**Escape to Folly Beach: Where Coastal Charm Meets Private Luxury**
Immerse yourself in the laid-back elegance of this 4-bedroom sanctuary just eight blocks from the sand. With downtown historic Charleston, the Port Cruise Terminal, MUSC, James Island County Park, and shopping all within a short drive, it’s perfectly situated for both adventure and relaxation.
Unwind in style with curated comforts—from a coffee bar and Jacuzzi in the primary bedroom. All bedrooms have elegant black out curtains, blinds, and ceiling fans for those restful night's sleep. Retreat to five smart TVs, blazing Wi-Fi, and a fully stocked chef’s kitchen. Dine al fresco, cozy up by the fire, or enjoy meals in the sunroom or scenic balconies to savor magnificent low country water and marsh views.
No problem with off road parking as you'll find plenty at this home as you enter the long private driveway that suddenly opens into a breathtaking view of the Folly Island Inlet to your ultimate private getaway. Put your boat in the water at the boat landing (4 blocks away) and bring that boat trailer back to the "Sunset" House for safe parking. Plenty of room for that!
Your own private deepwater dock (with water and electricity) beckons for easy access to your boat, quiet sunrise coffees, dolphin sightings, kayaking, fishing, crabbing, swimming, or sunset views bathed in fiery coastal hues only seen from this side of the Island! Embrace serenity in the lush outdoors and observe so much coastal wildlife. Continue to rejuvenate on several decks and nooks or gather around the fire pit beneath a starlit sky.
Equipped with beach chairs, beach wagons, umbrellas, and outdoor furniture, everything is in place for effortless beach days and peaceful nights. Whether you’re seeking a romantic hideaway, a family escape, or a tranquil retreat, this Folly Beach haven blends convenience and privacy for an unforgettable stay.
A golf cart is highly recommended as this home is on the backside of the Island with all of its beauty and peacefulness it is about 8 blocks to dip your toes in the sand at the beach and about 6 blocks from the business district. Walkable but MORE enjoyable and relaxing with a golf cart especially since this house is also located in the middle of Folly Beach and you have about 3 1/2 miles on either side of you to explore. Loaded with wonderful sights to experience such as the bird sanctuary, the historic light house at one end of the Island and the beautiful Folly Beach County Park and Sunset Cay Marina on the other end of the Island with all kinds of wonders in between! It will so enhance your stay.

Thank you!
Private and quiet is exactly what I highlight about the "Sunset" House. And that's hard to find especially during peak seasons with many travelers finding out about our special Island. I'd say that this space is a pretty good "hiding spot" when you're over the crowds and excited neighbors.
House was beautiful and warm. A very pleasant stay. Owner was welcoming in her contacts and very thoughtful in leaving two boxes of donuts for weary travelers. Thank you

Thank you so much for the sweet review. I’m really glad you had a warm, comfy stay, and it makes me happy that the donuts were a nice little pick‑me‑up after traveling. You’re welcome back anytime.
We loved this place. The host was there to greet us when we arrived and show us around the house. The kids loved the dock and being able to see Dolphins every day. I highly recommend this place. I think we will be back again next year.
The house was great. The house was stocked better than any house we have ever rented with everything from cooking utensils to face cleaner in the bathrooms. It was a great opportunity to have my boat at the dock and do water sports and experience the beach (although our week was extremely hot!). Teresa was a great host and you can bet we will be back next year with the family vacation.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Happy to hear the house had everything you needed and that you made the most of the dock and beach—even in the heat! I can’t wait to welcome you and your family back next year!
Having a house while on vacation makes all the difference! Perfect location: easy to walk downtown and restaurants, a beautiful view, and lots of parking and storage for water toys! We had a ton of space to relax and read in the evenings - the dock was one of our favorite parts of the house! Teresa was a great host - responsive and accommodating! We’d love to stay again!
The house is in a quiet, safe neighborhood- all of Folly is safe. We most enjoyed the river views. The dock was nice for fishing, seeing sunsets and dolphins.The house is nice, decent. Needs some updating all around, but overall accommodations were good.

Thanks so much, Monica. It was a pleasure hosting you and meeting you!
The Sunset House was everything we expected it to be! It was probably the most well stocked house we've been in. I believe another review said it was a bit outdated; I think it played into the charm of the house. Definitely felt a bit 'old south' which we loved. Also, perhaps a weird thing to praise, but the place smelled incredible. The all-seasons room was a favorite gathering place, as was the dock. All of our galleries are filled with stunning sunset photos and dolphin sightings. Personally, our circumstances when we booked were drastically different when it came time to travel as our daughter broke her leg the day before our departure so the large amount of stairs posed a bit of a tiring challenge for us (yes, island life, lifted homes). Would definitely book again to experience without crutches and a casted leg!

Thank you so much for the sweet review. I’m really glad the Sunset House had everything you were hoping for and that you loved the charm, the all‑seasons room, and those gorgeous sunsets and dolphin sightings. I really strive to have all of my guest enjoy the local beauty while feeling right at home.
Sorry your daughter had to tackle all those stairs with a broken leg — that’s a tough trip. I’d love to have you back when everyone can enjoy it a little more comfortably!
Teresa is a great host! She and her daughter greeted us and made us feel very welcome. She is very attentive and quick to respond with any questions. Her home is beautiful and well appointed. The location is perfect, close enough to beaches and restaurants, but quiet and secluded for your visit.
We stayed at the Sunset House to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday. We had 7 adults and two teenagers and the house accommodated us all comfortably. The location is lovely and the sunset views were gorgeous! We especially appreciated how communicative our host was and how incredibly well stocked the house was, especially the kitchen. With several great cooks in our group it was really nice to find the kitchen had everything we could possibly need. Thank you for a great stay! We hope to be back soon!

