The private beachside porch has plenty of seating as well as a daybed swing so you can watch the beachfront views with your loved ones. Wake up early and enjoy the ever-changing sunrises from this comfortable porch! On the main floor, there is a large common area connected to a beautiful, fully equipped large gourmet kitchen, perfect for cooking with friends and family and relaxing. There are 4 bedrooms on this level: one beachside king, one beachside queen, one queen bedroom, and one king bedroom with a twin bed. Three of the bedrooms have private baths, all of which have been recently renovated. There is also a half bath connected to the common area and the kitchen, close to the laundry area. A new roof was installed in 2019. Home is being sold furnished and as-is. The seller is a local builder with years of experience building and renovating homes on the island. As of 7/18/2025... If this is your primary residence, you can short term rent the property 72 nights per year and get some great rental income to help offset any expenses. (2 nights minimum up to 72 days per year) Buyer to verify. ATTENTION! New Licenses: The City of Folly Beach passed a temporary moratorium in late August 2026 halting new short-term rental business license applications. Reason: The pause gives the city time to complete an STR study and navigate an ongoing legal appeal after a judge struck down the city's previous voter-approved cap of 800 rental permits and registration fees. Next Meeting: The city council is expected to further discuss and consider rental regulations during its full meeting on September 8, 2026. BUYER TO VERIFY.
