About this property

Quaint & Charming 2nd Row Beach House - Large Screened Porch - Steps to the Beach

Please note: This property is located in a quiet residential community and Folly Beach has a strict noise ordinance violation rule of 1 strike. Simply respect your neighbors, keep the noise down and no parties.

Welcome to 406 E Arctic...this classic 1930's Folly Beach cottage has been beautifully restored and updated, yet still holds onto the charm of Folly of years past. If you are looking for a fancy place, this is not your place, as this home embodies old school era beach cottage vibes...cozy, worn, yet comfy. Across the street from the beach and on a full lot, this home is a must see with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, wood floors nearly throughout, and a full front porch for enjoying all the sight Folly has to offer!

Featuring the original beadboard walls and ceilings, the living room has vaulted ceilings and a brick fireplace, while upstairs you can view the ocean from the large screened front porch. Outside you will find a large driveway, parking area and outside shower. Across the street, there is beach access on both the left and the right with views of the beach. With fun and funky décor, this is definitely not your grandmother's beach house!

Folly Beach, or as locals refer to it, The Edge of America, is a laid-back, golf-cart-friendly community with many great restaurants, a booming nightlife, plenty of shopping, water activities, and water tours. For more historic exploring, the famous Downtown Charleston is only a 25 - minute car ride, which offers endless fine dining, shopping, historical sites, and more. There is something for everyone here. We promise you will Folly in love with this beautiful island!

We had a wonderful stay! Can't beat the location with quick and easy access to the beach and back, and a pleasant walk to nearby store, coffee shops, restaurants and downtown. The house was charming, comfortable and the screened porch was a favorite spot for all from morning coffee to evening family game nights. Easy check-in and checkout and the management company had great communication.

Check in was smooth and effortless. All instructions for check in and check out were simple and clear. Cottage was very clean and well stocked. We had a small issue at the property and the management sorted it quickly, helpfully and thoughtfully- exactly what you would hope for and what so many properties do not deliver. Location is great and we loved the thoughtful, original and ‘curated’ consistency of decor. So much fun….. we will seekOut this property in the future.

Great authentic beach house steps from the sand

This was a great house and value. The place was perfect for our family of 4. It’s just steps from two public beach access points. The house was as described, and the rental management was as in contact with us throughout our stay. The yard, porches and driveway were all great too. If you have tiny children it may be bit too far for them to walk to center of town, but non problem for bigger kids, teens or adult. A great stay. I highly recommend it!

Could use some TLC but good location.

The interior of the home could use some updating and care. Downstairs bathroom floor was chipping and one of the bed frames in the downstairs room wouldn’t stay together (ended up using a ratchet strap to keep it together). There were also some ants in the kitchen throughout the stay; not an infestation but enough to be an annoyance. However, plenty of space for two families of four and the yard and front porch were great. Location was also hard to beat. The house is easily within walking distance of both the beach and downtown so we didn’t have to bother with fighting for parking spots.

Location, Location, Location

You cannot beat the location of this house! The beach is across the street and you are close enough to walk to Center Street. Having four young children this was one of our top priorities. Having two floors of living space was awesome, as was the screened in porch in the evenings. The pictures online showed a bunk bed on the top floor which had been replaced with a full for our stay which was disappointing. The condition of the house left a lot to be desired. We liked the lived in, well loved beach cottage vibe we picked up from the listing photos but upon arrival, the place just needs a good scrub. The floor is chipping away in several places in the bathroom and kitchen, the leather has worn through on the arms of the chairs, there are holes in the screened in porch which allowed birds in when we first arrived and there was a hole in the ceiling downstairs where insulation was coming through. We have stayed on Folly several times before and are aware of the bugs common to island life, however, we found more than usual inside the house during our stay. Of minor concern was the TV that only receives about 3-5 channels and they only had 2 kids DVDs in the house. We by no means needed fancy, top of the line accommodations traveling with kids, but cleanliness goes a long way.

Meghan, Thank you for your review. I am sorry to see that you had a few issues during your stay. Next time you stay with us, please report them to us right away so that we can get them fixed for you while you are here, instead of you having to deal with them your whole stay. To address a few items; we will have our maintenance team take care of the whole in the ceiling and the tears in the screened in porch. The chipped floors and the worn leather we will bring up to the owners to see if they can get the repairs made. Also, the house is on a quarterly pest control treatment but we will most defiantly have it sprayed again, as we did just go through some sever weather recently. The bunk beds have seen been replaced with a Full size bed. We thought those pictures taken down already, but I see that they have not been. I am sorry about that. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. We hope that you stay with us again, next time you visit Folly Beach.

Good and Bad

The house had the perfect space (bedroom configurations) for the group we had planned on bringing to Folly. There isn't seating for 10 to eat in the house, though. You have to eat out on the porch, which can be uncomfortable depending on the weather. The location is really great...just across the street from beach access! The house wasn't very clean. Especially during this pandemic, we were expecting a much cleaner house. That was really disappointing! We found a solo cup with a bit of brown liquid left in it on some shelves in the kitchen, for one example. There were deflated balloons on the floor of the screened-in porch. The upholstery and pillows are all stained. The sinks and showers seemed pretty clean but the floors were not. That made us question if any frequently touched surfaces had been disinfected, such as door knobs, faucet knobs, etc. We would like to stay here again because of its location and bedrooms, but only if it is appropriately cleaned first. MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review and feedback. We apologize for the cleaning issues and will be addressing them promptly with housekeeping. We are so glad that you otherwise enjoyed your stay!

Older but great

Great older home with great character. Easy walk to restaurants and beach. Would definitely stay at this home again. Thought it had a ping pong table so some of the crowd was disappointed that there wasn’t one
Response from VrboOwner on 20 Mar 2020
Kevin, We are sorry that the ping pong table was not there for you, the owners must have removed it. We have removed it from the listing so that there will be no further disappointment. Again, I am sorry about that. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to hosting your group again on your next visit to Folly Beach.
