CASA AL MARE
Your Coastal Family Retreat Awaits!

Nestled on a serene street just one block from the beach and four blocks from vibrant Center Street—brimming with restaurants, cafés, and shops—Casa Al Mare is the ultimate private escape for your family vacation. This spacious, beautifully appointed home offers everything you need for a memorable seaside getaway.

Outdoor Bliss
Each room flows seamlessly onto its share of 1,000 square feet of outdoor space, inviting you to breathe in the salty air, bask in the ocean’s soft roar, or relax to the tranquil whispers of the tidal creek out back.

Relax on the expansive two-story porch, grill on the large natural gas BBQ, or sway lazily on the crib-sized porch swing. With ample seating, chaise lounges, and a fenced-in backyard, it’s perfect for all ages, including your furry friends.

Inviting Interiors
The heart of the home is an open-concept living area, featuring stylish furnishings, a dramatic two-story ceiling, and plenty of natural light—ideal for gathering with loved ones. The gourmet kitchen comes fully equipped with a 4-slice toaster, blender, Crock-Pot, 10-cup coffee maker with K-cup compatibility, coffee grinder, electric kettle, French press, and hand mixer. You’ll also find K-cups, coffee, tea, sugar, spices, olive oil, vinegar, condiments, utensils, and all the cookware a chef could desire.

Restful Retreats
The first-floor master suite boasts a king-sized bed, en-suite bathroom, and direct access to a sprawling deck—perfect for sunbathing or stargazing. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms offer two queen beds, two full beds, and two full bathrooms, each with its own outdoor access. Every space is designed for comfort and convenience.

Beach-Ready Amenities
We’ve got you covered with beach towels, chairs, a beach cart, umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys, and an outdoor shower to rinse off after a sun-soaked day. For fun at home, enjoy cornhole, a giant Connect-4, board games, and a high-speed 400 Mbps internet connection. Five Smart LED TVs come loaded with Xfinity Stream, Prime Video, Netflix, Peacock, Apple TV, Paramount+, and HBO Max.
Family & Pet Friendly!

Traveling with little ones?
We provide a Pack-N-Play, full-size crib, high chair, toddler bed rails, baby/pet gate, Britax B-Agile stroller, umbrella stroller, and a car seat. For pets, there’s a large two-door crate, dog dishes, a spill mat, and a secure, fenced backyard. Plus, the "Wave Watch Playground" is just steps away at the street’s end!

Modern Comforts

AMAZING property and experience!

This was the second time in consecutive years I’ve stayed at this property, and both times it was an incredible experience. The owner is very friendly, and the property is always immaculate. Fantastic location close to downtown and steps from the beach. I can’t wait to go back next year!

Amazing Home for a Vacation with Extended Family

I have nothing negative to say about our stay at Casa al Mare on Folly Beach. My extended family and I (sisters, parents, significant others, and young kids) stayed at the home over Memorial Day week, and loved every second of our trip. The location of the house is perfect, and the house itself was spacious and very comfortable. The home looks exactly as it does in the pictures, and was stocked full with amenities and extras that made our stay with young children seamless—crib and pack n play, height hair, kids plates and utensils, some games and books, and tons of beach toys. The multiple screened in porches were also perfect for enjoying the weather. The hosts were extremely communicative. My family had an amazing trip!

This is our second stay at this property—by far the best rental we have ever had. Perfect location (near the beach, backing up onto marsh area for great birdwatching, quiet neighbors) perfect hosts (really, there was not a thing that they hadn’t thought of). Highly, highly recommend.

We had an amazing stay! The house was great- tons of beautiful outdoor space, clean and full of light, well stocked with things you might need for your stay, and great layout to accommodate a large group. Its only a short block to the beach access- you can see the path from the front door- and its only a 10 minute walk to the main street on Folly with tons of restaurants, the pier, etc. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and responded very quickly. We would definitely stay here again!
