Turtle Watch BEACH FRONT - owner managed.
5 bedrooms and 3 full baths beautifully spacious and very comfortable home. It has spectacular sunrises and moon-rises over the pier with full view of the Ocean, all from the screened-in porch off the Main living room floor. The screened in porch is really the focal point for any beach front home....No Bugs! It has composite decking so also very nice on the feet and good for babies to crawl on as well. The hammock on the screened in porchis a must of course. Nothing like a nap to sounds of the ocean!

Turtle Watch Beach House is far enough away from town to hear the ocean sing yet so close with a 10min walk to town. In the summer May - October Sea Turtles arrive on Folly Beach to nest for hundreds of years right in the backyard. It's an amazing site to witness quietly!

Turtle Watch is beautifully decorated with updated furniture and decor from beach spots all over the globe. The furnishing and decor give this home a very comfortable homey vibe. There are several areas to tuck away and relax with a book, sway in 1 of 2 hammocks, gather for games or just be in the moment from the upstairs library, (2) sundecks, screened in porch, office area or one of the three seating areas on the main level or two seatings area on the ground level. Or maybe, let Owner know you would like to arrange to rent a golf cart, or bikes, and have them ready upon your arrival for nice stroll over the 4 miles of Folly Beach, the closest beach to Charleston Downtown, 15mins!

Turtle Watchs' (5) bedrooms are also fully appointed with a TV in every sleeping all with steaming. Beds are (2) Kings (2) Queens (1) twin/double bunk (1) and day bed and are all very comfortable with GOOD mattresses, good thread linens and non - lumpy pillows with four on every bed. (2) sets of bath, hand and face towels in each room.

Kitchen is opened up all the way around a gas stove top in the island for easy cooking. With a kitchen that is fully stocked with all the kitchenware imaginable: blenders, choppers, toasters, 12 cup coffee, 1 cup Kuerig, baking and roasting dishes, pots, pans, casserole dishes. Plus place settings, cutlery and glassware, for 14ppl. Owner loves cooking and entertaining. You should want for nothing.

Turtle Watch Beach House provides ample beach and activity accessories. (6) beach chairs, (3-4) umbrellas, (8) Beach towels, an array of beach buckets, pales, shovels for building sandcastles, beach paddle ball, frisbees, and a tub of baby water toys including an a small baby pool!

The private beach access walkway is key to a beach front home. Owner put in an IPE wood beach access boardwalk to the beach. What does this means its a brazilian hardwood with very smooth surfaces so NO SPLINTERS! Yippie! It's very nice on the feet as apposed to old cracking wood decks.

The two sun decks, one on the 3rd floor for privacy and one along the Board Walk between the house and the beach are a great seating area or for private sun bathing areas.

Historic Charleston is within an easy 15 minute driving distance. Downtown Charleston has an outstanding array of Cuisine, Harbor Dining, Roof Top Dining, and of course Causal Dining. Tip: Seafood is fresh and definitely a must to sample. The market section in Downtown is sure to please any avid shopper. Charleston has several Historic Mansions and Gardens nearby. Also, the lovely Towns of Beaufort, SC and Savannah, GA are only one hour by car and offers the most beautiful Low Country settings.

Turtle Watch rents weekly only Saturday to Saturday.

    Very nice house, very well equipped. We enjoyed the boardgames and puzzles and skimboards. The kitchen had great tableware and in high enough counts to get us easily through 2 meals, which was great. It also is well equipped in general, allowing for great cooking. The host was very responsive and answered any questions in an impressively short time. The beach views are gorgeous. We really enjoyed our stay!

    Turtle Watch is an amazing property. When looking for a rental home, the write up always sounds great and the photos are beautiful. But sometimes when you get there, they don’t measure up. Turtle Watch does! The home is so clean! I literally found nothing to complain about. There are so many nice, thoughtful touches throughout the house. You will be pleasantly surprised by how well appointed it is. The beach chairs were in great condition, lots of beach toys, towels and sheets were high quality. The location is great for exploring Charleston, getting to the grocery ( several choices within 10 minutes), and you can walk into Folly Beach’s downtown. Melanie was so responsive and welcoming. You can’t go wrong with Turtle Watch.

    From the moment we arrived at this jaw dropping property, it was absolute perfection. It was perfectly stocked with all the essentials. Beds were so comfortable that I reached out to Melanie to find out what pillows she buys. The view…the screened porch…the dolphins…beyond expectations! Thank you!!!!!

    This house was perfect for all of us. Right on the beach. Home and beds were very comfortable. We had kids and there we games and toys for all the kids. I would recommend this home for families. Location made for a very short walk to town and restaurants. All and all it was a perfect beach vacation.

    Wonderful oceanfront home with great views and easy beach access. Melanie, the host, is responsive and very well organized. The house is thoroughly equipped, including a well organized kitchen, board games, beach games, a ping pong table and even a variety of sunscreens. Our family had a great time!

    We had an amazing time at Turtle Watch! The house was so stocked with amenities and made us feel right at home right when we got there! The beach was fabulous and we had four really amazing beach days. When the storm rolled in we really felt safe in the house and the owner reached out a couple of times to check in on us. Our favorite was the screened in porch and we spent hours and hours as a family just relaxing out there. House was very clean as well! Such a great place.

    Get into the Folly low key vibe with this beauty of a rental. Easy access and perfect location make this a wonderfully peaceful family vacation. We chose to cook some evenings in the well-appointed kitchen and other times to walk/bike to a neat local hang for lunch or happy hr. Folly still has the local flavor of long ago! We loved everything about the week. This home made it so easy. We especially loved the sunrises on the balcony watching the surfers in the waves. Fun!

    Well, our trip didn’t go quite as planned due to Hurricane/Tropical Storm Debby. That being said, the two days that we were there were perfect. Melanie had plenty of accessories to have an enjoyable time on the beach as well as games to play while indoors. Communication with her was top notch especially with the storm approaching. I would highly recommend this property for a relaxing beach vacation.
