Private Island Retreat | 2 Homes, Private Dock, Beach Access & Sunset Views

Welcome to The Island at The Fort on Folly Beach!

Escape to your private slice of paradise at The Island at The Fort, a one-of-a-kind retreat with two homes on a secluded island in the Folly River, just across from the famous Washout surf break. This unique property features two charming homes, offering the perfect setup for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking to experience Folly Beach in a new way.
A short stroll down a private driveway brings you to the sandy shores of Folly Beach while your backyard opens up to breathtaking river views. Watch the sunset from the sunroom, sip your morning coffee on the back deck, or cast a line from your private dock—this is Lowcountry living at its finest!

Folly Beach Vacation

This place was perfect for our stay. With the 2 houses we had plenty of room for this family vacation. Beach access was easy, just a short walk down driveway and across the street.

Our family had a wonderful time in these cute cabins. Loved how secluded they were and yet only a short walk to the beach. Very clean with what looks like new appliances and probably some of the best dishware I've seen in a vrbo.The hosts were very communicative, and they were very quick to respond to any issues we had. They sent maintenance out within a couple of hours. I can't express enough how above and beyond they went with helping.
