Welcome to Bacon in the Sun! This 4BR/2BA beach house sleeps 8 and is one of our more unique properties. It is the most oceanfront property on Folly without being oceanfront! Located on the 17th block of the East Side of the island, guests enjoy a more relaxing, family oriented and laid-back portion of the beach. With ocean views and beach access in every direction, you will be more than happy with this awesome beach house!
Featuring gorgeous hardwood floors throughout the entire house and a fully equipped, spacious, entertaining kitchen, that consists of a giant wrap around peninsula with an island, this house has it all! It also includes a gas range, more than enough counter space for preparing meals for family and friends and seating for 8 around the kitchen table plus 4 additional bar stools off the kitchen counter.

There is something for everyone here. We promise you will Folly in love with this beautiful island!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Folly Beach stay. Perfect location and accommodations.
4.7
House was exactly as described. Had everything we could possibly need. Kitchen is very large. Very nice that bedrooms can be closed off from main living area. Access to the beach is great and view is fantastic. Weather was poor for us but the house allowed us to take advantage of nice spurts since the beach was right beneath you. Fantastic property
4.7
Great Family house!! We loved our stay in this spacious home. The kitchen was huge and equipped with anything you might need, including separate wet bar. Great views of the beach and ocean from the living area as well as the large deck area. We especially loved that the master was separated from the other bedrooms. We stayed with our daughter and son in law and their three kids 6 and under. This house was perfect!
4.7
Perfect for family spacious with great views deck needs A little tlc but fabulous
4.7
Amazing beach front location. We liked being further down Folly where it was especially quiet. There is a home in front between you and the beach but plenty of ocean views. Well stocked kitchen for cooking. It is a loved beach home with some wear, but clean enough for two families with young children. We would come back!

My husband and I stayed in this lovely beach cottage for 2 months and truly hated to leave. The home itself reflects the causal beach vibe that makes Folly Beach so special. A fully stocked kitchen, plenty of room and storage, gas top cooking, Jennair griddle, cute beach decor, amazing beach facing deck with shaded and sunny options and beautiful adirondack deck furniture are just a FEW of the great features. This spot provides direct beach access and views of kite-surfers and the beautiful beach. Ocean Rentals was extremely responsive to a few maintenance issues that arose and even responded to non-critical issues after hours. Way above and beyond. We couldn't have picked a more chill and lively spot.
MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure hosting your group and we hope that you stay with us again, next time you visit Folly Beach!

Simply amazing. Well equipped and very comfortable home. Location can't be beat. Host was very pleasant to work with and extremely accommodating. We were aware of home in front of house however we were very pleased and surprised how much more oceanfront view we had.
We'll definitely go back. Highly recommended.
4.7
Space and proximity to the beach were great! Great outdoor furniture with plenty of comfortable options! Kitchen could use some updates (especially the faucet) and a good overall cleaning and reorganization of the cabinets.
Response from MOR: Thank you for your review and feedback, we will pass your suggestions onto the owner. It was a pleasure hosting your group and we hope you choose MyOceanRental for your next Folly Beach adventure.

This large bright rustic house is on the beach but has a home in front of it, however there are windows on all sides with great views of the ocean. The master bedroom does not have an adjoining bathroom, but its a few steps away. There is another larger bedroom and room with twins that share a bath on the other side. The beds in the twin room are very uncomfortable, and my kids had to sleep on the couch because of this. The kitchen is large with alot of room for different family members to prep, but water pressure in the sink was extremely low. There is a separate wet bar area, next to large family room, with an electric fire place that says "do not use" on the switch. The family room opens out to covered unscreened deck/porch which has steps leading down to beach. There is a small weber grill under the house and an open outside shower. This house has alot of potential but needs some investment to get to outstanding.
Response from MOR: Thank you for your review and feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed the great views! We are taking your other recommendations to the owner and do hope you stay with us for your next Folly Beach adventure!!
4.7
We all loved the location of the house - just steps from the beach and on the end of Folly Beach close to the light house. The outside of the house looks great, but the inside needs some major updates.
From MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review. This home was just purchased by its new owners and they are currently working to renovate it. They did the outside first to make sure the beach front property was secured from the weather and will be working on the inside soon. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and we hope that you stay with us again, next time you visit Folly Beach.

