About this property

Sand Castle - Beach Retreat - Saltwater Heated Pool - 1st Block from the Center St.

Please note: This property is in a quiet residential community, and Folly Beach has a strict noise ordinance violation rule of 1 strike. Respect your neighbors, keep the noise down, and no parties.

Welcome to Sand Castle! This impeccable 5BD/4.5 BA beach retreat can accommodate up to 12 guests and offers plenty of space for gatherings. This home has been well-maintained, updated, and stylishly decorated! Sand Castle includes three living areas. A sitting area to enjoy your company, a family room open to the kitchen with plush leather reclining couches, a 49" Roku HDTV with Xfinity, and an upstairs giant media/sports center complete with an 80" HDTV, a rotating game table for playing air hockey or pool and a basketball arcade game.

A few blocks from the ocean and only four doors from Center Street, where most of the Island's restaurants and shops are located, this home's location is ideal! Additionally, it is only three doors down from the Lost Dog Cafe – the most popular place on Folly Beach to gather with locals and visitors for breakfast or lunch. There is also a gas station/convenience store located just a short walk away on Center Street downtown.

Pool, "Beach" and Games
The large saltwater pool will be the highlight of your stay (a walk-in shower and commode are nearby). The beautiful pool is adjacent to your private beach with white sand, a veranda, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs where you can enjoy playing volleyball, badminton, cornhole, a ladder toss game, and Bocce Ball (all game sets are provided). Also, there is a ping pong table and a magnetic dart board game in the enclosed area under the house!
The pool can be heated upon request for an additional fee of $40.00/day (added to your reservation after you place the booking). If not requested at the time of booking, this option must be requested and paid for at least two days in advance. Pool heating can only be requested for the entire length or remainder of your stay. If you would like to add this option, please note this when making your reservation or contact our office during office hours.
**Please note that the pool does not get higher than 75 degrees during the colder months from mid-December through February/mid-March. Also, the weather will affect the pool temperature, and very cold weather may keep the pool from reaching even 75 degrees. We cannot guarantee a specific temperature for any day of your stay. No refunds will be given, including if weather conditions prevent your use of the pool. The pool heater thermostat will be set to 82-84 degrees F.

MyOceanRental strives to ensure peace for all our guests, neighbors, and the community of Folly Beach. To comply with Folly Beach's new strict noise ordinance, we now use noise sensors in our properties. NoiseAware is a smart home device that measures decibel levels, is 100% privacy compliant, and does not listen or record. If the noise level exceeds the legal limit for FB, you will receive a friendly reminder text message to turn the noise down. This will help avoid any violations with the FB police that can result in fines and revoke the homeowner's business license.

Suppose the occupancy is misrepresented or a disturbance is reported at the property. In that case, we reserve the right to terminate your rental agreement and will require that you vacate the property immediately without a refund. However, we are committed to your and our community's comfort, so please let us know if we can do anything during your stay to make it more enjoyable.

Great house! Great location.

Great house suitable for our multiple generations of family members. Would definitely stay there again. The only unfortunate thing was that the pool heater was broken. We could have used the pool warmer so that our infants could swim with us.

The house was perfect for our family. It was a great location (quick walk to town and only a few blocks to the beach), it was clean, spacious, and had a ton of stuff for us to do.
