Overall, we had a great time at the property. Only suggestions I would make would be to add another t v wait. Let me see what and change the mattress. On the master bedroom, it was too soft.

Location is the key for this property. You can walk from the front of the house to the public beach access and have your toes in the sand in less than two minutes.The Folly Beach area has a lot to offer for activities and restaurants. It really is a wonderful location. Beds and sitting areas are comfortable. The kids enjoyed the swings under the house. Be sure to bring your own consumable kitchen supplies (I.e. aluminum foil, cooking oils, spices/seasonings, etc.) as the only thing supplied was salt & pepper. Otherwise the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, pots, pans, and dishes. Contact the host early and often with any issues. Response time was not the most efficient. But once contact was made, issues were resolved professionally. Overall it was a nice getaway and I would consider staying here again.

Family Beach Vacation

Great location, close to beach access in a less crowded area of the island. Great for a laid back, low key beach vacation for this family of three. Just what we wanted.

Great location! Beautiful house!

This property was perfect for my family to get away to the beach! The two bedrooms worked perfectly for our family of four (two adults plus two children). The convenience of the outdoor shower and laundry room were a big perk!

Folly Beach

We enjoyed a few days here at Folly beach. The house is a typical, relaxed beach house 1 minute walk from lovely Folly Beach. It was a 15-20 minute walk to the area with shops and restaurants. Great for a small group stay.

Great Location and Cute Beach House

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute beach house located directly across from the beach in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again. The only issue was there weren’t enough beach chairs and no beach towels.

Great location!

Great location and a cute little house. There was no gas grill as stated, and we had to clean, sweep and wipe down the house before we were comfortable bringing our things in. It is tough to keep a beach house clean, so that is understandable.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed the great location and our cute little house. However, we are truly sorry for the issues you encountered with the cleanliness of the home and the missing gas grill. This is unacceptable and not the standard we hold ourselves to.

We are addressing this immediately with our team to understand where the breakdown in our process occurred. We also apologize for the inaccurate listing regarding the grill, and we will be correcting that right away. Your comments are invaluable and will help us make the necessary improvements. We hope that despite these issues, you were still able to enjoy your time on Folly Beach.

Foley beach

The location was great and the property itself was good but it clearly was run down and needed some cleaning up. It was perfect for my family of five and had a great spot for easy access to the beach. The property management was very nice and super responsive!

Lovely week at Folly

It’s a quaint beach cottage with lovely decor and excellent location , making it a great value for the price. Very easy beach access in a quiet part of the island. Comfortable master bed/mattress. Good seating for the size. Nice outdoor space. We would have appreciated beach gear, such as chairs, but the property manager does provide rental information. We would absolutely stay here again.

Disappointed

My biggest disappointment was the listing didn’t mentioned that the half bath was not part of the living quarters. The half bath is underneath the home. Also, it was a challenge to get the temperature comfortable.

Great Little Getaway

The location of this property was perfect for accessing the beach and provided ample parking. Having a hose and outdoor shower area was great. I would recommend having a rubber mat (with holes) in the outdoor shower area instead of standing on the wooden deck boards. The kitchen area was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The bathroom was fine and ample bath towels were provided. The washer/dryer and second bathroom are easily accessed on the lower level outside of the home. The television could be updated to a larger size and the two chairs in the living were not very comfortable. The outdoor gas grill was a little dated but worked fine. The lower swinging chairs, underneath the deck, were great for relaxing and the outer upstairs deck was great for sitting and listening to the ocean waves while enjoying an evening beverage. All in all it was a good beach house, located just far enough outside of the main strip, to provide a nice and enjoyable stay at a decent cost. Great little getaway.

Close to beach

Pros- This was a cute little cottage near public beach access. We enjoyed the privacy and parking space. The area under the deck had some lovely shade and nice swings to relax in. There was a full sized washer and dryer below the unit and a hose to rinse off sand. Cons- The air stopped working the last 2 days into our visit. It was very hot. The first night we thought maybe it was a fluke- we had been with family all day and it had been very hot outside so we went to bed, not thinking much of it. The next day it seemed the same and only got worse. We contacted the manager of the property and she was very quick to reply and relocated us the last evening into a condo closer to the restaurants- so it was actually a free upgrade. Prior to the last two nights, the air was SUPER COLD and comfortable. Prior to the air situation, my only complaint is that the area on the rugs were not swept well and there was no shade on the balcony to keep you cool.
