Seconds to the Sea!

Location, location, location. Literally steps to the sand from this relaxing beach abode! Just roll out of bed and walk through the tree lined tunnel straight to the boardwalk of your own fairly private beach! Bring your dogs and let them roam the huge fenced in backyard lined with live oaks and a fire pit for the family to unite. A quieter part of Folly where the surfers like to shred but still only a short while to the bars of Folly and just 15 minutes from downtown. You will love this place!!

Superhost

Stunning Waterfront

This home is NOT a "17-min walk to the beach" like the Airbnb system automatically states.

Home is perfect for large gatherings. Come see why this beachfront gem has been a favorite on The Edge of America!
