Dolphin Watch - Beachfront - Charming - Cozy - Boho hotel!

This oceanfront 1 bedroom 1 bath condo is both charming and cozy. It features hardwood floors, a gas log fireplace, new kitchen cabinets, granite counters, stainless appliances travertine counter in the bath with a vessel sink and new custom tiled walk in shower. This condo is an end unit located on the third (top) floor of the building which gives you more privacy and a wonderful ocean breeze for those warm summer nights. You can enjoy both beautiful sunrises and sunsets from the covered porch as you watch the dolphins play.

There is a private boardwalk over the dunes right on to the beach. The Folly Fishing Pier is just steps away and you are only one block from downtown 'Funky Folly'. Walk to the many wonderful restaurants, bars and beach shopping. Also, downtown Charleston is only 12 miles away if you choose to venture off the beach.

This is the owners' personal condo. We enjoy the unit often and even got married here. We hope you will enjoy your stay here as much as we do!

Clean room, beautiful beach view from balcony. Comfortable king bed. We had an issue with the AC one afternoon but the owner & property manager were quick to act. AC was back up and running that night. Appreciated how they kept the lines of communication open. We had a great time and plan on returning next year.

Location and view is unbeatable! Sitting on the balcony was just like sitting on the beach but you didn’t have to deal with umbrellas or sand. Stacy was very responsive when I had a couple of questions. If we didn’t live 8 hours away, we’d be back every year.

Beautiful view of the beach and fishing pier from this third floor walk up unit! The home was stocked well with everything we needed for our stay. We contacted the property manager several times and she was quick to reply and address the issue. Convenient walk to everything on Folly. Perfect location and so great to have an assigned parking space for our use.

Fantastically beautiful overlook of the ocean and pier right on the beach! We truly were able to watch dolphins playing in the the ocean with the first rays of the morning sun as well as fisher birds diving for their meals, right from our deck! Everything you need is just a short walk away: excellent restaurants, coffee, shopping, music and more. This is our second stay at Dolphin Watch, and there will definitely be more!
