Sunset Point Real Estate Guide: Homes for Sale & Island Living in Sunset Point, SC

On the west side of Folly Beach along the Folly River, Sunset Point is one of the island’s few true single-family neighborhoods — a quiet, residential community built for full-time living rather than the vacation-rental turnover found elsewhere on Folly.

Neighborhood Character

Sunset Point comprises roughly one hundred homes built from the late 1980s through the late 2000s, most raised with pull-under parking in the classic Lowcountry coastal style. What sets it apart most is its governing covenants, which prohibit short-term rentals — a deliberate choice that has made Sunset Point a haven for year-round residents and owners seeking a genuine neighborhood feel rather than a rotating cast of weekly renters.

Real Estate & Lifestyle

Homes here average around 2,500 square feet, with many enjoying direct Folly River frontage, private docks, and deep-water access prized by boaters and anglers. The lifestyle fit is unmistakable: buyers who want a real, settled address on Folly Beach, with daily river sunsets and quiet streets, but who also want the option to golf-cart into downtown for dinner.

Access & Amenities

Sunset Point sits close enough to Center Street’s restaurants, bars, and shops for an easy walk or short golf-cart ride, while the beach itself is only minutes away. Downtown Charleston remains a short drive across the connector, making Sunset Point a rare balance of river-side serenity and genuine walkable access to Folly’s social core.
