Sand Castle - Beach Retreat - Saltwater Heated Pool - 1st Block from the Center St.

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.

In that case, we reserve the right to terminate your rental agreement and will require that you vacate the property immediately without a refund.

Great house! Great location.
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.

Great experience!
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.

The house was exactly as shown, and was perfect for us and the management went beyond. When our coffee maker blew up. They brought us a new one within 30 minutes. I highly recommend staying here it’s close to everything. And there’s so much to do in and around the house. You will never get bored. It’s also relaxing and cozy. Thank you.

A beautiful home that has something for everyone!
Our family loved this charming home! Very warm and inviting. We also appreciated the fact that it was accommodating to elderly family members having a lift chair and accessible wheelchair at the home. There are many activities to do inside and out, something to enjoy for all ages!! We will definitely be staying here again!! One of the nicest and most accommodating homes we have ever stayed at! Many thanks to the family for allowing us the opportunity to stay and enjoy a week that filled us with memories we will share for years to come.

Family Vacay
We have vacationed on Folly for the past 30 years usually staying oceanfront. Last year weather was uncooperative and we found ourselves inside with nothing to do. This year we decided on this house not only because of the space and outdoor pool but there is no way anyone could say they were bored.; Having the pool to return to in the afternoons with the children was heaven sent. Beach is literally an easy walk. This house has so many activities and fun indoor and outdoor activities. My only complaint was having children they wanted to play all of the arcade games and they cost $$ which was frustrating and also tormenting to them. But between the corn hole, outdoor play structure, volleyball net, ping pong and salt water pool it was a great time by all. The convenience of center street and restaurants and bars were great for the other adults. Having the many different gathering areas was great for all as well. The heat was much and there was an issue with the upstairs far right bedroom but there was a fan and the couple in the room just dealt with it . Overall , we can't wait to return next year :-)

Folly Beach family adventure
The saltwater pool was a big hit with everyone but especially my two grandsons, ages 8 and 10. They also enjoyed the air hockey and pac man games upstairs. The house fit our family of 7. I appreciate that there were coffee filters and extra TP. The house is located so close to shops, restaurants and the beach we didn’t drive anywhere on the island. Prepare for extra time to get to Folly Beach. We were there June 10-17

Awesome vacation home!
This house was absolutely wonderful for our family vacation! Big bedrooms, clean, beautifully decorated and so many hidden features. The location was a short walk to Center St. and to the beach- loved this so we could just put the grandchildren in strollers instead of the car. We did rent a golf cart though so that we could easily transport all our beach gear. The pool and the sandy play area was exceptional and it’s where we ended up spending so much of our time. This was by far one of our best vacation homes!

The home is in poor overall condition. The bathrooms have mold and the bathroom faucets are full of soap scum. The floors are not attached and are dangerous to walk on. The kitchen Utensils we're dirty with food stuck to them. The pool chairs were dirty and broken. Paint is chipping inside and outside the home.

Pool a must
The property was in a great location. Near all restaurants (walking distance). It lacked an ocean view but the pool made up for that short fall. It is one of the only few with a pool which was great for the kids and adults for after the beach and during the days that we took a break from the beach. The house was very clean. I would stay here again if the family decides to go back to Folly Beach.
