Very central to all things fun at Folly. Hardwoods were lovely and clean, nice decor. Hard to find front door, but the view of the ocean is exceptional and balcony is spacious. Easy beach access and nice to have parking off of Ashley. 3 bedrooms with 3 full baths were nice.

So glad the location, ocean views, and spacious balcony delivered! Good note on the front door and we will look into better signage to make it easier to find. The hardwoods, three full baths, and parking off Ashley are definitely some of our favorite features. Hope y'all make it back to Folly soon!

We just needed a short getaway from our busy schedules. Our stay here was outstanding! We got in really late and check-in was a breeze. The staff was very responsive to any minor items and the view was amazing! This location is just steps from the beach, as described, and soooo peaceful. We would definitely stay here again.

The location and size of the apartment was good. Very poor attention to detail by the owner - dust in several areas, no coffee filters or salt and pepper; master bed mattress was old and lumpy, cheap old pillows and the bed creaked. Only gave us 2 towels per person for 3 days and left old towels in the hamper from prior guest.

Thank you so much for your review, Doug! We're happy you enjoyed the location and size of the apartment. Sounds like we may have missed the mark in a couple other areas, and we are passing this along to our management team to take a look at. We appreciate your insight and we hope to welcome you back to the coast again in the future.

Overall, we had a great stay. It was very spacious and comfortable. Large rooms and large hallways made hanging out there feel less confined.Not leaving a five star because you have to pull sheets off of beds. These type of things should be part of the cleaning that they already included the price. Also had glass and ceramic decorations in the living room with some of them broken when we arrived, I’m assuming from prior guests. I could see this as a hazard with families with children.

I loved the property and would stay again if in the area. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants therefore never made a meal. Just steps to the beach and once on the beach then you can see the pier. Sunrise on the beach with the pier was spectacular! Make sure you hit Burts for provisions. Loggerheads put our basketball game on and is two blocks away. Great spot to stay and great communication with the property managers.

Great location and plenty of room, but decor and furniture was quite dated. The floor had not been swept or mopped and we ended up with very dirty feet just from being inside the condo. One bedroom had a broken window blind and one had a Walmart paper bag taped over it. The biggest disappointment was that the deck chairs' seats were busted through, making them unusable. We contacted leasing company but they were unable to replace while we there. We were very disappointed in this because the reason we chose this property was because of the view. Sadly, there was nowhere to sit to enjoy it. It is truly steps from the beach and walkable to everything.

Great views of the dunes and beach, and a quick walk to the beach as well. Quick and easy to walk back to the condo from the beach to grab snacks, bathroom breaks, etc. while the rest of the gang stayed at the beach - could even see them on the beach from the condo! Condo itself was a great fit for our family, and the elevator was handy with hauling our luggage. We’d happily stay here again.

We’ve stayed in this building several times. This was the first time we stayed in this unit. It isn’t as nice as the others we stayed in. It’s a bit dated. Toilet seats are worn and need replaced, Baseboards need painted. Curtain rod in living room came apart and not put back together correctly. Light fixture over dining table looks like a hall light. It’s not the right kind of lighting for over a table. Deck furniture is not in the best shape. Put more hooks in the bathrooms for towels, bathing suits, etc. The cleaners missed cleaning one of the showers altogether. Pictures are just randomly hung on walls. A little bit of effort and updating would step this unit up and compete with the others. Location is great.

Great time at Folly

Great location to restaurants - we could see the beach out the back deck, but could also walk to all of our favorite spots! The unit was pretty clean. There were some loud nightly parties while we were there which made it less than desirable for sleeping one evening. Other than that, no complaints.

Starting in the garage, the parking spaces were hard to maneuver/open car doors. The patio was unusable because the chairs were broken and the table/deck area was filthy. The main picture of the unit featured this deck/chairs/table overlooking the beach, so not being able to access this was a disappointment. There was no toilet paper rod in one of the bathrooms. No plunger for the drains in two of the bathrooms. There was mold on the shower curtain in the queen bed bathroom. The blinds in the bunk bed room was broken. The curtain rod in the living room was broken. There was no cover for the dishwasher dispenser. The floor seemed to have not been mopped in a long time. They were filthy/leaving bottom of socks/feet black. The couch and chairs in the living room had seen better days. No support and when sitting down, you sink. Overall, the unit needs some care, attention and upkeep.

Check in was easy. Sitting on the porch was lovely. VIew to the beach was wonderful. Access to the beach very easy and short. The things that were not great could be easily fixed by owner: The kitchen was not well equipped - knives were dull, not a full set of measuring cups, no salt or pepper, no washcloths were provided with linens. Not friendly to people flying in and can't bring their own stuff.

Perfection

Check in instructions were very easy and communicated to us in multiple ways (email and text). The property manager actually gave us the option of checking in at noon on the day of our arrival for an addition 50 which gave us an extra afternoon at the beach! Very convenient beach access and incredible view of the beach from the porch. The condo was very clean and well stocked. Property managers were readily available and quickly responded to our questions. Could not recommend this place enough!

The condo was wonderful - spacious comfortable living and dining rooms, kitchen with many amenities, large primary bedroom with comfy bed, and two smaller bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. The deck was roomy, with a table and 4 chairs and a smaller high table with 2 chairs. The view looking forward and to the right was beautiful, and we enjoyed watching the ocean and beach. The view to the left was obstructed by a large condo building, since we were on the first floor. Parking was under the building, providing cover for the car. The location was within walking distance of restaurants and the grocery store. We certainly enjoyed our stay and would love to return sometime.
