About This Home

As of July 2025

Wake up to breathtaking sunrises and wind down with golden sunsets over the Folly River in this chic, coastal inspired one-bedroom, one-bathroom condo that effortlessly blends a relaxed beach-town feel with casual luxury. Nestled within the Little Oak Island section, this gated community which is just 1.5 miles from the beach, offers a serene front-row seat escape to the natural beauty and wildlife that make Folly Beach so special. Inside, the open-concept layout is filled with natural light and thoughtful upgrades, creating a bright and modern space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Step out onto your spacious balcony or unwind in the screened porch - both perfect spots to watch dolphins play, herons glide by, and marsh grasses sway in the breeze. Resort-style amenities include asparkling pool, tennis/pickleball courts, bocci ball, kayak launch, boat storage and picturesque gazebo overlooking the water, complete with fire pit! And, recent exterior renovations include durable Hardiplank siding, top hurricane rated doors and windows, stylish porch cable wires, safety rails and more.

This neighborhood is part of Mariner's Cay, across Folly Road, which gives you the advantage to access boat and kayak storage, an additional pool and tennis courts, and another boat landing on Folly River, making it an exceptional location! You can stroll or bike to Folly Beach to enjoy shops, restaurants, nightlife, or put your feet in the sand, then. . . retreat back to your own private piece of paradise. And, you will be just 20 minutes or so to downtown historic Charleston. The tranquil, ever changing marsh and river views will never get old! Whether you're seeking a peaceful primary residence or chic vacation home, this waterfront gem delivers the best of Lowcountry living wrapped in comfort and style.
