Folly Beach Town Council to review short-term rental cap

Feb 16, 2026

Three years after Folly Beach introduced its short-term rental cap, Mayor Chris Bizzell says the city is reviewing the law as part of its 2026 strategic plan. The goal is to address loopholes and unanswered questions from the original draft. The cap, adopted by voters in February 2023, limits short-term rentals to 800 second homes. At the time of the vote, 1,125 rental properties accounted for 43% of housing stock. About 200 entries remain on the waiting list.
