It’s hard to know where to begin when describing Fantasy Island because it has so much to offer. When you first arrive, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a Nicholas Sparks romance novel. The house has a large winding driveway that can accommodate up to 10 cars and is surrounded by palm trees and iconic southern oaks, providing you with seclusion and privacy. From there, you’ll be greeted by the welcoming covered porch. Before even unpacking, you’ll want to drop your cares and spend some time sipping an iced tea while catching up on some gossip or that book you finally have time to finish.
What are you waiting for? Pack up the kids, phone your friends and plan your next escape to our exclusive and spacious beach house just outside of one of America’s most idyllic beach towns and the historic city of Charleston.
Cooking and Dining
This property is ideal for gathering your family and friends, with its spacious three-floor layout and massive kitchen fully equipped and well-stocked to serve the whole crew. With a kitchen like this, the cooks in the family will inevitably be inspired to settle in and make some culinary magic on its granite countertops, with brand-new appliances and a gas stove. Undoubtedly the kitchen will become the hub of the home where everyone can gather around the table to help prepare meals and sit around the large family dining table located in the sunroom. There’s also plenty of room in the private backyard for barbecuing and dining outdoors.
Living Spaces
This beach house has all the nostalgia of yesteryear but is loaded with modern amenities to make your stay comfortable and entertaining. We’ve equipped it with lightning-fast wifi so you can catch up on emails and upload your Insta-worthy photos. There are also four TVs connected to Comcast throughout the home, with a massive flat screen in the living room just above the cozy gas fireplace for a family movie night. Who’s bringing the popcorn?
From the second and third floor, you’ll also have a peak of the ocean’s emerald water, and from the front porch, you can enjoy a nightly display of cotton candy-colored sunsets.
Sleeping Accommodations
The sleeping accommodations are just another way this home shines. With six bedrooms and three and a half baths, there is space for up to 16 guests to stay and sleep comfortably.
Located on the main floor is the master suite with a comfortable king-size poster bed and ensuite that offers a double vanity. You can also enjoy the jet tub with a glass of wine after a day at the beach or on the town in Charleston.
The second floor also has a master bedroom with a private ensuite and a double vanity. Two more sizable bedrooms are located on the second floor with queen-sized beds that share a four-piece bathroom.
Bedrooms five and six are located on the third floor with three twin beds and a sleeper sofa in one and two queen size beds in the other. This roomy and bright space is the perfect spot for kids. Parents on the main floor, kids upstairs - everyone’s happy!
Also provided are a large washer and dryer to help you stay on top of wet towels and laundry.

Should you wish to bring your dog, please notify the owner and pay the pet fee of $200 per dog. Cats are prohibited.
Are you planning an event? We’d love to accommodate you if you’re planning a small event of up to 25 people. Our unique location at the end of a cul de sac and gorgeous untouched marshland surrounding the backyard makes it a terrific place to hold intimate weddings, family reunions, milestone celebrations or anything else you’re celebrating.

What’s Nearby?
Folly Beach is a dreamy destination. Located on Folly Island, just to the south of Charleston, Folly Beach is 6 miles of uncommercialized oceanfront with pristine beaches and stunning emerald water. Our beautiful beach house is conveniently tucked away at the end of a gravel road on a private cul de sac. When we found it, we instantly fell in love with it here, not only because of the beauty of the home but because of its incredible location. In less than a mile walk, you can find yourself in the exciting little beach town, named as one of America’s “last true beach towns.” You’ll love its easy-breezy slow pace, boho boutiques and delicious restaurants serving up some delicious seafood.
If you’ve set your sights on spending as much time on the beach and the water, you’ll be overwhelmed by the options available to you, from beachside picnic areas and grills to kayaking, surfing, paddle boarding, boating and biking. Folly Beach has it all.
To top it off, we are only a short drive to the picturesque historic city of Charleston. With pastel row homes, guided tours to see all the historical sites, and exciting nightlife, you’ll never be bored here. Pro tip: make sure you have a ton of room on your phone for pictures because there’s a photo opportunity around every corner here.

Glenn was so gracious from beginning to end. The house was perfect for our friends and family to gather together. Friends came for dinner and comments how comfortable the house was.
Glenn was a fantastic host and we had a great weekend at Fantasy Island in Folly Beach! The house has plenty of beds and rooms for a large group of people and it is located right across the road from public beach access. My friends and I had the best time and I highly recommend booking this listing for your Folly Beach vacation!
Really wonderful place to stay. Close to beach. Clean and plenty of room. My only gripe was difficult to get on WiFi with my Kindle.

Thank you for the kind review. We have plenty of Wi-Fi throughout the house. I don’t know what the problem was with the Kindle but if you had notified me, I would’ve assisted you. I didn’t hear anything from you, so I wasn’t able to address this.
We had an issue but Glen was open to make it right. The location is unbeatable and the convenience of being right across the street from the beach can't be beat

The house fit the needs of my family. The on-line photos are somewhat outdated. Beds on 3rd floor needs new mattresses
We stayed at fantasy island for a family vacation. Really enjoyed the front and back porches and convenient beach access. Host was prompt with communication and we had no issues during our stay. House was big enough for everyone to have their own space when needed and livingroom and back porch were able to accommodate everyone at once.
Wonderful property with great location. Secluded and private but really close to beach. How is that possible? It’s on a dead end cul de sac across from the beach. Will definitely be back in the future. First time to Folly Beach which is also a gem.
Perfect place for our family to stay while in town for our Folly beach wedding! Very close walk to the beach and convienen to downtown Folly. Sleeps a lot of people, great for large groups. No frills beach house, but perfect for what we needed!
We had an amazing family vacation here at fantasy island. It was so easy to get to and from the house, close to the stores and restaurants, we barely needed to drive. The house was perfect for our family.
We found the property to be a great location for the beach and quite relaxing. Kitchen was well appointed for cooking. Well suited for a large family vacation.
Beautiful house with the best location. Cross the street and you’re at the beach! House fit is perfectly and comfortably. The sun room was lovely to let the kids thrive and catch a breezy snooze in the afternoon. The porch allowed us to relax and feel the sea breeze. Had the best time!
This property was in a great location just a very short walk to beach. Had plenty of room and big gathering area! Great for family or several couples.

About the host
Hosted by Glenn - Fantasy Island Folly
Fantasy Island Folly - There truly is nothing like waking up in the morning and heading straight to the ocean. A day in the life of staying in Folly Beach consists of long walks on the beach, dining in delicious southern-style restaurants and choosing whether to paddleboard, surf, kayak, or sunbathe on the wide sandy beaches. Once you’re here, you’ll know why we’ve made this place our home away from home. We love sharing this little slice of paradise with other families when we’re not here. Being a host has been so rewarding. I take pride in knowing that I am delivering quality accommodations where families and friends can have adventures and experiences they’ll never forget. Come visit Fantasy Island in Folly Beach, South Carolina!
Why they chose this property
I discovered Folly Beach back in 2008 and instantly fell in love. I knew this was the perfect place to bring my family and make lifelong memories. When I found this large beach house, I had to buy it. We love our time here spent by the ocean. We also love the convenience of how close it is to our little beach town as well as Charleston, where there’s always so much to see and do.
In 25 minutes you're in downtown Charleston with all of the great restaurants and activities... If you like Uber your looking at a $20 Uber ride at the very most to downtown.
