Seconds to the Sea!

Location, location, location. Literally steps to the sand from this relaxing beach abode! Just roll out of bed and walk through the tree lined tunnel straight to the boardwalk of your own fairly private beach! Bring your dogs and let them roam the huge fenced in backyard lined with live oaks and a fire pit for the family to unite. A quieter part of Folly where the surfers like to shred but still only a short while to the bars of Folly and just 15 minutes from downtown. You will love this place!!

Stunning Waterfront

This home is NOT a "17-min walk to the beach" like the Airbnb system automatically states. If you're in the house, you're ON THE BEACH, listening to the waves crashing in front of you...greeted by long driveway bordered with towering palms, this property features a ton of outdoor entertaining space, including double porches & a rooftop terrace with panoramic views of ocean & marsh. Home is perfect for large gatherings. Come see why this beachfront gem has been a favorite on The Edge of America!
