Beautiful view of the ocean. Nice places to eat within walking distance. King Street shopping less than 30 minutes away. Rainbow Row just minutes away. We had a very enjoyable experience.

Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you found the property very clean. We appreciate you staying with us and hope to host you again in the future.
Great location! Beachfront. Staff was helpful and responsive. My only comment is it would have been nice to have salt and pepper available in the kitchen. It would have been a waste to buy it for the few days we were there.

Thank you for the ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review, Noel! We're so grateful you chose Charleston Coast Vacations for your getaway. We will be sure to stock up on condiments going forward. Great suggestion! We hope to host you again in the future!
It was the perfect location for our stay on Folly Beach! On the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shops. Lots of parking. It is on the 4th floor. There is an elevator. They provide shopping carts for carting your luggage and supplies.Both the bedroom and living room have doors that open to the spacious balcony.

Thank you for the feedback and the kids words, Windy! We're so grateful you chose Charleston Coast Vacations for your stay and we would love to host you again in the future.
A clean, well managed property, the proximity to Charleston and its many historic homes is convent, and the beach is clean, uncrowded, and steps away (directly on the beach) from this condo unit. We found it to be accurately described and the 3 bedroom-3 bath unit has ample room for four. Check-in and check-out was frictionless.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the convenient location, spacious layout, and easy check-in process. It’s wonderful that you found the condo just as described and appreciated the peaceful, uncrowded beach right outside. We hope to host you again on your next visit to the Charleston area!
My mom, sister, niece and I stayed and we had a great time visiting Charleston and relaxing at the pool or beach. It was a great location to walk to restaurants and easy drive into Charleston. Would stay their again and highly recommend it!.

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Tides of 5! We'd love to have y'all back to stay with us again soon on the Charleston Coast!
Great place to stay location was good. The only problem was the floors were dirty, we had our grandbaby with us who is crawling, so we had to call the office and they brought us a mop out to clean the floors. Everything else in the condo was great.
The view was to die for. Condo was well furnished and very comfortable. Will definitely come back!

Thank you for the review Barbara! Tides of Five is a fantastic condo with sweeping views of the Atlantic. We hope to have you and your group back soon!
Great location and view. Enjoyed access to beach, pier and shops. Carts to carry items to room is a great idea. Plenty of kitchen items to cook Thanksgiving meal for six people.

We're so glad you enjoyed your Holiday on Folly Beach at Tides of 5! We'd love to have y'all back to stay with us again soon on the Charleston Coast!
Absolutely the perfect condo. We have stayed twice and enjoyed it both times. The only complaint is there need to be a center entrance to the beach from the elevator but that has nothing to do with this rental.

Great place to stay!!! Very clean with lots of space. The Balcony with table and chairs was a great hang out spot for our crew. Walking distance to so many places. Definitely, first choice for next year.
