Folly Beach with a fascinating Bohemian edginess is a world unto itself and has always been a magnet for the creative and artistic. During Charleston’s Cultural Renaissance in the 20’s and 30’s, it was home to DuBose Heyward and George Gershwin while collaborating on the opera “Porgy and Bess.” Today Folly Beach continues to attract a collection of artists, professionals, and surfers. It is an easy 15 minute commute from the Historic District, yet a world removed from the constraints of the city.

Definitely not manicured, Folly Beach houses epitomize the personalities and egos of their owners, and this shows on every block. As prices rise, "Big is better" is the name of the game.
