Relaxing Beach Getaway

Beautiful and comfortable home right on the beach! Great location. Close to restaurants, pickle ball courts, and the Morris Island nature preserve. We enjoyed starting and ending each day by sitting on the screened in porch.

Perfect Folly Beach vacation house!

We loved the simplicity of this house directly on the beach. It was very clean and comfortable with a kitchen that included an impressive collection of cookware and dishes you don’t always find in a rental. Check-in was easy, check-out required only a few requirements. Communication texts were helpful and appreciated. And the screened porch was the perfect space to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. It was a great visit!.

Fantastic Beachfront Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute beachfront home. The home itself was perfect for our group and very clean. The screened in porch was amazing and the short walk across the private boardwalk to the beach couldn't be beat. One small cleaning issue but the management company was very quick to respond and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely stay here again... and well, plan to!

Wonderful wayward whims

Great family beach week. This place is smack dab in the beach. You can enjoy it all day long with lugging the cooler and tents. Wonderful porch. It isn’t real big but works perfect for a group of 8 or less. You are away from the crowds by the pier but still an easy bike ride or short drive to center street. Loved it

Beach Holiday Getaway

Our stay was so peaceful! The best part was listening to the waves as we drifted off to sleep. The house was everything you could wish for, clean, spacious and well equipped. We enjoyed the screened porch, watching the waves and especially the dolphins. A much needed recharge after a long year. Will definitely book again.

Fabulous place!

My sister, our spouses, and mother stayed for a long weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wayward Whims. Cozy, comfy, fully equipped, and on the beach! We had a great time, even cooked a thanksgiving feast with the well equipped kitchen. The screened porch was the best, especially since our two full days there were rainy. Very private, quiet, and off the beaten path. Such a great place!

Clean, directly on the beach. Stocked with essentials. A little away from the center of Folly and restaurants, etc. That might be a plus or minus in your book. I liked the quiet and less traffic. Overall a nice experience.

Wonderful and Relaxing Getaway

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wayward Whims. This was just what we needed after a stressful year where my family could come together from different locations and reconnect. The location was perfect for us! Out of the way from the busy areas of the Pier (which we did enjoy) and heavy traffic. The weather was perfect too even though the remnants from Hurricane Lee were still lurking out at sea. The property was as described and very comfortable for all of us. We enjoyed sitting in the screened-in porch to watch and listen to the waves. The kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed sitting around the living area in the evening. Our stay was perfect in every way. Thank you for making that happen.

Great house, great location

Spent a week with 2 families in the house including 2 teens and a toddler and the house was perfect for us. It’s a great location, quiet and the easy access to beach is the best part. The kitchen and bathrooms were well appointed, except one bathroom door didn’t fully latch which made for a fun toilet trip if the toddler was awake. Heads up there are no beach towels, but the listing was clear on that. There were 2 beach chairs and we picked up an inexpensive BBQ (which we left behind for the next). Everything was new and clean and we had the best time - highly recommend!

Nice house on the inside, not much beach

This house was actually much nicer on the inside than outside. Great view from the screened in porch too. Looks like it has been remodeled fairly recently. Having one room with 4 single beds seemed kind of odd, I would’ve opted for at least a queen, single then a bunk bed or something. Big drawback for us was that there was NO BEACH when tide came up! Water came up to 2-3rd step on staircase. Only time there was beach to sit on was at low tide, and it was not soft sand, it was compacted. Fortunately it was 4 adults, no kids. If we had brought our kids, they wouldn’t have enjoyed the beach (for the short period of time it was available). I wouldn’t stay here again so let for this reason, otherwise was nice. Just negates the whole purpose of renting a beachfront house. Unless you just want a view

Fantastic beach house

This beach house was perfect for me, my husband, and our 2 young girls. It was clean upon arrival with an easy check in process. The house is very well equipped, with everything we needed in the kitchen. (It has a drip coffee maker so don’t forget your coffee grounds!) We appreciated the ice and water out of the fridge. The beds were comfortable and we had plenty of towels. It was a very quiet part of the beach which was nice. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone! We had an amazing trip! Thank you!!
