Wonderful Stay!
Our family had a wonderful stay on Folly Beach! The house was beautifully decorated. We had plenty of space for everyone with all of the bedrooms and bathrooms. We especially loved the hang out space under the house where we watched football games and enjoyed the hot tub. The location was perfect and we loved being able to walk to the beach, Bert’s Market, restaurants, and shops! We really hope to stay here again!

A Perfect House for the Beach
I was so pleased with this property. The location was so convenient to the beach and the main commercial area. The furnishings were first rate and everything was geared to our comfort from the well stocked kitchen to even the mattresses and bedding. I would highly recommend this property. We loved the fully screened in porch that our 2 year old could safely play in and enjoy the fresh air. If you book it you will not be disappointed. The only negative was the need for towel bars in the bathrooms but it would not keep us from staying there again.

Beautiful Property - Exceeded Expectations
Our family just returned from our vacation at Folly Beach (week of June 22nd) and we already began planning our next visit. The home is beautiful and 100% accurate to the pictures. It is very well appointed with all the comforts of home, including a well stocked kitchen/supplies, smart TVs in every room, bathroom toiletries, etc. The linens and bath towels that were provided were comfortable and high quality - along the lines of a higher end hotel. The location is prime if you like to be near the hustle and bustle of the island - you can walk everywhere in a matter of minutes, but don’t let that deter you as the 10 pm - 8 am noise ordinance ensures a good night’s sleep. The downstairs enclosure area was great to hang out in after a day at the beach. The home included at least 5 beach chairs, a bucket/shovel, an umbrella, and a couple boogie boards. The property management were very responsive, but only have office hours from 9-5, Mon-Fri; however, they do provide a contact number in the event of an emergency. We were also provided with the opportunity to check-in a day early which we took advantage of as we were planning to leave Friday afternoon, stay the night in a hotel in Virginia, then drive the remainder on Saturday morning. Checking in on Friday allowed us to leave early Friday morning and drive straight to Folly - it was great being all settled in Friday night and it even saved us money compared to what we would have been paying for 3 hotel rooms.

Beautiful Beach House
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is within a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. It was clean and spacious. We especially enjoyed spending our afternoons in the outdoor space under the house. There is a market within a block from the house that had a lot of items we needed as well. We had a great time here.

Great house near beach and in walking distance to restaurants and retail
House was either new or recently renovated. It's a duplex and I was in the B side. The house was a couple of blocks from the beach and a block from the main restaurant and retail area in Folly Beach. The downstairs space with the hottub, outdoor shower, grill, TV and seating area was nice. We were able to store our beach things in there and keep sand out of the main house. I thought it might be noisy because of being so close to restaurants and bars but it was not. Very minimal oceanview from porch off master bedroom.

Great Location
Townhouse was the perfect spot for beach going or headed to restaurants. Check in was easy and clearly communicated. Place was so nice. Open, clean and tons of hang out space. The only issue was we prepared to have Keurig so brought k-cups instead of coffee:( we checked in on a Saturday so rental company was closed til Monday. Monday they had one for us on the porch, which was great. But would have loved it the whole time. Would have also been nice to have some extra blankets. But overall, great place, would stay again.

Relaxing getaway
My family of mostly young adults (no one under 18) loved the convenience of this property. It is situated in the heart of Folly Beach, two blocks from the bustling restaurant area and two blocks from miles of beachfront. The property was clean and well-appointed with everything we needed for a four day stay. The gas grill, hot tub, Jacuzzi, and additional sitting area underneath the property were added bonuses, and we enjoyed spending time there watching TV on the big screen. There are multiple screened-in decks for spending time outdoors. The listing represents the property well. Management was very responsive to requests and questions. Would recommend this property for a visit to FB.

The location is great- close to the main drag and close to the beach. The house was very nice to stay in. We enjoyed the outdoor hot tub area and also the screened in porch. I wish the house had been a little more stocked on things we needed (ie: paper towels, dishwasher pods, trash bags). I would stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a place with great amenities.
