One of the best stays I've ever had anywhere. The staff and service were impeccable. Amazingly clean and welcoming. We met the other amazing guests with whom we had breakfast every morning. The room was perfect for two people with a spacious bathroom, open tile and glass shower, freestanding tub, shuttle to the beach, prepared breakfast and the list goes on. You have to be in good enough shape to make the steep staircases to your room but it's worth it. I almost hate to leave a review because I want to be sure the Inn is available the next time I go.

Nothing less than absolutely charming is how I would describe Waters Edge Inn! My stay was for job related purposes so I originally booked the Floridian suite, since it had a workspace,however it was out of service, so was offered two options. I chose the carribean because of its amazing bathroom and there was a table on the veranda I could use my laptop . The inn was very quiet ,private and I felt very safe as a female travelling alone. Just be prepared to climb several flights of stairs. Im glad I packed light and Lionel was very gracious to help me with my luggage. Excellent pillows and a super comfy bed and provided robe you will want to stay in! The outside temperatures were record lows so I didnt use the hot tub or bikes but they were available. I don't know if they are allowed but my only suggestion would be a small electric space heater since the room was cold at night and the thermostat controls the rooms on that floor instead of. individually. I will absolutely book again if I need to return to johns island for work!

Don’t like to leave only 3 stars but a few things are reason, otherwise enjoyed our stay. The staff when checking in was super great, friendly and helpful. The night was when we encountered our problems, Our stay was uncomfortable due to AC not working and Staff not able to fix this. Our room was very warm which made sleeping uncomfortable. The bed was extremely soft and for some reason the room had one chair to be able to sit, relax and or watch a movie together, this seemed odd since most rooms are occupied by couples.Trying to sit in bed to do so was not comfortable . The grounds were pretty and buffet breakfast was good. Great location.

Our second time at Water's Edge. Lovely setting, friendly staff, and nicely appointed rooms. Unfortunately, this time around, they had to move us to a different room on the second night, which was odd and a little inconvenient in that second room lacked a balcony where we planned on sharing a picnic dinner. Otherwise, a very nice stay.

Awful experience. We were expected to check out of a room at 11 am and not have a room until 3 pm even though both night reservations were made at the same time on the same reservation. The room was extremely hot and uncomfortable, and the temperature can't be controlled. The following morning when I came down for breakfast within the slotted time there was nothing left and the staff was having their breakfast.

As already shared in my rating, everything was wonderful! We loved the serenity of the place and location. Coffee, water, and tea were plentiful. Additionally, there was breakfast, and a social hour with alcohol. Personally, we don’t drink alcohol, but we did witness the beverages and appetizers. Everything looked great! We weren’t able to rate the breakfast, because we had to leave early each morning. We really enjoyed the bicycles. We rode them to the beach, shopping, and restaurants. The staff is very attentive and friendly. We are definitely planning to come back.

Water's Edge is a diamond in Folly with a fulsome breakfast. It's only a few blocks walk to the beach but also hidden on a side street away from traffic. I loved this place, especially my Atlantic room that had a jacuzzi tub and a view from the balcony of marshes. I slept like a baby and was made to feel very welcome by the staff. It's a classic B and B in every way. You can't beat it in Folly.
