Weather and outdoor temperatures affect the pool temperature, and very cold conditions may prevent it from reaching 75°F. A specific temperature cannot be guaranteed on any day of the stay. Refunds will not be issued if weather conditions prevent use of the pool or keep it from reaching the desired temperature.

The home is accessed by stairs inside the enclosed ground-level area. A motorized chair lift is available to assist guests who cannot use the stairs. A three-wheel stair-climbing dolly is also available to help move belongings from the parking area into the home.

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.

The Folly Beach noise ordinance is in effect from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Your rental agreement states that use of the property may not disturb or offend surrounding residents.

To help protect our guests, neighbors, property owners, and the Folly Beach community, this home uses NoiseAware noise-monitoring technology. NoiseAware measures decibel levels only. It is privacy compliant and does not listen to or record conversations.

If noise exceeds the permitted level, guests may receive a courtesy text requesting that the volume be reduced before a violation occurs. This helps prevent police violations, fines, and possible revocation of the homeowner's business license.

The property's maximum occupancy of 12 guests may not be exceeded at any time during the stay.
If occupancy is misrepresented or a disturbance is reported at the property, we reserve the right to terminate the rental agreement and require that all guests vacate the property immediately without a refund.

Our family of 11 had a wonderful time . The location made it easy to walk to the restaurants and shops and the house and pool were beautiful when we just wanted to relax at the house. It had plenty of room to sit together and visit and lots of spaces to spread out when we wanted to. Renting golf carts made the short distance to the beach a breeze.

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.
