This is a great property in a great location. The views from the third floor deck were wonderful. We watched the sun rise and sun set from the top deck and also got to watch the pelicans fly by within a few feet of us. The house was also very well stocked with kitchen equipment, games, and beach chairs/games. We were two families with five teenagers who were able to safely walk all over town and the beaches. We plan to return!
The home was very nice, clean, modern. The rug in the living room was taped down with package tape so it wasn’t a tripping hazard. The TV service could have been better. The property service were very quick to answer our questions. Overall a great vacation home, and would stay there again.
The property lived up to its billing and was everything we needed (2 adults, 3 teenagers and 4 children). Multiple spaces, wonderful outdoor access and prime beach access made it a wonderful stay. Sunrises and late evening beach walks were fantastic. The kitchen was extremely well appointed and the bedrooms were very comfortable!
The ocean views from this house were amazing! Very nice decor & well stocked. We were able to walk to bars & restaurants and also a nice little grocery store. The host was very accommodating. Would highly recommend this rental!
We booked for a family Thanksgiving celebration. The house was perfect for 3 couples and we enjoyed both the beach access and short walk to restaurants and shops.

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're grateful for wonderful guests like you. We look forward to welcoming you back.
This house has the best vibe. The views from every room are outstanding and very peaceful. We saw dolphins and fish and enjoyed the lovely surf. Every room is well-appointed—even the kids' room is light and airy. The home is well-maintained and thoughtfully designed. Worth every single penny!

Five star. Walking distance to all of town. Your own section of beach. Roof top patio. 👍🏼
The house is spectacular. Enough room for all but also with enough tv’s for individual preferences. Everything is as good as it looks in the pictures. No surprises. Would definitely come back.

Great place
We had enough towels, for everyone, 10 adults. The house was clean. The outdoor grill had brushes so we could clean it to use. Very convenient to the water and town and even a short distance to Charleston. Beach was very clean. Convenient to grocery stores and supplies.

Disappointed in the cleanliness of the furnishing. Living area, bar stools, patio furniture very stained. Communication and check in were great and location excellent. Had a few issues during our stay that we dealt with and will let the local rental agency know

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful property. The location is amazing with a private walk straight out to the beach to take in a beautiful sunrise. The home was well equipped with all the kitchen necessities needed to make our stay amazing. We stayed at this property over the new year and got to experience New Year's Eve Foley Beach style with the iconic flip flop drop! When we arrived, we were greeted with sweet New Year's welcome hats and necklaces to help us celebrate. This property is also just a short drive away to downtown Charleston where you can visit historical sites and try lots of delicious food. We definitely recommend this property if you have a larger family and would love the opportunity to stay again.

We typically do 4-6 VRBO trips a year with family and friends. This was a last minute trip to Folly Beach with my sister and our husbands.
This house was one of the best decorated and well stocked of the many homes we have stayed in. My sister and I wanted to duplicate everything and take it home!
It was in the PERFECT location on the beach and was very clean and enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing your home with us :)

Very clean and pretty...
This is a brand new home right on the beach and within walking distance to downtown...It has high end appliances and fully equipped with everything you might need. We had a great time and loved the upper deck...we spent a lot of time up there. The views from all the bedrooms were excellent...ocean views. There were only 4 adults and a baby and we had a ton of room...too much for just the 5 of us...but we felt like we didn't get in each others way at all....Highly recommend this cottage....very, very nice :)

Thanks for your recent review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your vacation. Its great that the property met all your needs. We look forward to helping you with any future bookings. Thank you again for choosing Carolina One Vacation Rentals.
Sincerely,
Management.
This property is exactly as advertised. Beautiful house right on the beach and only a 5 minute walk to the bars/restaurants on Folly Beach. The communication was also outstanding with the property manager. One thing to note, normally with rentals like this, the pictures look beautiful and staging looks like it is out of a magazine, then you go to sit on the couch or sleep and everything is beyond uncomfortable. Not with this place. The beds and linens were hotel grade. The furniture was all very comfortable to our surprise. I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a place on the water and close to Charleston.
