From its perfect oceanfront location, this home just sings with incredible views, tons of character, and fantastic amenities throughout. Whether you book it for small events, family get-togethers, or just for catching up with old friends, you'll love this place - particularly all the cool things you find here, such as the ship's helm and barber's chair. Assemble all the family chefs in the full kitchen to cook up today's masterpiece, then gather in the enormous living area for cocktails, music, and great conversation. Later, head down to the water for an evening moonlight stroll and ocean surf.

The beach is mere steps from your home. Less than a mile up the beach, you'll find a popular spot for surfers known as "The Washout." Visit Shaka Surf School, one mile away, for today's lesson, or enjoy watching locals catch some of the best waves in South Carolina. Hop in the car and head to Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve, just two and a half miles away. For a small donation, you can walk or bike through the preserve to enjoy views of the Morris Island Lighthouse. Local shops, dining, and the pier are just a short drive from your front door. For those interested in exploring downtown Charleston, you'll find the historic district is waiting only 13 miles away.

Beautiful Unique Home
My family loved staying at this home. The way the home is decorated and built very uniquely. It is very welcoming. The fact that each bedroom is a master is very helpful. I would stay here again.

Awesome Trip
This was the 2nd time we’ve stayed at this house,, awesome house… only one complaint on this trip.. the 1st day we were there they had 3 dehumidifiers in the house running (lot of noise and not too pleasant to look at). We texted and told them we would like them removed, but they didn’t come until the next day..

Large, eclectic beach house

Awesome beachside home!
Was a pleasure to stay at this home. Great location with excellent beach access. You will spend hours inside the home just looking at the unique design/decor elements. Just remember to bring a hair dryer as the bathrooms don't have them.

Spacious, well stocked home
We had an incredible stay at Charisma By the Sea. Property is beautiful. The kitchen is very well stocked. The beds are comfortable. Lots of extra blankets. Very clean. Highly recommend for a large party. We had 10 guests and we all had our own spaces with plenty of space for all of us to be together. The only thing I missed was one or two loungers on the deck overlooking the ocean.

Sunrises and Ocean
We enjoyed our stay. The wall of windows in the living room area make for a spectacular view of sunrises and the ocean. We had no problem working remotely. We would recommend including step-by-step instructions regarding the elevator at the time check-in instructions are given. Step one being to check the circuit breaker upstairs near the master bedroom to ensure the elevator is switched to on. We opted not to use the elevator since we had already unloaded our stuff by the time we realized the elevator was switched off. The location was perfect for us. We would stay here again.

Wonderful Property
First, the place was exceptionally clean when we checked in which we greatly appreciated. It is just a wonderful home and location. There are a lot of stares but they also have an elevator so the stares should not be an issue. The balcony on the top floor off the "Master" bedroom provided exceptional views. Each BR has an ensuite bath so it is very conducive to hosting several families. It is dog friendly although prior occupants had not picked up after their pups. Comfortable furniture, comfortable beds and well appointed, beautiful kitchen.

Beautiful oceanfront
This home was lovely! There was always something new we noticed in the décor which is always fun. The views were perfection. Even though we had a rainy day, we were able to sit inside and watch the waves roll in and surfers brave the chill. We did have a complication with the heat and couldn’t get the main floor warmer than 60 degrees. We also had a newborn with us and we were able to communicate with the property managers but no one showed up so that was disappointing. We were only there for three nights and the sun finally came out on our last day which helped. It’s always a bit disappointing when you have a legitimate complaint and no one shows up. Without that issue, we would give it five stars!

Beautiful view and location but house has problems
Cannot beat the location. The house has been neglected. We had problems with the dishwasher, could not lock the door to the deck so our dog and toddler could push it open, the elevator that our handicapped family member needed was out of order sporadically. Televisions in bedrooms not working. Rental company did their best to help but could do just so much. Owners are not on site so we were not able to get some things fixed. For the price, we expected everything to be in working order.

Perfect home for our family Christmas
Four generations of our family, from age 2 to 82, stayed at Charisma By The Sea over the holidays. We chose the house because it met all of our requirements: large kitchen, beachfront, ensuite bathrooms for all bedrooms, elevator, and ADA bathroom. We enjoyed ocean views from the many windows in the living room, so even on the chilly days we had a front row seat to the beach. This was especially nice for my mom, who is limited in her mobility and could sit at a sunny window and enjoy the view. The house is well represented by the pictures and description. We really enjoyed the eclectic nature of the house and furnishings. The kitchen is huge and very well equipped. We did a lot of cooking and had everything we needed. The deck is large with comfortable seating. The beach is wonderful, with long stretches for running and walking, beautiful shells, starfish and sand dollars to discover, plenty of space for frisbee, and kite flying. Angel at Vacasa was extremely responsive to all of my questions, both before and after our arrival. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would return to this house in the future.

Wonderful, but know what you're getting.
First and foremost, let's talk about the location and overall charm of this beach house. It's absolutely fantastic! The house is situated in a prime spot with breathtaking views and the beach just a stone's throw away. The property exudes a unique character that makes it stand out from the rest. The kitchen is a highlight for those who love to cook and socialize. It's surprisingly well-stocked with various kitchen utensils, thanks to what seems to be contributions of previous guests. While the items might not be the best quality, they do the job and allow you to whip up some fantastic meals while enjoying the ocean view. The upper level boasts a split-level master suite with a cozy sleeping area overlooking the ocean, complete with sliding glass doors leading to a covered balcony. The other four bedrooms on the main floor each have their own bathroom, with two of them also having doors to a deck facing the ocean. Take your time to look around at all of the details. There are thousands of those charming little things either as part of the furnishings, or hanging as art. Of course, one of the most interesting pieces, what appears to be a ship’s helm fastened to the base of the staircase. Now, I can’t be sure, but it looks like the columns used for the staircase are from ships’ masts. We just loved this house! I The living area is spacious and perfect for larger groups, providing ample room for everyone to feel comfortable. Had more, but I'm out of space..

The good, the bad, and the ugly.
The good. Beautiful ocean front views. Easy access to beach. Spacious primary bedroom with large walk in closet. The bad. The dishwasher leaks and does not clean dishes. The main floor elevator door safety latch does not work which, when opened, exposes the elevator shaft and a dangerous drop off. The door handle on the beach side of the house is broken and the locking mechanism does not work. The ugly. Bugs, that look like tiny cockroaches, occupy the kitchen sink area at night. Broken lamp in main bedroom. Many light bulbs need to be replaced. More generally, the layout of the house is excellent. The four main level bedrooms each have private baths. There is also a lovely powder room and an outdoor bathroom. The ocean views are beautiful. The main living area is spacious but only has soft seating for 5 people. Having rented many beachfront homes at Folly over the years, I found this house to be a poor value. The cost of our five night stay was around 8K. I expected a well maintained home for that amount.
