This duplex is a great location for a quick and easy drive to Folly Beach and to Charleston. The unit had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay and was clean upon arrival. The air conditioning units were key and helped to reduce the dampness in the air. I would stay again.

Amazing stay!

This was our first time using VRBO and we had a great experience. The owner is kind and responds quick. The place was very clean and modern, the pictures don’t do it justice! This place looks even better in person! Great spot between downtown and Folly Beach. Having beach chairs on the property for us to use was very nice. Thank you for having us and we will for sure be back!

Great stay

We had a great stay at this unit. The kitchen/living area was spacious and clean, the outdoor area was lovely and private, and the bbq joint next door was a huge bonus. We were traveling with our baby and needed a crib, which was mentioned in the listing but not in the unit when we arrived, but Kit was able to provide one very quickly.

Long weekend in CHS

Property was as advertised, good location near restaurants and grocery stores. A little loud at times due to closeness to Folly Rd. Beach chairs and propane grill were a nice touch
