Disappointed

My biggest disappointment was the listing didn’t mentioned that the half bath was not part of the living quarters. The half bath is underneath the home. Also, it was a challenge to get the temperature comfortable.

Won’t be back

Folly beach While I am very hesitant to leave a bad review, I cannot in good conscience leave a favorable review. For starters, when we drove up to the property it is very clear that it needs a good pressure wash and paint job. The only staircase that leads to the inside of the house is very precarious at best. The steps end at the grass, but to the side is a landing to get to the half bath and porch area that is not level with the steps. My sister actually fell at that point of the staircase and broke her wrist. Also, the property description boasts of a fabulous ocean view. Although the beach access is close and convenient, we could only see a tiny slice of the ocean to the left and across the street from the deck, so to label it a fabulous ocean view is a gross overstatement. As for the inside, it is decorated nicely but is in much need of a good wall scrubbing and paint job. Also, the rugs in the kitchen and den were very worn and dirty. The lights over the stove and one at the front door did not work. Lastly, we completely disagree that 5 people can sleep comfortably there. That may be true if you have two adults and three small children, but even then there’s no place to put luggage etc. One of the beds is a bunk bed in which a child could easily navigate the top bunk stairs, but that is not necessarily the case for an adult. For all these reasons above I cannot leave more than a 2 star rating.

Great Little Getaway

The location of this property was perfect for accessing the beach and provided ample parking. Having a hose and outdoor shower area was great. I would recommend having a rubber mat (with holes) in the outdoor shower area instead of standing on the wooden deck boards. The kitchen area was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and utensils. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The bathroom was fine and ample bath towels were provided. The washer/dryer and second bathroom are easily accessed on the lower level outside of the home. The television could be updated to a larger size and the two chairs in the living were not very comfortable. The outdoor gas grill was a little dated but worked fine. The lower swinging chairs, underneath the deck, were great for relaxing and the outer upstairs deck was great for sitting and listening to the ocean waves while enjoying an evening beverage. All in all it was a good beach house, located just far enough outside of the main strip, to provide a nice and enjoyable stay at a decent cost. Great little getaway.

Close to beach

Pros- This was a cute little cottage near public beach access. We enjoyed the privacy and parking space. The area under the deck had some lovely shade and nice swings to relax in. There was a full sized washer and dryer below the unit and a hose to rinse off sand. Cons- The air stopped working the last 2 days into our visit. It was very hot. The first night we thought maybe it was a fluke- we had been with family all day and it had been very hot outside so we went to bed, not thinking much of it. The next day it seemed the same and only got worse. We contacted the manager of the property and she was very quick to reply and relocated us the last evening into a condo closer to the restaurants- so it was actually a free upgrade. Prior to the last two nights, the air was SUPER COLD and comfortable. Prior to the air situation, my only complaint is that the area on the rugs were not swept well and there was no shade on the balcony to keep you cool.

Foley beach

The location was great and the property itself was good but it clearly was run down and needed some cleaning up. It was perfect for my family of five and had a great spot for easy access to the beach. The property management was very nice and super responsive!

Great Location and Cute Beach House

We really enjoyed our stay at this cute beach house located directly across from the beach in a quiet neighborhood. Very clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again. The only issue was there weren’t enough beach chairs and no beach towels.

Family Beach Vacation

Great location, close to beach access in a less crowded area of the island. Great for a laid back, low key beach vacation for this family of three. Just what we wanted.

Folly Beach

We enjoyed a few days here at Folly beach. The house is a typical, relaxed beach house 1 minute walk from lovely Folly Beach. It was a 15-20 minute walk to the area with shops and restaurants. Great for a small group stay.

Lovely week at Folly

It’s a quaint beach cottage with lovely decor and excellent location , making it a great value for the price. Very easy beach access in a quiet part of the island. Comfortable master bed/mattress. Good seating for the size. Nice outdoor space. We would have appreciated beach gear, such as chairs, but the property manager does provide rental information. We would absolutely stay here again.

House is just one house over from beach access. We had a thunderstorm come through and it was perfect to relax on the hammock and bench while we waited for it to pass! If I ever find myself back in SC, I would rent again!

We enjoyed but want to share one issue

We really like the house and all it's amenities. We would definitely want to stay again. The only issue we had was finding mice dropping in the pots and pans and a dead roach in the cabinet in the kitchen. We are only sharing this so you are aware of what the cleaning crew left behind.

Great location! Beautiful house!

This property was perfect for my family to get away to the beach! The two bedrooms worked perfectly for our family of four (two adults plus two children). The convenience of the outdoor shower and laundry room were a big perk!
