Beach front beauty

House had gorgeous views and plenty of space/bathrooms/bedroom. We loved all the decks and windows! Lack of screens was a huge problem. Especially in November when you’d love to get a cool breeze, the doors could not be left open due to bugs. Like others have said, it is definitely dated but this really did not bother us. With the beach front location, you can’t ask for more. Easy walk to town!! The tv situation was really confusing, but someone did stop by promptly to help with it. I asked about early check in a few times and it would have been helpful if they notified us if we could NOT check in early vs only contacting us if we could (which they didn’t). Otherwise amazing stay with friends, and would highly recommend!!!

Great Stay!

Overall, this house was beautiful and the views are amazing! The house lacked the essentials such as trash bags, toilet paper, paper towels and we didn’t appreciate having to buy them. Beds not comfortable. All the while definitely worth the stay!

Large house and beach steps away

The house is very big and steps from beach. Kitchen fully stocked with equipment. While the view was incredible, it seemed to lack a few amenities for the price. Doors didn’t have screens so couldn’t stay open without bugs coming in, no beach towels, photos show 2 lounge chairs and none were there, couldn’t use grill. Overall a great place to stay, but amenities could be better for the price.

Great location

We had a great week here on Folly Beach. The location is great, right on the beach, and we enjoyed sitting on the big deck in the mornings and at night. The place’s decor, bathrooms and furniture are dated and could use modernizing and sprucing up. We could have used more seating in the main room. Responsive property manager, and the listing doesn’t say it but there is a gas grill on the property which was a pleasant surprise. Reasonable accommodations for the price overall.

Lighthouse at Folly Bay

Great location and views! Perfect for for a family gathering. On the negative side outdoor furniture needs repair, TV’s are almost impossible to manage with multiple remotes and kitchen lacked enough pits and pans, garbage bags and paper towels.

Our kind of place

We had a great time. The place was wonderful!!! That being said , I want to address the negative reviews I read. If you expect everything in the house to be like new it isn't. The house is 30 years old! Most everything has been updated but not everything. What's important to me has. New deck, appliances, sliding doors, beds, water pressure, hvac, fresh paint, furniture. Nice smell. CLEAN! The layout of the home is exactly what I would do if I was to build one. So to those negative reviews I say quit being so picky

We have stayed in this house for several years.

This year we found that after running one load of laundry that the laundry room flooded which I texted the agency about but never heard back. Also there was one bedroom with no light bulbs in the lamps and the bulbs in the dining room flickered like a strobe light. It was disorienting and made it hard to use the dining room.

Lighthouse - Nice property, but showing it's age.

The property was as advertise, except it did have a gas grill. Other reviews noted the property is "tired", and that it is. It could use a spruce up (paint, modernize the kitchen, better TV). Met our needs and we would consider staying there again.

Great location, close to town, working with Carolina properties was wonderful. They responded to our messages promptly. The house was well equipped, except for an iron. We had an ironing board, but no iron. Other than that minor issue, we had no complaints.

Annual Family Gathering 2023

Location was perfect. The accommodations/bedrooms definitely met the needs of our family. They were amazing views of the ocean from many of the bedrooms as well as the deck and the gathering space. Management company was super helpful and responsive. Some family members did find their beds uncomfortable including flat pillows specifically the twin bedroom beds were extremely hard and uncomfortable and an upstairs bed has a moderate roll toward the middle of the bed slant on it. For the size of our group, nine people, the gathering area space furniture was not adequate. There was only seating for a maximum of six people. We also found that the furniture was not especially comfortable for longer sitting time such as the length of a movie. One of our family members noted that the home could use a deep cleaning including replacing or significantly cleaning the air vents. None of this prevented us from enjoying our time there. It is definitely on the list of properties we would consider for our visit next year.

Five million dollar view

Brian and Kayla were amazing - so quick to respond to requests and minor concerns and when I say EVERY issue was addressed I mean ever issue. This house is spacious and the view is absolutely breathtaking! The house needs a little updating and TLC but met ourneeds exactly. I would definitely book again and like I said could not have been more satisfied with the property management OUTSTANDING responsive service. For example: when we arrived there was a broken rocking chair on the deck - I called and spoke to Kayla and the next day by noon we had a new ricking chair which was important for us as we were traveling with an infant. Same response with every other concern ! The only reason. I gave 4 stars on cleanliness is there is what appears to be some mildew on a ceiling vent upstairs that could easily be addressed with bleach - thanks for a great stay!

Beachfront bliss

We had a wonderful stay with three generations (ages 2 to 78!) at the Lighthouse. The location is fantastic, right on the beach and close enough to the main drag for an enjoyable walk down the beach, but far enough that the beach in front of the house is not too crowded. The open concept living space is bright and airy, with beautiful views of the ocean. The house was comfortable for our group and kitchen was well-stocked. We appreciated the extra beverage fridge and full size freezer in the laundry room. There were some issues with the microwave blowing a fuse every time it was used - management sent out a repair person but the problem seems to require a bigger fix. A storm took out the stairs from the deck to the private boardwalk shortly before our trip, which was a bit inconvenient, but the boardwalk was easy to access from under the house, and management was responsive to our concerns about the issue. Overall, a great trip to a solid vacation property.

We went with the entire family, the only thing I would consider next time is looking for a property with an elevator. I had my two elderly parents with me and the steps were intimidating. However, this property is exactly as described.

Smoke & Mirrors

Our initial impression of the property was fantastic - well equipped kitchen, beautiful views and very clean. Upon closer inspection however, property was in need of a facelift - paint, new blinds, railings replaced outside on deck, new air intake covers. The beds upstairs were full size and not queens as advertised online. Despite the ceiling fans, the upstairs was very hot also. The cable TV was not working even after management came out to fix it. Lastly, it would have been very nice to use the elevator for our luggage and groceries.

2020 vacation

This house was the worse house I have ever rented at Folly Beach and I have been renting homes there for thirty years. First no power up stairs no ac stayed hot all the time the sheets had not been Changed we had to wash them before we went to bed but didn’t get any sleep because the house was so hot. Dishes were filthy we had to wash everything before we could use them . Black mold growing on vents and ceiling. The pictures you have on line look nothing like the house really looks dryer didn’t work either . I would not rent this house again and I will tell all my friends and family that rent to avoid this house for sure worst vacation I’ve ever had

What’s not to love!

You walk in the front door and the huge ocean is right there. There were many nooks and crannies to be comfortable in. The ocean was steps out the door. All but one room in the whole house had water views. We had a lovely time and would feel lucky if we were to come back.
