There's also a super-comfy full/queen air sofa-bed in the living room to sleep an additional 1-2 guests. The house has an open floor with a large dining table that easily seats 8-10, and a separate kitchen eating area. Front and back decks provide for outdoor dining and a Weber gas grill sits on the front deck. A screen porch above the rear master BR has incredible 360 views of the ocean, marsh, Morris Island lighthouse, Long Island River and Lighthouse Creek, Charleston Harbor and the most amazing sunsets you've ever seen. Large open back yard with private dock for crabbing, launching your kayak, or just watching the sunset and marsh wildlife.

Numerous amenities, including 3 flat screen HD TVs equipped with local channels, sling, Netflix, 3 Roku remotes, outdoor speakers, and high-speed internet. The house has also been recently re-painted and re-decorated. Fully equipped, completely remodeled kitchen with Bosch dishwasher and microwave, basic spices, and all the cookware you need for a simple breakfast or an all-out low-country boil.

Public beach access is across the street, and the location at Folly's NE end means sparsely populated, lush beaches, and outstanding surfing and surfcasting. We are 3 miles from center street so you’ll be able to fully relax at our quiet home. You're a short walk or bike ride from the NE end of the island and up-close views of the famous Morris Island lighthouse. A short bike ride in the other direction puts you at the restaurants, shops, and bars along Center Street, the Folly Pier, or the iconic 24/7 Bert's Market for some organic vegetables, a bottle of wine, or a growler of one of your favorite microbrews. Downtown Charleston is a short 25 minute drive in the car, making Folly Beach Escape the perfect location for visitors looking to experience a little of bit of everything Charleston and the South Carolina coast have to offer.

This house worked perfect for our family! Convenient location to beach with everything we needed for our stay. This end of Folly is much nicer and quiet than into town but also an easy ride to get to the hustle and bustle for shopping and eating. Would stay here again the sunsets on the marsh are unbeatable!

This was the perfect spot for our family (Two sets of grandparents plus us and our toddler). The pictures are accurate and the living room/dining room area is so spacious, perfect for hanging out and having meals! The rooms were all great with their own bathrooms, and we loved the crows nest feature above the primary bedroom :) It was literally a one minute walk to the beach, which made our visit so convenient and able to come and go as we please. The neighborhood is quiet and lovely! We hope to come back again soon.

We loved this location as it is a bit calmer traffic than closer to town. There were a few details about the house that needed addressing and the owner appreciated the feedback. The view of the marsh? Spectacular! And a fun dock to try crabbing or catch minnows for fishing. Three bathrooms for the three bedrooms were definitely a plus. The open living room was a great chill space whether one was in the kitchen or in front of the TV.

We went for the July 4th week, the house was adorable and fit us and our family comfortably. We felt like we were at home the entire week. The view of the marsh was better than we expected, pictures do not do it justice! It was just a short walk to the beach and it was quiet since were away from the center of town and close to the lighthouse.

This home is modern and well maintained. The owner is very responsive to questions and quick to address any issues that may pop up. They are ready to accept responsibility and find ways to make your stay a great one. I would have, perhaps, liked to have a few more extra linens available. The decks, front and rear, are very nice and new and the kitchen is excellent and well equipped. The beach access is quite near and the walk is only a couple of minutes. Enjoy!
