Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
We love the relaxed nature of Folly. Basically, we love the beach and really wanted a home on the water. The hassle of finding a parking space and dragging beach gear back and forth is eliminated when you can walk out the door and be on the sand with the convenience of an outdoor shower whenever you want.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We ride bikes on the beach, have bonfires at night (with a permit), grill on the deck, fish, go crabbing, surf, spend time with friends and family. Oyster roasts are great under the house. The Surf Bar and Taco Boy are great restaurants and very close. Woody's delivers delicious wood fired pizza and Dolphin deli delivers great sandwiches. There is a small grocery on the island called Bert's where you can find pints of Ben and Jerry's ice cream,etc.
Charleston is only 17 minutes away so it is very convenient to go to the city for a completely different experience.

Christmas Vacation

Our family stayed here right after Christmas. 2 teen boys, 2 younger kids (12 & 7), 2 sets of parents and 2 grandparents. There was plenty of room for all of us and everyone was very happy here. Great gathering places & also plenty of spots for privacy when wanted. Bathroom layout was very nice too! The loft is much bigger then we were expecting and it was a favorite spot with all the kids. The porch was inviting and a favorite spot with everyone over the vacation! Great location - walking distance to the pier one way and the river the other way. We've stayed at many folly beach houses over several years and they all have + and -. This was one of our favorites!!! Not all the beds appeared to be queens but no one complained. We had trouble with the dishwasher (door wouldn't go all the way down due to fridge being in the way & wouldn't finish whole cycle without pressure on the door to stay shut). But, like I said, all houses have their own quirks. It's a GREAT house, very welcoming.
Recommended for:Girls getaway, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.
Great Family Fun at Folly!

Our family rented "Polly's Folly," as my 92-year-old Dad wanted to visit the ocean once more. If you're looking for a comfortable, roomy home right on the beach, we wholeheartedly recommend planning a stay at this home. We had 9 adults (ages 35-92), and 2 children (ages 4 & infant) in our group; the house sleeps 12. The kitchen's roomy and well-equipped. We opted for the linens so we didn't have to bring our own - there were plenty of pillows. Both the screened-in porch and deck off the back of the house are comfortable and afford GREAT ocean views - the ocean's just a short walk down the steps from the home. This is a wonderful home in which to relax, just hang out and enjoy your family - or friends. We would definitely go back if we get the chance!! Recommended are: visits to the Morris Island lighthouse, aquarium in Charleston, Irvin House Vineyard on Wadmalaw Island (a most unique vineyard), and a plantation (previously visited Boone Hall). One son loved kayaking beyond the marina off Folly Beach Road. Both the Folly Beach Shrimp Company and Rita's have great food, outside patios and are recommended.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, sightseeing, families with young children.
