"This house was beautiful and perfect for our trip!" - James, March 2025
"I received great service from Ross. The property had everything we needed. We have been coming to Folly beach for many years and this was our very best stay." - Martha, July 2025
=======================================

This four-story custom-built beach home has everything you need for a fun, comfortable, and carefree stay. With the beach quite literally right behind the house, you're just a few steps away from the sand — go barefoot from the porch and straight into the ocean. From the moment you arrive, the views and the sea breeze set the tone for a perfect coastal escape!

~ THE LAYOUT IS IDEAL FOR GROUPS — with 4 master suites (each with its own bathroom, balcony and ocean view), plus a fun bunk room that sleeps up to 7. There's room for everyone, whether you're hosting extended family, a group of friends or a wedding party.

~ THE OPEN-CONCEPT MAIN FLOOR brings everyone together with a large, cozy living room (featuring a 60" TV and electric fireplace), a full dining area and a chef-style kitchen with a professional gas range, full-size fridge and all the essentials for cooking big family meals.

~ On the top floor, you'll find THE GAME ROOM — a favorite hangout spot with a pool table. Step out onto the upper deck to take in panoramic views of the ocean and river.

~ THE LARGE, FENCED-IN BACKYARD that leads directly to the beach. Ideal for families with kids who want to play safely, and perfect for hosting events like beachfront weddings, sunset dinners, or casual gatherings. Imagine setting up tables in the yard, walking straight onto the sand for a ceremony, and watching the waves roll in behind you.

Additional highlights include:
* Elevator to all 4 levels (wheelchair accessible)
* 3-car garage with space for up to 6 vehicles
* Multiple porches and balconies with beach and river views
* Washer/dryer, fast Wi-Fi and smart TVs throughout

Family wedding weekend

The house is beautiful and spacious and was perfect for our family gathering for our daughter's wedding weekend on Folly Beach! The setting on the beach is perfect... fabulous views and balconies from the living room and kitchen and all but one of the bedrooms! The elevator made bringing suitcases and supplies inside and taking them out again very easy. The yard and walkway to the beach was perfect. Everything was wonderful! Ross was always quick to respond to texts and emails and was great about communicating and accommodating our requests. Highly recommend this house for your family vacation on Folly Beach!

Spacious Oceanfront Home

The house can accommodate large families or friend groups. Virtually every room has ocean view and lots of bathrooms. Tons of socializing space and great enclosures on deck and a garden that accesses the beach immediately. Great communication with Ross and listen to his suggestions. Folly town is fantastic find; lots if cool bars, great music and cool ice cream shop for the littles-“Shoobies.” Pool halls too. Tides is a great music and oceanfront restaurant for a fancy night out with music. The rooftop Taco restaurant more casual with music too snd cool with kids. Great vibe, Ashley st is a great walk, or you can Uber. Enjoy as we did.
