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!

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!

Perfect Folly Beach House

Amazing home in the perfect location for a vacation at Folly Beach. The house was clean, fully stocked, and located within a quick walk to the beach and a playground. We had 6 adults and 4 kids under 6 yo. Everyone had a great stay. The house was kid-friendly, with supplies like plastic plates and toddler-safety supplies. Everything in the house was labeled, so it was easy to find anything we needed. Check in and out was simple, and the owners were super responsive and nice. This is VRBO the way it should be!

Rated BEST vacation EVER!

Our grandson’s, ages 7 and 4, rated our vacation as BEST vacation EVER! All of the adults confirmed it was a fabulous stay in Folly Beach, and much of the reason was because of staying at George and Aylin’s beach house! The house provided everything we needed, and more. All the little extras went above and beyond most of the other places we have rented from in the past. There were many pluses, but here are just a few that made our week truly fabulous. Location to the beach! This was vital for our family because of the grandchildren. Taking them, and all their stuff was a breeze, and if anyone had to get back to the house quickly, it was one short block away. Beach toys, boogie boards, umbrellas, beach chairs, all available for our use! No extra costs having to rent, or purchase these items! We flew from Dallas, so not having to worry about getting all that stuff once we arrived was awesome. Bicycles, both for adults, and children. ( including locks, and helmets! ) The golf cart we were able to rent for the week. Screened in porch, with a nice large table to enjoy meals, and game playing. Enough space, and comfort for all 6 of the adults, and 2 very active grandsons! I could go on and on, but will finish this review by saying we booked for next year, before we even headed back home.

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!
