SWEET TEA IS THE BEST

This lovely, cozy 3bd/2bath home is everything we seek in a home away from home… beautifully equipped and very comfortable with enough space for us plus any kids and pals who might come to visit. Its location: a one block (as the crow flies…)/two block walk from the beach; access is a breeze. Sit on the front deck and listen to sounds of the ocean… We will definitely be back!

Happy to be back!

This was the second consecutive year staying at this property for our family of four, and it felt like a home away from home for us. We love its proximity to the beach and Center Street. It thunderstormed every day of our stay, but we managed to find a sunny time at the beach every day but one. There was a snafu with the cable/wifi not working the first few days. The property manager communicated well with us and fairly compensated us for the lack of service. We also had a chance to meet the new owner, and he was friendly and welcoming. We suggested to him that an upgraded outdoor shower would be our one main recommendation.

We really loved our stay here. Sweet Tea had everything we needed. It is spacious, clean, has a very nice roomy and bright kitchen, and several outdoor spaces to enjoy, both sunny and screened in. The location is perfect and it truly is even cuter in person. We could have stayed a month and been happy! Maybe someday. We would absolutely return!

A Real Beach House

We loved our stay at Sweet Tea! It’s a nostalgic home that’s updated and comfy. The porch is a perfect spot to visit in the evenings while listening to the waves crashing. With only a short distance to the beach access, we made it to the beach in no time to set up and enjoy the beach! We’ve already started planning another trip.

Extra Special Birthday!

We are from Cincy and wanted to surprise my stepmom for a special bday. This host was instrumental in making this happen. He answered all of our questions quickly and was helpful with suggestions. The house was impeccably clean, inviting, so conveniently located, and perfect for our stay. I would be content to make this the only place we stay from now on. What a tremendous place to stay!!!!

Spring Break at Sweet Tea

We booked Sweet Tea as a last minute Spring Break Trip. Having never been to Folly Beach, SC before we were very pleased with our decision to try this house and beach. The house was well stocked and had plenty of general necessities. Also, everything was clean and organized. Location is great - short walk to the downtown/pier area where all the main restaurants are located. Also, just steps to the beach with 2 access points just a few hundred feet from the property. We enjoyed our stay and would like to visit again in the future.

Nice property

The property was great for our family and two dogs, the location is amazing and the house is comfortable. My only complaint is that the dishwasher was not functional during our stay, so we had to wash and dry dishes by hand after every meal. In addition, my daughter complained that her bed was not comfortable ( the second queen sized bed). Aside from this, we had a great stay.

Another Wonderful Stay in Folly!

This was our second stay at this property and it was wonderful (as was our first stay). The property was clean and well-appointed. We cooked a full Thanksgiving spread using only pots, pans, utensils, etc., provided - we did not have to bring anything from home. The location is an easy walk into town to eat, get a coffee, stroll on the pier, etc. The neighborhood is quiet and safe. The front porch is a great place to sit and listen to the waves. There is a beach access path across the street. Kevin provided all the information we needed well before we arrived and has always responded quickly to any questions. The beds are so comfortable that I took note of the mattress brand. The living room had plenty of comfortable seating for 6 adults to watch football and the dining room table sat our 6 for nightly card games. As soon as the dates open for our next trip to Folly, we will be booking here again!
