Nice, but not Luxury

We have reached out to the property managers, before rating the property. They have addressed the issues. And offered a discount on a future stay. 1. The elevator is NOT for guest use. We did receive a waiver for it- which we submitted, but they did not receive it. In any event we were told upon arrival that it was broken/ not for client use/ we had to pay to use it- all in the span of 24 hours. Be prepared for LOTS of stairs. This was confusing, and disappointing. 2. There are zero additional blankets in the house. We waited almost 2 hours for a response about where to find them, were told they would be delivered the next morning, and then the next morning when I went to track them down, I was told we had to PAY for them. All this to say, we went out and bought extra blankets for the beds. Something this simple was an easy fix that they should have handled better. There should have never been 3-4 conversations about a basic fix. 3. There were multiple sightings of a rodent- in and out of our garage, and the next door renters- who were managed by the same company. Management has said they are addressing this immediately. 4. The chairs in living room were covered with dog hair- and pretty gross- we were credited 10% of the cleaning fee to compensate for this. Overall, nice sheets/ beds/ towels and well stocked kitchen with nice appliances. But for the price & the marketing, we expected much better overall.

Elevator did not work and the property was sold as having an elevator. I was willing to pay extra. It was very inconvenient. We are 73 years old and found the 4 flights of stairs very difficult. I feel inaccurate listing. Should get compensation for miss representation.

Filthy

We couldn’t check in until 5 because the inspector was late. When we were able to get in, the house was filthy. Called management immediately and they sent someone out the next day. It was still not cleaned after that. The floors leave your feet and socks black. So much debris and sand layered on them. Other areas including furniture had layers upon layers of dust and fur. Bird poop was on many of the exterior balconies and had not been cleaned off windows. The furniture was disgusting. Food was left crusted in counters and stainless steel filthy. They did deliver a new sectional but had problems getting it in the unit which cut into our dinner plans. The garage door opener was broken which was also replaced. On the third day an inspector appeared at our door to change out the furnace filters. People constantly in and out. I feel that with a proper deep cleaning , this would be a great place as the location is excellent. Also beware of building next door as it is condemned and being rehabbed. With some TLC this place would be great! No pride in ownership. Management was responsive however, it needs to be cleaned and better organized.

Everything was easy and convenient to rent. Only hiccup was, beach chairs & umbrellas were not there that the Concierge Reserved. Dont recommend this service. Lifeguard service on beach is same service and less expensive. Otherwise The View is Beautifully decorated and like brand new!

First impressions not good

Living room rug and furniture need a deep clean to remove visible stains or just replace all together. A little disappointed that we stayed for 5 nights and ran out of kitchen garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper and when we requested more we were told that we would have to buy our own. Paying over 1k a night and not having normal amenities??

Heart of Folly Beach

Came in town for C of C graduation, happened to be mother's day weekend too, so Folly Beach was crowded. This condo is located smack in the middle of Folly. The beach out front is very crowded not only because the week we chose to come but there is the chair/umbrella rental right in front. Depending on what you are looking for, rental chairs right out front and walking distance to everything downtown Folly this is a good location. It was too crowded for my liking, but might meet someone else's needs. This is a nice condo and offered up to 4 parking spots, which was needed since we had local family and friends popping in for a visit, but we did find random people parking in our spot because of how crowded this location is. Furnishings and quality of condo is very nice but very used; it could use a deep clean ( all rugs, upholstery, baseboards etc.) and some touch-up of paint etc. Because it is nice, you can overlook the wear and tear but it does need a little tlc. Unfortunately, the building next door is condemned and that takes away from the setting as well. Visitors use this area to cut through, there were birds, animals, and trash all around it. And an alarm kept going off in the unoccupied building; for the sake of the surrounding buildings it needs to be torn down. I gave this condo only 3 stars because of needing of a deep clean, the crowded location and the abandoned building next door. BUT someone else might be able to overlook the need for a little tlc and the building next door and love the central location, so for them it could be a 4 star. I never needed to communicate with the management other than the check-in/out process and it was simple enough and they seemed to be attentive, but I really can't speak too much on that subject. The weather was great and it is an easy drive to downtown. If this condo was located on either end of Folly, which would be much less crowded, I would stay there again because it was nice, but the crowded beach, and very public location was too much for me.

Great property and Location

The property is beautiful, and the location is great! Within walking distance to shops restaurants and bars. The views from each room are so beautiful. I celebrated my 30th here with some couple friends and there was enough space for us to gather and not feel on top of one another. My only take back is that the property could have been a bit cleaner. The balconies were not that clean. Could have used a good sweep, even found an old bandage on the main balcony. The floors inside the house looked clean, but we had to use shoes in the house because our feet were dirty from walking barefoot. And the showers could use a little extra TLC. The master shower floor was still a bit dirty. My friends and I loved the property, location, and promptness/friendliness of the management team. They were extremely helpful. We can definitely see ourselves coming back. Maybe they just need to hire a new cleaning team.

