About this property
Coastal retreat short ride to the beach
One of Folly's Best! Stella Maris is a coastal retreat tucked away in a quiet community. This home is a leisurely drive to Folly Beach where you can spend you days lounging in the sand. After a morning on the beach, spend your afternoon relaxing at the community pool (open beginning April for 2025 season). Located off of Bowen's Island Road, this location has gorgeous lowcountry views while you walk to dinner at Bowen's Island Restaurant. Folly is a 20-minute drive from downtown Charleston. This home has a 7-day stay minimum.
Stella Maris is modern and updated. The living room, kitchen, and dining room fill with natural light during the day. The living room has a connected porch with outdoor seating and a grill that overlooks a tidal pond. The kitchen is fully equipped with appliances and features a dishwasher and wine fridge. There is a half bathroom on the first floor. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and the washer/dryer closet. The master bedroom has a king bed, Smart TV, and private porch. The attached bathroom has a double vanity and separate shower and tub. The additional two bedrooms feature a queen and two twin bunk beds. The shared hall bathroom has a double vanity and shower/tub combo.
There are two allocated parking spots in the garage. Stella Maris allows only 2 dogs up to 30lbs each that are well-behaved, house-broken, flea-treated with prior approval. Please include the breed and size of your dog when you inquire. This property is licensed by the city of Folly Beach as a vacation rental - License Number LIC041628.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was absolutely beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. The location was fantastic and made it easy to enjoy everything in the area. The owners were also very responsive and quick to help whenever we had questions or needed anything. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!
Great space and community pool. Easy drive to beach. Home was just as advertised and we had a wonderful time.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had a great time and enjoyed the space, community pool, and proximity to the beach. It's our goal to ensure that our guests have a memorable and comfortable experience, so we're thrilled that we were able to deliver on that. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to hosting you again in the future.
This was the most beautiful home. It was extremely clean and well stocked. It is in a very quiet area with a beautiful pool. It is a quick drive or bike ride to Folly Beach. I loved this area to be away from the busy beach area but still enjoy all that offers.This condo is large and well appointed. It was just perfect!
