Nestled along the shores of the Folly River, Deep Water Days is more than just a vacation rental—it’s an experience. This recently renovated luxury retreat offers an unparalleled blend of relaxation, adventure, and breathtaking natural beauty. Recently recognized as a 2025 VRBO Vacation Rental of the Year, this Folly Beach oasis is one of only 10 vacation rentals to receive this award in 2025, and this luxurious property sets the stage for a dream getaway where breathtaking views, relaxation, and endless activities await.
A Luxury Escape Unlike Any Other
From the moment you step through the doors of Deep Water Days, the midcentury modern-meets-coastal vibes and lush surroundings set the tone for a stay sure to be unlike any other on Folly Beach. You’re greeted by floor-to-ceiling windows that frame stunning Folly River views, while the thoughtfully designed interiors create a picturesque backdrop for your stay. This spacious 5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths home combines coastal sophistication with modern comfort and, with accommodations for up to 12 guests, this home is designed for extended stays with family and friends. Outdoors, the private pool and spa beckon for days of leisurely soaking in the sun.
Whether you’re starting the morning with coffee and watching herons explore along the marsh, or unwinding in the spa under a canopy of stars, the outdoor spaces offer a sanctuary of relaxation. The oversized copper fire pit creates the perfect ambiance for evening cocktails and storytelling, while the grill and dining area provide an ideal setting for alfresco meals overlooking the water.
What does this mean for you?
You’ll appreciate the attention to detail and standout amenities that make Deep Water Days such an incredible destination. VRBO selects just 10 properties annually for this prestigious award, chosen from more than two million listings on the Vrbo app, based on the following criteria:
- Exceptional guest ratings: Ratings of 9.8 or above and stellar reviews from former guests
- Premier Host* status: Properties managed by hosts with a proven track record of providing excellent guest experiences
- Multi-bedroom accommodations: Enough space for families or group trips; all homes have at least three bedrooms for guests to comfortably stay together
- Standout amenities: Homes that feature the most popular amenities on Vrbo; every honoree has a private pool or hot tub, and extra consideration was given to homes with unique features like a pickleball court, mini golf course or private sauna
“Vrbo hosts are ultimately the key to making a traveler’s vacation one to remember. Premier Hosts in particular are known to go above and beyond to offer exceptional, reliable and relaxing guest experiences,” said Tim Rosolio, Vice President of Partner Success for Vrbo.

One-of-a-Kind Experiences Await at Deep Water Days
Waterfront Adventures
For those who crave adventure, Deep Water Days sits on deep water, meaning you can bring your boat along for your stay. Imagine waking up, stepping onto your private dock, and setting off for a sunrise cruise or a day of fishing.
If you prefer a slower pace, the calm waters of the Folly River are perfect for paddleboarding or kayaking. Keep an eye out for dolphins playing nearby—a magical experience unique to this location.
The Ultimate Beach Experience
While the river provides endless entertainment, Deep Water Days is also just a short walk from Folly Beach. A scenic path at 13th Street leads you straight to the sandy shores, where you can enjoy a sunrise stroll, take a surf lesson, or simply bask in the South Carolina sun. Folly Beach is known locally as a surfer’s paradise, and most days, you’ll find surfers riding the waves at The Washout.
Folly Fun
For those who love exploring local culture, Folly Beach’s charming Center Street is just minutes away. Here, you’ll find everything from boutique shopping to renowned restaurants like The Lost Dog Café, where you can indulge in a laid-back Southern brunch, or Taco Boy, a must-visit for fresh seafood tacos and margaritas. Don’t forget to stop by Bert’s Market, the island’s beloved 24/7 grocery store, to grab a hot dog & a Coke or for a late-night snack run.
