Under the house is a picnic table and colorful rug, lines to hang wet towels and a Rubbermaid storage shed with beach equipment. Bikes and golf carts are available for rent within walking distance.Enjoy Historical Charleston, Outlet Mall, the beach and the many year round events!
'On A Whim', its a great destination for all!
Favorite activities include long days on the beach, walking to town for coffee, ice cream or meals ( favorite restaurant is Lost Dog for breakfast/lunch, music/bar/food the Washout, best happy hour is Snapper Jacks, for burgers is Irish Pub and yummy Mexican and margaritas at Taco Boy).

Folly Beach has numerous street festivals throughout the year which allows you to enjoy your quiet vacation home but still walk to all the festivities.

Charleston also boasts a wonderful aquarium, tours of surrounding plantations and an array of special festivals year round to include Jazz, Arts, Culinary, Fashion, Animal and more!

Immaculate,Well Appointed Home!: This home is a second family home which is only rented up to 12 weeks a year. We come about once a month and do a deep clean to keep the house pristine. The home and yard is immaculately professionally maintained. The decor is quality furniture with a casual but colorful Charleston motif with a handful of family antiques accents. The home is stilted with two gracious southern front porches with rocking chairs plus a enclosed under level with a outdoor shower( with shampoo and body wash provided) and bikes. The interior is two levels with living space on the main level featuring Brazilian hardwood floors and an open floor plan. The living room features a denim sofa with double chairs and ottomans, flat screen tv open to the well appointed kitchen.

The dining room seats 6 plus has numerous stools for extra seating. The dining also has table mats, serving pieces and games in the cabinet. The laundry room has beach towels and blanket. Half bath too! We love our under the house private hot/cold outdoor shower- it is just glorious! Under the house is also a bin with beach chairs and beach toys.

Bedrooms Plus Games and Reading Material: The upper level features a master suite with luxury bath( dual sinks, separate shower and soaking tub and private toilet) plus a second bath ( new bath with walk in shower) and two additional bedrooms. The bedrooms all have top of the line Beautyrest and Serta mattresses, many with pillow tops and feature a King, Queen, and the third bedroom has bunk beds and a trundler. The walkways are Brazilian hardwood with sisal wall to wall in the bedrooms. The . Closets are plentiful! A separate hallway opens to the second level porch with rocking chairs which is incredibly private sitting high surrounded by oak branches. Games are provided in the dining room cabinet. The second bedroom has a bookcase full of books. Magazines of all types are in the magazine basket on the main level and Charleston maps, restaurants and information are located in the information rack on the wall in the living room and on the cork board in the kitchen.

For your convenience, paper towels, toilet paper, laundry and dish soap, salt and pepper plus some spices are provided. Beach towels are available, but need to be be washed and returned to the bin. Beach chairs and toys are under the house. The goal is a home away from home. Enjoy!

Perfect location for Town and Beach
The home was as described with all that was needed for our stay including ample towels for bath and beach. Comfy beds, great AC as well as overhead fans and great outdoor shower for getting off sand. Very good kitchen supplies. Our only issue was the mildew odor upon entering the house which was perhaps post hurricane but could use some attention. Owner gave great house directions as well as restaurant recommendations. Hope to come back!

Great family house
My family and I had a wonderful time at On-A-Whim. Cary was a great host, her place was clean and in a wonderful location. The under house shower and picnic table made coming and going from the beach super easy. We will definitely be back!

Great place and great location
All aspects met and exceeded our expectations! I would say its slightly nicer than what the pictures show! It is very clean, modern and is in a great location and it's well appointed. There were a few things in play prior tour arrival and the owner helped us and made it seamless. We hghly recommend and will stay there again the next time we are in Folly.

About the host

Hosted by Cary Fichtner-Vu

Host profile image
We are a family from Virginia with 4 children, 4 grandchildren
( hopefully more on the way) and this is our family's treasured second home. Our eldest daughter attended College of Charleston and we all fell in love with the charm of Historical Charleston and the lifestyle of the low country. Our daughter married and has a child, living a couple of blocks away. We are here almost once a month to enjoy family and to make sure the house remains pristine, well maintained and enjoyable. We are always updating, recently adding a king bed instead of a queen to the front bedroom, new HVAC, new linens, shower curtains, new furniture, power washing the building, painting rooms, always something to do!

Why they chose this property

After extensive searching for just the right property, we picked this fabulous home on the west side of Center, which we find quieter and with less traffic, yet we are in the block of town and only 2 blocks to the beach!!!!! Walk to location, location! This houses has the sleeping space upstairs for quiet and the family space to include a large kitchen, family room, separate dining room and laundry room on the main level. Both floors have a deck overlooking the yard and street, but tucked among the big oak trees.

What makes this property unique

Walk to town and the beach! Multi levels to accommodate all the guests needs!
Plenty of parking because Folly Beach can be a parking nightmare!
Cook's kitchen- everything you need to do a fabulous walk to one of the many Folly Beach restaurants.
Fabulous porches overlooking the street, for quietly rocking and reading or chatting.
