Hi! I’m Warren Driscoll. I love nice trips. I’ve gone to special places for seven years. Since 2018, I stayed in big houses in Ibiza and Saint-Tropez. I also visited cozy homes in the French Alps. My stories are in Indvidual Magazine. I write true reviews and give easy tips to plan fun trips. This guide is about Charleston Oceanfront Villas in Folly Beach, South Carolina. It uses my travel know-how to help you. You’ll learn about prices, features, and how to book a beach trip.
Why Pick Charleston Oceanfront Villas?
Charleston Oceanfront Villas is a nice place on Folly Beach. This town is called the “Edge of America.” It’s calm and fun. The villas are on the beach. You can walk to the sand and see the ocean. Center Street is close. It has shops and places to eat. It’s great for families, friends, or couples. You can rest or have fun. Charleston city is 12 miles away. It’s a quick 20-minute drive.
These villas are special. They have big rooms and balconies. They also have two pools by the sea. I read reviews on Booking.com. People love the clean rooms, soft beds, and pretty views. This guide tells you everything to choose the right place.
How Much Do Rooms Cost?
The cost of staying at Charleston Oceanfront Villas changes. It depends on when you go, the room size, and where you book. I’ll tell you how prices work. I’ll also share ways to pay less. My job is to make this easy for you.
What Changes Prices
The time of year makes prices different. April to October is busy. It’s warm, so more people come. Prices are high. June to August is the busiest. Kids are not in school. There are fun events, like beach festivals. November to March is quiet. Prices are low. But pools might be closed.
Room size changes the price. Most rooms have three or four bedrooms. They fit 6 to 8 people. Three-bedroom rooms cost less. For example, a three-bedroom room might be $300 a night in quiet times. A four-bedroom room might be $400. In busy times, prices can be $500 to $800. I found these on Vacasa and Booking.com.
Where you book matters. Sites like Airbnb, Vrbo, and Vacasa add fees. These are for cleaning or service. They make the price 10–20% more. Booking with companies like Charleston Coast Vacations or MyOceanRental might save money. They have deals, like Vacasa’s special discount.
Prices by Time of Year
November to March is the quiet time. A three-bedroom room costs $300 to $450 a night. A four-bedroom room costs $400 to $600. Pools are closed, but the beach is calm. April and October are in-between times. Three-bedroom rooms cost $400 to $600. Four-bedroom rooms cost $500 to $700. Pools are open, and it’s nice outside. May to September is busy. Three-bedroom rooms cost $500 to $800. Four-bedroom rooms cost $600 to $1,000. Everything is open. These prices are from 2025 data on Booking.com, Vacasa, and Airbnb. Prices can change, so check your dates. In summer, you might need to stay a whole week, Saturday to Saturday. In quiet times, you can stay 2 to 4 nights.
Extra Costs to Watch
Extra fees can add up. Cleaning fees are $100 to $200 for your stay. Service fees on Airbnb or Vrbo add 5–15% to the cost. Some bookings need half the money when you book. The rest is due 30 days before you go. If you book close to your trip, you pay all at once. Folly Beach has a tax of 2–3%. It might not be in the price you see.
How to Pay Less
Book 6 to 12 months early for busy times. This gets you lower prices. You might get a deal, like Vacasa’s special discount. Go in quiet times, November to March, for cheap prices. The beach is nice, and it’s warm, about 50–60°F. Check prices on Booking.com, Vrbo, Airbnb, and sites like MyOceanRental. They can differ by $50 to $100 a night. Look for deals if you stay 7 nights or more. Some sites have last-minute savings. Vacasa might have codes like “25OFF2025” for stays before August 31, 2025. Don’t book on big holidays like July 4th. Prices are high. Pick days in the middle of the week to save.
What Do Villas Have?
Charleston Oceanfront Villas has nice things to make your stay fun. I’ve stayed in places like this. These villas are great because they’re on the beach. They have cool features. Here’s what you get.
You can walk to the beach. Paths take you right to the sand. It’s perfect for walks or watching the sun go down. Every room has a big balcony. You see the ocean. Many face the Folly Beach Fishing Pier. You get chairs to sit on the balcony. The place has two pools by the sea. They’re open April to October. They have nice areas to sit and relax.

Some rooms have noise sensors. They follow Folly Beach rules. They don’t record but might text if you’re loud. Check the room details. Reviews on Tripadvisor and Vrbo say photos are true.
How to Book a Room
Booking a room needs some planning. I know tricks from staying in nice places. Here’s how to book easily.
Book on Vacasa for clear photos and tours. They help any time. Booking.com has rooms like unit 301 or 320. People say they’re clean and close to the beach. Airbnb has cool rooms, like ones with fun designs or hot tubs. It’s good for quick deals. Vrbo is great for families. It shows what rooms have. Sites like MyOceanRental or Charleston Coast Vacations might have cheap fees or deals. They know the area. Check prices on all sites. They can differ by $50 to $100 a night. Look at fees and rules for canceling.
Book early for summer or holidays like July 4th. Try 6 to 12 months ahead to get the room you want. April or October are nice months. They have good weather, open pools, and lower prices. Workers are fixing balconies until June 2025. Check dates to avoid noise. Check-in is 4:00 p.m. Check-out is 10:00 a.m. Some places let you change times, so ask.
Make sure the room is right for you. Each room is different. Owners pick their own features. Read reviews on Booking.com or Tripadvisor. They say rooms are clean with great views. Look for reviews about rooms like 114 or 422. Check the beds. Most rooms fit 6 to 8 people with king, queen, or twin beds. Unit 214 has a king, queen, and two twins. Make sure things like big tubs or beach chairs are there. If you need easy access, pick a room on a lower floor like 114. All rooms have elevators.
Know the rules. Canceling depends on the site. Vacasa is easy, but Airbnb might be strict. Some sites need your ID and credit card when you arrive. Folly Beach doesn’t like loud noise. Some rooms have sensors that text if you’re too loud. Most rooms don’t allow pets. Check if you have a pet.
Folly Beach has fun stuff to do. Center Street is close. It has shops and food, like Lost Dog Café. You can go to bars like Loggerheads Beach Grill. The Folly Beach Fishing Pier is nearby but being fixed until late 2025. Folly Beach County Park is 1.5 miles away. It has safe swimming and chairs to rent. The Washout is 1 mile away for surfing. Charleston city is 12 miles away. It’s a 20-minute drive for history or food. Plan what your group likes, like parks for kids or dinners for couples.
Things to Think About Before Booking
Workers are fixing balconies until June 2025. Check your room’s dates to avoid noise. Summer has warm beaches but high prices. Winter is cheap but cooler, about 50–60°F. Pools are closed then. Rooms are best for 6 to 8 people. Smaller groups might find cheaper places nearby. Check elevators and beds if you have special needs. A car or golf cart helps you see Charleston or parks.
