Thank you for your review. I can see how that could be a bit difficult for a wagon; you would definitely have to go around the back of the house. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we hope you stay with us again next time you visit Folly Beach.

Was perfect for our party of 9 high school seniors. Boys on the first floor, girls on the second and a perfect little retreat for us parents on the top floor. Folly was fun for the kids, short distance to pier and shops and restaurants.

Quick spring break

The location was perfect. Beautiful view of the river and short walk to the beach. All the amenities you could want to occupy 7 teenage girls. Close to the pier and all of the shops and restaurants on Folly. The girls have already asked to make this an annual trip.

Wonderful House!

The house and the property were lovely and just as described. Our family enjoyed the fire pit and the views from the back deck. The house was very clean and well equipped (kitchen, bathrooms, tvs, and games/puzzles). Our family had a great week on Folly in this house!

Beautiful location

I booked this on a whim and was very pleased with the accommodations. Our group of five adults and two kids under 7 had plenty of space to spread out. The house is a short walk to the beach and a 20 min walk to downtown. We did not have luck catching crab at the crabbing dock, but did catch a few elsewhere. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the house to anyone interested.

Made Lots of Memories

We had a great trip! This house was perfect for our family group. The owners communicated with us and were very helpful during our entire stay. This is a large charming older cottage perfectly situated between the inner coastal waterway and the ocean with beautiful views of the sunset. The interior makes you feel as though you have stepped inside a coastal magazine. Thank you for allowing us to stay and make great memories!

We're so happy to hear you found the indoor space accommodating for everyone and that the outdoor yard area was a hit with activities like grilling, bocce, biking, and playing in the grass – it sounds like there truly was something for everyone! We're also delighted you enjoyed the dock for fishing, crabbing, and paddling out. We appreciate your feedback regarding the kitchen and the front steps for beach gear. It's helpful for us to know, and we'll certainly keep it in mind. We hope you made some wonderful memories during your stay at Folly Beach and would love to welcome you back again!

Great Experience!!

Our stay exceeded our expectations. Everything we neededwas there especially for the kitchen. The layout for the home was perfect for large groups. The backyard was great with the firepit. Nice size deck for outside dining. The pics used to advertise the property were on point. We were not disappointed. I recommend this place for large families/groups. I do not recommend it for persons who have difficulty navigating stairs.

Perfect for extended family visit

We live here in town & just wanted a place for all our friends & family to stay when they came for our daughter’s hs graduation. We rented for a week & had about 10 people in the house on most of the nights with extra beds. The multiple levels make it easy for those that want to go to bed early to do so w/o forcing the rest to have to quiet down too much. The kitchen was well appointed w/quality pots & pans & dishes. All the beds were comfy (twin mattresses could be a little softer, but fine for kids). The fire pit & grill were perfect. We will definitely book again if we need another beach house

Family Reunion

We did not wish for anything. We had 9 adults and teens. Plenty of room for being together or being apart for some quiet time. Even with warm July temperatures we enjoyed sitting on deck with the umbrella raised for shade and watching the tide go in and out. We loved the bocce ball court and were very pleased with using the grill. Mostly we enjoyed walking to the beach. The downstairs hose and shower were handy for rinsing after the beach. The entire house is so cheerful and freshly painted. Love the natural light in the living area.

Wedding Week

The house was a great size for our family. The proximity to the beach was perfect. However, one of the downstairs bedrooms has a full size bed instead of a queen as listed. Also, when the outside shower is in use the water in the faucets inside would not come on. The upstairs suite is beautiful but there was a horrible fishy odor. Also, some kind of animal scratching in the attic kept us awake several nights. A few discomforts for an overall great week for a family wedding in our utopia, Folly beach.

It'll do

The view of the marsh from the deck is gorgeous. Lots of great sunset photos. The path to the crabbing dock could use some maintenance and the dock itself could use some TLC. Multiple dolphin sightings from the deck. The part of the beach the access took us to was beautiful and not insanely crowded even during the week of Memorial Day. If you have to cart a ton of stuff to the beach, expect to add a block to your walk. We had a beach wagon to carry all of the shade tents, chairs, and umbrellas. There's no place to store your beach stuff on the front side of the house - the beach access side, so you have to walk around the block or carry your full wagons up a set of stairs and down another. The outdoor shower is great. Roomy, excellent water pressure and has hot water too! Air conditioning in the master and on the main level worked like a champ. Ground level got a bit muggy. The twin mattresses feel like they're only meant for young light children who can sleep anywhere. We were a group of 10 adult women and nobody in a twin bed slept comfortably. The other beds were very comfortable, but housekeeping needs to make sure the sheets they use are the right size for the bed. The bottom sheet in the master kept popping off the corners. The internet was quite spotty. Even the main TV kept disconnecting. We did report the issue to Vacasa but it never improved, even after rebooting the router. Also, the remote to the TV in the master was missing rendering it useless. Reported to Vacasa and never got a replacement. The owners do provide Netflix and Hulu, so if the internet is working you have access to those streaming apps. The porch light was on the fritz - reported to Vacasa - and wasn't fixed while we were there. Seems like there was an entire circuit out because the outside outlets weren't functional either. There was a housekeeping issue in the basement where some candy had been left under a bed. The ladies sharing that room felt like they were camping. Vacasa offered to send someone, but they decided that it wasn't worth the hassle. The kitchen is quite well stocked - except for forks. Some smaller spoons would be great too. Careful with the stove knobs. They move very easily. The only major issue was lack of room for our groceries. All cupboards and pantries are pretty full. Love the fridge! It kept everything nice and cold. Having the ice maker as an amenity would be a great addition. The living room is a good space for everyone to hang out . The couches are well worn and could use a restuff or replace. Not super comfortable for the length of a whole movie or two. Overall, vacation isn't about the house, it's about the people you spend it with. This house really could be great with some minor improvements.

Thank you for your review, Jacqueline! We are happy to hear your party overall had an enjoyable stay. We are very sorry to hear the beds did not suit your preferences. The mattresses are in good working order, but each guest has their own unique preference. We have provided your valuable feedback to our local manager. Our manager confirmed the wifi was fixed during your stay and more utensils were dropped off when requested. Our manager has addressed the issues of cleanliness with our housekeeping team. We apologize for dropping the ball this time and look forward to hosting you for a true 5-star experience in the future!