We had eight “senior “ women at the red house “ Bacon in the Sun”. Except for the stairs on arrival and a little uneven tripping hazard on the porch level we absolutely loved our beach house! We had plenty of room and took advantage of the beautiful ocean views from both outside and inside. The bathrooms had separate “water “ closets so that was helpful for so many.The kitchen is well equipped and has separate prep ( with another sink) at the bar area.
There are plenty of closets and places to store. The dishwasher needs to be replaced at some point but it works. The beds and bedroom were good no one complained. One thing to watch the tile floors in bathrooms are very slippery when wet, be careful😉
The house is a bit dated but that's what gives it that beachy charm. Large open living area with lots of natural light.
The entrance to beach is just down the steps and between the two homes in front. It's only three miles back to “ town “ if you need some supplies. The beach is wide and very level, great for walking or riding bikes.
We're already making plans to go again next year and we would definitely stay in the “red house” again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bacon in the Sun! We have young children and everything was perfect about this house: access to the beach, the supplies and amenities in the house, the cleanliness, the spacious living areas, and the large kitchen! It was the perfect Beachy House and a great getaway. The beach was quiet and not crowded. We easily walked to the end of the island with the lighthouse. We found shells galore. We would definitely choose this rental again in the future.
From MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay! It was a pleasure hosting your group and we look forward to hosting your group again, next time you visit Folly Beach.

The house itself was as shown in the photos and it was basically beach front with just one house between it and the beach but about as close as you could get to the ocean. Only issue was when we checked in the cleaning crew had done a poor job and the management team told us they would come back that day but never did. They also left the trashcan totally full under the house and no one ever came to take that out until 3 days later. We also called about wasps but no one ever came. The house was good but the cleaning crew was not. Only comment on the house is that if you have elderly or handicapped people the showers are hard to get in and out of because they are both tub showers. For younger people this would not be an issue. One big positive is the location is great because it is at the end of the beach so not as crowded and tight as the place located near the main section.

We loved the house, which was steps to the peaceful end of Folly. We had several large family dinners which the kitchen/dining area easily accommodated. The bedrooms were all good sized and freshly decorated. We will be back!

Our stay at Folly Beach was amazing. The weather was a little cool due to hurricane Ian. The beach was very private and very dog friendly. Took my 11 year old black lab for her first beach experience. She loved it!! We would definitely stay here again.

This was a spacious and comfortable house for a family get together. The house was clean and comfortable and nice proximity to the beach. We really loved the oversized kitchen. Plenty of room to spread out. We would stay here again.

Could not ask for a better better beach house or location for our 1st family vacation since summer 2019 (pre-Covid). Bacon in the Sun is spacious, open, well-appointed, with fully equipped kitchen. Instructions we're clear, helpful and owners responded promptly to our texts. 5 stars all around.

This was our first time using vrbo and had a positive experience. The entire process from start to finish was easy, all the information we needed was sent timely. The house was just as advertised and exactly what we were looking for.

My Brother and his family came into town for a visit. We rented this property on Folly Beach. Property was nice, but we received a text the first text stating we exceeded a noise level after Midnight on the 22nd, morning of the 23rd. Only problem was we were in bed at the time. On the 27th, we received 2 text messages stating we had exceeded the noise limit and it was around 6:00PM. My wife and I were the only ones there at the time and were on the back deck watching the storm and the waves. Then we received a phone call. I explained to the woman that it was only my wife and I present at this time and we are watching the waves. She could hear the wind in the phone. Told her this was not the first time we received the text and she told me she receives the alerts of 3 then has to call. Explained it was only my wife and I, she said she was only doing her job. Property needs a new monitoring device if they must use one. The rental right next to us had at least 7 kids and 4 adults that were always loud, but that didn't bother us. What did was the bogus text messages from the Property Management. We will never stay at another VRBO property again. If it wasn't for these texts and the phone call, we would stay at that property every 6 months.

I will say I was a little nervous about staying that far down on Folly since I was bringing my children with me however it turned out to be the perfect location. Not only was the house super accessible to the beach it was also one of the best stocked houses I’ve stayed in I would definitely stay here again

The layout of the house was perfect for a little kids which is what we needed. Just the right amount of privacy if you’re traveling with a grandparent or if you want a little privacy with a full bathrooms and bedrooms on either side of the kitchen. Laundry is very convenient and the living room space was perfect for us. Proximity to the beach is great. You really can’t get any closer than this! The only downside was the cleanliness of the tubs. The tub in the master bathroom was quite gross and the jacuzzi filters were covered with gunk. Nobody was planning on taking a bath so it wasn’t a huge deal but definitely needed to be cleaned. The kitchen in bedrooms were quite clean however and the kitchen was fully stocked with any utensil or dish you could think of.
