Making Waves is such a wonderful property that everyone truly enjoyed! Being right on the beach was a treat that made having fun so convenient. It was such a blessing that our senior dog could stay with us and enjoy the beach as well. The home was clean and accommodated our daughters and their friends.

The beach house was in a fantastic location with the best view as possible. It had floor to ceiling windows where you could look out at the ocean 24 hours a day. It was quiet, comfortable good beds in a very relaxing experience. You will not find a better view of an ocean setting in Folly Beach.
