Folly Beach Condo Rentals

A condo is an easy way to stay on Folly Beach: less upkeep than a house, often a shared pool and elevator, and some of the best oceanfront locations near the pier. Here’s a guide to the island’s condo options.

Condos on Folly Beach

• Charleston Oceanfront Villas, 201 W. Arctic Ave.: oceanfront three- and four-bedroom villas with two oceanfront pools, gated covered parking and elevators, a short walk from the pier.
• Pavilion Watch, 106 W. Arctic Ave.: ocean-view condos with a pool and elevator, a short walk from the pier.
• Pier Pointe Villas, 114 W. Arctic Ave.: across the street from the beach, with ocean-view balconies about a block and a half from Center Street.
• Turn of River: riverfront condos with marsh views and a community pool.

Just off the island

A few condo communities sit on the mainland side of the Folly River, a short drive or bike ride to the beach and usually less expensive: Mariners Cay, a gated condo community with a marina just before the bridge onto the island, and Marshwinds, on Folly Road with marsh views. Check the address if you want to be on the island itself.

Condo or house?

• Choose a condo for an elevator, a shared pool, a walkable location near the pier or a shorter stay.
• Choose a house for more space, a private pool, a yard for the dog or a big group. See large homes and pet-friendly rentals.

Condo vs. house: what it costs

A condo is usually the most affordable way to stay close to the sand, especially near the pier, and many include a shared pool and elevator that would cost extra in a house. A house makes more sense once your group needs more than three bedrooms, a private pool or a yard. For typical nightly rates by size, see what a Folly Beach rental costs.

Tips for booking a Folly Beach condo

• Ask about parking. Many complexes limit each unit to one or two spaces or use parking passes.
• Check the floor and the elevator. Upper floors have better views; confirm there’s an elevator if you need one.
• Read the association rules. Complexes often set pool hours, quiet hours and rules for grills and pets.
• Confirm the view. “Oceanfront” means the building sits on the beach; “ocean view” or “across the street” usually means a short walk to the sand.
