Little Oak Island in Folly Beach, SC features single-family homes and condos in this gated community where the large majority of residents live full-time. Vacation rentals are not allowed here so it's something to consider if you're looking for an investment property to rent out.

However, because vacation rentals are prohibited, the neighborhood has a much more tight-knit vibe to the community. Resident amenities include a community pool, tennis courts, and of course amazing views of the tidal creeks. Most homes will include a tidal boat dock and lift.

While you're not in Folly Beach proper, it's only a short drive or bike ride there, and James Island, West Ashley, and Downtown Charleston or only a short drive away as well.
