Welcome to
Folly by the Sea

Our Home

"Folly by the Sea" is a time capsule located between two multi-million dollar homes, which enhances its quaint Hatteras Island appeal. Larissa and I ascribe to the nuestra casa es tu casa our home is your home vibe. Folly has definite curbside appeal with her long driveway and abundance of room to park. There is a semi-enclosed outside beach shower with a dressing room to refresh after having fun at the beach. You’ll also find your private sandy path through the dunes to the beach. A 15-20 minute beach walk south takes you to the Avon Pier.
Expect Folly to provide fun outdoor activities such as bike riding (four bikes), a custom Hole Toss board, Horse Shoes, Badminton, Basketball Hoop (bring your b-ball), kite flying, and if you have a tent for the kids, a backyard to pitch it. Yes, we have charcoal grills - in case you’re wondering, and a terrific 8-person hot tub. We also hold membership for our guests in Kinnakeet Shores Pool and Tennis Club. Walking and just doing nothing at the beach, watching the sunset or the sunrise with morning coffee, drinks on the deck, and listening to the ocean, it's all here - your pups will love it also! :-). Don’t forget to bring a football or soccer ball (we used to provide them, but they tend to ‘disappear’).
"Folly" has a charm that we cherish and try to preserve. Its timeless style is very dear to our hearts and much appreciated by our guests, as are the upgrades you will experience… We invite you to read and leave your comments in our “Guest Book.” After a long day of fun, you will be able to relax in comfortable beds (towels and linens are provided). There are three bedrooms on the main floor: a master - with a king-sized bed, a guest - with a queen bed, and a “kids” room with two pyramid bunk beds.  The master bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, and two other bedrooms share one bathroom that is on the same floor. Each bedroom has a 40" 4K Smart TV with multiple streaming services you will enjoy.
The living area, kitchen, and dining, as well as a half bathroom, are on the 2nd floor.
You'll find thoughtful amenities abound. Let's talk about the kitchen. You'll find everything you need to prepare meals during your stay. Our kitchen is upgraded with many accessories that a chef would desire for meal preparation: A food processor, Vita-Mix blender, pancake press, Ninja Juicer, two toasters, Keurig coffee maker, two regular drip coffee makers, Popcorn popper, Rice maker pot, just to name a few.   
The dining room table is spacious, and seats eight, and the additional breakfast bar provides extra space for three so everyone can enjoy time together over a home-cooked meal.
The living area is the perfect place to relax with family and friends. Watch your favorite streaming TV show or movie on the 55” Smart TV, engage in a little friendly competition with a game of foosball, or just relax, listening to music on the Bose sound system. The living area also gives you ocean views through the dunes. It changes from one year to another: sometimes you can see more of the ocean, but other times, there is just a peek of the ocean your eye will catch. It is the beauty of the dunes: the blowing wind shifts the sand, uncovering some dunes and covering the others. Step outside on the sun deck and watch the sunrise with your morning cup of coffee, or simply just enjoy the Hatteras Island salt air! Don't be surprised to see a few deer from time to time 😳
