Private Home Located Two Blocks from Restaurants/Shops & 1 Street From Beach!

License#: LIC000173(STR24-A0296)
Please note: This property is in a quiet residential community and Folly Beach has a strict noise ordinance violation rule of 1 strike. Simply respect your neighbors, keep the noise down, and NO parties:) Maximum capacity at all times is 8 guests.

Originally built by Joe back when time moved a little slower, summer days seemed to melt into one another and family and friends gathered on porches to enjoy light conversation and cocktails while benefiting from the evening breeze. This lovely, updated 1950's private home helps you step back into a simpler time, curling up with a good book, living shoeless and never needing to get into your car unless you absolutely must leave the Island.
As you enter the home you are greeted with original heart pine floors, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and an open and airy floor plan with two seating areas and dining room. Equipped with a fully stocked kitchen for all your dining/food preparation needs. The kitchen opens up directly to the front wrap around porch and also to a lovely seating area inside. Perfect layout for friends and family to gather while the chef prepares the evening meal, while not being excluded from the conversations and happenings of the day. Off of the kitchen you will find the main living room along with a Roku Flat Screen TV for all your viewing needs. This home has Direct TV and WIFI. Dining Room is directly off and open to the main living room. Dining Table is set for six people and there's additional seating for three at the bartop in the adjacent kitchen area.
The Master Suite is located on one side of the home, off to itself. This room was just updated in early 2020 with a new King mattress. A closet, chest of drawers and two luggage racks complete the space. All beds are prepared with 100% cotton linens. The spacious bathroom on this side of the home has a spacious walk-in shower and double pedestal sinks. The queen bedroom is furnished with a luggage rack and has plenty of hooks to hang personal items. The bathroom in this bedroom was completely remodeled in late 2019. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower and plenty of cabinet space for clothing and bath items. The twin bedroom has 3 twin beds with an additional twin bed in a smaller nook. This room can sleep 4 and has it's own bathroom with a walk-in shower.
Front, covered wrap around porch has a comfortable seating area with a private natural screen. The front yard is fully fenced. Large, open back yard with outdoor gas grill and private outdoor shower with running hot/cold water. Washer/Dryer are located in the "crab shack" which is not attached to the house but directly off the porch in it's own separate building.
This home is ground level and perfect for those who might have difficulty navigating stairs. The maximum capacity for this house is 8 people at any time. This is not an event home. There's plenty of off street parking in the back yard. No Smoking Inside. No pets.

Great Location with Lots of Room

This was a wonderful location with enough bedrooms and bathrooms that everyone had their own space. The home was clean and within walking distance to town and the beach which allowed us to quickly walk to see the most beautiful sunrise!!

Joe’s Folly is the coolest house, great for our kids too. We felt so cozy and at home. The location is awesome; you can walk anywhere easily. The yard is great for playing too. The house was clean and had all we needed. Thanks so much for sharing this special place with us.

Wonderful Week

Great little getaway! The home was just as advertised and a perfect space for our group of 7. The location is walkable to downtown, but not so close you hear it all night. The owners provide everything you need to make it comfortable and relaxing! Would absolutely stay again!

Family beach vacation

This home is beautiful and was perfect for our party of 7. My husband and I traveled with our 3 kids (8,6,&3) along with my parents. We were so comfortable and footsteps to the public beach access.

Cute cottage in a great location! Beds were very comfortable! Easy walking distance to beach and all our favorite spots in town. Fireplace is not functional, but not a big deal to us.

Lovely homey immaculate. A real beach house with southern charm.

The house was really nicely outfitted with everything that you would ever need. No kayaks or bikes but you can rent them a stones throw away. Easy walk into town for good eats and dive surfer bars!

Added golf cart rental and loved being close to Bert's.

All was wonderful. Only hiccup was there was only 1 refrigerator/freezer, and it was advertised as having two. Otherwise we would very much consider it again.

Amazing Hidden Gem

Joe’s Folly was perfect for my brother’s bachelor party! It’s a beautiful little piece of property that comfortable slept 7, and was close enough to everything from the beach to downtown Charleston that we never felt removed from where we wanted to go! The hosts were incredibly communicative, helpful, and kind, and followed through even after our stay was over with things that may have been left behind. I would book this property again in a heartbeat if I’m planning another trip to Folly Beach!

Amazing Find!

This property was outstanding. Perfect location on Folly Beach. Walking distance to downtown Folly and a block away from beach access. Management was so prompt with communication and went above expectations. If I could give 10 stars I would. We will be back!

“Family” Getaway

We were a group of 8, two families of 4, including a pair of 22 year olds and a pair of 19 year olds. Joes Folly was perfect! The house is furnished beautifully. We spent a lot of time on the porch. We appreciated the proximity to the beach, town and Bert’s. The second fridge came in handy. This property is #1 on our list for next year!

Good for family; close to beach

Well maintained and nicely updated vintage house easy walk to beach. Quiet indoors even though facing busy Ashley. Easy parking access from Cooper and mature trees shade the house most of the day. Small fenced yard for little kids - but don’t trust a curious 3 year old anyway. Never heard or saw a neighbor.

Charming beach house

We had a wonderful stay at this adorable house for spring break. Very close to beach and Folly’s downtown area. Perfect house for families with kids because there are 4 twin beds. We loved that everything was on one floor with only 3 steps to the house since our youngest son has muscular dystrophy and cannot climb steps easily. It is not fully wheelchair accessible but works well for people with limited mobility. The house had plenty of room for our family of 5 and we could have even brought my parents along. House was well stocked with kitchen essentials, beach chairs, toys, and beach towels and even a rolling cart to get everything to the beach. We appreciated the unique features of the house like the original hardwood floors, wooden beams, fireplace, and outdoor shower. We loved our stay here!

Joe’s Folly

This was our second year staying at Joe’s Folly. We had a wonderful week. We had 5 adults and 2 children. The kitchen contains everything you need to cook in for the week. The house has 3 full bathrooms plus hot/cold water in the outdoor shower. There are also laundry facilities on the property. When we had a question the property manager was quick to respond. Everything was in good working condition. We had a wonderful week.
