Solmate - Beachfront Bungalow on Quiet End of Folly - 4 beds/2 baths

“Soulmate - a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner.”
Oxford Dictionary

We call her “Solmate” because we believe she’s the perfect beach getaway for those families and friends looking to create wonderful, intimate, and forever memories while at Folly Beach. Situated at the far end of the island, on the quietest stretch of sand, you’ll enjoy fellowship and serenity while soaking in the gorgeous views of ocean and beach from this quaint, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, beach-front bungalow.

Beach living at Solmate is conveniently all on one floor. The master bedroom with its wonderful ocean views and private access to the newly replaced back deck has a king bed while the other two bedrooms are queen. The master shares a full bathroom with the second queen bedroom. The third bedroom has a queen bed as well and has a view of the front garden. There is also one larger bedroom with 2 full beds that works well for children or adults. The two full bathrooms each have a tub that makes bathing children easier. The kitchen is fully equipped including French press coffee maker as well as traditional drip style/Kcup combo, waffle maker, and Ninja blender. If you don’t feel like cooking, don’t worry, there are fabulous restaurants nearby for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Although Solmate is very child friendly with step stool in bathroom, booster seat, and pack n/play, please know that pets and smoking are not allowed. Also, out of respect for our neighbors and owners, no events are allowed that exceed the maximum occupancy of the home. Must be 25 years old or older to rent.

For your enjoyment there is an outdoor shower on the newly replaced back deck, charcoal grill and plenty of private parking. Also provided are Turkish beach towels, beach chairs, plush bath towels and luxury bed linens (with cozy, down duvets in our colder months) throughout the home for your comfort.....please enjoy them. Keyless entry is one more way we try to help you simplify your stay.

The Folly Pier, completely replaced in 2023 with restaurant/bar, and Center Street with all the shops and restaurants are only a 20 minute walk down the beach or 5 minute golf cart ride. A 10 minute walk in the opposite direction up the beach lands you in the county park and provides for the most amazing sunsets in Charleston. No matter where you are on the beach, keep a look out for the dolphins....they are everywhere. And if you like a treasure hunt, there is no limit to the number of sharks’ teeth found in the sand. A 35 minute drive and downtown Charleston’s many amenities are at your fingertips.....don’t forget your credit cards! If you plan to bring a boat, the Folly Beach boat landing is less than 2 miles from the house and has excellent access to the Folly River. Take the Folly River east to access Kiawah Island or Morris Island Lighthouse and Fort Sumter to the west. It is also tons of fun and easy to rent golf carts, kayaks, paddle boards and other gear right on the island.....

We hope your time spent at Solmate is not only refreshing, but is rich with fellowship as it allows you to grow closer to the people you love the most. Please let us know how we can help you, your family or friends (aka solmates) experience the best beach vacation ever.