Just Book It!

We stayed here with family and friends and had a fantastic week! The property is just as advertised. The kitchen is well-stocked, even with starter supplies like olive oil. The high-end appliances were a great feature. The bedrooms were all very comfortable. Only two of the four face the ocean, but that worked out fine for us. The beds are memory foam and super comfortable. We all slept better than we do at home! The location is excellent. You can walk to Bert's (grocery store and deli) and all the local shops and restaurants. The beach is just steps away - no long boardwalks like many places further down the beach. The stairs are A LOT. So if you're not used to that, go ahead and pay the extra $100 for elevator use. Everything was very clean. I did clean all the high-touch areas when we first got there, just in case. The banisters were still quite dirty, but that was really it. Overall the place was very well cleaned. The only drawback I would say is the construction on the pier. You're literally two doors down so there is a lot of heavy equipment noise and diesel fumes. We're somewhat local so we knew this going in. But if I had flown across country to vacation there and no one told me there would be heavy equipment noise at 8 a.m., I'd probably be a little annoyed. There were times we had to close windows and doors to keep out the fumes. Overall, our stay was fantastic and we're already looking at booking for two weeks next year.

Great Vacation

Luxury Simplified Retreats is absolutely fantastic. We checked in flawlessly on a Friday night. This was an annual family vacation for us on Folly Beach. We selected this property because it is located VERY close to all the action on Center Street and we could take our dogs, which previously rented properties would not allow. What a treat!!! The dogs loved the beach, the condo, the town. ‘Nuf said about that. Our biggest concern after the dogs was whether the three stories would be inconvenient as my wife and I are heart patients and my Daughter-in-Law is nearly seven months pregnant. We were able to pay a little extra to gain access to the elevator which was great for moving things in and out, but, honestly, we didn’t use on a regular basis. There just aren’t that many steps. The unit itself had all that we needed, but the owners could make it better in a number of ways. The beds in both oceanfront suites are in need of replacement. For that matter, all of the beds are very soft. Several of the chairs in the dining room need replacement, but this wasn’t a problem for us since we never ate in there. We wanted furniture on the third floor master balcony, but there was none. Internet service was iffy. TV channels were the minimum provided by xfinity - which was VERY minimal (no ESPN, FOX Business, many other common channels unavailable). Ok, that’s the bad. Bottom line - we’ve already reserved this unit for next year. Hoping to see some improvements, but would not miss out on the location or layout by trying something else. Not at all disappointed in this vacation location. And Isabel at Luxury Simplified Retreats really did a great job communicating and coordinating to make our visit the absolute best possible.

The View in Folly Beach

The property was just as described. There were 4 couples and it was a nice size for us. It has a nice dining room which we never used. Nice to have a washer and dryer. The only complaints are trivial: there was only one hand towel in the kitchen and no dishcloths and there need to be more bowls for eating. Other then that no complaints and we would stay here again.

Folly Beach Condo Rental - 113 East Arctic Ave Unit "C"

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and the condo were perfect since it was 200 feet from the pier and main street of Folly Beach. The condo had everything in it (4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, nice kitchen, family room and large garage) and was well laid out, clean, and well maintained. We were provided excellent customer service by Luxury Simplify Retreats which helped us with all of our additional needs such as groceries upon arrival, beach chairs, and baby bed. We loved going deep sea fishing and to the water park as some of our activities. The small beach town had plenty of restaurants which we enjoyed. Several items that need to be corrected are the internet, ice maker, and TV's. The internet did not work most of the time, the ice maker rarely made ice, and the TV's would work some of the time.

“The View” Review

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were 4 couples that enjoyed this spectacular home directly on the beach, with a very short walk to the shops & restaurants. It is furnished beautifully and the kitchen has everything you will need when cooking in. The elevator was a God send for the two in our group that had trouble with stairs. The individual accommodations were great with each couple having their own bathroom. The problems we had were taken care of by maintenance very quickly. We did not like the fact that we could not all gather together on the balcony, since it was very small. It holds 4-5 people at the most. (It hard to see in the picture). Also, one of the bedrooms has a queen sized bed. Why? The room is quite large and a king would fit easily. Overall we had a great time and would highly recommend “The View”!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I cannot say enough about how beautiful this beach house is! I was in awe from the moment we walked in till we left. We had my 90 year old dad with us so the elevator was perfect for him. The elevator opened up right into his room. Spectacular views from any of the 3 balconies of the beach. The fireplace was a wonderful asset especially since it was a little cold while we were there. Each room was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was well stocked. Walking distance to eateries and shopping. It was definitely a pleasure to stay in this home.
