Family Vacation

The Blue Crab was perfect for our family vacation to Folly Beach. The house is located w/in easy walking distance to the beach AND two blocks from downtown, making it super easy to walk to dinner or get ice cream. The house was very clean and well furnished. We would definitely consider staying there again should we vacation in Folly again.

Clean and Convenient in Folly

Property was very clean and bright, beds were all comfortable, bathrooms were spacious. Kitchen appliances were immaculate, and kitchen was well stocked with pretty much everything you would need, in very good condition. Nothing *weird* about this place, as you can sometimes find in vacation rentals. No dirty corners, no strange smells, no janky kitchen supplies that were obviously too tired to keep at home so the owner stuck them in their rental. Lots of stairs, and it is a duplex, but sound from the other unit wasn’t bad. Only a block from the main street in Folly, and Ashley St is a busy road, but the noise ordinance in town means you’re not up all night listening to the party two doors down. If only someone would tell the birds that are up at 6:00am!

A True Gem

This bright airy space was immediately welcoming. Our stay was perfect! We were a family of 6 that was able to spread out across 4 bedrooms. The home had all that was needed for cooking and entertaining. The outdoor space made for the perfect family meeting spot complete with a hot tub that worked perfectly.A block or 2 from the beach, shops and restaurants rounded out the amazing convenience factor of our stay. We WILL be back!

Wonderful Stay!

Our family had a wonderful stay on Folly Beach! The house was beautifully decorated. We had plenty of space for everyone with all of the bedrooms and bathrooms. We especially loved the hang out space under the house where we watched football games and enjoyed the hot tub. The location was perfect and we loved being able to walk to the beach, Bert’s Market, restaurants, and shops! We really hope to stay here again!

A Perfect House for the Beach

I was so pleased with this property. The location was so convenient to the beach and the main commercial area. The furnishings were first rate and everything was geared to our comfort from the well stocked kitchen to even the mattresses and bedding. I would highly recommend this property. We loved the fully screened in porch that our 2 year old could safely play in and enjoy the fresh air. If you book it you will not be disappointed. The only negative was the need for towel bars in the bathrooms but it would not keep us from staying there again.

Beautiful Property - Exceeded Expectations

Our family just returned from our vacation at Folly Beach (week of June 22nd) and we already began planning our next visit. The home is beautiful and 100% accurate to the pictures. It is very well appointed with all the comforts of home, including a well stocked kitchen/supplies, smart TVs in every room, bathroom toiletries, etc. The linens and bath towels that were provided were comfortable and high quality - along the lines of a higher end hotel. The location is prime if you like to be near the hustle and bustle of the island - you can walk everywhere in a matter of minutes, but don’t let that deter you as the 10 pm - 8 am noise ordinance ensures a good night’s sleep. The downstairs enclosure area was great to hang out in after a day at the beach. The home included at least 5 beach chairs, a bucket/shovel, an umbrella, and a couple boogie boards. The property management were very responsive, but only have office hours from 9-5, Mon-Fri; however, they do provide a contact number in the event of an emergency. We were also provided with the opportunity to check-in a day early which we took advantage of as we were planning to leave Friday afternoon, stay the night in a hotel in Virginia, then drive the remainder on Saturday morning. Checking in on Friday allowed us to leave early Friday morning and drive straight to Folly - it was great being all settled in Friday night and it even saved us money compared to what we would have been paying for 3 hotel rooms.

Great house near beach and in walking distance to restaurants and retail

House was either new or recently renovated. It's a duplex and I was in the B side. The house was a couple of blocks from the beach and a block from the main restaurant and retail area in Folly Beach. The downstairs space with the hottub, outdoor shower, grill, TV and seating area was nice. We were able to store our beach things in there and keep sand out of the main house. I thought it might be noisy because of being so close to restaurants and bars but it was not. Very minimal oceanview from porch off master bedroom.
