This waterfront retreat is in a beloved location on Folly Beach, facing Ashley River. Admire sunrises, sunsets, and beautiful water views – see if you can spot dolphins – from the sun porch and gazebo. When you’re not admiring the view, you can explore the area on foot or by bike – your host generously provides bikes as well as kayaks and a paddleboard. You can also fish and crab from the dock. The house is perfect for a family, with a cosy living space, a fully equipped kitchen, and three beautiful bedrooms. Historic Charleston is just a twenty-minute drive away.

About James Island
Sandwiched between the Stono and Folly River, James Island is just across the harbour from buzzing Charleston but feels like a world away from the city. The creeks and swamps are home to unique birdlife in protected nature reserves, and you can still find that distinctly Southern charm at the rustic fish cook-outs overlooking the singing marshland. It’s the kind of place where folks spend the evening watching the sunset...
