Spring Break

Great location at the quiet end of Folly Beach. You can't get any closer to the beach without being in the water. The house had starters for all paper products and a fully stocked kitchen for cooking. The floor length family room windows kept the beach feel alive on our 1 rainy day.

Folley First Timers

We were in town for two soccer games in the area and jumped on the opportunity to stay at the beach. Folley Beach is fantastic, however I wouldn’t go during peak season; too peoplely for me! This house is legit on the beach and away from the downtown hustle and bustle, although a very simple bike ride or golf cart ride away. I would bring / rent bikes or a golf cart due to the significant lack of parking downtown. Just like any other beach town the no-see-umm were out in full force (yes even at this house). The house is simple and has everything you need. The gated deck was enjoyed thoroughly by our pups. We will definitely come back to the area and would consider this house again.

Best Folly Vacay Ever!

We are locals from the Charleston area and have gone on our family staycation to Folly for the past 6-7 years and this was our favorite house we have ever had. The pictures don't do it justice. We loved how open the kitchen/living space was with massive windows that provided a great view. The outside deck was also amazing! Almost didn't want to go sit down on the beach because the deck was so close! We will be back next year!

Perfect Beach Home

Had a great time at Making waves property. House was well stocked and very clean. Exactly as described. Location couldn’t be more perfect. Close to restaurants but good distance away from the crowds at the pier. High tide was not an issue. Had plenty beach space all morning/day/evening. Went with 2 adults & 3 toddlers. Ample space for all. Everyone had a blast. Will definitely come again.

Every bit of our stay at Making Waves was incredible. The listing agents were fantastic getting us booked. Check in was a breeze. The minute we walked in the door, we were blown away. The pictures do not do this home justice. The view is absolutely breathtaking. The home comes with absolutely everything.

Beautiful stay near Folly Beach

When my gf and I walked into this property we were just blown away by the view of the beach and ocean. We literally sat there for the first day just watching the waves and hearing the ocean. It was very peaceful. It’s a great location with a short ride to down town Folly and Charleston. We were even invited to book a private boat tour by the owners! It was an amazing trip. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended.
