$250 Beach gear credit included with all new reservations! *Applies to 3-21 night stays only

A true oceanfront home that others are compared to! The Lighthouse is a treat for everyone who stays here with ocean views from practically every room in the house. One step into the foyer and you are greeted by vaulted ceilings, high windows and expansive ocean views. Large ocean side decks run the length of the house...perfect for gathering, eating or just lounging about. Open floor plan includes the great room, dining room and kitchen to create easy flow and multiple gathering spots for family and friends, all with an ocean view. Spacious kitchen layout with center island is nice for preparing large meals. House amenities include WIFI internet, large TV's, and a powerful blender.

First level master suite has king bed and private bathroom with shower and a garden tub. Also on the first, main level is a twin bed guestroom that doubles as the kids media room and opens to the porch. Upstairs has 2 guest bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. 3rd bonus room is smaller and does not have a closet. All have 3 rooms have queen size beds, two of the rooms with private oceanfront deck access. This home is very clean and comfortable for your family gathering!

Located 5 blocks from Folly's 'Center Street,' it is an easy walk down the beach to the fishing pier and all the shops and restaurants, yet far enough from the bustle of the town. Off-street parking underneath the house is the perfect place to leave your car and all your worries. Bring games, puzzles and cards, but be prepared to do as little as possible! Just a short, 25-minute drive will have you to historical, downtown Charleston, SC to enjoy all of the charm that the Holy City has to offer.

We prefer a minimum of 4-night stay reservations. This home is non-smoking and Not pet-friendly. No events allowed that exceed the maximum occupancy of the home. Must be 25 years or older to rent, no exceptions. No gatherings allowed that exceed the maximum occupancy of the home. Please contact us at Carolina One Vacation Rentals if you have any questions, or need assistance booking at 843-588-1212. Our local, knowledgeable staff is here to help. We hope to see you soon on Folly Beach!

We had a wonderful reunion with family. Enjoyed the beauty of this home and its proximity to the ocean. Thank you! You do a wonderful job of keeping your guests abreast of everything from the time we first rented the unit to the day we left. That means a lot to us.

Great location and incredible views! The house is a bit dated, but that is easily overlooked by the incredible ocean views and ideal location. With 5 bedrooms the house has ample space for large families/ group gatherings. Easy walk to the restaurant/ bar/ Pier area of Folly Beach.

This home served our purposes wonderfully, and I am thankful for your prompt help when I screwed up the front door locks. If we were to return to Folly, then I would definitely look this property up again. It was a great experience and I am grateful the owners have shared their place with us.

What a nice home! Convenient to downtown Folly, maybe 1/2 mile. We had a party of nine and everyone loved their stay. My only complaint was the twin beds downstairs for two married adults but it all worked out in the end. We knew we were going to a house with twin beds. Again, loved the location and the size of the home for all of us. Wasn't too cramped with all of us in there eating our meals. Also, place had decent sharp knives and utensils as well as glassware that was in great shape. We'll definitely re
