Slice of heaven

Perfect location. Hearing the ocean while I slept. Waking up to the most beautiful sunrises. Watching surfers in the morning sun with dolphins jumping and playing around the surfers. The pool was such a wonderful surprise. I can’t wait to come back.

Didn’t need to leave the property

We are a family of 5, with 3 small children ages 6-8. We didn’t need to leave the property and our kids were either busy watching surfers, in the pool or in the ocean. The sea turtle nests were an added attraction.

The pool was a hit

It was just the right size for my husband and I to spend a weekend away. Right on the beach, with a pool my husband described as the perfect size and temperature. Had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable, and the screened in porch had very relaxing furniture to enjoy more time outside. The alarm in our room did go off at 4 am, but that's on whoever left it turned on before us. Easy enough to fix. Comfortable beds, a bathroom with just what you needed and tv for nights in. We will definitely be back.

Not pleased.

We have used this location now twice. Very unsatisfied with the condition of the property. The house is a wonderful location. The house itself less satisfied. The stove top worked to cook eggs one morning. When trying to cook other items only one burner worked and when we tried to use the same burner again would no longer work. Had this same issue 3 years ago still was not fixed. The dresser in the primary bedroom fell apart couldn’t even use 3 drawers out of the 5 for our clothes. No hangers provided if you did want to hang anything which was disappointing. The bathroom sink would not drain as the stopper was stuck and it was broke and rusted into two pieces below no way of fixing ourself. The primary room window air unit could see light below it. Was not properly sealed. They stated to bring hand towels for kitchen to use. Did not state we must also bring pot holders or a pizza cutter. Was not the dream vacation we were expecting. Heated pool was great if the sun was out and shinning bright. Otherwise pool was cold and not enjoyable. Very disappointed to see how run down the inside of this property has become. Either poor management or owners just making a buck.

Couples Quick Retreat

This property was a renovated two-level beach house w heated pool, 25'x12', very literally steps from the beach. Location, location, location. Very clean. We rented the bottom portion. Fairly small inside but it just worked for us two 50-something married couples. The screened porch was well furnished with wicker furniture. We would like to return to Folly Beach and to this place specifically.

Small Place. Gorgeous patio and beachfront location.

The price for the listing was definitely worthwhile. The outdoor screened in patio and heated pool was beautiful and spacious with a view of the beach yet private from the beach. That alone was absolutely worth it. The house was small.. the two bedrooms were hard to move around in, beds squeezed in and little space for anything else like luggage. Carpet in main room was very rough like an outdoor one.. needed socks for sure. Felt a little cold most of the time- the thermostat went back to their settings automatically so it was hard to keep it comfortable. Amenities were minimum, no coffee, dish soap, barely enough toilet paper- but truly was fine. We had a wonderful stay even in January. The keypad for unlocking the door was finicky- we had to try 3-5 times most times and sometimes couldn’t get it to work. It was in a great quiet location on Folly beach that was just a 3min drive to the restaurants on Center Street. Everything we tried in town was amazing. Great seafood and the quickest service I’ve had! So nice with baby.
