The bonus living space or 'Sea Shed' was built under the Folly Barrack House in the 1950's. Brick and block walls were once home to one of Folly's infamous key clubs that entertained many locals and celebrities alike. Today we have transitioned her into a sweet additional living space equipped with a queen bed that is steps away from the beach. The Sea Shed kitchen is equipped with everything you need for a special meal and a quaint bathroom separates the main room from the bedroom. This is included in your rental! The whole house is yours!

More rustic than the photos, but convenient to beach and central Folly Beach. Girls weekend trip. Check in code didn't work.. but it was managed remotely. Ice maker very slow but agent provided 3 bags of ice Towels and amenities great for large crowd
We absolutely loved this house. Beds were super comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed, excellent location, had such a great, funky vibe. So clean!
Our stay here was simply wonderful. Our family has been coming to Folly for 20 years for vacation. By far, the is was cleanest place we have ever stayed! Location was amazing!! And the property managers were quick to respond to the questions I had and were super kind!! Definitely will be back!
We had a great time at Barrack House. The space and amenities were just what we wanted. The kids liked the private apartment to hang out in and there was plenty of space to spread out in the main level. The party lights in the middle area were a favorite and the available Slam Ball was a bonus. The proximity to the beach was super convenient. And kicking back with a drink on the deck was always relaxing.

Great Pearl
This was one of my best finds on the internet. This pearl gave me and my grandson, granddaughter, daughter, son and son-in-law a great time. Special one-on-one time was had with my grandson as he was able to stay with me the entire time.
We enjoyed our stay on Folly Beach and the house was okay. It was very different than we have ever rented. The additions to the house was very innovative however, they would be a little more safe if the floors were level. Stepping from the main house down to the front living room was very slippery. Dealing with the spiders in the house, the geckos in the side of the house and a snake outside was a little more than we expected on our family vacation. The location was wonderful just across the street from the beach and the property has a lot of parking area.

BETTER THAN EXPECTED
When we first walked into the home, My first reaction is how huge and nice it is!! The house is very clean, very cozy and very accommodating.. I enjoyed the spacious deck, listening to the waves of the ocean, along with the nightly views of a perfect moon. Wish we could of stayed longer than 6 nights. The walk to the beach was closer than expected and the locals in the area were extremely helpful.. Lost Dog Cafe had excellent food and quick service (not to wonder why the parking lot was always packed) Burt's store had the best coffee can't beat the fact that it is FREE as well!! Jill at the golf cart rental place on E. Ashley St., is wonderful, she provided us with a wealth of information about the island. Thanks Rodney and Karen!!
Property was GREAT! Perfect for our group of 2 Moms & 5 teenage girls for a getaway after a long school year. There was ample & comfortable sleeping and lounging space for the 7 of us. The 2 pull out sofas upstairs were great to have, as well. The downstairs was neat and the girls enjoyed having that as a space of their own to hangout. (The downstairs kitchenette and bathroom worked well for them, too.) Very close to the beach access. We enjoyed using the large table and umbrella on the deck. Loads of beach chairs! TV/Internet was great. Linen/Towel service was great. We would definitely stay there again - It was great! Thank you for sharing your charming property we really enjoyed it!
Great location and very comfortable. The outside could use a bit of TLC, but that by no means takes away from the comfortable and at home feeling inside.
We fully enjoyed our time here and were bummed we had to leave.
We had our family of four as well as my mother in the Barracks House. We did have to share rooms but were all very comfortable. You can't beat this location. Walk across the street to the beach! And the decks were perfect for grilling and hanging out in the evenings. Kitchen was well stocked. There were plenty of towels and the master bathroom was very nice. There are bikes at the house. I missed that in another review and rented some unfortunately. The house also had beach chairs and boogie boards which was a great bonus! We would definitely return to the Barracks House!
Family loves staying at this beach house. Location has very little traffic and easy access to beach. Plenty of beach space for family to have fun. Easy to walk to downtown and pier. House is perfect for for our 3 young boys. Bikes, beach chairs, outside shower, hose, and new BBQ are all great features.
This was our first beach house experience. We were excited to attend our son’s beach wedding on Folly Beach. Folly Barrack House really met our need. The bedding and the towels were abundant and very clean. The outdoor shower came in handy. The owner was a great communicator and responded quickly to all of our questions .
The Barrack House was a great place to stay for our family vacation. Lots of space, well equipped with all the necessities, and only steps to the beach. We will definitely book again in the future! The owners were very nice and quick to respond to all of our questions.
