About this house rental

Turtle Watch BEACH FRONT - owner managed.
5 bedrooms and 3 full baths large beautifully spacious and very comfortable home. It has spectacular sunrises and moon-rises over the pier with full view of the Ocean, all from the screened-in porch off the Main living room floor. The screened in porch is really the focal point for any beach front home....No Bugs! It has composite decking so also very nice on the feet and good for babies to crawl on as well. The hammock on the screened in porch is a must of course. Nothing like a nap to sounds of the ocean!

Turtle Watch Beach House is far enough away from town to hear the ocean sing yet so close with a 10min walk to town. In the summer May - October Sea Turtles arrive on Folly Beach to nest for hundreds of years right in the backyard. It's an amazing site to witness quietly!

Turtle Watch is beautifully decorated with updated furniture and decor from beach spots all over the globe. The furnishing and decor give this home a very comfortable homey vibe. There are several areas to tuck away and relax with a book, sway in 1 of 2 hammocks, gather for games or just be in the moment from the upstairs library, (2) sundecks, screened in porch, office area or one of the three seating areas on the main level or two seatings area on the ground level. Or maybe, let Melanie know you would like to arrange to rent a golf cart, or bikes, and have them ready upon your arrival for nice stroll over the 4 miles of Folly Beach, the closest beach to Charleston Downtown, 15mins!

Turtle Watchs' (5) bedrooms are also fully appointed with a TV in every sleeping room, with HBO and Starz. Beds are (2) Kings (2) Queens (1) twin/double bunk (1) day bed and are all very comfortable with GOOD mattresses, good thread linens and "non - lumpy" pillows with four on every bed. (2) sets of bath, hand and face towels in each room.

Kitchen is opened up all the way around a gas stove top in the island for easy cooking. With a kitchen that is fully stocked with all the kitchenware imaginable: blenders, choppers, toasters, 12 cup coffee, 1 cup Kuerig, baking and roasting dishes, pots, pans, casserole dishes. Plus place settings, cutlery and glassware, for 14ppl. Owner loves cooking and entertaining. You should want for nothing.

Turtle Watch Beach House provides ample beach and activity accessories. (4) beach chairs, (2) umbrellas, (8) Beach towels, an array of beach buckets, pales, shovels for building sandcastles, beach paddle ball, (4) frisbees, and a tub of baby water toys including an a small baby pool!

The private beach access walkway is key to a beach front home. Owner put in an IPE wood beach access boardwalk to the beach. What does this means its a brazilian hardwood with very smooth surfaces so NO SPLINTERS! Yippie! It's very nice on the feet as apposed to old cracking wood decks.

The two sun decks, one on the 3rd floor for privacy and one along the Board Walk between the house and the beach are a great seating area or for private sun bathing areas.

Historic Charleston is within an easy 15 minute driving distance. Downtown Charleston has an outstanding array of Cuisine, Harbor Dining, Roof Top Dining, and of course Causal Dining. Tip: Seafood is fresh and definitely a must to sample. The market section in Downtown is sure to please any avid shopper. Charleston has several Historic Plantations and Gardens nearby. Also, the lovely Towns of Beaufort, SC and Savannah, GA are only one hour by car and offers the most beautiful Low Country settings.

Turtle Watch rents weekly only Saturday to Saturday.

Get into the Folly low key vibe with this beauty of a rental. Easy access and perfect location make this a wonderfully peaceful family vacation. We chose to cook some evenings in the well-appointed kitchen and other times to walk/bike to a neat local hang for lunch or happy hr. Folly still has the local flavor of long ago! We loved everything about the week. This home made it so easy. We especially loved the sunrises on the balcony watching the surfers in the waves. Fun!

Well, our trip didn’t go quite as planned due to Hurricane/Tropical Storm Debby. That being said, the two days that we were there were perfect. Melanie had plenty of accessories to have an enjoyable time on the beach as well as games to play while indoors. Communication with her was top notch especially with the storm approaching. I would highly recommend this property for a relaxing beach vacation.

Had a wonderful family reunion at this beach house! I’ve stayed at several beach over the years at Folly and this one surpasses all of them. This house checks all of the boxes. CLEAN (inside and out), great screen porch, no hot water issues, perfect kitchen with everything you need, comfortable mattresses. and all of those extras for beach in case you forget something. Also it was just nice to be close to Center St but not too close. Loved it! Thank you Melanie and housekeepers for hospitality! 😊

This is a wonderful location for 3 generation family fun. We stayed at Turtle Watch in 2022 and happy to return. The house is especially clean, and well equipped. There is a kayak, ping pong table, outside games, beach chairs, sand castle building buckets, coolers, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. The beach is great for swimming, amateur surfing, boogie boarding, sand castles, sitting. The screened in porch across the back with hammock is where we hung out when not on the beach. The owner is responsive, available, and communicative. Turtle Watch is a great choice for your vacation.

Our stay at Turtle Watch exceeded our hopes and expectations. The home is located on the beach with a beautiful screened back porch that we enjoyed daily. The walkway to the beach is well maintained and made it easy to access the beach. Outdoor shower right on the walkway for easy rinse off before going into the home. The kitchen had everything we needed to enjoy a few nights of cooking in. We had fun sitting in the open den area playing games at night as a family. Owner checked on us the day after we arrived. I would highly recommend this location and home for a family vacation.
