Great condo! Will be back again!

We had the most amazing long weekend on Folly Beach in this condo! It was beautiful, and very specious. The location is so perfect right on the water. We drove into Charleston several times for dinner and nightlife, and the drive isn’t bad at all! Loved having the best of both worlds with the beach so close to the beautiful city. Highly recommend this condo!

This condo was great! The check in process was seamless and simply. Super clean and well stocked. Extra linens came in handy when we had a snoring uncle who needed to sleep on the couch. Had four adults and four kids was the perfect size for our group.

Folly Beach Fun

The property is located directly on the water and provided easy access to downtown Folly Beach by foot. The unit itself is spacious and has a nice layout. Cleanliness of the overall building (halls, elevator, corridors) and the unit could be improved, but all in all we had a great time.

Beachfront Luxury Feel Condo

This beachfront condo was nicely renovated. It felt like staying in a luxury apartment. Plenty of room for 6 adults and one child. The place has clean linens and towels and kitchen is equipped with basic essentials (cutlery, plates, glasses, pots/pans, coffee pot) but you are expected to supply some other basics (we had to buy paper towels, trash bags, laundry detergent, dish soap etc). Great place to spend the week! Great access to the beach and building swimming pool.

Location on the beach was just perfect!

Our week in Folly Beach started smoothly with an easy check in and beach gear already at our villa. Easy parking for our vehicles, and convenient elevator. Lots of good dining within walking distance and grocery stores not too far. The villa was bright and pleasant and the balcony was a real plus. Plenty of room for the 6 adults and 3 kids, 5 and under. One suggestion, would be to have a few hangars in the closets. I could see returning. Folly Beach itself is close to Charleston and many of the things we wanted to do.

Great property but accessibility issues

Big problem- two elevators for building and one not working at all. The working elevator, at the opposite end, daily stopped working resulting in guests trying to check in and out carrying heavy suitcases, carts, beach chairs and umbrellas, etc. up and down stairs. An elderly handicapped man, not in our party, had to be carried along with his wheelchairs down flights of chairs. Warning if you don't like steps.

Great location and comfortable unit.

My wife and I and our two teenage boys spent a week in this Folly Beach condo during the first week in April. The condo was great and we're happy that we chose it. The location is perfect--right on the beach and less than 1/4 mile to Center St and all the restaurants and shops. The view of the Atlantic from the unit was amazing--it's so close to the ocean that from inside the unit, it felt like we were on the ocean. The unit is spacious and the bedrooms were comfortable. The kitchen is small but has all the necessities. The living room is very comfortable and watching movies in the evening was a great end to the day. The only reason I gave the property less than 5 stars is because the unit needs a fresh coat of paint. With a fresh coat of paint, this is a 5 star property and we would certainly choose it again for a Folly Beach location.
