Old school Folly

We had a great week at Folly with family. Great location! The house was a bit smaller than we anticipated but it was well appointed, clean and nicely decorated. Just wish it had more seating areas inside.

Fabulous family beach house

The property was centrally located and more than fit our needs. The back deck and front porch were worth the price alone. It had a very well stocked fridge and the owner went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing Folley Beach visit. I highly recommend this property.

Perfect beach cottage!

This cottage was perfect and so so CLEAN!!!! We're extremely picky about cleanliness and this place did not disappoint...10 out of 10! We loved how the owner kept the history and quaintness of the original cottage while updating in all the right places such as bathrooms and with decor. The location was just right as well, right across from the beach and beach access. We will definitely stay here again!

Great location steps from the sand. Cool Vibe. It is an extremely clean, updated beach shack, with plenty of outdoor space to add to the size of the house. Everything was provided. They communicated very well and used text for easy access.

Cute House

Overall our stay was great! The house is smaller than we anticipated. We stayed with 4 kids and 2 adults. House was clean and well equipped. Only small issue we had was the toaster didn’t work but we didn’t bother to call manager. Little tight space for a family of 6 people but LOVED being steps from beach access!

We stayed at Vitamin Sea and it is a truly vintage cottage. My only complaint was you could not see the beach. It was convenient to walk to the beach and you could take a pet but to be that close... also underneath is kinda scary as someone could sleep there and you would never know it. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company. Please note that the home name has changed.

Amazing property!

We loved staying here! We had 3 kids with us, aged 5-9. It was perfect for them! Beach access was close and quick to get to. The only issue we had was one of the windows in the bunk room didn’t lock. But I messaged the property manager, and they immediately offered to come have it taken care of. But our kids ended up in another bedroom so it wasn’t an issue. It was nice to have the promptness of having it fixed if we needed it! The property was very clean with many amenities provided that we hadn’t even thought of. The screened in porch was our favorite place to be! We would definitely stay here again!

Old Beach Cottage

My wife and I stayed in this house during the month of February, 2022. So we got to know it well. This box asked me to tell you what I loved about the place. So this limits my comments to the positives only. There are negatives: - The most desirable feature of this house is its access to the beach, very close. - Grocery stores and other shops are just a short drive away. - I loved site-seeing in the Charleston area. - The beds were comfortable. - Adequate parking.

Amazing place

We absolutely loved quaint Casa Flamingo. The location is steps from the beach. The inside of the house was very clean and thoughtfully appointed. The front and back porches made the stay. We sat on the front porch whenever we weren’t at the beach and loved it. We would definitely stay again in this jewel of a beach house.

Fun in the Sun

We Really enjoyed our stay at this property. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and adequate for our weeks stay. Ceiling Fans in all rooms were a plus. The kitchen was small, but had everything we needed to prepare meals and we managed well with the counter space we had. The close beach access was a blessing, especially when carrying umbrellas, chairs, etc. The screened in porch with tables and chairs was a highlight. We spent a lot of time there eating meals, playing games and just relaxing, and morning and evening there was a nice cool breeze. Back porch… not so much, it was too hot to sit out there. We rented bikes for the week and it was great to have the open garage to store them. Overall, we would recommend this property. The few things which were amiss could easily be remedied and have been brought to the attention of the property manager.

Fantastic location, close to the beach, the only sound one hears is that of the waves of the ocean. The house has a beautiful deck and a lovely porch, both fully and comfortably equipped. The rooms are finely furnished and all is very clean. Perfect for a wonderful holiday.

Nice quant , comfortable house, close to beach.

The house is quant and clean. Well stocked. It has two nice decks, one is screened in. Beds are comfortable. The beach is about 80 steps from the front door, easy to get to. We got regular texts / emails from the property manager to make sure we had everything we needed and that we were comfortable. Dan

Overall great experience

PROS: 1.Location - steps away from to the beach, quite neighborhood 2. Open deck screened porch, so you can be "Outdoor" even when it rains 3. Well equipped kitchen CONS: 1.Not enough closet space to hang up clothes (mentioned previously by one of the reviers) 2. BBQ could not start due to broken igniter - we called rental agent, requested assistance but no-one showed up to fix the issue. We used the matches only to realize that we are lacking proper BBQ equipment. 3. Although house was overall clean,front porch was really dirty , seems like it was not mopped for months Overall property is old, has kitschy Florida charm, but would have no problem coming again.

Perfect Family Get Away

Great location, easy beach access and lots of outdoor spaces. This cozy, old timey beach cottage was perfect for our family get together. From the screened in front porch to the large back deck and quaint interior, there was plenty of space to spread out. Exactly what we were looking for.

Easy access to the beach. Small amenities were a bonus… super clean linen, plush bath towels, starter coffee, toiletries & cleaning supplies seem small but were a nice surprise. Loved the house & loved the location. Easy in & out to the market and restaurants.

Casa Sandspur

This home was clean and was in a great location just across from the beach. It is dog friendly , however the yard around the house is full of sand spurs which made it very difficult for our dogs to use the yard. We had to constantly remove the stickers from their feet when they went outside. Also the sand spurs ended up getting on the rugs and in our feet.