Betsy, I also enjoyed you all. I love to cook, too and am so glad that the kitchen passed your "test". I know how it feels to be somewhere and really need something , especially when your in the midst of creating a nice meal for everyone.
Betsy, I thank you for your kind words and know that my "roots" are from Inman/Spartanburg and they're good people around there. I would love for you to come back as soon as you can and maybe I can finally meet you face to face.
You all were great guests!!
The house was perfect - beautiful, comfortable, and peaceful. We loved all of the places to sit and watch the water! So many spots to relax and rest. A wonderful weekend all around.

Thanks Becky for taking time to share your thoughts about Folly and my home. I hope you had time to appreciate everything, Folly and the "Sun Set" house has to offer. as I know you were busy with work and had to come and go. Good thing you weren't too far from your home and office! I did have an opportunity to meet your daughter and son. They were a pleasure and seemed to be having a nice time.
We are fortunate back in our "little corner" to have only 1 neighbor somewhat near by but not nearly as close as most houses on the beach. That is what most of my guest enjoy and appreciate. which really helps with parking multiple cars and trailers which can be quite challenging. at times.
Anyway, it was so nice to meet you and your family and I hope to see you next year.
Teresa
Hostess was very helpful with activities and local attractions. The property was ideal location being close enough to walk to beaches and all local shops but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet evenings with fabulous sunsets and star gazing. Dock has plenty of water at low tide and convenient to public launch. No regrets, hope to stay there again!

Thanks so much for taking the time to review the house. and love to have you guys back anytime. You were great!
The whole family stayed together and we had a wonderful time with the children, their spouses and all the grandchildren. The dock was fantastic I am sure the memories will last.
Enjoyed our stay and family is planning on coming back. Location is all walking distance to the tourist center and the beach. Best of all is we had the dock all to ourselves. Fishing and crabbing anytime family was back from having an outside meal. The host was very accommodating and made sure our stay was as relaxing and enjoyable the best that she can provide.
The views and wildlife were spectacular. The house is well anointed and has ample space for everyone. Renting golf carts was the finishing touch to make a wonderful vacation.

Lisa, it was so nice having you and your family! I so hope you can get back as soon as you can! You all were great.
The house was so charming and provided plenty of space for our family of 6. It was well stocked and exceeded our needs. The owner reached out to ensure we were able to access the house upon our arrival. Upon entering, the home was beautifully decorated for the holiday and Christmas music was playing...this was a wonderful setting to start off our vacation. At the end of our 10 day stay, we found it hard to leave! We felt so at home! I would book this home again and highly recommend it.

Lori, I'm thrilled that you and your sweet family enjoyed your precious time together. I just loved the pictures as I sort of got to know you guys, a little.
I just finished the last piece of that wonderful candy yesterday. To the gym I go. Lol You were so thoughtful, that I had to eat every piece. And you left the house flawless. You know you didn't have to do all of that. I thank you and appreciate you.
Get back when you can...I'll be waiting. for my "special" guests.
Take care.
We enjoyed every second at Sunset Point! The house was clean, comfortable, and had all needed amenities. The location is convenient to Center St. and the dock is great for fishing and dolphin spotting.
Teresa was so nice and responsive. She made us feel at home right away! Would definitely stay here again!

About the host
Hosted by Teresa L. Mincey
My husband and I built this home in 1991 after moving to the Low Country from Columbia, S. C. After many years of looking for the right property, we found paradise. Our desire was to raise our 2 daughters in a safe place while enjoying the beach and all of the fun things "Folly" has offer. Living on the water and being outdoors allowed our girls to grow up learning how to crab, fish, shrimp, adore nature, and learn an all-around appreciation for the water with all of the beauty this Island has to offer. They're grown and out of the house, now, so I'm in that ''sizing down" mode and it's time to let others enjoy this home located in such a beautiful place.
I've had many rental properties for 40 years, so I decided to incorporate this property in with my other rentals, rather than selling this unique, one of a kind home. I realized an important thing, it cannot be replaced or duplicated.
As a matter of fact, I've always had a bit of an ecliptic decorating style and like to be a little different. I guess I am a citizen of "Folly". I spent some time and was a homeowner in the Carribean, St. Thomas, actually, and loved their style of decor with rich warm colors with bright ones carefully incorporated. So, I brought a little of the style home with me and sprinkled it in the "Sunset" House and just love it. It's unique and I hope that others will enjoy it, too.
So, there ya go, I hope you'll allow me to host you by visiting my home and enjoying our Special piece of Heaven.
Hope to see you soon!
Why they chose this property
This is not your typical vacation rental. While you will find everything that you need to enjoy your stay, I've maintained the 'feel at home' ambiance in this warm, inviting, and comfortable home. You'll find so many details tended to to make your stay enjoyable and make you feel special. And you are, you're my special guests!
What makes this property unique
You can sunbath on the private dock while enjoying all of he river activities, views and outrageous sunsets. You'll have to decide...beach today or hanging on the river. Sometimes, I find that a very tough decision and feel so fortunate to have it! There's several seating areas (inside and out) to relax and enjoy your time off while enjoying your privacy. The "Sunset" House is just a great place to escape the crowds, keep busy, if you want, or just do nothing.
