About this property

River and Ocean Views Expansive Interior 1505 Forrest Ave

One of Folly's Best! This 5 bedroom 3 bath home offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of Center Street. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac and surrounded by lush greenery you can truly enjoy your rest and relaxation while still just a quick walk away from the waves. There are spacious decks on the front and back of the home on every floor and there is a rooftop deck where you can soak up the sun and take in the sights of the beach!

Inside, there is ample living space for the whole family with 2 living areas, 5 bedrooms, a galley kitchen and large dining area to accommodate a large group. All bedrooms have a TV and a king or queen size bed to ensure your comfort. Windows around the home allow for an amazing amount of natural light creating a bright and airy space. You'll never have to choose between river or ocean views as you will be set in the middle of both in this lovely setting. Truly a unique home!

1505 Forrest allows up to 3 well behaved, house-broken, flea treated dogs with approval. Please include the breed and size of your dog when you inquire.

Excellent family vacation house

This house has five bedrooms with three of them being large with king beds. Lots of living space and great view from the top deck. My family spent evening there talking and enjoying the ocean view. One small issue is the very small kitchen. Short walk to the beach making this a great location. Enjoyed our family vacation in this house.

We're delighted to hear that you and your family had a wonderful time at the house! The spacious bedrooms with king beds, ample living space, and a great view from the top deck must have made your stay truly enjoyable. It's always lovely to spend quality time with loved ones while appreciating the beauty of nature. We understand that the small kitchen may have posed a minor inconvenience, but we're glad it didn't overshadow your overall experience. Being just a short walk away from the beach sounds like an ideal location for a relaxing vacation. We hope you create many more cherished memories in the future and consider us for your next getaway!

SC family vacation

Would stay here again. House was very clean and maintained. Location was walking distance from the beach. Neighbors were friendly. Nice to have a place where everyone had their own bedroom. Ladies thought the kitchen was small, but didn't spend alot of time in there. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed our stay. Lovely property and the house had plenty of room for our family. The two living spaces made it convenient when the older folks in our group were early to bed and early to rise. Need a new wine key. The one that was there was destroyed. We would stay again!

Great beach stay!!

This beach house was lovely! Plenty of space and comfortable bedrooms. The view of the sunset from the roof deck was unbelievable! The kitchen was very small, but stocked well. We also had trouble connecting to the WIFI. Luckily, we didn’t even need it with the beach just a 4 minute walk away! Not much more we could ask for!

A great place to stay

My family and I enjoyed our entire stay in this place. The house was exceptionally clean and spacious except for the kitchen. But we were aware of it so it was never been an issue. The host was really great, he kept in touch at all times and offered an open communication even if it was holiday. The check in and out were also smooth. I highly recommend this place to those looking for a homey and relaxing vibe close to the ocean and love to go see places nearby. I would love to go back to this place.

Nice time

We enjoyed are stay. The house was very roomy and clean, but was in need of some minor repairs. The location was great! Quick easy walk to the beach, short drive or bike ride to Center Street. WiFi in the house is not good as one of our family members had a zoom meeting and had a hard time connecting. The kitchen is very small, but had pretty much what you needed except for a blender. The owner is very attentive I needed more towels and they came right away. All in all it was a great time!

Destination wedding

We rented this house for a week to attend a wedding in Charleston. It worked great. The ladies wished for a full Length mirror or 2, but that's being picky for a vacation home. 5 min walk to the beach, and beach views from most rooms and decks. Sadly we didn't hit great beach weather, but it's March, and still 20° warmer than new England. 2 miles to downtown Folly Beach, with lots of restaurants and a cpl shops. The house was well equipped with the world's smallest kitchen. Otherwise plenty of room for up to 10 guests

Worst property/management company

Seriously the worst property we have ever stayed at. No internet until day three. They forgot to turn it on. Maintenance guy walked in the house, unannounced, garage sale cookware/dishes. Dishwasher that didn’t clean, bugs everywhere. This was probably a nice property, along time ago. Would not recommend.

1505 Forrest Ave Folly Beach

The house is very spacious overall, but the kitchen is really small. We were doing Thanksgiving and have some cooks, so a bit of a challenge, but it all worked. There are two open living areas and a nice deck on the lower level and two decks on the upper level. One has a crows nest where you have a great view of the ocean. The upstairs bedrooms are really large which worked well for us. We brought our dogs and had plenty of room for the dog crates. The beds were all very comfortable. It was an easy 5 min walk to the beach right at the washout. Traffic might be busier during the summer, but we did not have any problem accessing the beach. Check-in and check-out were easy and any time I had a question prior to our visit, they were answered promptly. We had no issues during our stay. We had plenty of room for people to watch TV and sports, while others engaged in games and puzzles. Overall we really enjoyed this house.

We are happy to hear that the house provided ample space for your needs overall. While the kitchen's small size posed a challenge during Thanksgiving, it's great to hear that everything worked out well. The presence of two open living areas and multiple decks, including one with a crows nest and ocean view, must have added to the enjoyment of your stay. It's especially convenient that the upstairs bedrooms were spacious enough for your group, and there was plenty of room for your dogs and their crates. The comfortable beds surely contributed to a restful stay as well. Additionally, the easy 5-minute walk to the beach at the washout sounds fantastic! While you mentioned potential busier traffic during summer months, it seems like you had a pleasant experience during your visit. We truly appreciate you sharing your feedback about the house. If there's anything else we can assist you with or if you have any further questions or comments, please don't hesitate to reach out.
