FLEXIBLE 4th of JULY dates to accommodate the SATURDAY holiday this year and avoid traveling on the 4th!! Play with the dates for an option that fits :)

Please note: This property is in a quiet residential community, and Folly Beach has a strict noise ordinance violation rule of 1 strike. Respect your neighbors, keep the noise down, and no parties.

Welcome to Sand Castle! This impeccable 5BD/4.5 BA beach retreat can accommodate up to 12 guests and offers plenty of space for gatherings. This home has been well-maintained, updated, and stylishly decorated! Sand Castle includes three living areas. A sitting area to enjoy your company, a family room open to the kitchen with plush leather reclining couches, a 49 Roku HDTV with Xfinity, and an upstairs giant media/sports center complete with an 80 HDTV, a rotating game table for playing air hockey or pool and a basketball arcade game.

A few blocks from the ocean and only four doors from Center Street, where most of the Island's restaurants and shops are located, this home's location is ideal! Additionally, it is only three doors down from the Lost Dog Cafe – the most popular place on Folly Beach to gather with locals and visitors for breakfast or lunch. There is also a gas station/convenience store located just a short walk away on Center Street downtown.

Pool, Beach and Games
The large saltwater pool will be the highlight of your stay (a walk-in shower and commode are nearby). The beautiful pool is adjacent to your private beach with white sand, a veranda, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs where you can enjoy playing volleyball, badminton, cornhole, a ladder toss game, and Bocce Ball (all game sets are provided). Also, there is a ping pong table and a magnetic dart board game in the enclosed area under the house!
The pool can be heated upon request for an additional fee of $40.00/day (added to your reservation after you place the booking). If not requested at the time of booking, this option must be requested and paid for at least two days in advance. Pool heating can only be requested for the entire length or remainder of your stay. If you would like to add this option, please note this when making your reservation or contact our office during office hours.
**Please note that the pool does not get higher than 75 degrees during the colder months from mid-December through February/mid-March. Also, the weather will affect the pool temperature, and very cold weather may keep the pool from reaching even 75 degrees. We cannot guarantee a specific temperature for any day of your stay. No refunds will be given, including if weather conditions prevent your use of the pool. The pool heater thermostat will be set to 82-84 degrees F.

MyOceanRental strives to ensure peace for all our guests, neighbors, and the community of Folly Beach. To comply with Folly Beach's new strict noise ordinance, we now use noise sensors in our properties. NoiseAware is a smart home device that measures decibel levels, is 100% privacy compliant, and does not listen or record. If the noise level exceeds the legal limit for FB, you will receive a friendly reminder text message to turn the noise down. This will help avoid any violations with the FB police that can result in fines and revoke the homeowner's business license.

Suppose the occupancy is misrepresented or a disturbance is reported at the property. In that case, we reserve the right to terminate your rental agreement and will require that you vacate the property immediately without a refund. However, we are committed to your and our community's comfort, so please let us know if we can do anything during your stay to make it more enjoyable.

    We had a wonderful stay at Folly Beach! The house was perfect for our group - lots of space inside and out and we had everything we needed. The location was perfect - walkable to great restaurants, shops, and the pier. Would stay here again!

    Host was super responsive and kind! Amenities were fantastic! The heated pool in December was amazing and definitely worth the extra cost. Beautiful property, comfortable beds, and clean home! Location was fantastic, as it was easy to drive to downtown Charleston and it was walking distance to the beach. Would gladly stay again!

    We had a wonderful time at the Sand Castle. The house was very large, clean, quiet and well appointed, with comfortable furniture and lots to do. Check-in and check-out were super easy, and we didn’t have to contact our host even once. The pool was large and a lot of fun and the location couldn’t have been better, with easy walking access to restaurants, bars and the beach, as well as short drives to Bowen’s Island for oysters and into Charleston! When we come back to Folly Beach, we’ll definitely stay here again.

    Our family of 11 had a wonderful time . The location made it easy to walk to the restaurants and shops and the house and pool were beautiful when we just wanted to relax at the house. It had plenty of room to sit together and visit and lots of spaces to spread out when we wanted to. Renting golf carts made the short distance to the beach a breeze.

    This was such a fun house to rent!! We couldn’t believe how large and clean it was! And not to mention, how close it was to town. We can’t wait to rent here again!

    The house was perfect for our group. The size, location (walk to everything) pool etc couldn’t be beat. We had 2 families with our 6 adult children and we all said we’d go back in a heartbeat and rent that house again. Plenty of space, beds and well equipped.

    We loved our stay and how quiet the home was even though it's steps away from town. The backyard is a great oasis to keep out of the crowds if you want to hang out and spend quality time.

    Great house suitable for our multiple generations of family members. Would definitely stay there again. The only unfortunate thing was that the pool heater was broken. We could have used the pool warmer so that our infants could swim with us.

    This house was wonderful. Came with my family of 5 (6, 4, and 8mo this) plus my parents. The layout was fantastic, our family had the upstairs with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The tv was huge and the games were fun for the kids. The main floor layout was great with 2 more full bedrooms and their own en suite bathrooms and walk in showers. The house is amazingly accessible for aging family members or family with physical disabilities. Lots of space to spread out within the house and everything was well taken care of. The outdoor space was perfect and we swam every day. The listing says no beach/pool gear, but plenty had been left by other tenants. We walked to Center street for some meals and shopping and the walk to the beach was quick and easy. We would 100% stay here again.
