This was a great traditional home, with lots of space, well equipped kitchen, and a wonderful master suite. It was an easy walk to beach access, and had an easy parking area. Our dog loved it!

Thanks Cindy. I’m glad you all had such a good time. You picked a perfect time of the year to come visit us.
Good communications with the host and clear instructions and expectations for all the basics. Kitchen had everything to prepare meals for our group though cooking utensils/pots pans could use a refresh. Easy walk to beach but note access path is next to house so if you bring pets beware that other dogs/people walk the path during the day.
The house is beautiful with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. The location is fantastic. Everything is easy walking distance. We loved the beach being so close. All of us had a great time!
We loved our stay! The house was well equipped with everything we needed. It was a great location not far from the beach. We would definitely stay here again!
Location was perfect! Quick walk to the beach and to main road! House was great for the family! Plenty of room!

Thanks, Philip. I’m glad you all had a good time staying at our place again! That means a lot when you and your family enjoy our place so much that you wish to come back over and over!
Perfect place to stay - just a few blocks from the ocean and from "downtown". Bob was great to work with and responded to all questions instantly. Definitely would stay again! Thanks Folly Beach for a great time!
This is a spacious, well decorated home located blocks from downtown Folly Beach. Just a couple of minute walk from the pier or any of the local restaurants. Lots of a room for indoor and outdoor entertainment. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
House is very nice. Bedrooms are spacious. Multiple rooms with TV's and seating areas for entertaining and visiting. Large screened in porch is nice.Relatively short walk to the beach, I would guess 100-150 yards, approx. 3 minutes. Garage was a nice feature as it rained one day.

Wonderful property for enjoying Folly Beach and Charleston
Unique property in a fantastic location convenient for walking to beach, restaurants, bars, groceries, and shopping. Very spacious and stocked well with everything you might need, including beach gear and bikes. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the Unleashed.
It was perfect for our mini family reunion. Well supplied, great location, good parking, and excellent communication from the owners. Between the great location for walking and the golf cart for running around you don't have to move your cars once you parked.
Wonderful, spacious home. Owners were incredible to work with throughout our stay. We rode out Hurricane Ian here and felt completely safe! Great location as it was just a short walk or golf cart ride to the beach and onto the main strip. We plan to stay here again when in the area.

Hi Steve, I am glad you all had a great time. Yea, the house is quite sturdy. Ian, though threatening, didn’t bother Unleashed! Thanks for staying with us and you are welcome back any time! You will be on our Friends and Family discount list!
Thanks,
Bob
We had several family members for a Charleston wedding and it was a wonderful space to spread out. Interesting neighborhood and cute restaurants within walking distance. Great choice for us and owner was very easy to work with
Our group of 10 had a wonderful experience staying at this property. The home is very spacious with enough places for people to sleep comfortably. It's a quick walk to the beach/pier, restaurants and local shops. Bob was quick to respond to any questions about the stay, which I greatly appreciated. If you are looking to head to Folly Beach with a larger party, this is a great stay!
What a find. Our stay was absolutely fantastic. If you are looking to visit Folly Beach, this is a must stay property. I would book it early, I am certain that previous renters will be back. Enjoy!

About the host
Hosted by Robert Biederman
Kimberly and I live with our three children in Wexford, PA. We are originally from SC where she and I graduated from college. Kimberly works as a Teacher. I graduated from Medical University of South Carolina and am an Academic Cardiologist practicing Advanced Cardiology in Pittsburgh, Pa. I was the Voice of the 1984 Junior Sword Drill at The Citadel where I too fell in love with Charleston and Folly Beach. What little time we have we enjoy visiting Folly and escaping the pressures of the hustle and bustle of the city, taking a short jaunt to the Beach and walking around the quaint town. Relaxing to the wireless music, watching TV on the baconey and enjoying the sunset on the beach rounds out a wonderful way to enjoy our house!
Why they chose this property
This property is the only Mediterranean Beach house on Folly or any other of the local beaches including Isle of Palms, Kiawah and James Island. It was custom-made designed, styled and commissioned harkening back to Tuscany. Original pieces and architecture adorn the house making the Villa a true majestic site in Folly while having won several awards for its design and features.
It is 450 feet from the beach, and easy to minute walk. We are a three minute walk to Center Street with all the activities. Our 2 daughters live in Charleston and we work with some of the renowned cardiologist at MUSC nearby so this is a perfect spot to get away, share with you and to enjoy.
What makes this property unique
Well apportioned, top-of-the-line furniture accommodations and a distinctly different look than most standard beach house. A Master Chef kitchen upstairs and a top-of-the-line Grill, refrigerator and covers patio make this place extraordinarily unique.
