Smiles everyone! Welcome to Fantasy Island Folly! A giant beach home with something for everyone! A one minute walk will take you right to the beach. Watch our video!

In order to watch the video you need to actually scroll through the photos, not the thumbnails, but the full-size photos on a desktop. The video will show up after the virtual tour as photo number four..

Just added level two EV charger!

It’s hard to know where to begin when describing Fantasy Island because it has so much to offer. When you first arrive, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a Nicholas Sparks romance novel. The house has a large winding driveway that can accommodate up to 10 cars and is surrounded by palm trees and iconic southern oaks, providing you with seclusion and privacy. From there, you’ll be greeted by the welcoming covered porch. Before even unpacking, you’ll want to drop your cares and spend some time sipping an iced tea while catching up on some gossip or that book you finally have time to finish.

What are you waiting for? Pack up the kids, phone your friends and plan your next escape to our exclusive and spacious beach house just outside of one of America’s most idyllic beach towns and the historic city of Charleston.

Cooking and Dining

This property is ideal for gathering your family and friends, with its spacious three-floor layout and massive kitchen fully equipped and well-stocked to serve the whole crew. With a kitchen like this, the cooks in the family will inevitably be inspired to settle in and make some culinary magic on its granite countertops, with brand-new appliances and a gas stove. Undoubtedly the kitchen will become the hub of the home where everyone can gather around the table to help prepare meals and sit around the large family dining table located in the sunroom. There’s also plenty of room in the private backyard for barbecuing and dining outdoors.

Living Spaces

This beach house has all the nostalgia of yesteryear but is loaded with modern amenities to make your stay comfortable and entertaining. We’ve equipped it with lightning-fast wifi so you can catch up on emails and upload your Insta-worthy photos. There are also four TVs connected to Comcast throughout the home, with a massive flat screen in the living room just above the cozy gas fireplace for a family movie night. Who’s bringing the popcorn?

From the second and third floor, you’ll also have a peak of the ocean’s emerald water, and from the front porch, you can enjoy a nightly display of cotton candy-colored sunsets.

Sleeping Accommodations

The sleeping accommodations are just another way this home shines. With six bedrooms and three and a half baths, there is space for up to 16 guests to stay and sleep comfortably.

Located on the main floor is the master suite with a comfortable king-size poster bed and ensuite that offers a double vanity. You can also enjoy the jet tub with a glass of wine after a day at the beach or on the town in Charleston.

The second floor also has a master bedroom with a private ensuite and a double vanity. Two more sizable bedrooms are located on the second floor with queen-sized beds that share a four-piece bathroom.

Bedrooms five and six are located on the third floor with three twin beds and a sleeper sofa in one and two queen size beds in the other. This roomy and bright space is the perfect spot for kids. Parents on the main floor, kids upstairs - everyone’s happy!

Also provided are a large washer and dryer to help you stay on top of wet towels and laundry.

Things To Know

Should you wish to bring your dog, please notify the owner and pay the pet fee of $200 per dog. Cats are prohibited.

Are you planning an event? We’d love to accommodate you if you’re planning a small event of up to 25 people. Our unique location at the end of a cul de sac and gorgeous untouched marshland surrounding the backyard makes it a terrific place to hold intimate weddings, family reunions, milestone celebrations or anything else you’re celebrating. Please remember that we must approve all events that exceed our maximum of 16 guests. For events, a “party fee” will be applied. Feel free to reach out to us if you’re interested, and we’d be happy to answer any questions.

We have also adopted the Covid-19 protocols that the CDC has set out for your health and safety. When you stay with us, you can be confident that we have paid particular attention to the disinfecting of all high touch surfaces, proper cleaning of all linens and the use of highly effective cleaning products.

What’s Nearby?

Folly Beach is a dreamy destination. Located on Folly Island, just to the south of Charleston, Folly Beach is 6 miles of uncommercialized oceanfront with pristine beaches and stunning emerald water. Our beautiful beach house is conveniently tucked away at the end of a gravel road on a private cul de sac. When we found it, we instantly fell in love with it here, not only because of the beauty of the home but because of its incredible location. In less than a mile walk, you can find yourself in the exciting little beach town, named as one of America’s “last true beach towns.” You’ll love its easy-breezy slow pace, boho boutiques and delicious restaurants serving up some delicious seafood.

