Location: Folly Beach, Charleston Area, South Carolina, USA (15 Minutes from Downtown Charleston; Walk to the Beach!)
Accommodations: Condominium, 3 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 3 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
On the shores of the beautiful Folly River, and a short walk from the beach, our third floor, elevatored Condominium enjoys fabulous views of the boats and dolphins cruising the waterway, the extensive picturesque marshes, amazing wildlife, as well as a famous lighthouse! This is not your typical basic rental unit! With three bedrooms (king, two daybed/trundle twins, and queen bed), three full baths, two twin self-inflating Aerobeds if needed, a large living/dining area, and fully-equipped kitchen, and cable television in every room (and DVD/VHS players!), Wifi internet,fax, printer - You'll definitely have the "retreat in the islands" feeling with our bright colors and Caribbean decor. This is a luxurious unit that you'll feel both at home in, and on vacation! Business travelers are welcome!
From the screened porch, sit back and relax with refreshments as you watch incredible sunsets, pelicans flying by and dolphins feeding on the river banks! On our dock or by the lagoon, cast a net for some shrimp or crabs... or bring your rod and fish awhile. If an evening dip to cool off after a long day at the beach or sightseeing is in order, enjoy our private pool (and pool toys!) at sunset and beyond...
Take a short walk (use our beach cart to help you bring your beach gear!)across the bridge at our driveway...past Folly's beach shops and many restaurants, to the warm Atlantic ocean beach... miles and miles of it. There, you will find a 1000-foot fishing pier with restrooms, showers, parking, beachside restaurant, snacks and drinks... and, of course, rental fishing gear and the souvenir T-shirts! Or, drive 15 minutes to the cultural and historic attractions of downtown Charleston. There, enjoy world-class restaurants, or a carriage ride to view famous historical sites, fabulous shopping on King Street (our Madison Avenue!), notable Charleston architecture, and the historic market place where you can find the famous Sweetgrass Basket artisans, and many other souvenirs. Golf at Charleston's many courses, including a good and inexpensive public course 10 minutes away... or the celebrated courses of Kiawah island (inc. the world famous "Ocean Course", about 30 minutes away. Maybe a day at our famous South Carolina Aquarium, the exciting IMAX theatre?....or a boat ride - to see Fort Sumter. You can do some deep sea fishing, too, and depending on time of year, there are Historic Home tours and Garden tours. Spoleto Festival, which is rich in art, dancing, and theatre, arrives each Spring.
There is lots for everyone to enjoy. Surf boards, kayaks, jet skis and numerous other equipment are available for rent around the island. River and dolphin cruises are avilable in season as well..and kayak tours! For a change of pace, James Island County Park is 5 min. off the island with kayaking and a climbing wall. There are also summer concerts and an amazing, drive-thru holiday light show in the park through the late fall/winter holiday season.
Rain or shine... there is ALWAYS something to do... including an extensive DVD and VHS collection in the condominium for "whenever." Please do not hesitate to inquire about long-term rates... .
