The PALMETTO PEARL is not just another Beach House. It's an exceptional vacation experience. Privacy just 150 yards from the Ocean is hard to find in any Beach Community. That's only one of the many features The Palmetto Pearl has to offer. This absolutely unique original Folly Beach Property has been in our family for over 40 years and was offered as a Vacation Rental in 2012 after undergoing a complete renovation. Since that time we have continued to upgrade the house on an annual basis. During the pandemic lockdown we took the opportunity to completely refurnish the great room and the screen porch. The back deck was completely renovated with a new composite deck. A new driveway with designated parking was also added. The Palmetto Pearl is set back from the roadway on a high lot surrounded by a small forest of Palmetto (Palm) Trees and Grande Oaks. The back deck offers fabulous sunset's with private views of the estuaries and salt marshes of the Folly River. With easy access to the Beach, the Palmetto Pearl is additionally less than a 1/4 mile from the Washout reportedly some of the best surfing on the east coast, and the venue for many sanctioned surfing competitions throughout the year. The Palmetto Pearl is in close proximity to all Folly River Recreational Activities such as para-sailing or kayaking and canoeing expeditions. As well, public tennis courts are within 5 blocks of the house, only a short bike ride away or even shorter drive where parking is available. All of this and the comforts and privacy of a family home. Nestled among the Palmettos you can enjoy the Morning Sunrise or Afternoon Ocean Breezes on the screened porch that runs along the entire front of the house without baking in the heat of Charleston's summer sun or catch some afternoon rays or evening cocktails in complete privacy of the back sundeck which boasts a gas grill, generous seating and plenty of space for entertaining or just lounging about. Bicycle and golf cart rentals are also available on the island.


Keywords: Newly Renovated and Updated. This Authentic Folly Beach House has been in the family for over 40 years. Nestled in a forrest of Palms with private views of the Folly River's marshes and estuaries this home sits only 150 yards from the Beach Front. Convenience and Privacy make this a truly unique resort property.

    Just a wonderful, clean beach house. Easy walk to the beach, lovely property, and particularly loved the screened-in front porch.

    If you plan to stay at this cottage you will not regret it. The owners have thought of everything you may need during your stay. It was very clean and and very comfortable. I would highly recommend this cottage if you plan to stay in Folly. The whole cottage was very homey. Parking was great. Beach was just a short walk away. It was hard to leave. Definitely recommend we loved it.

    Overall, the experience was really good! The beach access is a short two minute walk away and the beach is not packed like it can get down at the pier. Nothing was really bad or wrong, but a few amenities and touches here and there would have made it 5-star. My son absolutely loved the beach house and thought it was perfect though.

    Property owner refused to remedy unacceptable level of cleanliness. Photos attached. I sent evidence to owner and was ghosted. Front lock code unreliable. It's a shame the host was such a jerk. Otherwise, we would gladly return. Location and proximity to beach was great.

    Quiet area very close to the beach! The back deck was great for birdwatching in the morning. The house is very simple and comfortable. Perfect for a short stay. We enjoyed walking 1.5 miles into town every evening though some may want a cart for this. The house does not have a washer/dryer or dishwasher but everything else makes up for it!

    Marsh View was immaculately clean and the perfect location for a short walk to the beach. Although we had a rental car, we took a quick Uber ride back and forth to town and restaurants just to be on the safe side. Access to the house was easy with the code provided. We did end up replacing one of the beach chairs which had seen better days, but so pleased the chairs were provided since we flew in. Owners responded quickly to any questions. Would definitely stay here again!

    Very nice little beach cottage. Clean and orderly. Lots of paperwork and rules, but that’s a sign of the times I guess. Closest beach access is convenient and a nice uncrowded spot on Folly. Nice marsh in the backyard that allowed for some good birding in the back yard. Need a golf cart or bikes to best get around the island.

    The location was wonderful. A mile walk into Folly proper, on the marsh and a 5 minute walk to the beach. The house was a nice 2 bedroom off the road. It was airy and just right for our family of 4 adults. The front screened porch was a nice get away and the back deck wonderful for morning coffee with t a marsh view. Chairs and boogie board were available for the beach. The only thing I would have wanted was an easily functioning sliding door to the deck and dish towels (we didn't find any if they were there. I would definitely stay there again.

    Have not stayed at a VRBO on vacation but this was easy to book and communicating with the owners Bob and Shirley made our trip preparation and planning a breeze. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed for a great stay. Would definitely book and stay here again
