About this property

Looking for a getaway? The Beach Fox is semi ocean front and just steps from the 5th street beach access and blocks from the lively "downtown" strip of Folly. Two driveways, spacious front porch, inviting living room into the cozy kitchen. Recently renovated and beautifully decorated. Perfect for a small family or a group of friends longing for the beach (or a nap on the hammock).

Inside each bedroom you will find a mounted TV and closet space. The single bathroom has a shower/tub combination and his & her sinks. The kitchen has all new appliances and an open floor plan so you can still be involved in living room conversation. The dining table has 5 chairs but can easily add a 6th if needed. The coffee maker takes ground coffee and has a cleanable filter.

Outside you will find large palms in the front shading the porch and a large oak equipped with rope swing in the back. Feeling sandy? Wash off in our outdoor shower! We have a foot shower in the front of the home. The laundry is located out back in a covered shed. The large front yard gives all the needed grass for a lovely game of bocce. Beach chairs will be provided under the home.

Bringing the kids? You can watch them walk to Folly's Wave Watch Playground at the end of the street. We are not currently dog friendly.

We invite you to come enjoy our Folly Beach as much as we have!

Girls weekend getaway

We absolutely loved our stay! The house was adorable, clean, and provided all we needed for our beach stay. Communication with the owner was timely and extremely helpful. Any small issues we had (short on beach towels, extra toilet paper) were addressed and remedied very quickly. The outdoor shower and foot wash station were perfect for coming off the beach. Highly recommend this adorable getaway beach house!

Stay at your own risk

This was sadly the worst experience I have ever had staying at a VRBO. The house is mostly fine, but there were issues (rotten boards and soft spots in floor and washer/dryer are outside the house and rusted). My gripe is really with the owner and property manager. The first night, the A/C went out and it was 100 degrees outside. This was not their fault, but I reached out to the owner through the app and they never responded. The PM did respond and was initially kind enough to apologize for the inconvenience and offer to comp the first night as a result (I did not ask for this). The next day however we waited all morning for a repairperson and the property manager did not offer to send someone out to wait in our place. They fixed the unit, but the next day they returned again b/c they said they had to fix the washer/dryer. We wasted another entire morning (to be fair, the PM said we could leave but we needed them to work so we stayed). The A/C went out AGAIN the final night of our stay. I was admittedly very frustrated but the PM never responded when I let them know and sent screenshots of thermostat again. I also never received the promised refund despite reaching out repeatedly to both the PM (she had said it was "in process") and the owner thereafter. I even called VRBO for help. I thought about this a lot and what to say. I have never left a negative review for anything but in this case it's the dishonesty that makes me the maddest.

Extenuating Circumstances

I am not reviewing this property from a first hand experience. I had a death in the family and the property owner was only willing to refund my cleaning fee and offered a discounted stay upon another booking, so I told my friends to take the house for the weekend. They enjoyed the location and the house. It was clean and the location was good, plus parking! I was informed of some strange rules written in an interestingly worded rule book provided. One example: place the towels in the washing machine but don't strip the beds. They said there is no washing machine in the house, or where to find it mentioned in said book. I never know what the cleaning fees go towards if it's not cleaning... I think they enjoyed their experience overall. From my personal perspective, I understand it can be frustrating as an owner, but it's Folly Beach in June, it could have been re-listed and rented out, or a negation about refunding the nightly rental but not the VRBO fees plus re-listing, there were options. Anyway, I think others will have a lovely experience in this house and really enjoy their stay. Unfortunately I did not. But hey, that's life.

Quick family weekend

We had a few days to spend in Folly Beach with our kids who are in there early 20's. The house was great, good location, not a long walk to the beach, and not hard to drive into Charleston. The house was very cute, clean, and great screen in porch.

Folly Beach Bungalow

What a cute older home! Very Comfortable beds and the kitchen was equipped well. Very close to the beach access! Perfect location! Enjoyed morning coffee on the porch. Advertised as a 2 bath really only one. That was a little tricky with 4 women. Only one toilet. The outside shower was used also one day. It was raining on the am of departure and it was a little difficult washing the towels prior to departure due to the W/D being outside in a little shed but it only covered the appliances. Overall we enjoyed our stay. It was a great girl trip!

Perfect Weekend

My family and I spent the weekend here celebrating my birthday and couldn’t have asked for a more memorable stay. Beautiful home with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We spent most of our time sitting on the front porch listening to the breeze rustling the palm trees. The kitchen and large table worked great for a low country boil. We will definitely be back!

Relaxing week in Folly Beach

We enjoyed a 7 night stay at this beach bungalow right across the street from the beach. Location was definitely the best we could have asked for without being beachfront. 100 meter walk to the dune bridge. Cute older, small 3BR with just one bathroom and lots of character. We used the outdoor shower quite a bit, and aside from the dirt path walk from front door to side shower, we loved it. Updated kitchen and comfy beds made for a relaxing vacation, and we really enjoyed the front porch with fans and hammock. Laundry was a little interesting (outside access to a compartment that may or may not be out of the elements (a heavy rainstorm soaked our clothes left on top of dryer), but nobody goes on vacation to do laundry. Folly Beach is a great hippie surf town that is family friendly and not too expensive. Definitely recommend.

Perfect house for a relaxing beach stay

We had a superb time staying at the Beach Fox! The beach access was very convenient, the kitchen had all the pots/pans/utensils etc, and the front porch became the hang out with the hammock and lounge area. Only have 2 things that could improve; the beds were rather firm for us and the kitchen needs a knife sharpener. We would rebook the Beach Fox in an instant.

Great place! Exactly what we were looking for:)

We had such a great time staying at this Folly Beach house! It was exactly what we were looking for to celebrate our mom's birthday. Awesome porch for hanging out, super close to the beach and a fun beach town nearby with great food and music. So many things to love about our stay at this house. Thanks!

Why they chose this property

Folly is a beautiful yet funky, fun time place. It can either feel like your own private hideaway or a party on Bourbon Street.
The Beach Fox is located on the West end of Folly, the less crowded side. Just steps from the beach access and a quick walk to the downtown strip, you can't go wrong staying here.
