About this property

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!

Explore local restaurants, enjoy live music, shop for unique finds, or set off on an adventure with kayak tours, boat charters, and surfing just minutes away. For a change of pace, historic Downtown Charleston, with its cobblestone streets, fine dining, and rich history, is only a 25-minute drive.
