Step into Gone Surfing, our oceanfront home on Folly Beach where salty air, wide-open views, and laid-back vibes are part of the daily rhythm. Built in 1962 and full of character, this is our family’s personal retreat—shared with guests who want to slow down, stretch out, and sink into beach life.
Wake up to sunrise over the water, sip your coffee with the waves in full view, and head straight out for a surf session or beach walk—no shoes required. The wide open layout makes gathering easy, and the downstairs open-air space is perfect for ping pong battles, yoga flows, or just catching a breeze in the shade.
With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and thoughtful touches throughout, Gone Surfing is made for families, small groups, and those dreaming of a coastal retreat with heart. Whether you’re surfing, sunning, or simply relaxing, our hope is that you leave feeling lighter, sandier, and just a little more connected to the magic of Folly.
Our family had a great time visiting Folly Beach and the Charleston area for the first time! Carri Rosen was incredibly helpful with all our questions and was a fantastic host.House was Awesome!!We really enjoy boogie boarding, and this was the perfect location to enjoy the beach and the waves. The downstairs ping pong and foosball tables made for fun family activities in the evenings, too.We would highly recommend this home and spot to anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed, beach-town vibe. Also, we suggest renting a golf cart for easy access to downtown Folly!Thanks again, Carri!– Dustin, Keela, DB and Family

We’re a Folly Beach family—locals who surf, raise our kids by the sea, and run our own real estate company, Sweet Grass Real Estate, right here on the island. Gone Surfing is our personal home, and every morning starts with a sunrise over the ocean (I even post a photo each day in the “Sunrises and Sunsets” Facebook group—it’s a whole thing!).
Hosting gives us the chance to share this one-of-a-kind place with guests who appreciate the magic of Folly: salty breezes, laid-back vibes, and the rhythm of coastal life. We’re always happy to offer local tips, wave reports, or favorite food spots—just ask!
We didn’t just choose this community—it’s our life. Jon was born in Charleston and grew up coming to Folly, and I’ve called this island home for the past 29 years. Together, we run two small businesses here: Sweet Grass Real Estate and Jon’s law office, both rooted right in the heart of Folly. We live here, work here, surf here, and spend as much time as we can out on the water.
Folly isn’t just a beach—it’s a vibe. It’s funky, creative, and full of character. You’ll find sunrises worth waking up for, friendly faces around every corner, and a true sense of community you don’t find many places anymore. This place has our hearts, and we’re so happy to share it with you.
It’s the vibe—you feel it the moment you arrive. There’s something about the wide open layout, the light, the salt in the air, and that 180° ocean view that instantly puts you at ease. It’s not fancy or flashy—it just feels good. The energy here is relaxed, open, and honest, and we wouldn’t trade it for anything.
