Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you found the home clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We stayed at this property for 2 weeks and loved it!! The beach is beautiful and the views are amazing from the deck. Our two small dogs loved walking the beach everyday. The downtown is very quaint with shop and restaurants! Definitely eat at lost dog and taco boy! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals!! Shower was always hot! Recommend this home 100%
Thank you for the 10-star review! We’re so glad to hear you had a great experience. We strive to provide a seamless stay for all our guests and hope to see you again soon.

Property is just as presented. Great location. Close to restaurants and fun bars. Beach was perfect. Property maintenance was amazing. We had several small issues but we’re fixed immediately. We would definitely enjoy staying at the Beach House again.

Loved our stay and would do it again. We only looked in the first floor in law suite and it was nice and cozy but needs to be aired out as it is musty.

Thanks for the review! We appreciate the feedback. Our location can be prone to higher humidity levels, which can sometimes lead to musty smells, especially if the property remains unoccupied for extended periods. We've taken steps to address the issue, including professional air duct cleaning and a dehumidifier to improve the air circulation. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again in the future!
This house is dog friendly. If you are looking for high-end finishes and designer furniture - this is probably not the place for you. Having said,

We appreciate you highlighting that this property is best suited for guests who prioritize comfort, a dog-friendly atmosphere, and location over luxury finishes. We aim for full transparency regarding the age and style of the home and ensure this is reflected accurately in our property listing photos. We believe this is a great, relaxing choice for families and pet owners, and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay! We hope to welcome you and your furry friend back again soon.
Old house, air conditioners taped to the windows and very noisy. House was dirty and bugs were in the house.Total scam

Thanks for the feedback! We want to address the concerns you raised. The home was inspected by a licensed pest control technician following your report, and no signs of bugs or pest infestation were found. If you noticed any insects, they were likely typical for a coastal environment. The exterior windows were recently cleaned. However, during the week of your stay, the area experienced significant rainfall, which unfortunately caused residue to quickly accumulate on the exterior glass. The painter's tape you observed around the window-mounted AC unit was placed there temporarily by our maintenance team to create an even tighter, more efficient seal. This is a standard measure to improve cooling performance and energy efficiency. We apologize if the unit's noise level bothered you. One chair cushion has some visible discoloration, but that cushion has been professionally treated and is thoroughly clean. We understand you were disappointed that your request for a full refund was denied, as the circumstances surrounding your cancellation did not qualify under our established policy. We strive to ensure all our guests have a comfortable and high-quality stay. We ask guests with concerns during their visit to contact us immediately so we can address and rectify the concern while they are on site.
Perfect low-key house mere steps from the ocean. Plenty of space indoors and outdoors to see and hear the ocean. Easy walk to Center Street. My husband and I will be back!

Lovely house ON the Beach! Hosts were wonderful. We did get the free bikes and chair rentals to have fun in Folly but I guess we brought the North East snow with us.First time in 7 years apparently We walked to all the restaurants while snowed in and met some great locals. The house is a home run and would love to stay again when the weather is above freezing!

Great stay for my family and me for the week! The only complaint I had was on the cleanliness. When we arrived, there was sand all over the floors and bedroom as if no one swept the floors prior to our arrival. Other than that, place was very nice and in a great location! Would recommend staying here!

Thank you for staying with us! We would have been happy to send housekeeping had we been made aware of the sand. We will ask them to be more vigilant. Glad you enjoyed your visit and we hope to see you again!
Perfect location!!!! House shows its age and has a huge problem with ants. Kitchen sink has no hot water and the washing machine was not operable. House pulls a premium rent based on location alone but the owner needs to spend some serious money on upkeep and the overall condition of the house. Front deck seems sturdy but looks like its falling down hill badly on the left side of the house.