If you’ve set your sights on spending as much time on the beach and the water, you’ll be overwhelmed by the options available to you, from beachside picnic areas and grills to kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding, boating and biking. Folly Beach has it all.

To top it off, we are only a short drive to the picturesque historic city of Charleston. With pastel row homes, guided tours to see all the historical sites, and exciting nightlife, you’ll never be bored here. Pro tip: make sure you have a ton of room on your phone for pictures because there’s a photo opportunity around every corner here.

Perfect location, plenty of space
There were 8 of us, friends for decades. It was a great space for us; however, the 3rd floor is best for kids, as the 5th and 6th bedrooms aren’t walked off from each other. Beach access directly across the street. A nice private home. My group said we would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay at Fantasy Island Folly
We had a great time at Fantasy Island Folly! The location was perfect, in a cul de sac directly across the street from the beach! It was a 4-5 min walk and we basking in the sun and sand. There were more than enough rooms to accomodate our group. However, I do wish there was a little more fridge space for all of the food we had and a couple of my guests was hoping for a television in every room(their room did not have one). Overall, I recommend Fantasy Island Folly and would stay there again. Thank you Glenn for being a great host and for always responding so quickly. We really appreciate your hospitality.

Family vacation
We had a great time at the beach and surrounding area. We weren’t as impressed by the cleanliness of the property and lack of cleaning supplies. (We had a spill and were told to buy our own mop) The property also lacked any kind of exercise/fitness equipment, jacuzzi tub was very old and not clean.. All of the kitchen cabinets were filled so there was no where for our groceries. Trash had not been picked up from the last visitors so it was terribly smelly and overfill. Just expected better for the price and based on other reviews

Great Beach Getaway!
House was clean and spacious. Right across from a public beach! It is walkable to downtown, although it’s about a mile. We did have a bit of trouble finding Ubers to downtown Charleston, which we did not expect. But overall the house was comfortable and clean. Only complaint is there was no salt or pepper for cooking, which is not typically something I bring or buy on a trip. Overall, very pleased!

Wedding weekend
We had a large group of family and friends for my daughters wedding this weekend in Charleston. Easy and quick trip to the Port of Charleston, beach access across the street, close enough to the establisments downtown to walk but secluded enough your not bothered by noise, clean, kitchen stocked to prepare meals for 16+ people. Very accommodating for a large party.

fantastic location, great water pressure, lots of beds, very clean!
The house is as pictured and location is fantastic, it does need to be refreshed, the couch is not great to sit on as some of the cushions go mostly to the floor and make it hard to get up. The run in the main area has many pulled strands, the back porch has a fantastic table and couch but the sliding door glass has all lost its seals and does not look great. It is reasonably priced compared to others in the area.

exactly as advertised
We stayed here with a large family group and the place served our purposes very well. The house is just across the road from a beautiful beach which was not crowded at all. You get a lot of bang for your buck--this place was several thousand dollars less than other large houses and/or places with beach access like this. The house is not high end, it is a little worn (carpets were stained, couch has seen better days) but given the price and location that was ok with us. Also note that the house had only starter supplies of basics such as toilet paper, soap, detergent etc. Again, the amount you spend on these items pales in comparison to the good deal you get on the house. Also, the house does not come with beach towels or chairs. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and pots and pans, well set up for cooking. Glenn was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The house was exactly as advertised and I would definitely recommend.

Plenty of room right near the beach!
The property is a very short walk to the public beach access and there was plenty of room for our group of 10--not only in terms of driveway space, but also the many bedrooms, large living room, front and back porches, etc. We had lots of space to hang around, cook for the group, and toss a football around. The walk to the main street in Folly was probably about 15 minutes and very straightforward. Very quiet neighborhood and as the title of this review suggests VERY close to the beach!
