2025 VRBO Vacation Rental of the Year! Pool, Hot Tub & Deep Water Dock

We knew that Deep Water Days was one of the top luxury rentals in our Folly Beach portfolio but now it's clear everyone else thought so too! Deep Water Days has been named as one of VRBO's "2025 Vacation Rental of the Year!" It's no surprise really, With its luxe interiors, uber private location, deep water dock on Folly River, pool & spa plus oversized copper firepit, it makes for an idyllic backdrop for a dreamy vacation at the beach.

“This fantastic South Carolina property lets you escape into a lush private corner of nature that's just a 10-minute walk from beautiful Folly Island Beach. Enter a 5-bedroom luxury oasis with breathtaking panoramic views of the Folly River, complete with a private pool, spa tub, and cozy firepit to see the night away cocktail in hand. The tastefully decorated indoor spaces are a haven of bright spaces, elegant furnishings and expansive windows.” VRBO March 2025

Set on lush grounds overlooking the Folly River, this recently renovated, 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom Folly Beach home offers an incredible, private retreat for your next vacation getaway. No detail was overlooked in this sprawling home with bright, open interiors and exceptional living space that comfortably accommodate up to 12 GUESTS with 2 primary suites, each with KING BEDS, 2 additional bedrooms with QUEEN BEDS plus a spacious upstairs bunk room with 2 built-in QUEEN beds, and a comfortable sleeper sofa in the library.

From the moment you enter Deep Water Days, you'll be captivated by the Folly River views that deliver a jaw-dropping backdrop for nearly every room. Framed by expansive walls of windows and doors, the outdoor living spaces beckon, with spectacular private pool, spa, abundant seating areas, copper fire pit, grill and outdoor dining that seats 8. This will easily become the hub of your vacation, for days spent relaxing around the pool, and nights with a cocktail around the fire pit under the stars. No matter the season, you'll appreciate that both the pool and the spa can be heated, together or separately. This exceptional location on the deep water Folly River means you have a water playground right out your back door! With access to the dock you can BRING YOUR BOAT along for your stay, or simply enjoy all the water-centric activities of the river for paddle boarding, kayaks, and swimming. The Folly Beach boat ramp where you can launch your boat is just minutes away, with a quick and easy boat ride directly to the home's deep water dock.

The main level offers an open floor plan with two comfortable sitting areas, modern kitchen, dining area with table that seats 10 and three of the house's 5 bedrooms. The well-appointed kitchen is open to both of the main sitting areas, with panoramic river views, plus oversized island, separate bar with prep sink and wine fridge. The first floor office/library offers a quiet place to work and a comfortable sleeper sofa for additional guests. A half bath is also located on this level for convenience.

The bedrooms on the main floor are tucked away in a private wing. The main floor primary suite includes a KING bed with private, ensuite bath, and doors that lead to a serene deck with hanging chair swing to curl up in with your morning coffee. The two, nearby guest bedrooms, each with a QUEEN BED share a Jack & Jill bath with walk-in shower, and direct access to the cleverly designed outdoor shower, reminiscent of an upscale spa in Bali. Via a private staircase that leads upstairs, you'll discover the secluded, second primary suite, offering plenty of privacy with a KING bed, and ensuite bath with walk-in shower plus soaking tub. Enjoy your morning paper and cup of coffee on your own private terrace.

In a separate upstairs wing, you'll find the oversized bonus room. With custom built-ins that house 2 QUEEN beds and plenty of seating, this will become a favorite room for the family to enjoy games, movie time and the ideal spot for the kids to hang out in. The bonus room includes a full bath with a separate, uniquely designed shower.

With the bountiful opportunities for indoor/outdoor living, deep water dock and river sporting activities, plus the fun-filled days that are sure to be spent around the pool, at Deep Water Days you are still just a short walk to the beach via the 13th Street access path. And, while this unforgettable home offers loads of privacy, it's prime location on Folly Beach means you're just blocks from Center Street, the hub of Folly's great shopping and dining. You can bike or take a golf cart ride to downtown Folly including coffee shops, surf shops, local dining favorites like the Lost Dog Café, Taco Boy, or Rita's, Bert's Market and the iconic Folly Beach Pier.

Spectacular property

This is a a fantastic house and property. We were a group of 9 friends and we all really enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious and the setting can’t be beat. Only issue was w/ the hot tub…it never really got hot. Its temperature was often luke warm at best. Otherwise, highly recommend for a group stay.

Deep Water Days

We picked the Folly Beach VRBO for the beach access, fishing guide availability, and short drive to Charleston. The house worked out great for eight adults and five grandchildren. The house was well stocked and the pool was a great way to relax at the end of the day. The sunset view was awesome. Would definitely recommend.

Luxury at it's finest

This house was one of the best houses we have rented. It is simple breathtaking, and the views are just as good. The pictures don't do it justice. We did have an issue one night where the fire alarms kept going off all night, which caused many of us to not sleep. It was a big inconvenience, but it was fixed promptly and there were no more issues. The neighbor's dog does bark every time they let it outside, even late at night. It seemed to be almost hourly they let it out. It would only last for a few minutes each time. Even with these minor issues we still give this property 5 stars as it was that amazing. I would def stay here again and recommend it to anyone!

Perfection

This house is absolutely beautiful, well-appointed and spotless. If you can do without beachfront and like an intercoastal waterway feel (with a great dock and incredible views), this house has has everything a family or two need for a great vacation. The beach is a super convenient five minute walk. We prefered to fish the dock and tend our crab traps.

Folly weekend!

We had the absolute best time staying here! The house comes with almost everything you could need anywhere from appliances to towels and check out couldn’t have been easier. You can’t beat the location or the view either! We will definitely be back!!

Still Daydreaming about Deep Water Days

Set in the most idyllic, secluded spot on the river with a view of small boats passing by, flocks of birds overhead, green marsh grass swaying in the distance, this house is something straight out of a lowcountry living magazine. We vacationed with extended family ages 3 to 65 and everyone was happy. The kitchen is well stocked and the huge dining table a great spot for meals and games together. So many places gather for coffee talk or a cocktail. The main room is large and comfortable with plenty of seating. There is a beautiful botanical sunroom, an outdoor screened in patio, and lots of comfortable outdoor seating/lounging furniture around the pool area. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated in a soft modern style. We rented a 6 person golf cart and got to the beach in no time. It was nice to retreat to the bay side at the end of the sun-baked days and plunge in the cool water of the pool, lightly shaded by beautiful trees. Dreaming of going back again!

Folly Beach Week

We absolutely LOVED this house! We typically stay on the beach but took a chance on staying on the marsh side this week, it did not disappoint. So quiet and still accessible to the beach right around the corner. We loved the pool too. We will be back!

Family Reunion

We could not have been happier with the house and its amenities. The management company was so responsive and dedicated to our happiness. 14 people including kids and all went beautifully. The dock access was a godsend since we were able to use our nephews boat. The kids lived in the pool and hot tub.

Amazing location!

You couldn’t choose a nicer home for your vacation! The location on Folly is fantastic. You have deep water with a dock to moor your boat with a spectacular view! You are a few minute walk to beach access if that’s what you’re looking for as well. Comfortable beds, great baths, incredible views, fully equipped kitchen, multiple dining and seating areas, and views from all. Spend hours by the pool or spa watching dolphins or boats with skiers, kayakers, etc passing by. Rental company is very responsive to your needs or inquiries. Enjoy!
