About this property

Top Floor Beachfront Condo ~Sand Castle in the Sky

One of Folly's Best! Sand Castle in the Sky is located on the top floor of a raised building. This 3 bedroom 3 bath condo is the perfect retreat without any noisy neighbors above you! The views from this 3rd-floor condo's open balcony are awe-inspiring from sunrise through the starry night sky. From watching waves throughout the day to the beautiful lights on the pier at night, it's a memorable vacation spot! The primary suite has a king-size bed and the other two bedrooms have queens. Sit on the balcony in the morning and enjoy the warm sun while watching the dolphins play and enjoying your morning coffee. You can park up to two cars in the off-street private parking lot the entire time you are here as everything is within easy walking distance. The property is clean and comfortable with inviting decor and TV's in every bedroom. It is one of the nicest condos on the beach! Beach lovers can enjoy the ocean from the balcony or by walking directly onto the beach. During the summer enjoy the water at one of the only sections of the beach with a lifeguard. Those who like to fish can walk less than one block down to the Folly Beach Fishing Pier to join other anglers. Great restaurants, fresh seafood vendors, and a grocery store are all nearby. This condo is a great base to explore the beach and then the Historic City of Charleston. Sand Castle in the Sky allows up to 2 well-behaved, house-broken, flea-treated dogs with approval. Please include the breed and size of your dogs when you inquire. While we manage this property we do not manage the maintenance of this building. All photos are current and accurately depict the property. Please book with confidence. This property is licensed by the city of Folly Beach as a vacation rental - LIC001927. Because of the potential of fraud we would not recommend booking a property not licensed by the city of Folly Beach as a vacation rental.

It's right on the beach, short walk to the pier and many restaurants and it's very spacious, too. Very easy check in and they gave plenty of notice on the door codes. The balcony is large and private with plenty of seating...and that view! The living room sofas and furniture were very comfortable, which seems hard to find lately in VRBO rentals. Everything was very clean and beds are very comfortable. Loved the whirlpool tub, too.

Loved this place!

This condo was perfect for our weekend visit to Folly Beach. Great location. Right on the beach and walking to distance to restaurants and shopping. The place was clean. We had a few issues with the WiFi but the management was so quick and helpful to get it resolved for us. Would definitely stay there again!

I called and emailed numerous times about the elevator issue and was told over and over that they will get back to me but they never did. It made for a very uncomfortable trip for our friends. My husband and I are in our mid-60s and it was not easy for us either, but we were healthy enough to make it up and down four flights. Our friends were not able to do that. We ended up picking up meals for them and bringing them back to the condo.

Good Afternoon Ms. Dickinson, Please accept our apologies again for the communal elevator being down during your visit - we understand the strain this put on you and your fellow guests, and for that we apologize. As we previously discussed both during and after your stay, we unfortunately can not guarantee the use of the building's elevator due to the factors outside of our control, and made every possible effort to repair the elevator during your stay. This is stated in the rental agreement that you signed. However, as a measure of good faith and a way to apologize for this issue, we still did issue you back a small refund. We're sorry that you and your guests experienced this issue.

The location was excellent and the condo overall was well appointed and decent amount of space. Nice that there were games to play and TVs in every room. The beds were a bit hard and water pressure is light. Otherwise it was really a great little condo. Super convenient to restaurants and Bert’s market plus great view from the balcony.

Great place with a great view. No Frills to make a reasonable cost for a great experience. Only downside was the consumables. They gave about exactly as much as needed, but we were worried we may need more of some stuff (dish soap, to, towels, etc). Again we did not run out of anything except shampoo/body wash (expected and communicated by the host management company that it would not make for a week long stay) and laundry/dish detergents (see both sides of the coin), so there's nothing unexpected here. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect Location

Excellent location, walkable to all that Folly has to offer. Property had all amenities. TV Remote was not working but manager came out within 10 minutes to replace. Elevator was not working for our stay which meant a lot of steps for our 3rd floor location. Parking was easy, check in was seamless. Great property. Would definitely go back.

Sand Castle in the Sky

We enjoyed our time at Sand Castle in the Sky. Our condo was as described and as pictured. Very clean and had a nice view from the third floor. Beds were comfortable and everything was in working order. We would have given it 5 stars only the elevator was out of order during our stay. Carrying luggage up the stairs to the third floor was not so much fun.
