The property was clean, comfortable, and furnished nicely. The information for check-in was provided promptly and communication was great. I was surprised that the unit didn't have a stove, but I knew this at the time of booking and we planned around it. The location to the beach and the onsite pool were the best part.

Gem of a place
We stayed in Folly Flats A and it was just perfect. The condo was very neat, and had all that we needed for our stay. The location was fantastic, just steps away from the beach and an easy walk to restaurants and stores. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Couples Get-away Spot
Communication and check in were easy. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Loved the credit to rent beach equipment - the cart was fabulous. The apartment is the perfect size - small but has everything you need. The convection toaster oven may be different than you are used to, but is just like having an oven. We brought a type of hotpot to use to boiled water and it was great to scramble eggs as well. One of those would be a good addition to the property. The pool is awesome. We used it more than we thought we would. That outdoor space is wonderful and the added patio space is as well. Those 2 additions made the stay. We will definitely be back. The location is perfect too. We brought bikes and never needed a vehicle. No complaints and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Lovely condo
The location is good. It should be more prominently stated that there is no oven/stove or dishwasher. It wasnt a problem, since we were just there 4 days, but it could be for someine staying longer. Again, it is a lovely place.

One day at the beach.
We had hopes to have several trips to the beach, only had one day during the complete trip. The first day we went to the beach out back, wasn't a clean place on the beach seaweed and reeds everywhere not to mention dog crap everywhere, wife actually cried. So we took a day to ride around and check out the public beach. Decided to go there the next day then it started raining. Finally went to the beach the day before our vacation was over. The apartment was nice and clean furniture was a little uncomfortable for someone my age, didn't sleep a wink the first night. Stayed upstairs 2 nights wife liked the upper unit hated the lower unit. Did miss going to the beach Friday with family due to having to wait for a key to the lower unit. Not heard if I'll get my deposit back yet. Wife cleaned some before we locked up. Not what we expected, really stressful stay. I'm seventy, got a bad heart don't need the stress. Did enjoy seeing my nephew play in the baseball tournament! Started eating in Brunswick due to the smell and cleanliness of the places we tried, plus $. I will go back and try again.
