    HOUSE POLICIES
    The home is located near downtown Folly Beach in a residential community with many full-time residents. Guests must respect the surrounding community, observe the listed maximum occupancy, and keep noise to a minimum at all times.

    House parties, weddings, functions, events, bands, DJs, and similar gatherings are strictly prohibited.

We had a wonderful time at the Sand Castle. The house was very large, clean, quiet and well appointed, with comfortable furniture and lots to do. Check-in and check-out were super easy, and we didn’t have to contact our host even once. The pool was large and a lot of fun and the location couldn’t have been better, with easy walking access to restaurants, bars and the beach, as well as short drives to Bowen’s Island for oysters and into Charleston! When we come back to Folly Beach, we’ll definitely stay here again.

Our family loved this charming home! Very warm and inviting. We also appreciated the fact that it was accommodating to elderly family members having a lift chair and accessible wheelchair at the home. There are many activities to do inside and out, something to enjoy for all ages!! We will definitely be staying here again!! One of the nicest and most accommodating homes we have ever stayed at! Many thanks to the family for allowing us the opportunity to stay and enjoy a week that filled us with memories we will share for years to come.

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.

All we wanted and more

The home was perfect for our family reunion. We were originally looking for beachfront property but thanks to the addition of a long golf cart we didn't miss it. The pool was a HUGE hit with the kids and the adults. We also had a great time playing ping pong, badminton, corn hole, air hockey and enjoyed an impromptu Karaoke party thanks to the amenities at the house. There are 2 large and comfortable sitting areas to watch tv and the kitchen had ample space to accommodate both the serious cooks and those just looking for snacks. Beds were comfortable and there were plenty of bathrooms for 7 adults and 3 kids. We would definitely stay there again. Response from MyOceanRental: It was a pleasure hosting your group!! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope that you stay with us again next time you visit Folly Beach!

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.

Great Stay!

Overall, I would rate our stay 10/10. The house is amazing and the pool was an absolute game changer. Only minor critique I would make is that one of the full beds upstairs needs a mattress change (If you can, put kids in that room! We had a house full of adults and the person sleeping on the left bed had a bit of a rough time getting good sleep). Nothing major, just something to note. Also, no fault of the house...parking in Folly is a racket... If I ever make it back to Folly Beach, I would 1000% rent here again!! MyOceanRental: Thank you for your review and feedback! We hope that you choose MyOceanRental for your next Folly Beach adventure!!
