About this property

Luxury, Dog-Friendly, Oceanfront Home on Folly Beach

  • Summary:

    Charisma By The Sea



    The Space:

    There are beach homes, and then there are places where time slows, conversations linger, and memories take root. Charisma by the Sea sits directly at the edge of the Atlantic, offering an immersive oceanfront experience where comfort, design, and location come together effortlessly.



    Set just far enough from the bustle of Center Street to feel private and serene, yet close enough to enjoy everything Folly Beach has to offer, this expansive, thoughtfully designed home invites guests to truly settle in. From the moment you step inside, the connection to the water is unmistakable. A wall of windows frames sweeping ocean views, filling the living spaces with natural light and the ever-changing rhythm of the sea.



    Designed for gathering without crowding, the home comfortably accommodates multi-generational families, reunions, and small groups who value both shared experiences and personal space. Every bedroom features its own en-suite bathroom, offering privacy and ease for couples, friends, and extended families alike. A dedicated bunk room adds a playful, welcoming touch for younger guests, while adults appreciate the generous room sizes, quiet corners, and elevated finishes throughout.



    At the heart of the home is a large, open kitchen and living area - a space that naturally becomes the hub of the stay. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, designed for serious cooking and effortless entertaining, with dual refrigerators, abundant prep space, and seating for everyone at the table. Whether it’s a holiday meal, a post-beach dinner, or a casual breakfast before a round of golf, this space supports it all with ease.



    The home’s character is as distinctive as its setting. High ceilings, hardwood floors, eclectic coastal artwork, and repurposed nautical and vintage elements create an environment that feels curated, personal, and warm - never generic. Every detail reflects a clear investment in comfort, quality, and personality.



    Multiple decks extend the living space outdoors, where mornings begin with coffee and dolphin sightings, and evenings wind down with ocean breezes and unforgettable sunsets. Private deck stairs lead directly to the beach, placing your toes in the sand within moments - ideal for long walks, shell hunting, paddleboarding, or simply watching the tide roll in.



    For those seeking something truly special, the top-level primary suite occupies its own private floor, complete with panoramic ocean views, a large sitting area, and direct access to a private deck. It’s a retreat within the retreat! Perfect for quiet mornings, reading with the sound of the surf, or unwinding at the end of the day.



    Beyond the home, Folly Beach and the greater Charleston area offer a year-round calendar of experiences. Guests enjoy easy access to seasonal festivals, surf competitions, holiday events, and Charleston’s renowned food, history, and golf scene - all just a short drive away. Whether your stay revolves around beach days, outdoor adventure, culinary exploration, or simply reconnecting with the people you love, this location supports it beautifully.



    Charisma by the Sea is more than a place to stay - it’s a setting for shared moments, meaningful time together, and a beach experience that guests return to again and again. Charleston, you'll find the historic district is waiting only 13 miles away.

We specifically asked if there was an elevator, and Casago repeatedly replied in writing that the house had an elevator. Strangely, once we booked we couldn’t find the property in VRBO anymore, so we messaged Casago asking for links to the listing and amenities, but the links they sent didn’t work. Upon arrival we discovered the elevator not operational. We promptly reported the problem to Casago. They asked us to send pictures of the control panel, which we did, and they said they would send maintenance or otherwise address the issue. They dragged out communication back and forth for the entire week of our stay, continually promising to address the elevator issue, and never offered any resolution or compensation. We had paid the pet fee and had to carry our elderly 78lb Labrador up and down the numerous stairs multiple times daily to potty etc. Never before have I not received some compensation or satisfactory resolution after raising a legitimate issue with a rental agency. It was the WORST experience I’ve ever had with any rental company EVER. Do not rent from Casago! VRBO was also disappointing in that when I called them after check out to complain about Casago, the response was that they couldn’t do anything since we had already checked out! After over 1 hour 45 minutes on the phone with VRBO, they finally offered me a nominal credit (less than the pet fee)Otherwise the house itself, although a bit run down and in need of numerous additional repairs, was as expected.