We also offered a professional laundry service, which was respectfully declined. Regarding pests, the house is routinely treated as part of our scheduled pest prevention program, and we apologize that you still encountered ants during your visit. We appreciate your comments on the house's upkeep. We confirm that the current listing photos are accurate, reflecting the property's style. Our deck has been certified as structurally secure, but we will schedule an additional inspection immediately to ensure continued safety and address any visual concerns.

Thank you for the feedback Louis! We're glad you had a nice time on Folly Beach. This house has been tested for mold and the results came back negative. However, a residual musty smell can occasionally occur in areas prone to moisture. Our team will inspect the bathrooms again. Guest safety is our top priority and we appreciate you pointing that out. Thanks again for staying with us. We hope to see you again!

It really is about the location
Location was perfect! We absolutely loved that you could see the beach from the windows of the living space. The in-law suite where our teenage girls stayed was not the best. It was musty and none of the lights worked. The AC stopped working but was fixed the same day, so that was great! Impressed with the quick response. Folly Beach is a great place and we will definitely be back next year!!

Thank you for the review! We're glad we were able to respond quickly and repair the A/C. We would have been happy to address the in-law suite during your stay. We will make sure everything is working properly. Please come back and see us again!
Plus things great view and neighborhood. Upstairs beds comfortable.
Minus things Downstairs mother in law suite very musty and dark. Needs dehumidifier. Would not let guests use this room.
So for a two bedroom house, not a good value for 800.00 a night.

Thank you for the feedback! The downstairs in law suite recently passed a professional mold test. It may smell a bit musty at times when the humidity is high, but the apartment is completely safe. Pricing is set based on location, size, furnishings, and available amenities at the property. We're glad you enjoyed your time at Folly Beach. Thanks for staying with us!
The people at Carolina One were great! We had a small issue that was handled promptly. The property left a little to be desired though but as far as being right on the beach was great. Some cosmetics in the house needed updated and perhaps painting. We didn’t spend any time in the grandma suite. If the owners would invest around $10,000 in the property this would be one of the nicest houses on the island.

Thank you for sharing your experience! This home isn't for everyone. We're glad you enjoyed your vacation. It was a pleasure hosting you!
The view is 5 star for sure. The location is excellent. The house itself is dated but comfortable enough. We had a problem with palmetto roaches on the bottom floor. The rental company responded quickly and put part of our party up in a different accommodation for our stay. They were very efficient and responsive. They offered to move all of us, but we had seniors in our party and they wouldn’t have been able to make the trek to the beach. We were very disappointed that they only gave a 10% discount for our stay. Half of our party ended up a mile away and three blocks from the beach. So we paid almost full price for an ocean front home, but we were only able to use half of it, and the family was split up for our vacation. This couldn’t have been avoided, but a greater discount would have lessened the blow.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the amazing view and location.Your kind words about our team's responsiveness and efficiency in addressing the issue you experienced is appreciated. We want to assure you that our house is routinely treated for pest prevention by licensed, professional exterminators. However, it's true that sometimes a few palmetto bugs can find their way inside, especially after a lot of rain as they are quite common in this coastal area. We sent a pest control technician as soon as the issue was reported to us who thoroughly inspected the property and confirmed there was no infestation. Our offer for relocation and to provide a partial refund was made in good faith, as we genuinely wanted to make everyone's stay as comfortable as possible. Unfortunately since there wasn't anything wrong with the property, your circumstance did not warrant a further refund. We truly hope that despite this inconvenience you were able to make some wonderful memories. Your feedback is valued and we hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
Love Folly, lovely location near enough to walk to store/restaurants, and right on the dunes. However, I would not book this rental again. The lower level suite is noticeably musty, and dingy. The main bedroom is separated from the living room by french doors with a broken latch, jury rigged ( unsuccessfully ) with a paper clip. Per other reviews, the nonstick pots are not safe for use, there are electrical issues( front room SE plug hissed and sparked, exposed wires), and where other rentals would have books or games for a rainy day, here you have family photos and keepsakes. If you are a group of adults who all go to bed and rise at the same time, love cottagecore, and are not planning to cook in, it’s perfect.
