Christmas on Folly

Enjoyed a carriage ride downtown the night we arrived. Our adult son was diagnosed with Covid on Christmas Eve so we enjoyed a lot of time by the fire pit. The back yard was perfect for our oyster roast and the little ones enjoyed playing outside. Loved walking across the road to enjoy the beach. Would definitely recommend this property!

Perfect family house!

A lovely, comfortable beach house! The location is wonderful. We rented golf carts to get around the island with the kids. We had ages 6-70 & everyone had a great time.

Great Beach House!

Great beach house. Great yard. Amazing location. Very helpful and responsive host with great communication. Nice sized house, well equipped. The yard is awesome. Fully fenced in. Nice fire pit and cool outdoor space. The best thing is the location. It's so easy to walk to the beach on the path right across the street. It takes literally 1 minute to walk there. The beach is really nice and was not at all crowded (though we were there in mid-August so maybe past peak season). We would definitely rent this house again. We had the best time. My wife and I agreed this was our best vacation since our honeymoon to Hawaii 11 years ago!

Loved our stay

Really great place to stay. Nice fenced backyard, so room to run for your pet(s). Foosball table was a hit with the kids. Location was great, not as congested being down the road from the middle of Folly. Quick walk across the street to the beach. No houses between you and the beach. Lots of parking. Would definitely stay again.

Perfection

Everything about the home was great. The main living area was comfortable and family friendly. The three upstairs bedrooms have plenty of room and the downstairs bedroom with its own shower and 1/2 bath is a nice space separate from upstairs. The back yard certainly extends the living space -when it’s not too hot - either under the house or in the yard. Speaking of the yard - it is perfect for a dog! Marc is a great host and tremendously responsive to any question. We are already checking next year’s calendar to pick our return dates.

Amazing at the Folly

First it is with sincerity that Marc, the owner was an absolute wonder to communicate with. I appreciate his ongoing communications with my son and with me to support and make our visit an amazing experience. The house was absolutely fantastic. The simple walk over to the beach was perfect, the beach was not crowded. And even though it was a public beach access, the people who came seemed to be half visitors (like us) and have locals who did yoga, surfed, or just hung out visiting with friends. Back the property....the house and grounds were spacious. Enough to be able to have alone time, gather around the fire pit, eat meals together at the table, and sleep comfortably. Having a basement and an upstairs offered places to store your bags, wash/dry your clothes, take two showers at the same time, but also just stare out the windows that surrounded the house to enjoy the neighborhood. And the location was great for us. Just far away enough from the main roads to keep traffic noise and visitors away, but close enough to enjoy a short bike ride into town to eat at the great restaurants, drink at a bar, or visit any of the fun stores in town. Marc will have us visit again. Great job Marc! And Thank you!

Birthday at the beach after a long northern Winter

If you have any realization what a long northern winter can do to your psyche , this spot will restore your hope for the future! Lovely, relaxing, and the name of the house is legit: a few gorgeous step to the sand.

Excellent Stay!

We had never been to Folly Beach before and it did not disappoint! We stayed the second week of April, and while a little cooler, we had a great time. Marc was an excellent host and the house was just perfect! This house is just across a small 2 lane road from the beach. There were a couple of times when we were the only ones out there. I would definitely stay here again!

Cozy Oasis

While putting our house on the market, we decided to do a small staycation to avoid the stress of showings. This was the perfect spot. I was able to grab it up last minute even with dogs. Although the weather was unusually cold for Charleston this was a warm cozy house with plenty of space for us to hunker down in. The kids all had a room with a tv to veg out when we needed some separation. While the large dining table, sunroom w/foosball & selection of board games was lovely for time together. Not to mention the patio space under the house made it possible for me to take the dogs out while staying out of the freezing rain. When the weather cleared a nice walk on the beach & lunch at the pub rounded out a very enjoyable stay. My family will most certainly be returning.

Great property for our group of 5 adults from 18 to mid-50s and our dog. Completely fenced in yard. Steps from beach. Kitchen is well stocked. House has a good allotment of basic supplies like TP and paper towels and the like. Away from downtown Folly but close to lots of surfers. Lovely stay.

Great location

We were a little late on booking a place this year and were happy to find something still available this close to the beach for the 2 of us, our 7 month old and our 2 dogs. The fenced in yard was fantastic for the dogs and very secure. The house is an older home, so don't expect the open bright layout of a newer place. You're really paying for location with this spot. That said, it felt nice and clean and had everything we needed for a short stay. As other reviews mention, the beds were comfortable. It was so easy to get to the beach which was nice considering all the stuff we now haul for a little one ;) Owner was very nice and responsive!

Folly Fourth Getaway

The location of the property is perfect! Right across from the beach access. The house is so cute and the beds are extremely comfortable. Our four legged family member loved the large fenced in yard! We come to Folly every year and this will definitely be a repeat stay!
