Welcome to Windward House, a Mediterranean-inspired Folly Island retreat where coastal living meets refined luxury. This spacious five-bedroom, 4.5-custom-bathroom home offers the ultimate getaway, with thoughtful design elements and plenty of room for family and friends to unwind. Just a short walk from the beach and minutes from the vibrant dining scene on Center Street, Windward House provides the perfect balance of relaxation and convenience.
The property boasts layers of outdoor spaces, including a saltwater heated pool (available outside of January and February) surrounded by spacious lounge decks, a shaded seating area, and a grill for poolside dining. Enjoy endless fun with an array of outdoor games like Cornhole, ladder ball, spike ball, and more. The breezy porches, complete with rocking chairs, invite you to sip your morning coffee while taking in peaceful sunrises or relax with a glass of wine at sunset.
Inside, the home exudes coastal Mediterranean charm, featuring custom European Oak hardwood floors, warm wood tones, terracotta tile, and ocean-inspired hues of aqua and patina. The open-plan main level includes a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, a dining table with seating for 12, and a living room with board games and a TV, perfect for casual nights in.
The bedrooms offer flexibility for groups, with a luxurious primary suite on the top floor featuring a spa-like ensuite bathroom. There are two additional king bedrooms, each with its own ensuite, a queen bedroom on the main level, and a bunk room with four twin beds for the kids. Vintage sailing books, nautical décor, and postcards from the 1940s and 50s give the space a touch of Folly Beach history, adding to its unique charm.
Folly is very easy to navigate on foot, by bike, or by car! This property is just a 8-minute walk or a 2-minute drive to the public beach access.
