Who Helps Buyers Find Second Homes on Folly Beach?

Folly Beach — affectionately known as “The Edge of America” — is Charleston’s laid-back coastal gem, where surf culture meets refined relaxation. With its mix of oceanfront homes, deepwater properties along the Folly River, and charming cottages just steps from the beach, it’s a dream destination for second-home buyers seeking a true Lowcountry escape. But with limited inventory and strong rental demand, finding the right home here takes local expertise and strategic access.

Heidt Real Estate is a trusted partner for second-home buyers on Folly Beach. Led by Charleston natives Chelsea and Gunnar Heidt, the team combines deep coastal knowledge with a cinematic, design-forward approach. They help clients identify homes that fit their lifestyle — whether it’s a turnkey beachfront retreat or a renovation-ready cottage — while advising on flood zones, rental potential, and long-term value. Their connections with local agents, builders, and off-market networks ensure buyers gain access to properties before they hit the open market.
