Vacancy-Winter Special! Mediterranean Villa; 444 ft to Beach! Ranked in Top1%.

Video: https://youtu.be/eI07r8NQT_8

This 3 floor, 2 Master bedroom property is conveniently located approximately 1.5 blocks from Folly's dining and shopping and less than 2 blocks from the beach which is just a quick 2-3 min walk (400 steps). Folly Beach has an array of quaint stores, coffee shops, ice-cream parlors, and numerous restaurants, so there is no need to take the car when casually stepping out at night or walking the pier.

From the moment you enter the giant doors of this custom, 3000+square foot home into the two-story foyer you will be transported into another world. Mediterranean-style architecture mixed with comfortable high-end furniture and appliances exceed all standards. You will feel pampered by the high-quality designer linens and towels as well as the quality soap products just like a five-star hotel.

This VRBO Top-ranked 5-Star* home consists of 4-5 bedrooms 3.5 baths (sleeps 10 comfortably). The kitchen is, state-of-the-art, 'to die for' with tons of granite, a professional stove, double ovens as well as microwave dishwasher and large, side-by-side refrigerator .The kitchen is open to the family room/TV room, dining room, as well as the screened porch. The screened porch is the most popular space in the house with our guests as it has comfortable lounging chairs as well as a secondary dining table. You will find yourself surrounded by tropical trees and the singing of birds mixed in with the sound of the ocean.

The living room to the front of the house can be used as an overflow living space/TV room or 5th bedroom as it has a day bed and pull out trundle as well as the sofa. Also downstairs is the second master, with a queen 4 poster-bed and a full bath. This has a door to the screened porch so this area is a beautiful unit within itself if someone wants more peace and quiet.

Upstairs there are 3 more bedrooms. The Master bedroom is huge and opulent having a king size bed and plenty of extra space .The spa like bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub and a separate shower. There are two further queen bedrooms upstairs sharing a Jack-and-Jill, beautifully tiled bathroom. The larger of these bedrooms has a great ocean view from the queen-size bed ideal for lazy days. There are TV'S in 2 of the upstairs bedrooms and one left without on request so Kids don't stay awake all night watching!

The most spectacular aspect of this home is the ocean-side deck, perfect for days you want to lounge and sun without being at the beach, or for catching the cool night breezes and ocean sounds as you dine alfresco or gather with friends.

Underneath the home is a spectacular outdoor kitchen with a large prep area, a full gas range and sink as well as a large dinning table. There is an outdoor shower and a storage area for the sun chairs we provide. There is a 3-4 car enclosed garage as well as lots of space for at least 7 cars in the driveways in the front and back of the home.

This home is for a family or group who appreciate such luxury yet want the casual fun feel of Folly. With all we have to offer, as well as making it available to owners of mature well-behaved dogs (at no extra cost), this house has been a Folly favorite for vacationers for many years.

It is in an ideal location with high-end finishes of travertine, granite and chefs gourmet kitchen with butler's pantry. This extraordinary versatile home was built as a private home in 2001 by an Italian Renaiscance but is in use as one of Folly's most successful vacation spots since 2005. This ~3200 sq ft mediterranean style home with 4 bed/3.5 bath home lives much larger due to its unique layout and the flow to the large screened porch of the main floor and huge sundeck off upper floor. Another front room has a a Day Bed that converts to 2 fulls so you can easily sleep 10-12. The basement/garage has enough space for 3-4 or boats and a game room storage for beachware, toys, 4-5 bikes for your use and umbrellas.even a stroller is there.

Great proximity with amazing owner
I have nothing but great things to say about this property. From the moment we booked, the host was in communication and gave us all the info we needed right up until the second we checked out. We opted to rent the golf cart which I recommend doing as it’s so much easier to get around and find parking. The home had everything we needed plus more! It’s walking distance into town or a very short golf cart ride and same to the beach! If you’re on the fence then this is your sign to book it!

What a great way to spend a week with family and friends celebrating a special birthday. The house and amenities are as advertised, The spacious outside patios and decks only add to the experience. Everything is within walking distance from this house, to include the Key West vibe that is Folly Beach. The beach is just a few steps away and the recent beach replenishment made for better beach days. The homeowner is great to work with and communicated with us answering questions.

Perfection
I really don't see how our stay could have been better. This house was PERFECT for our needs. We were in town to marry off my oldest. We held the rehearsal dinner at Unleashed. There was so much room. Appetizers under a tent on the front lawn, Low country boil on the patios and dessert on the counter. Everyone loved it. The host was super attentive, responsive and helpful.There are many reasons this property is so highly rated.

Folly Family Gathering
We needed a large space with lots of room outdoors to accommodate our family gathering. The villa fit the bill! It is so lovely, and so perfectly located between beach and center street that everyone had access to fun and food. The home is also set up for a dog, with gates and crates, so even my 4-legged was included. Memories made!

This property was just wonderful! There were so many gathering spaces as well as a layout that made it easy to have some time alone if you needed it. The house is beautiful. Bob was just a pleasure to communicate with and work with. We had three people in our group who did have to work remotely while we were there and the Wi-Fi connectivity was wonderful. Not even a glitch when tropical storm Nicole came calling. The beds were very comfortable. The location was convenient for walking to restaurants and quick trips to Bert’s as well as heading over to the beach. I would absolutely recommend this house to other travelers. I hated to leave!
