The location of the house was great because it is located further down from the crowded beaches. The house was very clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. The furniture underneath the house needs to be replaced as the legs on most of the furniture were eroded and made it hard to use. But overall, we enjoyed are stay.

Birthday Beach Getaway
This property was beautiful and even better than the pictures. The proximity to the ocean and the beautiful view from the screened in porch in the back of the house was our favorite part! It is towards the end of the street and offers a more private experience than being in the busy section of town. It’s close to restaurants in downtown Folly and 30 minutes from Charleston where we spent a day exploring. Try the shrimp and grits at Rita’s in Folly! We used our beach gear credit for chairs, umbrellas, and bikes. The road is narrow and has no shoulder so riding bikes was challenging especially with parked cars.

Charleston house
This was the first time some family members visited Charleston. We absolutely loved the house the minute we walked in. The great ocean breezes and wind were relaxing.
We all want to come back and just stay at the house no sightseeing.

Ocean view, quiet, great location
The cottage was at the end of E. Ashley and there was decreased traffic flow and beach activity. Very nice! Screened in porch and car port area was used every day. Would absolutely stay there again!! Also received almost immediate responses from property management and were very cordial.

Recognition Weekend at the Citadel
What a wonderful long weekend at Folly Beach! We enjoyed all this property had to offer- the easy beach access, the convenient parking, ample space inside for our party of 6. It’s also nice being close enough to downtown, but far enough away to be truly relaxing!! We will be back!