Our stay at Folly Beach was absolutely wonderful. The property is beautiful and the location is breathtaking—right on the beach with incredible views. The house itself is a special place, very well cared for, spotless, and truly lovely.We especially loved waking up in the morning to watch the sunrise over the ocean and seeing the surfers out on the water. It was also great that the home is dog-friendly, as our dogs enjoyed the trip just as much as we did.We had a fantastic time exploring the area, including a wonderful dinner in town at Folly Beach and another memorable evening at Hall’s in Charleston. Overall, it was a fantastic stay and we would absolutely love to come back.

Easy Beach front access. Gorgeous views. Great location on Folly. House is well laid out and very unique design elements. Great kitchen and living area. Showers are A number 1. Need to get rid of old games and resupply board games. Internet is slow but when you r on the beach who cares.

I am happy to be able to leave a review for such a perfect house. First of all, the view is breathtaking and the steps from the deck lead directly to the beach. There is a full bathroom for each bedroom, plus a half bath in the entryway. Beds are comfy and three bedrooms open to the deck or a balcony. The two fridges and open kitchen were ideal since we had a large group. There were 8 of us who stayed there and during the day we had other family come over to visit and walk the beach. There were an additional 15 people on the deck and in the spacious living room and we never felt crowded. The decor is lovely and the layout worked beautifully for our group. I’m already planning our next visit with the grown kids and grandchildren. You will not regret renting this beautiful house!

Awesome Trip

This was the 2nd time we’ve stayed at this house,, awesome house… only one complaint on this trip.. the 1st day we were there they had 3 dehumidifiers in the house running (lot of noise and not too pleasant to look at). We texted and told them we would like them removed, but they didn’t come until the next day..

Great location

We loved where the house was located. Enough space for all of us. We wound up being a smaller group than originally planned. We loved the style of the house. The kitchen was nice and spacious. We could also see the sunrise and set from the deck. Loved our stay. Bummed that it’s not available this year.

Wonderful, but know what you're getting.

First and foremost, let's talk about the location and overall charm of this beach house. It's absolutely fantastic! The house is situated in a prime spot with breathtaking views and the beach just a stone's throw away. The property exudes a unique character that makes it stand out from the rest. The kitchen is a highlight for those who love to cook and socialize. It's surprisingly well-stocked with various kitchen utensils, thanks to what seems to be contributions of previous guests. While the items might not be the best quality, they do the job and allow you to whip up some fantastic meals while enjoying the ocean view. The upper level boasts a split-level master suite with a cozy sleeping area overlooking the ocean, complete with sliding glass doors leading to a covered balcony. The other four bedrooms on the main floor each have their own bathroom, with two of them also having doors to a deck facing the ocean. Take your time to look around at all of the details. There are thousands of those charming little things either as part of the furnishings, or hanging as art. Of course, one of the most interesting pieces, what appears to be a ship’s helm fastened to the base of the staircase. Now, I can’t be sure, but it looks like the columns used for the staircase are from ships’ masts. We just loved this house! I The living area is spacious and perfect for larger groups, providing ample room for everyone to feel comfortable. Had more, but I'm out of space..

Sunrises and Ocean

We enjoyed our stay. The wall of windows in the living room area make for a spectacular view of sunrises and the ocean. We had no problem working remotely. We would recommend including step-by-step instructions regarding the elevator at the time check-in instructions are given. Step one being to check the circuit breaker upstairs near the master bedroom to ensure the elevator is switched to on. We opted not to use the elevator since we had already unloaded our stuff by the time we realized the elevator was switched off. The location was perfect for us. We would stay here again.

Beautiful oceanfront

This home was lovely! There was always something new we noticed in the décor which is always fun. The views were perfection. Even though we had a rainy day, we were able to sit inside and watch the waves roll in and surfers brave the chill. We did have a complication with the heat and couldn’t get the main floor warmer than 60 degrees. We also had a newborn with us and we were able to communicate with the property managers but no one showed up so that was disappointing. We were only there for three nights and the sun finally came out on our last day which helped. It’s always a bit disappointing when you have a legitimate complaint and no one shows up. Without that issue, we would give it five stars!
