Perched directly on the sand with its own private walkover to the shore, Lighthouse is the kind of Folly Beach retreat that earns its name — a sun-soaked, six-bedroom coastal home where ocean views stretch from nearly every window and the rhythm of the Atlantic sets the pace. Vaulted beamed ceilings and a grand staircase anchor the airy open-concept living spaces, while breezy coastal interiors, layered textures, and oversized windows keep the focus on what matters: the view, the light, and the people you're with. The heart of the home is a wide-open great room that flows into a chef's kitchen with a generous island, perfect for grazing boards and slow mornings with coffee in hand. Multiple living areas give everyone room to spread out — settle in for a movie, claim a spot by the window, or head to the dedicated game room for a friendly showdown across the ping pong, billiards, and foosball tables. Outside is where Lighthouse really shines. A private pool anchors the lower deck, with lounge chairs angled toward the surf and plenty of space to dry off between dips. Upstairs, the rooftop patio is built for sunset hour — gather around the fire pit, pour something cold, and watch the sky shift over the dunes. When you're ready for the water, your private staircase drops you straight onto the sand. The six bedrooms are thoughtfully laid out across the home to give every guest a quiet corner to retreat to, with crisp linens, soft coastal tones, and plenty of natural light. Four full bathrooms mean no waiting in line on beach days. Whether you're chasing waves, sunset views, or simply slower days with the people you love most, Lighthouse delivers the full Folly experience — sand between your toes, salt in the air, and nowhere else you need to be. AvantStay provides a personalized hospitality experience to elevate your stay.
