Oceanfront Property 'Folly Drifter' w/ Beach Access & Private Deck

Summary:

Folly Drifter



The Space:

Enjoy a fabulous view of the water from Folly Drifter, a 3BR/2BA oceanfront home. All on one level and raised on stilts, this delightful beach home recently underwent a total makeover, with new appliances, modern amenities, and fresh decor. The private deck looks straight out to the ocean, and there’s private access to the beach boardwalk.



A prime location just 20 minutes from historic Charleston, this peaceful retreat is ideal for those seeking to truly get away from it all.



LIVING AREA



Recessed lighting and sliding glass doors create a bright and breezy ambience in the living room. Furnished with a comfy couch, two armchairs, and a 55” TV, this is a great spot to watch a movie or simply enjoy the breathtaking ocean views.



KITCHEN & DINING



The well-equipped and updated kitchen has everything you need to prepare hearty group meals, complete with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.



Enjoy breakfast at the center island with seating for four. Or gather your group for dinner at the dining table, which also seats four.



BEDROOMS & BATHS



This home sleeps up to seven guests between the three bedrooms.



Watch the waves roll ashore from the master bedroom, furnished with a plush queen bed and 50” TV. The en-suite master bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower.



The second guest room has a queen bed and 46” TV, while the third bedroom features a twin-over-full bunk bed and 42” TV.



A guest bathroom is configured with a tub/shower combination.



OUTDOOR AREAS



Sip coffee on the front porch, furnished with two rocking chairs. A picnic bench in the carport area invites alfresco meals.



The partially covered deck offers an incredible view of the water. With three lounge chairs, two rocking chairs, and additional seating, your group will have plenty of space to sunbathe and socialize. Fire up the charcoal grill and enjoy a family barbecue. Or head down the steps and follow the path to the gate – where you will find direct access to the beach. Relax in the sand or spend sunny afternoons surfing waves.



EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS



Guest amenities at this pet-friendly home include complimentary Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, and parking for up to seven vehicles between the carport and driveway.



Access to this elevated home is via one flight of exterior stairs.



THE LOCATION



Walk less than a mile northeast along the beach, and you’ll see Morris Island Lighthouse. In the vicinity, you’ll find Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve, where you can enjoy surf fishing, a beachside stroll, or an organized bird walk.



Drive 3 miles southwest for grocery stores, coffee shops, shopping, dining, and other attractions, such as the Folly Beach Pier. Spend a day exploring the cobblestone streets and savoring incredible seafood or southern comfort dishes in Charleston, located just 20 minutes away.

Fun at Folly

This is a very comfortable beachfront home, with direct beach access. It has all you need to relax, make a meal and to entertain guests... in fact we celebrated my wife's birthday during our stay. Close enough to Charleston's attractions and Kiawah Island to explore or just have beach day. Great stay!

Great location .

Great location. Easy access to town, and to grocery store. Unfortunately, we came on a week where the weather was really crummy. So we stayed inside and watched the wind, the rain, and the waves.

Good location

When we arrived, we saw that the one lamp in the master bedroom had no switch. You had to turn it off and on by unplugging and plugging. There is a table/bookcase as you enter that the second shelf is broken. It does seem that as much as these houses cost per night, that someone would check to make sure that things are working and not broken.

Location is perfect!!!

The location of this house is perfect! It’s away from all the busy parts of folly, and you have plently of beach area to let kids play and feel safe with minimal folks around. (We stayed July 4th week) The house is not fancy. There are a lot of upgrades needed, but overall it was perfect for a week long vacation with a family that had more kids than adults. We had some issues with the plumbing and someone came out right away. There was a miscommunication about delivery of a new sofa sleeper and once we finally did get one, the property manager even gave us a tiny refund for our bed shortage. You have to use the public beach access to get to the beach but you have a private gate that connects right to a shower to rinse your feet before you head upstairs. That was very convenient. The house was quite affordable for an ocean front and the views each morning were worth every penny!

Renter beware! If you still have time to cancel, do so! This property was not as described. Newly remodeled; not so much. In addition to the lack of pride in ownership and upkeep, the property was filthy and in disrepair. The filth was not from the previous renters, but "old dirt" that has built up over time. The contact was made aware of the issues and my displeasure and the response was "sorry to hear that you're disappointed with the property, would you like the housekeepers to return?" Completely ignored the fact that the property was not as advertised. The decks and stairs are in disrepair, with nail pops and mismatched decking in the back. There were numerous notes that the AC could not operate below 72 degrees with threats that it would ice up and we would be charged. They installed a small window AC to supplement. While I understand that they want to reduce electrical costs, maybe they should install a unit that can cool the entire house; the primary bedroom was the warmest room in the house, even with the vents closed in the other rooms. The house was musty and damp, to the point that we had to purchase damp-rid and air fresheners to combat the odor. The dryer, while working, is so loud that they put up a sign to say so and suggest you close the door when running it. A sure sign that they are aware of the issue and are "taking the cheap way out" and failing to invest in the disrepair. As I shared with Vacasa; I could not be more disappointed in the misrepresentation.
Under the house in a carport.
The only thing that was as described. Nice view and on the beach.
Water damage under the windows with buckling walls.
Filthy.
