Welcome to Islay Folly on Folly Beach! Only a few blocks from the beach and 1/2 mile from Center Street. Our home offers easy access to all the excitement of Folly while also being your oasis of
calm. Four spacious bedrooms sleep 10 people; 3.5 baths, and large living spaces, both inside and out, provide a space for everyone. Designed for guests who treasure time together but may also desire a way to spread out -- to tuck in some work, crack open a favorite novel, or start a puzzle. 

Located on a cul-de-sac and with a large yard, the house offers play areas for kids, 2 driveways and large carport, full-length open front porch, large screened in back porch, back deck, gas grill, outdoor shower -- plus all the indoor amenities to make your vacation one of comfort and ease.

1ST FLOOR
Open floor plan invites family and friends to spend time together cooking, eating, playing games, watching a movie, and enjoying one another’s company. The table seats 8-10 with additional seating at the counter next to it. The screen porch table seats 10; the table on the open deck seats 4 more. The huge peninsula is perfect for group cooking; the 6-burner gas range and 2 ovens allow you maximum menu flexibility. The kitchen is fully stocked. Add lots of cabinet space for your supplies, abundant prep space, 2 sinks and disposals - you have everything you need to enjoy meals at the beach.

Living room offers a large flat-screen TV and entertainment center. The large ensuite master bedroom on the 1st floor includes a walk-in closet, access to the screened in porch, and a full bathroom with double sinks in the long vanity, private toilet room, and roomy walk-in shower. The 1st floor laundry room makes it easy to keep up.

2ND FLOOR
Common space beckons those who desire a place for solo activity. Work, read, reflect in a chair or on the deck or settle into 1 of the 3 bedrooms. The bedroom on the right is perfect for kids or a family with a full-size bed and bunk beds. The middle bedroom has one queen. The right and middle bedrooms share the full bathroom that is accessible from the hall. The huge left bedroom acts as a secondary master with 1 king bed, love seat, and ensuite full bathroom.

OUR AREA & THE BEACH
Public beach accesses are a 10-minute walk. The golf cart is available as an option to be rented at the home, which you may enjoy to travel to the beach and exploring the island. After a fun day at
the beach, take a stroll down to Center Street for dinner and drinks. A 20-minute drive brings you to downtown Charleston with all the history, tours, art, theater, museums, and world-class shops and restaurants that showcase the best of the Lowcountry.

The house was very spacious and beautiful, perfect considering we had to stay in the house for three days straight while the tropical storm passed through. Absolutely loved how well stocked the kitchen was. Having a huge garage also helped! Carolina one was fantastic and responding to an HVAC issue when we got there. It was resolved Within one hour.

The home was clean and in great condition upon arrival. Having two master bedrooms and 3-1/2 baths alleviated any concerns about comfort and space for two families. The outdoor shower and a number of hoses were great for cleaning sand off of guests and gear. Conveniently only minutes away from the center of Folly or the beach on foot or bike. Easy and quick car ride to enjoy historic downtown Charleston.

Islay Folly is a wonderful house for a weeks vacation. Perfect for a family vacation. It was very well equipped, the best equipped house we have ever stayed in for a weeks vacation. The beds were comfortable and the screened in porch perfect. It was as if we stepped into someone's full time personal home. We thoroughly enjoyed our vacation because of staying here!

I would highly recommend this vacation home. Islay Folly is perfectly appointed for anyone who loves to cook. The quiet neighborhood is a short walk away from some of the most beautiful beaches in South Carolina. The local fish market has top notch seafood! The local cafes and restaurants had live music and wonderful service.

Great place to stay. Super quiet and serene. The property was wonderful! We did not expect it to be so well outfitted. The kitchen had everything (and more) that we could have wanted. It's obvious the property owners have anticipated travelers' needs! I love how well everything was labeled. The downstairs master bed was super comfy. I'll be looking for open dates soon!

This was a great place to stay with our family for Spring Break. We rented a golf cart (highly recommended- since you are not on the beach) and we also rented bikes. The home was very nice, spacious, and extremely clean! We had tons of space, everything was updated, and the kitchen was so organized! Renting this house made our stay in Folly so wonderful. The only thing to note is that there are a lot of stairs going up to the house, so keep that in mind if there are people who are older staying with you (or
