Perfect Folly Beach House
Amazing home in the perfect location for a vacation at Folly Beach. The house was clean, fully stocked, and located within a quick walk to the beach and a playground. We had 6 adults and 4 kids under 6 yo. Everyone had a great stay. The house was kid-friendly, with supplies like plastic plates and toddler-safety supplies. Everything in the house was labeled, so it was easy to find anything we needed. Check in and out was simple, and the owners were super responsive and nice. This is VRBO the way it should be!

Rated BEST vacation EVER!
Our grandson’s, ages 7 and 4, rated our vacation as BEST vacation EVER! All of the adults confirmed it was a fabulous stay in Folly Beach, and much of the reason was because of staying at George and Aylin’s beach house! The house provided everything we needed, and more. All the little extras went above and beyond most of the other places we have rented from in the past. There were many pluses, but here are just a few that made our week truly fabulous. Location to the beach! This was vital for our family because of the grandchildren. Taking them, and all their stuff was a breeze, and if anyone had to get back to the house quickly, it was one short block away. Beach toys, boogie boards, umbrellas, beach chairs, all available for our use! No extra costs having to rent, or purchase these items! We flew from Dallas, so not having to worry about getting all that stuff once we arrived was awesome. Bicycles, both for adults, and children. ( including locks, and helmets! ) The golf cart we were able to rent for the week. Screened in porch, with a nice large table to enjoy meals, and game playing. Enough space, and comfort for all 6 of the adults, and 2 very active grandsons! I could go on and on, but will finish this review by saying we booked for next year, before we even headed back home.

Amazing stay!
We had an amazing stay! The house was great- tons of beautiful outdoor space, clean and full of light, well stocked with things you might need for your stay, and great layout to accommodate a large group. Its only a short block to the beach access- you can see the path from the front door- and its only a 10 minute walk to the main street on Folly with tons of restaurants, the pier, etc. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and responded very quickly. We would definitely stay here again!

Very Nice Beach House!
Lovely home! Very nice and spacious. There are nice screened and unscreened balconies and decks for every room and level. The house is well-stocked with amenities and supplies. Very near to the beach…approx 5 minute, easy walk. Very near the commercial strip…about 4 blocks, straight, flat walk. We took our little dog, and he loved the fenced back yard. The owners were very attentive and nice! We plan to return!

Restful
Lots of spaces to enjoy your own time and family time. Very comfortable beds. Enjoyed every part of the home. Clean and stocked and a nice welcome treat. Owners were excellent in answering questions and even willing to bring a lightbulb when needed. We did not let them do that, just so they knew for the next group. One quick block from beach and short walk to Center street!

Everything was perfect!
We absolutely loved our stay at this home. The place was even more beautiful than pictured. Everything was very organized and accessible. Loved using the bikes and the beach equipment too. There was a leak under the sink while we were there and George was quick to come and address while we were at the beach. The beach was only 3 minutes away. So easy to run back to the house for lunch or to grab something we needed. We will definitely stay here again. George and Aylin have done it well.

Lovely Beach Rental
This home was the perfect beach getaway! It was definitely one of the nicest vacation rentals we have ever had. The home was super well organized and came with a ton of different amenities, making our own travel much easier! The owners have done an amazing job of thinking through everything a traveling family could possibly need. The house was also in a great location - just a short 3 minute walk to the beach and a quick 10 minute walk to the shops/restaurants. The owners were super responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay as smooth as possible. They even offered to set up a full size crib for us before arrival! We rented the golf cart from the owners and loved the convenience it provided us in getting around the island We would definitely stay here again!!

This is a perfect house for a family vacation in a great location in Folly. It's a short walk to the beach and 1/2 mile to town.

Great Vacation
This was one of the best airbnb’s we have ever stayed in as a family. The house was beautiful and spacious. It was so well supplied and we lacked for nothing. They even supplied and set up a full size crib which was greatly appreciated by the Mom and Dad. The location was perfect for walking to the beach and town. We loved that you could rent the 6 person golf cart right through the hosts. It made it so convenient. It could not have been more perfect!

Perfect Beach Getaway
We have stayed at many properties over the years and this one by far was one of the very best. The location can’t be beat — a very short walk to the beach and convenient to shops and restaurants. The house itself is fantastic — tastefully decorated, extremely well appointed with all you could need while away (high chair, crib, beach gear, toiletries, access to streaming services, you name it) and absolutely loved all of the outdoor spaces. We definitely plan to return! Thank you for having us!

About the host

Host profile image
We visited Charleston several years ago and instantly fell in love with the charm, history, ​and people. Soon afterward, we started making plans to move here. Our family currently lives in Mount Pleasant. I work remotely from home and my wife teaches yoga.

Why they chose this property

The outdoor spaces provide an additional 1000+ square feet to enjoy the breezes and the soothing sounds of the ocean and abundant wildlife present on the island!

What makes this property unique

The proximity to the ocean, to Center Street (downtown Folly), and to downtown Charleston, makes this property a "ONE STOP SHOP" for your family vacation memories!
