This house is great. Directly adjacent to the beach (about 50' down your own private access. There is another structure between this house and the beach. This might seem like a problem, but it is not at all because of the way it is designed still affording this house has a nice view of the ocean and a lot of back deck privacy, while blocking some of the wind. If you have dogs, the nicely landscaped streetside yard is fenced, which is a real asset for the morning routine. It is about a 6 minute drive into Folly, and about 20 into Charleston (if you pay attention to the 25 MPH speed limit which is advised). Believe me, you really don't want to be closer to down town. We have been to Folly 6 or 7 times in the last few years, and this has been the best lodging experience. Highly recommended. .
