Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Enjoy a fabulous view of the water from Folly Drifter, a 3BR/2BA oceanfront home. All on one level and raised on stilts, this delightful beach home recently underwent a total makeover, with new appliances, modern amenities, and fresh decor. The private deck looks straight out to the ocean, and there’s private access to the beach boardwalk.
A prime location just 20 minutes from historic Charleston, this peaceful retreat is ideal for those seeking to truly get away from it all.
LIVING AREA
Recessed lighting and sliding glass doors create a bright and breezy ambience in the living room. Furnished with a comfy couch, two armchairs, and a 55” TV, this is a great spot to watch a movie or simply enjoy the breathtaking ocean views.
KITCHEN & DINING
The well-equipped and updated kitchen has everything you need to prepare hearty group meals, complete with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.
Enjoy breakfast at the center island with seating for four. Or gather your group for dinner at the dining table, which also seats four.
BEDROOMS & BATHS
This home sleeps up to seven guests between the three bedrooms.
Watch the waves roll ashore from the master bedroom, furnished with a plush queen bed and 50” TV. The en-suite master bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower.
The second guest room has a queen bed and 46” TV, while the third bedroom features a twin-over-full bunk bed and 42” TV.
A guest bathroom is configured with a tub/shower combination.
OUTDOOR AREAS
Sip coffee on the front porch, furnished with two rocking chairs. A picnic bench in the carport area invites alfresco meals.
The partially covered deck offers an incredible view of the water. With three lounge chairs, two rocking chairs, and additional seating, your group will have plenty of space to sunbathe and socialize. Fire up the charcoal grill and enjoy a family barbecue. Or head down the steps and follow the path to the gate – where you will find direct access to the beach. Relax in the sand or spend sunny afternoons surfing waves.

THE LOCATION

Ratings and reviews
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
The grounds were littered with tree trash, there were exposed nails in the front and back porches. Fence in disrepair.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·May 2025
Great view from inside and the particular location are winners. Older and tight master bathroom. No live cable news channels are offered. Large new house under construction next door on the south side and extending beyond the back of the house. Construction during the day and future privacy on the deck may be issues. Looks great for young families but too tight for more than one couple if seniors.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Apr 2025
We came down to celebrate our daughter’s 13th birthday. Great location right on beach.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Dec 2022
The house location was the best part of this rental. The beach was quiet and the beach access was great and easy. The house accommodated our family just fine but don't let the photos fool you. The interior wood wall panels were warped badly, the cabinets were old with drawers not opening easily, the dryer didn't dry well and made a very loud sound during the cycle, the master bath floor moved when someone was in the adjacent bathroom, and the AC unit didn't cool the space very quickly/effectively. The property managers repainted and installed granite counters to give the impression of a "remodel" but only scratched the surface. The property managers were not very helpful when our power went out for over two hours and told us to "wait an hour and call back." Finally, the fourth property manager person was able to list the home as without power with the main utility company.
