Beach-tastic!

Gigi is a phenomenal hostess!!! We texted back and forth with ease. She was extremely generous with her info and tips! The place is awesome! We enjoyed the pool one day but really enjoyed the beach the most (we Oregonians have a coast not a beach-- if you know, you know!). A huge shout out to the owner's closet for having chairs and boogie boards to really allow for the perfect beach day! Inside the closet was also the coveted orange shopping cart to help get stuff from your car to the unit and back! We didn't get a chance to use any bikes in the other closet, but what a treat! Gigi made sure we had everything else we needed too: there were coolers and beach towels! The place was gorgeous and served our needs perfectly. Gigi gave us great tips on how to see the 4th of July fireworks, just a 20 minute walk from the unit! And she was right! From this unit, we easily took a couple trips to Charleston, as it really isn't far at all (rental car). We would return in a heart beat. Loved it!

Mariner’s Cay

Perfect spot for our week in Charleston! We loved watching nature from the screened porch every morning and evening. After a day of sightseeing, we relaxed in Claire’s condo listening to the birds and watching the boats and low & high tides. The location was the perfect distance from Charleston and Folly Beach. Gigi was very helpful in suggesting restaurants and spots to visit. She responded quickly to questions we had. I would highly recommend Claire’s place for couples and plenty of room for families.

Amazing Beach Getaway!

This condo was a welcoming beach home away from home! The view of the marsh from the balcony is indescribable and the community is perfectly located. We felt secluded enough that we had our own little private getaway, but were close enough to the fun and activities on Folly Beach. We will definitely be back!

Stunning sound side view!

Claire's place on the 3rd floor was stunningly beautiful! It was just the two of us there and we had plenty of room. GIGI, the manager and daughter, communicated extremely well with us. She made room in her outdoor closet for our bikes which was so convenient for us. The small kitchen was well stocked! The views are beautiful. The porch was so comfortable. I loved when it rained because I stayed on that porch all day and watched the ominous weather form over the sound. We so enjoyed out stay! Thanks GIGI!

whispering the words "sooo peeeeaaaaaacefuuuul"

If you want a slice of peace and quiet this is it. 4 of us (ages 77 to 8) walked out onto the back screened in porch & then complete silence. All I could say while drinking in the view of the river at sunset, was whisper "sooo peeeaacceefuuuul." I didn't think the view was going to be so nice based on the picture s. The sunsets are amazing too! The check in process went smoothly. House is beautifully decorated with lots of pretty live plants. One large bedroom has a king bed and the other room has a queen size bed. The owner has lots of extras like boogie boards, beach chairs, big beach towels, bath towels, shopping cart for elevator. Cose to a grocery store & to the hopping bustling downtown area of Folly Beach. The beach is awesome. Very easy to find your way. Don't pay the $25 to park when you can do the city public pay to park machines for $2/hr. Loved our stay!

Spectacular water views

This property fit our need for 3 adults. There were 2 spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, living room, galley kitchen, and dining room, and the best for us was the screened in porch overlooking the Folly River and low country. It was beautiful, peaceful, and greatly enjoyed by us. We also really enjoyed the pool. Would definitely return.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I retired to Folly Beach over 20 years ago from Pennsylvania. We had traveled the East Coast looking for the perfect location and fell in love with Folly! The beach, boating, the wonderful people, Folly was definitely the whole package. The 15 minute drive to Historic downtown Charleston with all it's beautiful sites, exceptional restaurants, shopping and events was also a terrific bonus. My two daughters, grandaughter and grandson live here as well. Folly is the vacation destination for our family in Philadelphia as well.
