Red’s Ice House Proclaims: 2 Red’s are Better Than 1!
The new Red’s Ice House at Bohicket Marina is a beautiful setting on the Marina with boats in the foreground and stunningly colorful sunsets across the marsh and river in the background.
The Post & Courier’s recent article gave Red’s 4 stars for view, 3 for atmosphere and 3 for service. There is a ground floor bar area with flat screen TVs, 2 dining areas, one of which has long tables, perfect for families. The outdoor dining patio gets plenty of use, but there’s more – an upstairs video game area, another large bar with inside and outside seating and a stage at ground level for the musical entertainment. Don’t forget Happy Hour 4-7 pm.

It’s worth the drive from town for a lazy afternoon by the Creek, some shopping and wandering the marina, great value on Red’s meals and drinks and music to while away the evening. Seabrookers and Kiawah residents have the edge, its right in our back yard…

Folly Beach real estate market report
Here is your March 2010 real estate market report for Folly Beach. There were 6 properties sold during March 2010. They included one lot on Little Oak Island, a Mariner’s Cay for $412k and an oceanfront property for $655k. The average sales price for the month was $393,400. This continues the downward trend on prices and it seems like many sales are pushing prices lower. This has resulted in a higher number of transactions, as buyers realize that prices are now within reach and pull the trigger on the island lifestyle they have been dreaming of.
Come on down to the island! The prices are fine!
If you have always thought that living at the beach was too expensive, then think again. In 2009 Q1, the average sales price was $438,000 and that has dropped to $401,000 in 2010 Q1. 22 properties sold in 1st Quarter 2010, compared to 11 in the 1st Quarter of 2009. The lower average sales price explains the reason for the increased number of sales. More people are able to move onto Folly Beach, leaving behind the feeling that it is too expensive to live on the beach. Increased demand typically signals the bottom of the market, so if this trend continues we could see prices rise in the future.
Now is a great time to buy a Folly Beach home because of the combination of low prices and low interest rates. Make sure you are working with someone who is an expert in the market and knows their way around the island. Please contact me here with any questions.

Taste of Folly Beach 2010 review
The Taste of Folly Beach 2010 was a great time with a great turnout. The streets were full of fans of Folly and their energy beat back the overcast skies, and warmed up the lower temperatures. The sun made an appearance here and there, which was a welcome sight for the many participating Folly establishments.The chili cookoff sponsored by Planet Follywood was extra competitive this year with over 30 entries. The awards were given out as follows:
1st place Ryan Galloway
2nd place Chef Aaron from Locklears
3rd place Chef Jonathan from Blu
Honorable mention Nick the kid
Brian Hawkins from the Folly Beach Crabshack won the server olympics, the finals featuread a photo finish with Brian winning by holding more beverage in his two cups.
The hot dog eating contest was entertaining. The winner ate 6 hot dogs, and there were images that conjured up memories of “Stand By Me”.
The tunes were provided by the Hawkes. Some of the largest crowds were in front of the stage dancing and swinging to the music.As usual when Center Street closes, a good time was had by all. Make sure and come out next year!
