Perfect location and great house!

We had both the Blue Crab and the Stone Crab for a family reunion and it was wonderful! The houses are beautiful and the location couldn’t have been better! We really enjoyed our trip, the house, the island and the beach! We plan to be back and would definitely stay here again. Absolutely loved it!

We enjoyed the visit

The house was in a central but at times loud location. The team at My Ocean Rental did a great job responding to text messages and even got us a new coffee machine when ours was not working. The hot tub and grill are two great features.

Close to everything

The location is great- close to the main drag and close to the beach. The house was very nice to stay in. We enjoyed the outdoor hot tub area and also the screened in porch. I wish the house had been a little more stocked on things we needed (ie: paper towels, dishwasher pods, trash bags). I would stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a place with great amenities.

Excellent location, cleanliness okay

The location is perfect. Place was only okay for cleanliness. We did enjoy ourselves. Note, the window in the bedroom with 2 single beds is very dangerous, especially for young kids. The screen is pretty much knocked out and it is only a foot off the ground, nothing to stop someone little from falling out a second story window!

Great trip with friends

I really enjoyed this home. It was clean and smelled clean upon arrival. I really must have not paid attention that it was half the house we were renting, and normally this would have been fine. But we did encounter several nights of having to hear some loud, unruly neighbors, but it wasn't terrible. We barely ran into them during our stay, so it wasn't a dealbreaker. My group enjoyed being able to walk to town, easy walk to Berts grocery and of course the beach. We did rent a golf cart because we enjoy going to the beach on either end of Folly night right in the middle where it's the busiest. Great time overall and super nice company to rent from.

Good

It was smaller than we anticipated, kitchen and living room close together but it is hard to know these things when booking on line looking at pics. It is a beautiful full functioning kitchen! The drive way was tight with the tree in the way, but we figured it out. My husband loves an outside shower, but it wasn't private so he was bummed abut that. Despite the construction, we managed getting to the close beach. We truly had a very nice stay at Folly Beach. It is a lovely beach house! Thank you so much for asking! Thank you for your review and your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed the great location and making memories. It was a pleasure hosting your group and we hope that you choose MyOceanRental for your next Folly Beach adventure!

Nice property but a little too noisy

My family and I did enjoy the 1st two days of our stay at your property. After the people staying in the other side arrived it was very noisy. You could hear them talking, running up and down the stairs and even snoring in the upstairs master bedroom which made it a undesirable place to try to sleep. The property was clean and modern but needs to be modified with a noise barrier between the two sides and a garbage disposal in the sink would have been nice. There was also a nail sticking up on one of the stairs that we almost got injured on but we notified Charlie the maintenance guy and he promptly took care of it and was very professional. Thanks Charlie! We enjoyed meeting you and talking with you.

Family Vacation

The Blue Crab was perfect for our family vacation to Folly Beach. The house is located w/in easy walking distance to the beach AND two blocks from downtown, making it super easy to walk to dinner or get ice cream. The house was very clean and well furnished. We would definitely consider staying there again should we vacation in Folly again.

Clean and Convenient in Folly

Property was very clean and bright, beds were all comfortable, bathrooms were spacious. Kitchen appliances were immaculate, and kitchen was well stocked with pretty much everything you would need, in very good condition. Nothing *weird* about this place, as you can sometimes find in vacation rentals. No dirty corners, no strange smells, no janky kitchen supplies that were obviously too tired to keep at home so the owner stuck them in their rental. Lots of stairs, and it is a duplex, but sound from the other unit wasn’t bad. Only a block from the main street in Folly, and Ashley St is a busy road, but the noise ordinance in town means you’re not up all night listening to the party two doors down. If only someone would tell the birds that are up at 6:00am!

A True Gem

This bright airy space was immediately welcoming. Our stay was perfect! We were a family of 6 that was able to spread out across 4 bedrooms. The home had all that was needed for cooking and entertaining. The outdoor space made for the perfect family meeting spot complete with a hot tub that worked perfectly.A block or 2 from the beach, shops and restaurants rounded out the amazing convenience factor of our stay. We WILL be back!

A Perfect House for the Beach

I was so pleased with this property. The location was so convenient to the beach and the main commercial area. The furnishings were first rate and everything was geared to our comfort from the well stocked kitchen to even the mattresses and bedding. I would highly recommend this property. We loved the fully screened in porch that our 2 year old could safely play in and enjoy the fresh air. If you book it you will not be disappointed. The only negative was the need for towel bars in the bathrooms but it would not keep us from staying there again.
