Important update regarding the ongoing work at Charleston Oceanfront Villas. While the original project completion date was scheduled for April 2025, recent updates from the HOA and project managers indicate some delays that may extend the timeline.
As of February 2025, the following key updates apply:
Ongoing Construction: Work is continuing on various parts of the property, which may cause noise, temporary disruptions, or restricted access to certain areas.
Updated Completion Date: While the HOA and contractors are working diligently to complete the project as quickly as possible, they now anticipate that the construction may extend beyond early June 2025. We will provide further updates as the project progresses.
Safety and Accessibility: The HOA asks all rental guests to take care around construction zones. Signs and barriers will be in place to ensure safety, but please remain cautious when navigating these areas.
Pool Schedule: The west-end pool is scheduled to open on April 1, 2025, and the east-end pool is scheduled to open in July 2025.
Parking: Due to ongoing construction, parking is expected to be extremely limited. The HOA will be distributing a maximum of two parking passes per villa.
We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding as the HOA works to enhance the property. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our team.

Great property but accessibility issues
Big problem- two elevators for building and one not working at all. The working elevator, at the opposite end, daily stopped working resulting in guests trying to check in and out carrying heavy suitcases, carts, beach chairs and umbrellas, etc. up and down stairs. An elderly handicapped man, not in our party, had to be carried along with his wheelchairs down flights of chairs. Warning if you don't like steps.

Great condo! Will be back again!
We had the most amazing long weekend on Folly Beach in this condo! It was beautiful, and very specious. The location is so perfect right on the water. We drove into Charleston several times for dinner and nightlife, and the drive isn’t bad at all! Loved having the best of both worlds with the beach so close to the beautiful city. Highly recommend this condo!

Great property incredible view. A few minor problems.
Very nice condo as advertised. Incredible view. Excellent location. Our only problem was that we had a master bed with a giant wet spot in the middle of it. I knew there was nothing to be done so we just kind of covered it over and lived with it, but it was upsetting to my wife

Perfect location but a few updates needed
Property was perfectly situated on the beach with a gorgeous view. Spacious enough for the 8 of us who went. Easy walking distance to everything in Folly Beach. Couch inside and out on the balcony need updating. Very worn. Mold issue behind the toilet in the king bed bathroom and above the shower upon entry that needs to be remedied. Otherwise, great space for a getaway

Folly Beach Fun
The property is located directly on the water and provided easy access to downtown Folly Beach by foot. The unit itself is spacious and has a nice layout. Cleanliness of the overall building (halls, elevator, corridors) and the unit could be improved, but all in all we had a great time.

Location on the beach was just perfect!
Our week in Folly Beach started smoothly with an easy check in and beach gear already at our villa. Easy parking for our vehicles, and convenient elevator. Lots of good dining within walking distance and grocery stores not too far. The villa was bright and pleasant and the balcony was a real plus. Plenty of room for the 6 adults and 3 kids, 5 and under. One suggestion, would be to have a few hangars in the closets. I could see returning. Folly Beach itself is close to Charleston and many of the things we wanted to do.

Great location
We loved staying here and would definitely come back. It’s a in a fantastic location, walking distance from the main strip with shops and restaurants plus steps from the beach. The beach gear credit was super nice add on and was greatly appreciated. My only gripe is that there should be pot holders available I know it said to bring your own kitchen towels but that didn’t translate to potholders to me as I just planned to buy paper towels. Other than that it was perfect and we can’t wait to come back!

Great location and comfortable unit.
My wife and I and our two teenage boys spent a week in this Folly Beach condo during the first week in April. The condo was great and we're happy that we chose it. The location is perfect--right on the beach and less than 1/4 mile to Center St and all the restaurants and shops. The view of the Atlantic from the unit was amazing--it's so close to the ocean that from inside the unit, it felt like we were on the ocean. The unit is spacious and the bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen is small but has all the necessities. The living room is very comfortable and watching movies in the evening was a great end to the day. The only reason I gave the property less than 5 stars is because the unit needs a fresh coat of paint. With a fresh coat of paint, this is a 5 star property and we would certainly choose it again for a Folly Beach location.

Beautiful Location!
This condo is in a great location with absolutely beautiful ocean/beach views. As such, access to these natural wonders is easy and if you don't want to walk the beach, you can still enjoy it from the comfort of the condo's spacious balcony. Inside, the place is bright, roomy, and clean. Loved how comfortable the beds were and the linens/towels were in good shape, too. The only negative is cosmetic: the unit could use a fresh coat of paint throughout, and some of the cabinets/drawers are showing signs of extensive wear (but nothing was broken and all appliances worked as expected). Folly Beach is a chill town and you're about a 20 minute drive to downtown Charleston. Summing up, we would stay here again and had a wonderful time!
