Overall Basic as Described but…

Listing description said “basic” and definitely was with 3 nice sized rooms, one bathroom, dining, living and kitchen areas. Games and puzzles were nice, but had continuous issues with TV. It, overall, met our needs but didn’t find extra TP until checking out, we bought replacement hand soap, and random broken stuff all around. Ok, can deal with that but the place was quite dirty - walls with footprints and gunk, kitchen floor unclean, and vents filthy and not healthy for anyone with allergies. Price was reasonable for what we got and it met our needs but a cleaner environment would have been appreciated.

Perfect location

Host was great at communicating and was very flexible with us when we needed to change our reservation, seems like a very kind person and easy to work with when planning our trip. Location is absolutely perfect either for spending time in downtown Charleston for sightseeing or for proximity to Folly Beach, and price for that location cannot be beat. Plenty of AC, clean towels, and wifi. Unit was not super clean (floors, bathroom especially) and missing some basics, like extra toilet paper (there was only one partially used roll) and no soap for hand washing in the bathroom. While it said bare bones I still think being clean and enough tp are expected. Two of the beds were great, the third was extremely creaky/Shakey, and felt like the frame would not hold well with much weight, so plan accordingly if your group is large enough to need all three bedrooms. We did see several large cockroaches as well, we know they're common in SC but feel that should be disclosed, especially as the kitchen trash is open with no lid.

Was nice before bigs were found in the bed

House was as expected when you show up site unseen. Bugs were found underneath the sheets in one of the beds, and when we told the property owner about it, she gave a solution of changing the sheets which doesn’t solve the bug problem. When me and my friends said we were not staying there because of the bugs in the bed. She took it to heart and then the conversation got heated. The owner proceeded to take a video of my friend and her one year-old calling her and her child gross and disgusting. Somethings were said that probably shouldn’t have but the owner was very rude. True my friend should have just walked away but the owner should’ve been a bigger person and just stopped engaging but then proceeded to call a 1 year old gross and dirty. If she would’ve stopped the conversation, I wouldn’t have to be writing this.

Folly Road House

Value good for location. Picture od exterior would be useful in setting expectations. Auto body shop next door ŵas not a problem. A solid barrier between the sitting area and the street would be useful as the sea breeze blew the curtains horizomal

Cute cozy stay

Other than some minor things this house was great. We didn’t have time to get to the beach and thought it would be closer, but that’s ok! Owner was super responsive and the house was accommodating. Next time we are booing for a wedding I will have to think more about bathroom space. Being close to Walmart was super convent!

NOV24 Trip

The issue with our stay was cleanliness related, and the owners should probably look into a new cleaning staff. When we arrived at 5 (after check in) the property had not been cleaned. The cleaner arrived shortly after we did, and right before I was going to call the property manager. We agreed to wait until she was finished cleaning since sometimes things happen. But even once she finished cleaning, it was clear that she rushed. There were old McDonalds cups/wappers in the cabinets, blankets left on the couch that clearly had not been washed in several visits, and the bathroom only received a surface level clean. Because I had my kids with me, and didn't want to try to find additional lodgings, I just cleaned the bathroom myself and removed the blankets from the couches and beds. It is a shame because the location is great for what we needed, although it is on a VERY busy street so beware. Hopefully the owners will address the cleanliness issue, as it could be a good place to stay beyond that.

Will’s Review

It is a Beautiful little duplex house. With 3 bedrooms and Everything you need! It has its own Kitchen and Living room, even a little Dining room. Great Location right near the beach. It is right on Folly Road so there’s a lot of traffic going by. And then it looks like it was recently painted maybe a little too thick so some of the bedroom doors are hard to close and open, but these were minor things. For the most part, we had a great stay. I would recommend it and consider staying there again on my next visit to Charleston!

Great house for the value!

Our family came to Charleston for a wedding. There were six of us and a hotel was just too expensive and not an option. We found this cute little three bedroom house. The price was right and we really enjoyed staying there. It’s on a busy street which concerned us, but we never heard any of the noise, even at night while sleeping. Ellen was a great host and even let us check in a little early due to trying to get to the rehearsal dinner in time. I love how accommodating she was and kind.

Great (close to)beach stay!

Me and my 4 other friends stayed here and all of us thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It is a perfectly fine little house that was so conveniently close to food, grocery stores, and the beach. And as a group of just girls, feeling safe in a vacation home is definitely a major factor! Everything was clean and had plenty of room for a decent sized group of people! Overall, I would highly recommend staying here!

Left Early

We left one night early as this place was very disappointing. The property is located on a very busy road. The house is not in good condition. The side door has a 1/4-1/2” gap which allows bugs and is definitely large enough for rodents. Our dog was obsessed with trying to lick in the gap of the kitchen floor and cabinets. When my wife shined her light, she said it was caked with food. The dishes and silverware from the cabinets and drawer were dirty. The beds were noisy and uncomfortable. The primary bedroom has a cheap blind allowing car lights to shine directly into the room. The rugs were grimy and the floors and shower were very soft leading us to believe there is a lot of rot under the floors. We would have left immediately, but we didn’t have choices to change to. I would not recommend.

Close to everything

This is a barebones home as the listing says but it had what we needed to be comfortable. The home was close to the beach and close to historic district. Grocery store and restaurants within walking distance.

Perfect Girls Weekend!

This was the perfect house if you are looking to be close to the beach and downtown Charleston. It was about 15 minutes from each. The house was clean and great for a quick weekend away with girlfriends. This is a basic house but had everything we needed. The only thing I would note is it is right on a main road so there is some road noise. There was a grocery store and food options right across the road as well.
