About this house rental

Be sure to watch the video in the Photos Section. It's a complete walk-through showing each room - great space and privacy. We've done a lot of recent updates with two new huge sectional reclining couches, and a awesome surround-sound move theatre (this is not shown on the video)…new paint, etc.

Testimonials:

"We've stayed at several oceanfront vacation rentals throughout the country..."Bella Villa" sits by itself with no one in front or to either side. Look to your left and right: all you'll see is water, waves, and sand. Nothing In Charleston's Folly Beach offered this much comfort, so much space, and privacy. Felt like we lived on the water for a week with no next-door neighbors. Exhilarating! Out of 5 stars, I'd give this magical dwelling a 6. Extreme luxury and class. How can I reserve the rooftop for a graduation party? Truly rare to find such a spacious home with elegant furnishings, this private and right on the water. We'll be back" - Adrien Brody 2016


"Priceless experience - soothing waves were with us every second! As close as we could get to the water - worth every penny. The best privacy in Folly. Comfort inside and comfort on all the decks and patios. Spacious, clean, and endless ocean water views. No neighbors looking in the window. PRIVATE PARADISE!
Our sons surfed directly in front of the kitchen. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!"
- The McKenzie's


"We had our own private sandy beach as this home offers just the right distance away from the pier, restaurants, and shops (away from the crowds). From every room, we witnessed BEAUTY. So hard leaving this paradise. Owners spared no expense in furnishing this place. Truly a fancy home with classy decor. The different levels, all with HUGE patio space, was most impressive. And the rooftop is what I picture HEAVEN to be."
- Caldwell's

"At high tide, the water comes right up to the house. No need to ever turn the TV on (although everyone had their own flatscreen). The home sits in front of the neighbors on both sides, so offers solace and wonderful isolated privacy. Was great not to deal with the busy crowds closer to the pier and town. The privacy this close to the water is impressive. We had 12 for a week, and it felt comfortable for everyone. This home has it all. We've stayed several times."

We rented this house for our first stay in Folly. The house was literally steps from the water. The sound of the ocean can be heard throughout the house. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

The home is spacious and was great for our large group. The location was wonderful as well - right on the beach and away from the crowds. The highlight was hearing the ocean when we went to sleep at night. The only downside was the home does need a little TLC but this was reflected in the price paid. And it is the beach after all. But a good time was had by all!

This is our second visit to this house. We have been coming to Folly for vacation for a long time and this is our favorite rental. Amazing property with an awesome host! Hope to come back next year for a third time.

The house, layout and location were perfect! There are some cosmetic difficulties, but given the fairness of price, I will not complain. Our only concern was that the master shower did not drain. One of the sinks did not drain and there’s some broken/torn up wood under the home that was unsafe. There was also trash left in the trash cans on the roof from the prior Tenants.

We had several dates we were celebrating....birthday, graduations, anniversaries and semi-retirement! This was the perfect choice. The house is right on the beach! Walk down 11 steps and you're in the water! We didn't see but a few other people which was a welcoming treat! We had plenty of room and the accomodations worked well!
