Sand Castle - Beach Retreat - Saltwater Heated Pool - 1st Block from the Center St.

Please note: This property is in a quiet residential community, and Folly Beach has a strict noise ordinance violation rule of 1 strike. Respect your neighbors, keep the noise down, and no parties.

Welcome to Sand Castle! This impeccable 5BD/4.5 BA beach retreat can accommodate up to 12 guests and offers plenty of space for gatherings. This home has been well-maintained, updated, and stylishly decorated! Sand Castle includes three living areas. A sitting area to enjoy your company, a family room open to the kitchen with plush leather reclining couches, a 49" Roku HDTV with Xfinity, and an upstairs giant media/sports center complete with an 80" HDTV, a rotating game table for playing air hockey or pool and a basketball arcade game.

A few blocks from the ocean and only four doors from Center Street, where most of the Island's restaurants and shops are located, this home's location is ideal! Additionally, it is only three doors down from the Lost Dog Cafe – the most popular place on Folly Beach to gather with locals and visitors for breakfast or lunch. There is also a gas station/convenience store located just a short walk away on Center Street downtown.

Pool, "Beach" and Games
The large saltwater pool will be the highlight of your stay (a walk-in shower and commode are nearby). The beautiful pool is adjacent to your private beach with white sand, a veranda, and a fire pit with Adirondack chairs where you can enjoy playing volleyball, badminton, cornhole, a ladder toss game, and Bocce Ball (all game sets are provided). Also, there is a ping pong table and a magnetic dart board game in the enclosed area under the house!
The pool can be heated upon request for an additional fee of $40.00/day (added to your reservation after you place the booking). If not requested at the time of booking, this option must be requested and paid for at least two days in advance. Pool heating can only be requested for the entire length or remainder of your stay. If you would like to add this option, please note this when making your reservation or contact our office during office hours.
**Please note that the pool does not get higher than 75 degrees during the colder months from mid-December through February/mid-March. Also, the weather will affect the pool temperature, and very cold weather may keep the pool from reaching even 75 degrees. We cannot guarantee a specific temperature for any day of your stay. No refunds will be given, including if weather conditions prevent your use of the pool. The pool heater thermostat will be set to 82-84 degrees F.

Great house! Great location.

Great house suitable for our multiple generations of family members. Would definitely stay there again. The only unfortunate thing was that the pool heater was broken. We could have used the pool warmer so that our infants could swim with us.

So much fun!

The sandcastle was the perfect folly beach home for our group of friends! Everyone was blown away by the outdoor pool and all the activities available. The proximity to lost dog and center street was also extremely convenient. We will definitely be back! From MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure hosting your group and we hope that you stay with us again, next time you visit Folly Beach.

Awesome vacation home!

This house was absolutely wonderful for our family vacation! Big bedrooms, clean, beautifully decorated and so many hidden features. The location was a short walk to Center St. and to the beach- loved this so we could just put the grandchildren in strollers instead of the car. We did rent a golf cart though so that we could easily transport all our beach gear. The pool and the sandy play area was exceptional and it’s where we ended up spending so much of our time. This was by far one of our best vacation homes!

Great stay!

We had the best stay at this wonderful home. This house was perfect for our large group and the yard could not have been any better for the children. Big pool with lots of floats, volleyball, fire pit and close to all the restaurants and shops but also right there by the beach. We all loved it! Would definitely recommend and we plan on staying there again next year for our family Christmas! MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review! We hope that you choose MyOceanRental for your next Folly Beach adventure!!

Thank you so much for having us at your house. The place was amazing and worked great for the group of people staying there. The house was clean when we showed up and had great amenities to it. We enjoyed the large bedroom and the game room downstairs. The house was very close walking distance to the bars and beach downtown which we loved. We will definitely consider coming back to stay again. I'll be sure to recommend this place to all my friends. MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review and we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at beautiful Folly Beach!

Very Impressive

Ocean rental was the best at getting us in the house and checking on us during our stay. The house had everything we needed. I had 5 teenagers and they all had a great time. The house is walking distance to everything even the beach. The second floor was a great little get away. This house is an absolute must if you are looking for a relaxing stay with lots of entertainment. We had an awesome stay and hope to be back soon. From MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review. We are so glad that everyone, including the 5 teenagers, enjoyed their stay with us. It was a pleasure hosting your group and we look forward to hosting you guys again on your next Folly Beach adventure.

Great location and house

This house was amazing. The location was perfect, walking distance to everything. The pool was great for the kids especially heated. The house was big enough that nine of us all had enough room and couldn’t hear each other. Only issue was that it could be cleaner. Popcorn upstairs on bedroom floor, lots of cob webs on the lights and corners of windows. Also, front bedroom has no curtains or blinds. With that being said I would still stay here again. The benefits outweighed the down falls.

We usually rent on Folly twice a year. This was hands down the best property we’ve stayed in. We had four families under the roof and it never felt crowded. For the first time in our experience, the actual house was better than the description and photos. Perfect location. Short walk to everything including Our Lady of Good Counsel for Sunday mass. We used the public boat launch often, and spent a great deal of time on the water. We cooked every night except the first, which is always pizza from Woody’s. Lots of outdoor space at the property, and the pool was very well maintained. Many games and distractions for the kids as well. All of the amenities were in very good condition and everything was in working order. We will definitely rent this property again.

Great location/Poor Property

The home is in poor overall condition. The bathrooms have mold and the bathroom faucets are full of soap scum. The floors are not attached and are dangerous to walk on. The kitchen Utensils we're dirty with food stuck to them. The pool chairs were dirty and broken. Paint is chipping inside and outside the home. This is the worst, property we have rented through vrbo. We have pictures to, share if you are interested.

Wonderful property!

Our family enjoyed a week's stay on Folly Island and thoroughly enjoyed this property. The location was ideal for walking to restaurants and shops. Compliant with COVID restrictions, the restaurants all had outdoor socially distanced seating. The house is also well situated for a quick walk to the beach. We opted to rent a six person golf cart to help transport our beach gear, but the walk was very easy and quick. The house has very nice amenities, was exceptionally clean upon our arrival, and My Ocean Rental responded very promptly when contacted for a minor issue. The pool was our gathering spot each afternoon and was one of the highlights of our stay. I suggested to the rental agency that the kitchen, while large and well appointed, the cabinets and drawers needed a bit of organizing. I hope for the sake of future renters that this gets completed. We hope to make this an annual family trip. Response from MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review and feedback!! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and we hope that you stay with us again next time you visit Folly Beach!

Our family of 11 had a wonderful time . The location made it easy to walk to the restaurants and shops and the house and pool were beautiful when we just wanted to relax at the house. It had plenty of room to sit together and visit and lots of spaces to spread out when we wanted to. Renting golf carts made the short distance to the beach a breeze.

Great experience!

This house was wonderful. Came with my family of 5 (6, 4, and 8mo this) plus my parents. The layout was fantastic, our family had the upstairs with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The tv was huge and the games were fun for the kids. The main floor layout was great with 2 more full bedrooms and their own en suite bathrooms and walk in showers. The house is amazingly accessible for aging family members or family with physical disabilities. Lots of space to spread out within the house and everything was well taken care of. The outdoor space was perfect and we swam every day. The listing says no beach/pool gear, but plenty had been left by other tenants. We walked to Center street for some meals and shopping and the walk to the beach was quick and easy. We would 100% stay here again.
