The host was very accommodating. I would have preferred the hairdryer be furnished, but the amenities were excellent. Also, great location close to beach, pier, and Center St. Very comfortable and clean.
Our second time to stay at these condos and they are perfect. Super close to the beach, clean, secure and the location to Center Street and Bert's is fantastic! We'll definitely be back!
We had a wonderful time here - the location couldn’t be better - fun days at the beach and lovely quiet evenings on the semi-private deck. It’s also very close and convenient to all of the amenities of Folly Beach and a quick trip into Charleston.
Great stay at this property! It was clean and communication with the property manager was efficient. The condo is in a great location, right off the beach and within walking distance of many restaurants.
Will definitely be back again next year!
This was a short getaway for my husband and I, couldn’t have been a better trip! Condo was adorable and perfectly located to do all the things we wanted. Can’t wait to get back
Always a fantastic experience staying on Folly Beach. Excellent proximity to local restaurants and only steps to the beach. The house was spotless & cozy with plenty of amenities and fully stocked for any occasion.
Perfect location right on the beach and walking distance to downtown and Bert’s grocer. The place was clean and comfortable and the views excellent! Condo exceeded our expectations!
Our stay was WONDERFUL. The condo was super clean and right on the beach! The host was super quick to respond to my questions. This was the perfect spot for my husband and I. We will absolutely be back!
We had a great time staying in this little condo. It had everything we needed, it's in an amazing location, AND it's dog friendly. We were able to walk to the market and to various restaurants that would allow our pup on the property. Other than the slightly chilly weather, it was a great getaway!
The room was nice and clean. The only complaint I have is that I felt like I was in a fish bowl since the room was directly in front of the stairs. There was no privacy at all.
The overall condo was clean, check in was easy. We should have stayed longer. Next time definitely gonna re book with this host! Thank you for the hospitality!
We very much enjoyed our week at this beachfront condo. The owner/manager was easy to communicate with and very accessible, which was helpful and appreciated. Walking straight onto the beach for walks along the surf, and into town, which was right there with many restaurant selections (and an excellent massage therapist.!), and bicycling through the wonderful neighborhoods were activities made easy with this great location. Highly recommended!

Great rental. Loved the decor, the amenities, clean, great water pressure, clear and professional communication. Beautifully located and literally you open the door and bam….beautiful ocean and beach view. Great sunrises and sunsets. Just a great location!!! I want to stay here forever. I do hope to stay again.
We had a wonderful stay! The unit is right on the beach. We won’t forget sitting on the porch watching the sunrise and listening to the surf! We will be back!
The condo is exactly as pictured/described. The living room is cozy and our bed was comfy! The decor is very cute! We never needed to use it, but I love that there’s a washer and dryer right off the living room. We were able to bring our two dogs which was a huge plus for us. The best thing is that it’s right on the beach! We just had to walk down the stairs and take the boardwalk directly to the sand. Perfect!
