The open living area has a large flat screen smart HDTV, Bose system, and DVD player. Apps available for guests' to use personal logins.

This island condominium will slow you down and make you relax. It is all you need to unwind. Nothing has been overlooked. Owners take pride in providing guests a home away from home with comfortable beds, plush towels, and many extras. Romantic for a couples retreat, family vacation, or girls/guys get away.
This is a perfect place for Citadel and College of Charleston parents to stay for visits and graduations.

The music is always wonderful in Folly Beach or check out The Pour House and Charleston Music Hall. You may also enjoy the nearby shopping in Charleston and outlets. This location has something for everyone.
Laid back is the best way to describe Folly Beach. Life on Folly Beach follows a fun, relaxing pace. During the winter, it is a small town at the end of I26. In the summer, it is a vacation destination. Locals proclaim, “We have the best waves, the best nightlife and the best beach atmosphere along the Charleston Coast...don’t tell anyone.”
Folly Beach is home to the famous Morris Lighthouse, colorful locals, sand, sun, and some of the best surf on the East Coast. Also home to many species of endangered wildlife. Folly is a nature lover’s dream complete with a maritime forest and dolphin filled waters. Due to the abundance of outdoor activities and water sports, this normally sleepy beach town comes to life during the warmer months, welcoming visitors and locals alike to water ski, kayak, fish, crab, and surf. Folly offers the best of both worlds with six miles of beach on one side and equally stunning river views on the other.
For many Folly is considered “Charleston’s beach” because it is located just 8 miles from the historic peninsula. Although it’s close to all the great things Charleston has to offer, once you cross the Folly River, you feel a world away. A dazzling combination of bohemian style and laidback hospitality make this quiet little beach town a true gem on the “Edge of America”.

We’ve rented this condo multiple times, and as always, it did not disappoint. The condo is beautiful, always meticulously clean and very well-equipped. The marsh view and its breathtaking sunsets are spectacular!! Its proximity to both the beach and downtown Charleston can’t be beat. The hosts are wonderful to deal with, and we look forward to staying here again and again.

Beautiful view. Sunsets were gorgeous. Beds are very comfortable and decor is beautiful. Everything has been updated, and the pictures don’t do it justice. I could have spent the entire trip sitting on the screen porch. You get the best of both worlds. Super close to the beach and Folly Island’s cute little downtown, and an easy half hour drive into Charleston. Condo was fully stocked with anything you could need including binoculars to watch the wildlife. We will absolutely stay here again on our next visit to the Charleston area.

This property was beautifully decorated. It was close to the downtown area, restaurants and bars. It was about 3/4 of a mile to the beach. The beach area was absolutely beautiful. We were only about 20 minutes away from downtown Charleston. Too bad there wasn’t a tiki bar at the pool.

Family vacation for five adults. Linda was very communicative and made sure check-in went smoothly and we settled in nicely. Plenty of space for lounging and sleeping. Loved sitting on the balcony just taking in the views and getting some pool time in! Liked that it wasn’t directly in town, but close enough we could easily head there for dinner.

My family and I stayed at Linda’s beautiful Folly Beach condo over Memorial Day 2025. As the description stated, it is breathtaking! The condo was immaculate, spacious, and so cozy! We spent mornings sipping coffee on the screened-in porch and evenings watching for dolphins in folly creek. We will be coming back again to folly beach, and we will for sure be booking at this condo. We loved it and did not want to leave! Also, Linda was very responsive and great to work with. We would give 10 stars out of 5, if I could!

Paradise near Charleston
As a seasoned traveler that has managed other VRBO properties, this sweet place ranks high on our list. Look no further if you're wanting to be in a retreat location between the city and the beach to take it all in. I spend weeks finding hidden gems for comfort, updated interiors including the common areas. Great screened in porch to enjoy your morning coffee and watch the sunset or walk to the marina side to sit in the Adirondack chairs for your private viewing. For stormy days, our family of grown men and me enjoyed relaxing in the comfy living room. We have celiac so cooking is essential and the kitchen is on point to do so. No noisy foot traffic above either so peaceful night sleeping to rise and walk the shoreline for the sunrise. Needless to say, we hope to return sooner than later. Some fun spots to enjoy: Bowens Island Restaurant for a rustic throwback in time. (I can vouch for this place as my cousins have owned it since 1946). Take a dolphin excursion. Go out fishing early morning with Captain Jeffery owner of Drumroll Fishing. Great quality time!A little Folly Beach pub crawl should include Low Life Erik Estrada amazing cocktail. Also, rooftop Taco Boy and Catch 23.Ritas for dinner on the patio and Lost Dog Cafe for breakfast. Bert's Market is an iconic throwback to walk through at least once. Enjoy!

Came for a family wedding downtown and wanted to stay away from the hustle and bustle. Linda‘s home was so quiet, comfortable very well appointed.
