Gorgeous Sunsets! Private, Marsh-front Folly Home. 60 second walk to the beach.

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.

We loved the location and the beautiful marsh views
Drinking coffee and watching the sun rise in the crows nest was so peaceful and breathtaking. We loved the fact that we had a yard for the kiddos. Owners were responsive and overall the house was as advertised. We had a great trip and will consider renting this place again.

Adorable Cottage
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.

Our second visit and equally wonderful
The home is beautiful and well-maintained. It was clean and comfortable. I appreciated the basic supplies that were provided to get us started. The shed is full of beach supplies. Check there before you buy anything. The location allowed easy access to downtown Folly Beach and Charleston area activities. It was so nice to be away from the crowded parts of the beach. We would love to come back here!

Relaxing Time
Overall a great place to stay if you want a relaxing time at the beach. The house is located on the far side of the island which is much less crowded, especially the beach. The house was clean and comfortable. Absolutely no complaints. I would definitely recommend.

Perfect family spot
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.

Great, comfortable home in perfect location
The house is a remodeled older house with lots of charm and a few minor and fixable issues. The owners are easy to communicate with. The location on the marsh with very short walk to the beach was perfect. We felt relaxed and at home in an affordable house. We had two adult couples but the house would have been great for a family with kids. King, queen, and 4 singles with three bathrooms gave us more than enough room.

Great view, great location
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.

Great Beach House
Great week on Folly. The house is located across the street from the beach, easy access. House had plenty of room for the 7 of us adults, 3 bathrooms which was great. The gas grill was great for preparing fresh seafood. Kitchen was setup with everything we needed; even a big pot for a seafood boil. Emily the owner was was very responsive and checked in with me throughout the week. The new deck was great, especially the marsh view in the back. They even had beach gear available for guests to use.

Near the end of Folly
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!

Great Spring Break Stay
House is in a great location near the lighthouse/east end of the island. We rented bikes for our teens who rode both the 3 miles to town and the 300 yard ride to the end of the island. The weather was a bit overcast during our stay but the view of sunset is my favorite at Folly and this home has a great perch from which to view it! There is a beach access path just 4 driveways down. We had 4 teens who were able to spread out in the 2 extra bedrooms and mom & dad enjoyed the master. The beds were very comfortable and the roomy living room and kitchen allowed us to all be together comfortably. Highly recommended!

Amazing Refuge at Folly
Our family spent one month in this amazing place. The house was just what we needed to unwind and connect with each other. It has everything you need. Every night we enjoyed the sunsets in the crow’s nest or on the back porch. The side deck was perfect for grilling out. And we all loved the backyard and dock in the beautiful marsh. We have little kids so having the beach just 3-5 minutes away was so perfect. We all love to surf and we were not disappointed by the fun waves only steps from our door. Our only complaint was that we didn’t stay longer. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful home with us! We are already planning a time to come back.

Perfect for a Family. Casual and Comfortable Beach House
We had a lovely time at this property. The setting was perfectly situated overlooking the marsh and across the street from the beach. The back deck was large and breezy. And the Crow's Nest was a great way to end each day watching the sunset over the marsh. The entrance, family room, dining room and kitchen are open and plenty spacious for our family of five, and all the windows provided great natural light. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. The beds were plenty comfortable. There was an issue with the air conditioning in the master bedroom. It was quickly resolved by the owners when we arrived. They provided a portable air unit that did the job to our satisfaction. We would definitely stay here again, and may do just that.

Lovely location
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!

Great house!
We loved our stay here! The house was a great space for six of us to stay (4 adults, 2 kids) and could have easily accommodated two more people. Our kids loved the bunk beds and we found the other bedrooms to be quite comfortable as well! Everything is recently updated and in great condition. We like to cook and found the kitchen well-equipped for making meals at home. We also enjoyed the dock by the marsh and the extremely convenient beach access! It took about a minute to get from the house to the beach access. The owners were easy to communicate with and quick to respond when we had a question about check-in time. I would definitely recommend this house for anyone staying at Folly!

WONDERFUL
The hostess was more than amazing! Instructions were clear and concise. The kitchen was perfect …had everything we needed. Bedrooms were awesome…. My five month old grandson slept in middle bedroom because it was quiet and dark. One of his parents slept in there with him each nite. The crows nest area was great for the grownups; my daughters and I enjoyed a glass of wine up there after coming off the beach. Access is close and nice able to wheel wagons/strollers down ramp. The decks were wonderful and the two 3yr old grandsons loved seeing the crabs come out of the holes by dock. My two yr old granddaughter did also. The backyard is very nice! Only one of my daughters and her family stayed at night but we all slept really well! Hope to go back in the fall!!

Family reunion
Our daughters and their families had not seen each other in six years. We picked this property on the marsh, but so close to the beach and the Morris Lighthouse end of Folly to reunite. Our three grandchildren (10, 7 & 6) enjoyed their bedroom with its bunk beds, their parents enjoyed their individual rooms and private baths, and ALL enjoyed the Crow's Nest except for the gnats. The property has new sturdy front and back steps and it appears more work is being done on the ground level. More spoons and paring knives would be an asset to an easy to work in kitchen. We'd come back for another local reunion. And yes, there are gorgeous sunsets.
