This 3 floor, 2 Master bedroom property is conveniently located approximately 1.5 blocks from Folly's dining and shopping and less than 2 blocks from the beach which is just a quick 2-3 min walk (400 steps). Folly Beach has an array of quaint stores, coffee shops, ice-cream parlors, and numerous restaurants, so there is no need to take the car when casually stepping out at night or walking the pier.

From the moment you enter the giant doors of this custom, 3000+square foot home into the two-story foyer you will be transported into another world. Mediterranean-style architecture mixed with comfortable high-end furniture and appliances exceed all standards. You will feel pampered by the high-quality designer linens and towels as well as the quality soap products just like a five-star hotel.

This VRBO Top-ranked 5-Star* home consists of 4-5 bedrooms 3.5 baths (sleeps 10 comfortably). The kitchen is, state-of-the-art, 'to die for' with tons of granite, a professional stove, double ovens as well as microwave dishwasher and large, side-by-side refrigerator .The kitchen is open to the family room/TV room, dining room, as well as the screened porch. The screened porch is the most popular space in the house with our guests as it has comfortable lounging chairs as well as a secondary dining table. You will find yourself surrounded by tropical trees and the singing of birds mixed in with the sound of the ocean.

The living room to the front of the house can be used as an overflow living space/TV room or 5th bedroom as it has a day bed and pull out trundle as well as the sofa. Also downstairs is the second master, with a queen 4 poster-bed and a full bath. This has a door to the screened porch so this area is a beautiful unit within itself if someone wants more peace and quiet.

Upstairs there are 3 more bedrooms. The Master bedroom is huge and opulent having a king size bed and plenty of extra space .The spa like bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub and a separate shower. There are two further queen bedrooms upstairs sharing a Jack-and-Jill, beautifully tiled bathroom. The larger of these bedrooms has a great ocean view from the queen-size bed ideal for lazy days. There are TV'S in 2 of the upstairs bedrooms and one left without on request so Kids don't stay awake all night watching!

The most spectacular aspect of this home is the ocean-side deck, perfect for days you want to lounge and sun without being at the beach, or for catching the cool night breezes and ocean sounds as you dine alfresco or gather with friends.

Underneath the home is a spectacular outdoor kitchen with a large prep area, a full gas range and sink as well as a large dinning table. There is an outdoor shower and a storage area for the sun chairs we provide. There is a 3-4 car enclosed garage as well as lots of space for at least 7 cars in the driveways in the front and back of the home.

This home is for a family or group who appreciate such luxury yet want the casual fun feel of Folly. With all we have to offer, as well as making it available to owners of mature well-behaved dogs (at no extra cost), this house has been a Folly favorite for vacationers for many years.

Wonderful house!

This is a great house - especially for a large group - although we were just a couple staying there. The house is extremely well provisioned with everything you need to be comfortable or to cook, and the hosts are very thoughtful in giving you information and tips to enjoy the place. There are numerous great spots to hang out in with your friends or families in different parts of the property, including outside spaces, screened in porches, etc. it's a one minute walk to a lovely beach. For dog lovers, it's particularly wonderful, because the owners are clearly dog lovers and have lots of helpful touches to make sure your pups enjoy the stay as well.

Great Folly Location

This rental had one of the best property managers. He answered all of my many questions patiently. Communication was so quick and friendly. By the time we finally made it to Folly, I felt like I should have invited him over for a visit. The location in Folly is great and there is ample parking, a huge plus when you are staying with multiple families. That house has everything and I mean everything! There was even a stroller we could use with my granddaughter. The house is also dog friendly with gates and a crate. We might have brought our dog if we had known how well laid out it was for them. The layout of the house worked so well for our family because my mom, who has difficulty with stairs, was able to stay on the ground floor bedroom. And let’s not forget the amazing shower in the master bedroom! In short, this is a well equipped house in a great location with an excellent host.

Great proximity with amazing owner

I have nothing but great things to say about this property. From the moment we booked, the host was in communication and gave us all the info we needed right up until the second we checked out. We opted to rent the golf cart which I recommend doing as it’s so much easier to get around and find parking. The home had everything we needed plus more! It’s walking distance into town or a very short golf cart ride and same to the beach! If you’re on the fence then this is your sign to book it!

What a great way to spend a week with family and friends celebrating a special birthday. The house and amenities are as advertised, The spacious outside patios and decks only add to the experience. Everything is within walking distance from this house, to include the Key West vibe that is Folly Beach. The beach is just a few steps away and the recent beach replenishment made for better beach days. The homeowner is great to work with and communicated with us answering questions.

I really don't see how our stay could have been better. This house was PERFECT for our needs. We were in town to marry off my oldest. We held the rehearsal dinner at Unleashed. There was so much room. Appetizers under a tent on the front lawn, Low country boil on the patios and dessert on the counter. Everyone loved it. The host was super attentive, responsive and helpful.There are many reasons this property is so highly rated.
